I am 15, 5'5, and 147 pounds (67kg) . I keep a very healthy, Russian home cooked diet. I haven't eaten at McDonalds since I was 9, and I drink pop maybe 3 times a year. In the summer, I went to the gym alot and did alot of cardio and weights for 3 hours, 5 days a week, I did not lose weight and looked pretty much the same except I felt more muscular. My diet isn't high in fat and is pretty healthy. I am generally a happy person, and am not stressed out.
I don't like the ';low-fat, low carb'; whatever type foods because I believe fresh and healthy is the best way to go. I am also someone who gets more pleasure from the taste of the food, rather than knowing its low calorie. I am still not accustomed to many foods in America such as cereal, muffins, scones, peanut butter and jelly etc
I don't have time now in the fall to go to the gym as I am now going to school and receive high grades. I look good in clothes and it is not a huge issue, yet I still have a bit of weight on the tummy.What is your best weight loss advice? Pleasssssseeeeeee.?
Here are some tips that have served me well:
eat slowly/chew more than normal
(you will enjoy the food and you will *poop* it out of your system faster- which is good!)
put your fork or spoon down (that means on the table!) in between bites
use a smaller than usual utensil or even a straw for drinks and yogurt
drink water throughout the day. no excuses.
don't sit in front of the TV
(studies say people who eat while watching TV will eat more than people somewhere free of stress)
put lots of effort into preparing it
(don't just open a wrapper and dig in)
** if i am eating at home and not on-the-run, i will take my yogurt (for example) and spoon it into a glass dish and make it look pretty. for some reason, i enjoy it more
don't feel obligated to fill your plate or swipe it clean at a restaurant. you won't be wasting food because you could always carry it out. you'll actually save money because the leftovers could make a good lunch the next day
cut your food. no need to take ginourmous bites. it doesn't look right and this rule goes back to the ';prepare'; ruleWhat is your best weight loss advice? Pleasssssseeeeeee.?
Here is what you need to do if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Lose weight) and you will have more energry.
If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads) in one and protein (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have any or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross country skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension) (YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. So your body doesnt go into starvation mode, YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF.
If you stick with this you will have a great body. also drink a least 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonalds, Wendys, etc because there is nothing good for you on the menus - even the salads are bad (bacon bits, cheese, dressing, etc)
Good Luck :)
1) Eat more steam food, lean meat, lean protein, vegies and fruits
2) Cut out the junk food, soda drinks and snacks. Get rid of the junk food from the cupboards! Eat cashew / almond nuts instead.
3) drink plenty of water / green tea
4) Exercise - look at combining weights and cardio into your program. you can look at alternating upper and lower body exercises without rest, say bicep curls, then lunges , rest and repeat. With cardio, try sprinting 100m, jog 100m and repeat.
Here's a review link to a program

7) have an action plan for long term goals, start off with small goals and increase it gradually over time. And you will see in your size drop.
8) form a support group. Make yourself accountable to someone like your parents/relatives/friends/partners. Best yet, get them to participate in a healthy lifestyle.
Good luck

i work in surgery and back in april i took a contract at a hospital. my weight when i started was 270. 270 is pretty heavy but im 6ft 1 so i didnt look like your typical 300 pounder. i worked there for a couple of weeks and i didnt fit in well with the staff. i noticed there were a select few that didnt like me, and they were talking bad about me behind my back. they gave people nicknames, and they thought it would be appropriate to give me the nickname ';doughboy'; i didnt care for the name. i had later found out that the nursing director had underwent gastric bypass, and only lost 100lbs in a whole year!!!!.........thats just sad. he was one of the people i didnt get along with. there was an anesthesia nurse that had been dieting for about 6 months and he openly would tell people he lost 80 lbs. which isnt too bad. but one day he reprimanded me for something............that made me pretty much hate the guy. overall, the majority of the staff and i didnt get along for some reason.
you see, in surgery emotions and egos are blown way out of wack and there is way too much drama going on. doctors and nurse anesthetists pretty much think they are better than anyone they come in contact with.
anyways, i felt like i could stand to lose a couple of pounds. so i tried the atkins diet.
my first day i was ridiculed for even trying this diet, but ive seen this diet work for some so i stuck with it.
after a week had passed, 5 pounds came off!! people had their 2 cents, theyd say ';haha no bread again huh?'; theyd say ';oh that cant be healthy, eatin' all that meat'; at the end of this week, i got a gym membership.
week 2 i was at about 264lbs. on monday i started my exercise regimen. i started using the eliptical machine for an hour, and weight trained for an hour a day. i saw the anesthesia nurse at the gym from time to time. i also could feel my food cravings back off a little.
week 3 i weighed in at 261, not a huge loss but still progress. people still gave me their 2 cents about my diet, even the cafeteria lady started calling me the ';meat guy';
she'd say ';hey all this guy eats is meat...haha'; it started to really piss me off. i decided to step it up a little in the gym this week. i wanted to drop at least 5 pounds. i rode the ski machine for 2 hours and did my regular weight training. that nurse saw me ride the machine for 2 hours, and said ';hey you better take it easy'; inside i was thinking ';youd better shut the hell up'; in spite of what he said i exercised 4 hours on saturday and sunday.
week 4 i weighed in at 252!! 9 pounds HAHA. some people started to notice i was losing but it was still hard to tell with my scrubs and all. this week i decided i was getting tired of peoples' comments about me being on the atkins diet. i decided to reduce my portion sizes and exercise more. i rode the ski machine along with my weight training for total of 4 hours monday thru saturday. i took sunday off. i ate only 3 cans of tuna and 1 cup of lettuce a day. the whole time im thinking ro myself ';doughboy huh?'; i was starting to make these people eat their words. i figured all this exercise, id lose another 10 lbs easily.
well i weighed in at 239. i lost 13lbs last week!! by now my boss and a lot of other people started to notice. i had to wear smaller scrubs now. people would ask me what i was doing to lose weight. one time the guy who had the bypass(my boss)was in the breakroom and he said ';wow are you eating?.....howd you lose all that weight?';and i said '; yeah im eating, but all you have to do to lose weight, is burn off more calories than you take in!!'; i said it real sarcastic, haha. he walked off somewhere. i decided i wanted to lose so much weight so fast it would just be sickening. i kept with my diet and excercise regimen.
week 6 i lost another ten pounds!! by this time none of my clothes were fitting. at 229 i didnt look fat any more. haha, people were starting to talk alot less, 50lbs lost in just over a month, i wonder why. it was like 20 questions at lunchtime. i started to eat a little more since i figured 50lbs was a little extreme. so they all scrutinized my plate to see what was on it every day. it got pretty annoying so i started eating alone. one day someone decided to congradulate the anesthesia nurse on his progress in front of me, i just laughed and walked off.
some of the women staff were getting pretty emotional when they saw me. they werent use to seeing me this thin. they were probably thinking ';how does this fatass drop 50lbs in a month when ive been struggling with my weight for years?'; so i figured it would be good to make them sickly jealous and lose another 20 lbs. i was thinking';i want these women to be so jealous, they wont be able to stand the sight of me';
by week 9 i was well under 200. this was the thinnest id been since high school. im 30 now. by this time you couldnt deny that i completely transformed my body shape in a little over 2 months. no one was saying **** about the atkins diet!! even the guy that had the bypass was on it!! one day i went to set up instruments for a knee replacement surgery and the girl that wasnt fond of the atkins diet was there. she was in the operating room for a minute or two. and then she just started crying and ran out of the room after i said hi to her.........hahah!!! man i made her really eat her words didnt i?
hahaha!!
during this time i realized im one sick mofo!!
more than half my motivation to lose weight was to make my co workers feel terrible, and it made me feel really good.
well ive managed to keep the weight off, but the holidays are coming up so i might put on a few pounds.........but at least i KNOW how i can get the weight off!!
haha
