do you have diabetes? how much do you weigh? your height? whats your current "diet"?
Take it from experience, I've tried everything on the market, Hydroxycut, Envy, even the New Alli pill that was approved by the FDA and nothing. Finally a friend of mine had joined weight watchers and in two months she dropped 32lbs. I have been enrolled in it for about three weeks and I have lost 11lbs. They put you on a point system that is matched with your age, height, weight and level of activity. Honestly, no bullsh**, you should try it out. Good Luck!!
PS. They have great food, you don't have to stoip eating what you like, you just have to stay within your daily points and exercise at least 30mins. a day.
The key to success with any diet is losing it slowly. Most people put it all back on when they lose it quickly. Lose it slowly, learn to eat healthy... keep it off. A couple of pounds a weeks really isn't unreasonable, or necessarilly fast. So slow is the way to go to be successful. Just pay attention to what you are eating. Whole grains, no white potatoes, chips, junk food, and lean meats, and small portions. Exercise at least 4 times a week (cardio and weights), and drink lots of water. Water is important. The formula for how much we should drink is half your body weight in ounces (150 lbs = 75 ounces). Carbs within reason (a serving a day, then 2 later into the process). That goes for fruit (high carbs) as well... everything in moderation.
I have a diet that will let you lose up to 5 lbs a week.
It works extremely well, but you REALLY have to follow it.
You can't snack or cheat during the day, because the foods that you eat and in the order that you eat them, makes the diet work. (It also helps if you have a scale at home.)
Breakfast: 2 fruits and 1 starch
Snack: Non fat milk snack. (Like yogurt)
Lunch: 2 veggies, 1 protein, 1 starch, 1 fruit
Snack: Something natural, almonds, peanuts (UNSALTED!)
Dinner: 2 veggies, 1 protein
Eat 4 hours before bed
No salt
No white sugar!!
You can have a cheat once a week so you don't go crazy.
Do this for 2 weeks and start adding 1 starch for dinner, then veggies or fruit as appropriate.
I lost 20 lbs in about a month and a half and my dad lost over 35 lbs. It really worked for both of us. (I'm 16 by the way. So if you're my age, you can definately do it!)
fi yoru exerciseing the fat maybe converting into muscle
and muscle weighs more than fat
so you gain weight but lose fat
start going to the gym and join weight watchers
20 Ways to Lose Weight
1. Take it one step at a time
Start by paying attention to what you eat. Cut back on fat and sweets and add more fruit and vegetables. After you have that under control, add exercise. If you hate to exercise try it for only 15 minutes a day at first, then a 1/2-hour. Keep in mind that while you are exercising you are burning calories and not eating. Also, it will be easier if you chose an activity that you enjoy.
2. Find a friend
It is always good to have support when you are trying to lose weight. Find a friend who wants to lose weight and compare notes, weigh-in together and maybe even have a contest.
3. Use weights
Working out weights will build muscle and raise your metabolism so you will burn more calories. Also, muscle takes up less space than fat so you will be smaller ( but probably weigh more).
4. Eat fewer carbs
Don't eat as much bread and pasta and you will see a difference.
5. Set a goal
Set a deadline to lose the weight and write it down. For example, ' By Dec 14/04 I will weigh 150 lbs or less'. Put it somewhere you will see it daily.
6. Give up soda
If you drink a soda or 2 a day you are adding empty calories. If you find it hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead.
7. Grill or boil
Avoid fried meat, grill and use lots of spices. You will get used to it and probably enjoy it more.
8. Don't buy junk food
When you go shopping, don't go on an empty stomach and you will be less likely to buy junk food. Keep your home 'junk food free' so you won't be tempted to indulge.
9. Eat breakfast
Consume most of your calories early in the day and always eat breakfast. Don't eat after 8pm and not only will you avoid those added calories but you will sleep better.
10. Give yourself a treat
When you tell yourself that you can't have something you want it more. Give yourself a treat once a day ( ie. half a cookie) and you won't feel you are missing out.
11. Use smaller plates
Trick yourself into believing that you are eating more by using a smaller plate.
12. Drink lots of water
Drink water when you are feeling hungry and you will get that 'full' feeling.
13. Don't eat everything on your plate
Many times we eat just because it's there. Pay attention to when you have had enough.
14. Eat five or six meals a day
Eating more frequently will keep you from getting too hungry.
15. Plan your workout sessions
Write your workout sessions in your journal or planner.
16. Stay away from fad diets
Fad diets don't work. If you lose weight fast chances are that you will gain it back ( and more) just as fast. It takes time to put it on and time to take it off.
17. Do several workouts a day
While you are watching TV do crunches and leg lifts.
18. Measure your food
If you decide to have junk food for a snack - be sure to measure and control what you eat.
19. Keep pre-cut vegetables
...and ward off those cravings.
20. Create Good Habits
It is a known fact that when we do something twenty-one times it becomes a habit. Create good eating habits.
