What food can I eat a lot of and still lose weight?
Question:
Answers:
To maintain a healthy lifestyle & get back to the size you want to be try this:
Try making small changes, if you really love a certain food that is ok, just cut down your portions, you don't need to deprive yourself to be healthy. I myself am a huge "grazer" I eat a lot of fruit & veggies as snacks, baby carrots, snap peas, grape tomatoes, grapes, berries, peaches. I also love the Flat Earth veggie chips, quaker ranch rice cakes, popcorn, whole grain crackers & string cheese. These are all small snacks with low fat & low calories.
As for your overall diet try to cut down on your calories, eat lean protein, and whole grains - bread is not bad, so long as it is whole grain & high in fiber, also eat your veggies & drink lots of water. It is best to eat 1200-1500 calories per day, if you eat less than this your metabilism will slow down, making it harder to lose weight. NO fast food, no soft drinks (diet or regular) no eating unless you are hungery.
That being said, never underestimate the power of a good workout routine. Lots of Cardio & weight training. do 30-45 minutes of strength training 3-4 times per week followed by 45-50 minutes of cardio 5-6 times per week. do your strength training 1st, it burns more calories. I also do loads of crunches prior to & after cardio. Also walk more during the day. Take a walk on your lunch break, walk to the store, aim for 10,000 steps per day a pedomiter is a great idea. The more active you are the more calories you will burn & the more weight you will lose.
To stay healthy & not get discouraged remember this:
It is not recommended that you lose more than 2-3 pounds per week. Rapid weight loss can be dangerous & is hard to maintain. losing weight is difficult because 1 lb is 3000 calories, so you must burn 3000 calories per pound you want to lose.
if you really want to lose the weight you are going to have to use dicipline & work hard. your health is worth it!
lettuce and most other veggies and pickles.. and most kinds of fruit. if youre looking for snack food unbuttered popcorn (check the package)
fruits and veggies
You should munch on celery. It has fiber, and you burn more calories chewing than you are taking in, with celery.
lettuce it only has 54 calories in a head
That's simple - Veggies ^_^.
Pretty much all fruits/vegetables. Pickels, celery, cantaloupe, are especially good ones. Non-fat jello, salsa, saltine crackers, are also pretty good.
You can eat all of the vegetables you want and not gain weight (except for potatoes of course)
Your habit of munching on stuff needs to be addressed.
They make an organic whole grain cracker called MARY'S GONE CRACKERS and it serves me well for the munching.
Here are some good ideas:
Losing weight:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
Tone up the muscles:
1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike.
5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6. Join the local YMCA..
Mental Health:
1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
3. Learn how to meditate.
4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
Cut up some fresh fruits and veggies. They are low on calories and high in all the good stuff you need.
You can't beat raw veggies for a snack. Celery, carrots, broccoli, peppers, cucumber, etc
umm...I am not that sure. Just watch what you eat and look at the labels and the fat and satruated fat. Try fruit. Fruit is healthy and barely has any calories. You could also try those 100 calorie packs. Those are good I have heard.
Fruits except banana
Green vegetables...
I lost a few pounds on taking these 2 for a week...
Hope it works for u too...
veggies and fruita =]
Cantaloupe, cucumber, celery, and watermelon.
Good luck!
Fruit would be good, altho nothing ever works as good as chocolate. I recently did a 3 day diet where you lose 10 pounds in 3 days, not bad food, it wasn't difficult to do and it changed the way i ate and i carried on losing weight for a few weeks till i started back at the munching in the evening so i am going to do it every 2 months or so to keep the weight off and stop me munching on rubbish. If your interested in the diet look at http://www.geocities.com/momandad.geo/di...
turn your speakers down before you go on to the website it has awful loud music.
Just eat only complex carbs, lean meat, and lots of veggies. It will make your meals low caloried and yet filling and healthy.
Cut your soda and juices. Learn to drink Chinese tea, they can help you lose weight. http://lclfhfhpchinesetea.blogspot.com...
Do brisk walking. They are great for burning body and tummy fats.
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for more than a year.
Details such as my experience, types of foods and veggies to eat, healthy low fat snacks, meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.
