why do i gain and not lose?
Question:
Answers:
You might want to make sure you're not consuming too many calories. It's good that ur being careful about how many carbs you take in, but if you a shitload of other stuff the calories will add up. So I would advise you to keep track of how many calories ur consuming..and another thing..are you getting enough sleep? Sometimes sleep can affect weight loss.you're body needs enough hours of sleep to restore itself.

Stop lying, the only thing that makes you fat is what you eat..put the choclate down that you eat in bed while watching tv.
You have a weight problem. yea, i said this once
The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas. Even though diet sodas have no fat or calories, look at the sugars and sodium levels in them. Best to avoid them all together.
Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.
In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)
Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.
Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)
Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition.
Are you REALLY keeping track of how much you're eating? A calorie is a calorie..if you're taking in too many, it's gonna add up. plain water it really does help even if it's diet pepsi or cola don't drink it drink water instead
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if your trying to lose weight, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity.
