I want to lose 50 pounds by the end of summer. Does anybody know a good diet plan?
Question:
Answers:
Dieting sucks. Changing eating habits works. A few tips that have worked for me:
1. Eat slowly. It takes up to 20 minutes for your brain to register that your tummy is full. If you eat slowly you'll give your brain more time to tell you what your stomach really needs.
2. Eat fresh. Load up on vegetables and cut down your meat. The fiber will make you feel fuller longer, too. Dress up your veggies with shedded cheese, roasted nuts, stuff like that. Eat out seldom. Their portions are huge and not healthy. As much as you can, fix your own food and avoid pre-packaged meals.
3. Drink a lot of water. It aids in digestion and keeps you feeling fuller, longer. Especially drink a glass of water about 1/2 hr. before dinner. You'll feel like eating less.
4. Eat a lot of soup. This will get you vegetables and water, fill you up, and it will do it with very few calories. They can be very easy to make, too.
5. Don't deny yourself things you really like. Denying yourself of one thing entirely will drive you nuts until you lose control and binge. Instead, allow yourself some of your favorite foods regularly, and portion them out. For example, my husband has a problem with ice cream. His habit is to sit in front of the TV with a pint of Ben and Jerry's and a spoon. Without even thinking, he can polish the whole thing off. It's better to portion it out in advance, enjoy a reasonable about, and stop when your plate is clean.
6. Walk whenever you can. Walking burns just as many calories per mile as running (running just gets it done faster) and is a lot easier and less sweaty to do. A 150 lb person burns about 120 cal/mile. You'll burn more or less, depending on your weight.
7. DO NOT drink your calories. That means not only soda, but fruit juice and coffee drinks, as well. They have HUGE amounts of calories and they don't satisfy you like a meal. Avoid Jamba Juice like the plague. Snapple is your enemy. And if you really need a latte, please don't get any of those syrup shots.
Remember- 1 lb of fat = 3500 calories. You could run an entire marathon and only lose a single pound! Don't expect it to be fast or easy. It's hard to lose weight, and only people who've never tried to lose don't believe that. Any diet that claims to make you lose weight faster is unrealistic and unsustainable. Numbers don't lie. But if you take my advice it'll come off nice and steady, absolutely. Good luck!

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. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. 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 protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none 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 county 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. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
This is a weight loss solution I started using about 5 years ago with my clients. Is has helped people lose about 25-30 lbs in a month. It helped one guy lose 28 lbs in 29 days and he won a $500 bet.
This is a quick weight loss solution, meaning, temporary. You may possibly gain all of it back, or more. This is a very extreme way to do it but its been effective for a short term solution (4-6 weeks maximum).
In order to get the body to release fat, you have to understand some realities.
The human body is not really capable of shedding more than 2 pounds of fat in a week, especially on an ongoing basis, and even 2 pounds per week would be an extreme!
The human body is capable of losing far more than 2 pounds in a week, but that would indicate loss of either muscle or water.
Muscle loss is guaranteed to decrease caloric burn and slow metabolism.
Water loss is temporary.
1st Part is Diet adjustment - lean proteins, complete proteins, protein shakes(drinks), and leafy green vegetable or other type of vegetable meals. Chicken, Fish, and Turkey are your proteins, none of them fried, broiled, or microwaved. Vegetable meals include salads, or meals with all veggies.
No white potatoes, no white flour, no white sugar, no grains at all, unless they are whole grains such as protein rich brown rice. No artificial sweetners (Splenda, Aspartame), no heavily processed food meals, you want to turn your body into a machine that burns up the fuel (food you eat) quickly. You dont want any excess calories from anything so you eat or drink and no diet drinks because those are more detrimental to metabolism because of how the body elimanates the chemicals they contain.
Drink nothing but water, maybe a little juice but preferably vegetable, cranberry or grapefruit those help to flush the kidneys and curb your appetite, in the early part of the day, and herbal tea(such as green tea), and I say again NO diet drinks.
