Diet/eating Plan Or Slimming/diet Pills ?
i am overweight and have reached the point where enough is enough . i have mobility problems after breaking my back some years ago , so exersise causes pain . this lack of mobility , combined with overeating the wrong foods , and an added medical condition ( pcos & hyperinsulinism ) which makes you put on weight , means i am fat .
i love food and have little will power , so would like to know what really does work out there , diet/eating plan or slimming/diet pills ?
Set a goal and stick to it and you can’t go wrong.
I would recommend 3 balanced meals a day each adding up to 500 calories.
Very light excercise even if it’s just walking around.
Good Luck!!
Forget the pills. They don’t work,a nd beside they might interact with your meds that your take for your medical condition, or they might complicate it. A good diet is what you need, combined with a good exercise program. I know you said exercise increases your back pain, but you might be able to find some exercise that you can do with little or no increases in symptoms, like a stationary bike, or even better aquatic exercise. If you decrease your weight it will most like take some of the stress off of you back and help to decrease your back symptoms. Also you might want to have your doctor refer you to physical therapy, so that your physical therapist can come up with an increase program that will help to decrease you back pain (and also help to lose some weight as well). I’m a physical therapist and I have had many back patients tell me that they’ve lost weight as a result of doing their exercises on a daily basis. Good luck!
This works:
Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta’s, rice, cereals etc.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out softdrinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you’ll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. (Available from supermarkets).
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals.
The best solution for you would be a diet designed personally for you. Check http://www.wellness-diet4me.co.uk
It works!!!
I will say this again, for the thousandth time today. There is only ONE real way to do this.
Eat healthy, and excercise!!!
The reccomended healthy eating plan (by nurses and nutritionists, not magazine ‘diet’ tips) is roughly four or five small to medium meals a day, including breakfast.
Apart from breakfast, make sure each meal contains some protien (chicken, fish, etc), carbohydrates (spuds, pasta, rice, etc) and vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (fresh fruit and veg). As long as you have a little of each on your plate you’ll be fine. Just save one day a week for a treat day, (pizza, takeaway, etc) and this will save you craving this food and breaking your healthy eating plan, and also give you a much earned treat.
Second of all is excercise.
The only way to lose any body fat is cardio excercise. This will not only decrease your resting heart rate, get your heart pumping more efficiently and increase your lung function, it will also burn off the calories.
Aim to be running a mile and a half in between 10 and 15 minutes, or jogging lightly for half an hour. Swimming, cycling and x training are also excellent, as are aerobic classes if you enjoy the group thing.
You need to weight train too, not to look like arnie, but to get a healthy body. You don’t need to ‘bulk up’; ‘Toning up’ muscle is different from this, and this will involve some light weight training and free training (push ups, sit ups, etc.). And you want to tone up your whole body to get an ‘even’ spread.
Basically there are two basic rules when weight training. Use heavy weight with few reps to build bulk and strength, and light weights with lots of reps to ‘tone’ up. Use light dumbells on the major upper areas (chest, shoulders, arms) and machines for your back and legs.
This will not only tone and define your muscles, but will also raise your metabolism, which will help you burn more cals anyway.
And as for your mobility problems and pain, excercise will HELP with these, you will have to work hard, yes. But it will be worth it!!!!!!! Excercise will INCREASE your mobility!!!
Always diet, miraculous pills don’t exist.
