Does Anyone Have Any Good Suggestions For Diet Plans?
I currently started working out 4-5 times a week. I wouldn’t say that I am a “fat” person. I just have the fat that covers the muscle that I want to get rid of. I want to get on a better diet plan but I am always so lost on what I should be eating to help in burning fat. I am not a fan of all carb, or all this or that diets etc. I just want something simple, but not something where I have to completely cut something out of my diet. Anyone have any suggestions?
My friend went to a dietian and this is what she told her to do:
For breakfast have fruits and yogurt or healthy cereal like Special K or Shredded Wheat (try not adding sugar either)
Eat a salad for two meals a day for a week. You can add things like turkey and small amounts of egg and cheese if you want but try and stay away from any acidic dressing (like vinegar).
For snacks eat fruits and veggies or a snack bar; the ones she found most similar to the ones her doc gave her were South Beach Diet Bars and they were a lot cheaper than she was paying for the other ones!
Stay away from caffeine, sugar (if you must have sugar use brown sugar), no sweets (if you must have sweets have dark chocolate), bleached flour (have whole wheat as a substitute; wheat pasta (small amounts) and wheat flour) and very little red meat (try only having it once or twice a week WITH your meal not AS a meal).
This is straight from the dietians mouth and she lost 10lbs the first week. So it does work, promise!!
WEIGHT WATCHERS! The most recommended diet among doctors. I have been on it and I have lost to date 31 lbs. I do not try that hard, I just am conscious of what I am putting into my mouth and I count it.
I too have a body where I have a beautiful shape, very muscular but is was semi-covered with fat. Just losing 30 lbs made all the difference. Give it a try.
1250-1500 calories a day
cardio of 45 mins 4-5 times a week same machine
strenght training 2-3 times a week, lower weight more reps, like 3 sets of 20
Definitely go to http://www.weightwatchers.com and find a weight watchers meeting and sign up for it. You have to pay for the diet plan and meetings and everything but it is sooo worth it and it’s definitely what you would want. You don’t have to cut fast food out of your diet, or chocolate. You eat anything you want and usually lose A LOT of weight. So check it out!
all tou need to do is watch your coloric in take. start walking and get your cardio up.
Eat less of everything. I would say to eat half of everything you eat right now.
I guess you are already at my level bmi wise or maybe even better..but if not this is what has worked for me in the last 2~3 months ..
Eating the right stuff is important, but when you have it and how much is too.
I used to have a heavy dinner .. stopped .. essentially I have a heavy breakfast now.. fruits.. eggs (if >1 remove the yellow in all but the first one) .. also have more snacks than I used to but small portions and healthy ones.. snack bars with less sugar.. and very light dinner .. for dinner more liquid than solid.. and keep at least 3 hrs gap between when you eat and sleep. I conciously have less sugar, less rice/bread (staple food) and more of the other stuff..meats..pref poultry and fish.. grilled rather than fried.. Its not just abt losing wt but building up ur core strentgh and resistance..and losing wt is a Very usefull side-effect..I lost 20 lbs in less than a month just by fixing my diet..but then I got to a pt where I had to start working out to lose the extra fat that was left.. this is more difficult and slower… basically cardio 4~5 times a week and strength training at least 3 times.. and try to target the areas where you want to lose fat..
