It's fine.Ask me a question. I like giving advice. If you don't like the advice I give, or the opinion I have, it's fine.
Sometimes you can't get through to people no matter how long and hard you try.
advice
I'm going to get straight to the point!
I can't stick with a diet..
this last time has been my best attempt.
But I cant seem to tell a difference.
Now, starting off I'm going to be dedicated.
No sweets, what so ever.
So heres my plans.
& the question is, what other activities can I do, or foods I can eat, or Remedys, that will help me lose weight.
My Plans:
Drinking nothing but water.[plain water]
Not eating past 6; [my mom usually dont get home from work until 7 or 8 so I'll have to fix my own food.
When I do eat after six, nothing but fruits & veggies.
My PLANS [activity wise]:
Running/Jogging/walking..whatever my mood is.
Running-1 mile.
Jogging Mile & 1/2
Walking 2 miles.
Anything else?
Eating nothing but fruits and vegetables isn't exactly good for you. It isn't completely bad obviously, but what you need is a balance...not cutting out other foods. Moderation really is the key. Everything's good for you...in moderation. Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed.
Here's a cool website that lets you make your own 'pyramid plan' for your unique weight/height/BMI:
http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx
As for exercise, start out easy and work your way up to it. Don't run five miles a day starting tomorrow if you've never run before. Try jogging for say, fifteen to twenty minutes four times a week. Each week, bump that number up. Pretty soon, you'll be able to run long distances and see a noticeable change. The last thing you'd want is to burn out.
The rule is you shouldn't eat three hours before you go to bed. That's because your body doesn't digest well while you're sleeping, so the food just sort of sits there. At least, that's what my health teacher told us.
You should drink other things besides just plain water. For instance milk. You have to drink milk. I know there's that rumor out there that it makes you fat...but it does build strong bones and you can't just go without it. But yes, water is extremely good for you. You should drink eight glasses a day. But please remember to drink milk too. (Unless of course you are lactose intolerant)
Anyways, good luck with losing weight. Remember just to keep your motivation if you have issues sticking to it. And don't beat yourself up if you don't lose weight fast enough for your standards, because that will make you less apt to stick to it. Trust me. Also, after doing something repeatedly for three weeks in a row, it becomes a habit. So if you were to run three weeks in a row, or fix dinner for yourself three weeks in a row...it'd become a habit so it'd be much much much easier to stay with.
Good luck!
