Ask me anything and I can do what I can!
advice
(please no lectures about what foods in this list you think i should or shouldn't be eating, i'm going to eat what i like, i just want to do it in the right moderation for a maintainable weight).
If I stay at or below 1500 calories a day and I work out for about 10-20 min a day 4-5 days a week (doing things like aerobics, belly dancing, yoga, running) will i lose a natural flow of weight?
(to give you an idea of what i will eat...i have some health shakes (160 calories per serving) that are like ensure where you can drink them when you are busy or to replace a meal but they have a meal supply of nutrients- 2 of those, a grilled chicken sandwich with no sauce at 400 calories, 2 ice cream sandwich bars that are 100 calories each, and a pack and a 1/2 of ramen at about 300 calories and i usually drink water but let's go ahead and add in 3- 8oz glasses of arizona iced tea at 90 calories per serving...1490 calories for the day.
i just want something regular that i can enjoy and keep up with. that is what i am doing right now. I just haven't made it totally regular yet.
Even though you have around only 1500 calories, a lot of those calories are empty calories or bad ones.
Top ramen is really bad for you because there's a lot of salt in it, salt makes your body retain water and then you get bloated so you look bigger.
For drinks, you can cut down a lot of calories if you only drink water.
Also, two ice cream sandwich bars aren't good for you and are filled with a lot of fat, even though there only 100 calories they're the bad kinds of calories, so maybe you can find other healthier things to replace these with, like fruits, vegetables, almonds, a sandwich, or granola bar. Those are just some healthy alternatives.
www.sparkteens.com is a really good website for managing your calorie intake vs calorie out take, how much water you drink, and a lot more.
Hope I helped :)
(Rating: 5) haha thanks! I know, I was on a budget, so haha sometimes ramen is all i could get. I like ice cream too so i want to keep it in my life but just not as much. yeah the more money i get the more i invest in better things, and i eat a lot of healthy stuff like granola cereal and soy milk and wheat noodles when i make pasta. thanks :)
