Eating plan (need thin people's advice)
Posted Monday May 21 2007, 3:27 pm
I'm a teenage girl who needs to lose about 20 pounds to be healthy- and I'm working on that now. My problem is- I'll go 2 days with having only 1200 calories... and then the next day i'll feel so deprived and try to only have a little bit of an indulgence (i.e half a cup of ice cream) only i'll just eat liek 4 cups without being able to stop.
I have dance classes 3 days a week- and the other days I try to work out (ill do 20 mins treadmill/20 elliptical/20 stairclimber+random conditioning) so i guess i'm pretty active? but I have a crappy metabolism apparently because i'm still "overweight". I'm an hourglass though so i look fine. I'm 5'2 1/4" and 156 lbs.
So I want to know how many calories I sh...

can someone give me a comparison on how much one ounce weighs? or how big it is? because i look on the side of like bread and the nutritional values of certain things like potato salad and stuff like that and it says the serving size is, for example, 4 ounces but i dont know how much that is? any comparison will be good..how many spoonfuls, how many tablespoons/teaspoons, compared to an object..thanks!

i am 5'7 and my weight fluxuates from 124-128. i haven't gone above 130 in a few months because i watch what i eat. would you be able to tell me what my ideal caloric intake should be? and what exercises you think i should do each day to keep me at this weight? my abs are really toned because i do ab workouts all the time, so i'm pretty set with that. and recently i find myself snacking a bit more than i used to, could you tell me some ways to fight my cravings and some substitutes? it's usually things like fig newtons (even though they're the low-fat kind and i only eat a few, they're probably not hte best thing to snack on.)
thank you!

Vacations+weight gain?
Posted Sunday May 20 2007, 11:21 am
I'm going to a resort im 2 weeks- but I'm on a strict diet (i stay between 1200-1700 cals a day) And I always gain weight when I go on vacations. I want to be able to enjoy the food there- but I also don't want to gain weight.
I'm going to keep exercising there in the fitness room- but I just don't know what to do about the food.
any suggestions appreciated.

Starvation mode?
Posted Sunday May 20 2007, 11:17 am
So i've been on strict caloric restrictions (for weight loss purposes) for about 3 months now... And recently after a period of doing really badly (going above 2000) I returned to 1200. Now I never feel hungry- even if I don't eat anything it's like my stomach has something in it all the time that I didn't put in there. And I'm concerned that this might be starvation mode.
How can I tell if I'm in it or not?
thanks

Well one time I was wokring on my project so hard that I skipped lunch. The day after, I wasn't even hungry at lunch time anymore and no matter how hard I try to eat, my tummy won't let me.
I just don't feel hungry anymore, i feel so full all the time and now it takes me an hour to eat my dinner.

help eating better?
Posted Thursday May 17 2007, 10:11 pm
today i ate
breakfast - 2 eggs and a heart healthy cereal with skim milk (and a multivitamin)
lunch - an apple, a handful or 2 of baby carrots, and a pack of 4 little peanut butter cracker sandwich things with water
dinner - a chicken cutlet and half a baked potato, and a spinach salad with milk
so i thought that was good for being healthier right? is it or am i missing a lot?
also the problem is after dinner i feel hungry still for a while, but i dont have any specific craving, i just want food. i dont actually feel HUNGRY though. what can i eat to fill me up but not be too many calories or anything?
thanks

pop vs. juice
Posted Wednesday May 16 2007, 7:48 pm
i'm a little confused. i know that soda isn't good for you, but what's so bad about diet soda? is it because of all of the chemicals in it? so if i were to drink a 'fruit' juice tropicana peach papaya or something, that's around 250 calories in a bottle. i basically consider that sugar water since there's not too much real fruit juice in it, and out of the ingredients the first few are sugar. so, what i'm asking- which is worse to drink .. the artificial fruit juice, or diet soda. i know that it's okay to drink them both every one in awhile, but i'm asking what's just plain old WORSE for you.
and why is diet soda so bad?

1 Beer?
Posted Monday May 14 2007, 9:59 pm
Not too long ago, I got really, really, really piss ass drunk. I don't remember what ahppened but I got alcohol poisoning. The next morning, my entire body went numb and I started shaking and I couldn't eat or drink water or else i would puke. I'm fine now though. Anyways, my point is that I drank way too much and I havne't drank since then, till now
Now, I just had a beer and I have a headache and my face feels like it's about to come off. I'm not drunk though. however, 1 beer isn't anything for me, i couldn't even get tipy off of one beer when i was 12. I was wondering why I would feel like this now and whether my previous experience from a few weeks ago had anything to do with what i'm feeling now.

well my friend wants to lose weight and she asked me to help her. like pick foods & exercise and stuff because she doesnt really know what to do. if i were to do it myself, it would be easy but i don't really know how to help someone else. like, idk their health patterns, you know? so i was wondering if someone could give me some general tips to tell her because i don't really know where to start.
thanks <3
