what you do, is pretty much cut out as much junk and fatty foods as possible.
foods such as:
- whole milk
- icecream
- cookies
- french fries
- cheese
- cake
- friend foods in general
- doritos
- red meat
- etc.
instead of those foods try:
- airpopped popcorn
- pretzals
- fruits (wholes such as apples are good)
- WATER WATER WATER
- chicken (no bigger than the size of your hand)
try nonfat or lowfat versions of:
- 1% or skim milk
- yogurt
- pudding
- pretty much anything that says "non" or "low" fat.
avoid foods that contain:
- carboned liquids (such as soda)
- high froctus corn syrup (its in a lot of cereal, candy, chips, ect)
- hydrenated oils (sp?)
mix and match those foods together. Eat at least 1200-1400 calories per day.
that part was probably a tad bit confusing, but here comes even more fun.
you need to work out AT LEAST 5x per week for an hour.
excersises include:
- swimming
- walking
- running
- jogging
- biking
- skating
- anything that gets your heart pumping!
lift weights for around 20 minutes after. start of by lifting 5-8lbs though. you don't want to start off with heavy weights, because that will just build muscle, and that will just store under your fat and result in more weight gain. start off with a can of beans or something if you don't have weight lifting equipment. do a warm up every morning and night. along with 20-30 crunches.
i was told by doing this for two weeks, you will loose 10lbs in two weeks. and since your heavier, you might loose more than that.
well, congratulations. you are one step closer to a better you!
