Question Posted Tuesday September 18 2007, 7:18 pm
Ok before I lost 40 pounds eating healthy choice and smart ones meals. Well I have gained it all back and I wanna lose weight again but dont feel the meal plan will work for me. I really love food and I don't know what to do does anyone have any ideas? I need to lose about 50-60 pounds.

A lot of people will tell you that you have to cut our junk food, but that's not true. All you have to do is watch your calorie intake. You can still eat the foods you love just a smaller proportion of it. For example: instead of getting a cheese pizza with thick crust get a thin adn crispy pizza. It's that many less calories. Also, try and substitute white breads for whole grain because even though it is a little higher in calories. It will fill you up, so you wont eat as much. Buy whole grain pasta and mac and cheese. You dont taste a difference at all. As for deserts, by perfectly proportioned bags of cookies or buy those cups of icecream for one serving. Just be sure to calculate your calories and try not to go over 1500 a day maybe more or less depending on your height and let me fill you in on a little secret, you dont have to excercize to lose weight. I lost over 30 lbs doing absolutely no excercise and I have abs and everything. You can just eat more if you excercise, but Im one of those people who would rather eat less and not excercise. hahah

Get all of your recommended servings every day and set a calorie limit for yourself. The reason you gained all of the weight back from the healthy choice and smart ones is because they're are compromised mostly of sodium which will help with weight loss temporarily. You can still eat those meals but make sure you do exercise with it...thats the only way that the weight is going to stay off. Exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 45 minutes-1 hour. It's the real key to losing the weight that you want. [ superstarblue89's advice column | Ask superstarblue89 A Question ]
