i absolutley LOVE food. i'm 16 and i weigh about 119 pounds. all of the food in my house is basically low fat or lean..but i constantly eat. i'm always hungry and i guess that means i have a high metabolism. but sometimes, i feel like i eat to much and i can't stop. then i pretty much feel fat for the rest of the day and it really affects me because i don't feel like leaving the house. i would really like to lose a few pounds and tone up some more..and i need to know how to stop these eating cravings.
i also run 3 miles every night, uphill bike about 3 miles, go on an elliptical for 15 minutes, some arm curls, and different ab exercises. i've been on this regimen for a few weeks and i think i need a change because i noticed a difference in my body, but now it's kind of staying the same...and i still need to tone up my lower abdomen, and upper thighs.
so basically i'm asking how to stop the urges to eat, some snacks that will keep me full for a long time, some different exercise plans, or some examples of a good food diary for someone looking to lose a few pounds.
thanks
Carbs before your work out and protein afterwards should help. You stated you exercise, therefore your body is wanting to refuel itself. If you are the athletic type then you are going to crave food. Just be mindful of the things you put into your body. Sounds like you are on the right track already. You are probably staying the same because of your exercise routine. Your eating habits have compensated for the loss of energy. Once your work out has stopped working, increase the load. Although I've haven't worked out in awhile I know what I am talking about. I used to run 5 miles everyday and do 1000 crunches a day, of course that was when I was in the service. [ ChevyIINova's advice column | Ask ChevyIINova A Question ]
