i recently gained about 10-15 pounds. i started a diet 06/23
i restrict my calorie intake to 1,000 or lower. usually lower.

and i walk A LOT,and if i havnt walked a lot that day ill do the treadmill for 35-40 min. i also do at least 5o crunches a night, every night.

If you want long-term results you have to change your lifestyle.

---

Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.

My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.

I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

When people write and ask about diet and diet plans if they, like you, are looking to loose a significant amount of weight. I always suggest doing a weight loss program the right way. Your 1000 calorie diet plan is the wrong way. It not only may do you harm but it is not a way to diet and be successful at keeping the weight you lose off.


A successful diet plan starts with a visit to your doctor for a physical and to find out from your doctor what you optimum weight range should be for your height, body frame and age. With this knowledge you can then seek the advice of a nutritionist to help with meal planning that will allow you to loose weight properly then maintain that weight loss. Proper exercise is also important and while most people do not need advise of a personal trainer, for the amount of weight you wish to loose. It never hurts to seek advise on how to properly exercise.

On a proper diet you can expect to loose 3 pounds a week. This allows your body to properly adjust to weight loss and to a lower caloric intake to maintain the weight loss. Fad diets do not allow for this and place a strain on your body. Diet properly and you will not only lose the weight you want; you have a better chance of keeping the weight off.

First off, do not ever do a starvation diet. You are depriving your body from much needed nutrients. Second off, this plan of yours will work, yes. But you will gain the weight back. Do it right. 1,000 cals or less will not be good for your body. At least take in 1500-2000. Then do some running and walking. Also get involved in sports and do weight lifting. (that will tone you) Do ab work outs. But only as much sets and reps as you can do. Try to add 1 rep per set every day til you can not any more. This will get you in shape in no time. Follow the food pyramid and do not eat sweets/junk!1!! Hope I helped xoxoxox
