Diet Discovery

I am 5’2 and 153 pounds.
Before my first child I weighed 100 pounds and after I weighed 137 pounds and was able to shed off the weight to 113 pounds, which was before my second child. Now after my second child I weigh 153 pounds and can’t seem to shed off the pounds. I am wondering what would be the best way that would actually work to lose weight. I tried insanity with healthy eating but I didn’t see any difference and in fact my legs had just looked bigger with muscle. I do not want to look muscular or too toned. Just look like a healthy weight. I miss my body terribly, and my 2nd child is already going to be 4 months old. It took 6 months with my first to lose the 24 pounds, so I know it is definitely possible. If you have any suggestions on what I could do to lose the weight it would be greatly appreciated. I am currently eating healthy and I am also a vegetarian.

run every day for one hour and dont eat sugars or starches. Starches are like bread pasta and stuff and only eat protien through out the day drink alot of water and take some green tea pills that i guarantee u will make you lose like 50 lbs in two months my friend did this he looked like shit everyday through the program but hey it worked he went from being 230 lbs to 150 lbs in like two months. Insane people i would say but hey u want a crzy diet

My diet is inconsistent and i have a very hard time keeping my sweet tooth cravings under control.

I’ve been where you are. Its tough to stick to diet/eating healthy. For me, I found that I do better when I am on a structured program. Unfortunately most of these you pay to join, its good and bad though, because when you pay for something you will stick to it because you don’t want to have wasted your money. Anyways, the diet I like is called Medifast. You’ve probably heard of it, its pretty popular. I have some of their coupons on my blog if you wanna check it out.

I have 2 jobs so I don’t have time to exercise. I cook my own breakfast, lunch, and dinner so dieting isn’t a problem. My 2 jobs are easy (desk) so I can’t count it as exercise. If I start loosing weight because of the diet, would I get the loose skin n stretch marks? Or what happens when I diet without exercise?

You will lose more weight because you aren’t building muscle. And muscle weighs more than fat. If you don’t have much muscle, then you will actually be much smaller although you won’t be toned.

How early do you work? Three days a week, I have an exercise class from 6-7 and I wake up at 5:30 to get there. It fits perfectly into my schedule. But I do realize that most people aren’t willing to do that.

So, if you can get up earlier, three days a week, run or do cardio for about 20-30 minutes. It’s not a lot but it’s enough to keep your skin and mind healthy. Overall, exercising over time improves your mental health and physical health which leads to weight loss. There are so many benefits that you can get from exercise actually.

In the long run, eating a healthy diet and not exercising is much better than exercising but eating an unhealthy diet. Exercising is a good way to detox your body and improve cardiovascular health, but it’s more important that you eat right and give your body the nutrients it deserves. If you eat healthy enough, your body won’t have too many toxins to get rid of.

I was wondering if anyone knew what an average weight loss per week is. I started eating healthy last week at around 1200 calories *because I wasn’t yet working out* and lost 4 pounds. Now, I’ve started eating around 1600 calories because I’m alternating with aerobics and pilates and I have already lost 2 more pounds. I want the weight that I lose to stay off *just had a baby and had a few extra pounds after getting married!* What do doctors recommend losing, and if I’m losing too much, should I add more calories or willthe weight loss taper off after a few weeks?

healthy weight loss is around 2 pounds a week but that can be done at a way higher rate depending on the diet

Please break it down for me, tell me all about it. Because some people will say I eat healthy when in reality they eat healthy foods occasionally. And what about indulging. If you indulge does it mean you don’t eat healthy? How much should you indulge? What does it mean when a person says I eat healthy? OR when a person says healthy eating is important.

Eating healthy means you eat in a way that promotes good health, such as having a balanced diet of nutritious foods eaten in moderation. This doesnt mean you never eat anything that isnt totally good for you, because practicing moderation and portion control is also part of ‘eating healthy’.
If someone treats themselves to a couple of cookies every now and then, but still sticks to a healthy diet i would still say thats healthy. Because indulging in a treat on occasion isnt the problem, its OVER indulging that is unhealthy. So a cookie can be part of a healthy diet, you just can’t sit and eat the whole bag and make a meal out of it.

Okay, Im a girl, 14, 150 pounds, about 5’3, and I want to lose weight and slim down.So I eat pretty healthy. The question I have is for exercising. I am going to start the Couch to 5k running program since its the beginning of the summer and want to be slimmer for next year. So I was gonna do it 3 days a week or more. Should I lose some weight this summer?

Absolutely. In fact, once it starts, that weight will just melt away. If you start at 150 (Which is a bit much but many miles away from blubber-ville) and just lose 10lbs, you will find running easier and possibly more fun to do because of it. The more you lose, the easier running will be because you aren’t carrying all that weight.

Eating Healthy + Running (And other Cardio) are going to be your Ticket to awesomeness. Just don’t fall into the trap of trying to be Too small. Once you get down to like 115 -110, take another look at yourself and make absolutely sure you want to go lower.

Also, Remember that you are in the painfully severe land of Puberty….So your weight will fluctuate all over the place, even if you do everything right. Just stay healthy, and above all, Enjoy yourself.

I have lost over 100 pounds and regained 30 of those pounds. I am going back to my healthy eating, but I feel anxious, moody, and have the constant urge to eat fast/junk food. It feels like I am hooked a a drug or something. Why am I feeling like this and what can I do to stop it?

I need to get a flat stomach and lose about 15/20 pounds. I am 130 right now and also what are some good weight loss supplements that have worked for you?

I highly suggest you eat change your lifestyle by eating healthy and losing weight that way rather than going on diet pills. There are no secrets or magic pills to help you lose weight the only way is to get in shape by exercising and eating healthy. I would recommend trying a mushroom risotto recipe, it is filling, full of all of the essential fats, protien and the caloric count is not that bad (around 500 for one serving). I love mushroom risotto, its orginal and there are a lot great mushroom risotto recipes to try out, check it out–>http://mushroomrisotto.org

Im very over weight , Obease actully , But im starting my weight loss journey and i know exersize and eating healthy is the only way to go. But im thinking about using pro clinical hydroxy cut ALONG with exersize and eating right just to boost my weight loss beacuse i have my grad comming up in june.Im not asking for any cristism about diet pills , i know they are harmful but will this help me at all?

no they won’t. stick to diet and exercise. you will be better off taking an herbal supplement to support your mood, like st johns wort, which is a natural mood enhancer to help you stay committed and working hard in good spirits. i’ve been through this before and, please believe me, the hardest part will be the mental component. you must stay focused and committed to your goal. there is not a single diet pill that i can think of that you should be considering taking. be strong

I used to go running a lot, but it’s been a couple of months. I want to get back into shape, but I don’t want to run because I don’t want my legs to gain any more muscle. I really wanna focus on my arms, butt, and abs. Also, I’m a pescatarian, but sometimes still have trouble eating healthy. A diet would be nice too. Thank you!

Try yoga for upper strength training.
