I am working out three times a week. I just need a good diet that I can stick to and see results! Thanks--Marilou. You can email me at dreamweaverndixie@hotmail.com |
You can do it! I went from 156 last January, to now 122! I used to be a size 12/14 and am now down to a size 4! Here's what worked for me:
Diet Mountain Dew (I drink water if I'm near death only!)
High Protein
Lowered carbs (I didn't say no carbs, just lowered)
Lean meat
Pre-packaged 100 calorie snacks (cookies, crackers, etc.)
Lean cuisine (no brainer, they are not great, but if you're really hungry, they will fill you up)
DO NOT eat at fast food resturants! They are nothing but high fat and no healthy choices. Sit down resturant is generally better, more food choices.
No DEPRIVATION! If I want ice cream, I eat it, just have to do it in moderation. If I want a double cheese burger from McD's, I eat it! Just can't eat one more than about one every 2 weeks.
I eat a LOT of cottage cheese, Special K cereal bars, the strawberry ones are yummy!
EXERCISE will help you blast the weight off and gain MUSCLE! Muscle burns more calories. Exercise is addicting, once you see some results, you'll understand. I was never physically fit, never. I now do 45 minutes of cardio, which includes walking and running on the treadmill at the gym, and I also have started lifting weights and doing things the right way and also have a workout buddy that is major FIT and really pushes me. She weighs the same as I do, but Geeeeesh! She's rock solid!
Hang in there and just make adjustments in your diet that work for YOU!
