I’ve lost 35 lbs already, but would like to lose more weight. I eat as healthy as possible. I hate to exercise. What foods should I avoid in order to lose 10 more lbs.? Thanks for your answers!
Avoid:
-dairy
-eggs
-meat
-heavy processing
-animal fats
-too much sugar
Above all – don’t diet! The last 5-10 pounds are usually the hardest to lose so don’t lose faith. It would help to know what types of food you are already consuming but here are a few things to avoid and a few to add: if you’re really serious about losing those pounds, omit dairy, refined sugars and refined starches from your diet. That means no milk, cheese or yogurt of any kind. No sugars, syrups, sodas or desserts and no white breads, white pastas or white potatoes.
This seems unrealistic for most so here is an easy way to replace these substances safely, while effectively losing weight and keeping it off. If you do consume dairy on a regular basis, replacing it with the nonfat variety is always a plus, and eat no more than two servings a day. Dairy is notorious for adding and reserving unwanted pounds from your waist. Cottage cheese and nonfat plain yogurt with berries are excellent choices.
Replace your sugars with natural ones, complex sugars are harder to break down and thus require more work by the body- honey and sugar in the raw are great examples. Believe it or not, artificial sweeteners, although great for diabetics, wreck havoc on your system. Since your body doesn’t recognize the chemical components of things like splenda, it releases stress hormones to compensate (like cortisol. which contributes to belly fat) so avoid these.
Replace simple carbs with complex ones. The beauty of this is that the increased fiber helps regulate your digestive system and keeps you fuller longer. So add whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes and the like.
Try not to eat pork or red meats and if you do, eat in moderation. A serving of meat is 4 oz, about the size of the palm of your hand. And definitely increase your activity, I know you hate exercise but even walking nonstop for a half an hour a day is sufficient enough to help you lose pounds. If you aren’t drinking at least 8, 8oz glasses of water a day, add that to your regiment – those extra 10 pounds could actually be water weight. Hope this helps!
carbs
sugars
I do not think that avoinig foods is the right answer. These foods are said to help you lose belly fat (body fat) . Read this article: http://easyurl.net/7e1b
Particularly avoid foods that I call dense foods – ones that have a high number of calories in a small amount of food. These are mostly foods that are high in sugar or fat.
Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.
Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.
Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.
Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.
In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.
Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.
Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.
Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.
Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.
Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.
An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.
Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.
I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.
Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…
This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.
However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
