How To Dress 10 Pounds Thinner

wrote: Hi all, I am 24 years old and 174 pounds in weight. I want to loose at least 30 pounds. So I am looking for a good diet. There are so many diets but I don't know which will work better. My choices are south beach diet, low carb, protein, and more. But which one is better which one will make me lose a lot of weight? If you have another diet that worked for you please list it down. And if any web or book is there that will tell me about this diet then please post it. Thank you. -- lancymoor102 Losing thirty pounds is easy, especially for a 24 year-old. When you're that young, you probably don't even need a "diet" (unless you're an elite athlete trying for every little edge over your opponents you might get). Just work out, hard and frequent (well, not too hard or too frequent, of course -- your body [and not your ego] will tell you the difference, in time). If you absolutely will not exercise for some reason, well, okay, do a diet, which really is very simple: have six or seven very small meals a day, three or four of them just protein shakes, spaced two to three hours apart. Your non-liquid meals, of which you should have at least one or two a day, should be fresh whole foods that cover all the basics: a bit of low-glycemic carbs, more of animal proteins, and lots and lots of vegetables. Again, remember to keep your portions small. Follow these general guidelines for three months and you'll have lost thirty pounds, no sweat. (Naturally, no cheating -- weekend binges, alcohol, etc.) For faster weight loss (assuming you have no medical problems or "genetic issues" and the like), tinker with those variables to taste -- for example, do only one "real meal" every other day, with the majority of your calories from protein shakes and vegetable juices. Basically, some variant of "the hacker's diet," "the physicist's diet," "the velocity diet".... |

Lots of ways to get the correct calories and nutrition in a day. What works for one will not work for another too. You are right about one thing certainly, and that is that she must limit the calories to lose weight. I assume what you are recommending worked well for you, so you feel confident recommending it. On the other hand, I lost 95 pounds and kept it off and did none of those things. Lots of ways to lose weight and probably do it safely and in a healthy manner. I never drink calories for one, because that is too easy of a way to consume calories and for many of us, we feel like we haven't "eaten" anything. dkw |

Low-glycemic carbs ARE vegetables. Yes, I know, I had in mind "grains" when I distinguished "carbs" from "vegetables." |

You are right about one thing certainly, and that is that she must limit the calories to lose weight. I assume what you are recommending worked well for you, so you feel confident recommending it. On the other hand, I lost 95 pounds and kept it off and did none of those things. Yeah, I used to just exercise and lose weight within two weeks. Can't do that now...advancing age, I suppose. Lots of ways to lose weight and probably do it safely and in a healthy manner. I never drink calories for one, because that is too easy of a way to consume calories and for many of us, we feel like we haven't "eaten" anything. dkw That's why the OP reported being hungry despite the protein shakes, and that's why I'd recommended taking fish oil or flaxseed oil supps, etc., for that "full feeling" which comes with fats. Losing weight is an interesting hobby, actually...I'm currently only having one or two "real meals" a day myself, the rest of my intake being protein shakes and veggies, and I'm losing weight slowly...thing is, I *feel* like I'm losing weight a lot faster than I actually am...likely due to my imagination, to be sure, but nonetheless I feel lighter and even more energetic, etc. Why, I just got back from the gym a couple of hours ago and it was a great workout despite my not having had a real meal all day today! I didn't lose strength or anything -- and I didn't even take any creatine before the workout! Then again, I didn't commute to work by bicycle on account of the rain, so maybe that explains things...cardio seems to really drain me. |
