How to Get the Most Effective Diet
Old diets Not working? Try this; it's proven to work! Just remember it is not a quick fix!
Steps
- Make a food log of what you eat on an average day.
- Count how many carbs, proteins, fruits, veggies, dairy products and fats/sweets you eat every day.
- For the first two weeks, stop eating all desserts or sugary foods.
- Limit the amount of carbs you eat. Do not cut them out completely, they are important.
- Increase your fruit, veggie and meat intake, these are the foods that give you the most vitamins and nutrients.
- Limit your calorie intake based on recommendations from your doctor.
- Make sure you are eating at least 3 meals and 2 snacks per day.
- Attempt to do some type of cardio activity 3 or more times a week. Make sure to get your heart rate above 120 for a sustained time of 20 minutes or more.
Tips
- Take the stairs as much as you can, not only is it great exercise but it will help you get leaner legs.
- Make sure you eat breakfast, even if it is just a piece of fruit, you have to start your metabolism to get the day going!
- Don't eat meals up to two hours before bed.
- Going to the gym and lifting weights is also a great way to help get in shape. Doing many repetitions at low weights will help build endurance in your muscles, and they will not get too big!
- Drink low fat milk or soymilk.
- Drink a lot of water it is substansial for your organism and it will help you to get rid of harmful toxins.
Warnings
- If you are highly overweight or have other health conditions, talk to your doctor first.
- This will be a slow process, expect to lose 8 - 10 lbs in the first two weeks but after that expect to lose 1 - 2 lbs.
- Don't starve yourself; it's not worth it to lose weight, and doing so will cause your body to go into starvation mode, where it tries to store more (and burn less) fat.
