Mend Your Diet

Lose weight?

I'm 5"5" tall and weigh 105 pounds. I want to lose 10-15 pounds to be thin. I am so fat right now. But I am having trouble losing the weight. Any tips on how to lose the weight would be welcome. Should I just stop eating until I lose the weight?

1. Try yoga and eating healthy. You don't sound like you need to lose weight.
2. Sounds to me that you're okay at this weight. In fact I think if you lose weight it would be unhealthy and you would be taking weight off your muscle. If you're concerned then do some walking, play sports, swim, just move that body one way or another. If you think you're fat I think you need to see someone who can help you accept your body the way it is. I wish I were your size.
3. You are too thin for your height. You don't have a problem with weight, you have a problem with your head. A quick calculation with the BMI calculator shows that you have a BMI of 17.5, which is lower than a starving model's.
4. Your weight is perfectly fine where you are. If you dont eat to loose weight then you will start to loose muscle. the best way to be healthy and loose weight is eating healthy foods like veggies and fruits and drinking lots of water, then going outside and playing or riding a bike or going for a walk. you will feel much better about yourself! Hope it works.. good luck! <3
5. Why you should not starve. 1. It will reduce your body metabolism rate thus you will burn less energy compared to normal. 2. You will gain back weight easily when you change back to your normal healthier eating habit. So how eating habit shld be like? 1. Eat little for every meal. 2 Choose low fat products to eat 3. eat a balance of fat, carbohydrate and protein to maintain good metabolism rate. What else shld be add? 1. daily exercise like FAST running of at least 20 min complete at least 2.4km (for gal. boy is 3.2km) 1a) or 3times per week of at least 1h of running skipping . 2. enough sleep *best is play as you exercise. Enjoy excercise is what i wana give you. Example of schedule: 1.morning -start of day: drink half glass of milk -eat salad or ONE fruit. 2.afternoon -eat slightly more than morning -eat half plate of rice with some vegetable and meat without skin or fats that is visible. 3.night -before eating exercise at least 20min of heavy exercise -rest for at least 2h before you eat -eat fruits or salad -or ONE bread without margarine *drink water before eat meal. *drink at least 8 glass of water everyday *when feel hungry, drink water *NO soft drink *sleep at least 7h daily *do more outdoor activity than staying at home watchin tv and playing computer. *Fill your free time up to prevent yourself from thinking of eating *keep yourself away from kitchen *No snacks at home *NO EAting of snacks.
6. How much weight will I lose? The main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace. Initially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss. Try to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing. Fasting And Metabolism The fear is that while fasting, the metabolism will slow down and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast. Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will eat less and feel more energetic. After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security blanket. The greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber, more-filling foods. http://www.thefatlosssecrets.blogspot.com/
