Weight loss diet questions

Over the years I have tried many diets successfully but usually due to boredom I gradually like most people return to my old weight eventually. Recently I was introduced to the 5:2 diet which is basically five days od regular earthling and two days non consecutive of fasting. To begin with the word fasting put me off but after. Some research of my own and watching the horizon programme which studied the diet, I embarrassed led on it on New Year's Day. Sixteen days later I am 5.2 kilos or 11 pounds lighter so I intend to stick to this plan.

It is a lifestyle rather than a diet as such and the good thing about it is that although you try to incorporate some good dietary recommendations , no food is banned so you can have the bad bad things in moderation. Since deprivation is normally. The reason why diets fail this is all good for the foodie!

Take say Monday and Thursday as your fast days and on these days drink plenty of water , black tea, herbal teas and even bovril or marmite in hot water. Ideally you Take your one meal of the day later in the day and you have up to 500 calories or 600 for a man. For this you could typically have a grilled chicken breast with a salad or veg. It may sound difficult but at the start you may have your calories split to give you a small breakfast say porridge and gradually change to the dinner only. As long as your calories are restricted on those two fast days. Keep busy and you won't think of food as much!

On the normal days of course don't overheat and try to follow nutritional guidelines but allow yourself the odd treat without over indulging. This lifestyle plan quickly becomes easily part of your life and to.he fast days can of course be swapped if you have a social occasion which you can't miss and which would be spoiled By having to fast.

Very important are t eh health benefits which are a side effect if you like, of this eating plan. Research showed that not only do you lose weigh even if only a pound a week, but cancer risks are greatly reduced, as is the risk of stroke and heart disease, prevention of diabetes which is now common amongst overweight adults is also much less likely to affect you.

To conclude I would say give it a try but at the end of the day a good diet is one that works for you so you may have to try a few. If boredom is a problem try changing the diet you are on every few weeks so avoid this. My mossy successful weight loss was when I shed my excess five stone in 18 months by changing the diet

I was on every two weeks to bring variety. For most people it's a long haul but a pound a week is a normal healthy weight loss, more can be achieved if you are obese to start with but is not best if you want to avoid failing through boredom. A final tip is to only jump on the scales once a week as normal weight does fluctuate up and down . a. Set. Of scales that shows divisions of a pound or kilo is great as on weeks you appear to have not moved, on these type of scales you could find that you have actually lost 0.9 of a pound! Good luck whichever diet you decide to follow.

Dear OP, you are very young and that fortunately will definitely help with your plans for weight loss. Your metabolism is still quite active and exercising will bear fruit without a doubt.

Keep in mind that even on a diet, your body will still need energy in order to perform, especially if you plan on regular cardio activity. According to the time of day when you will be running, I suggest that you give your muscles the fuel needed, and most of all remember that it is essential to keep yourself hydrated at all times.

The best way to hydrate or rehydrate naturally (without artificial ingredients or sweeteners) is coconut water.

You have to keep in mind that your body will be using more energy in the first half of the day, so your intake of sugar, from carbohydrates to fruit, should be done between breakfast and lunch. You should then favour lean proteins, like chicken and fish, with sides of vegetables, either cooked or fresh, for your dinner and supper.

Try as much as you can to prepare your own food: ready-made meals contain high levels of salt, which lead to water retention and blood pressure problems.

Stay away from: all sugary drinks ( like carbonated sodas), energy bars, processed foods. For your own peace of mind, don't get too concerned with the calories intake/calories burned equation. Once your body will get familiar with your new regime, it will keep burning calories at a higher rate even in your periods of rest, which will also help with your weight loss.

Good luck!

Hi there.

If you are basing your classification as obese on BMI alone, then it is very inaccurate. The way your body is built isn't taken into account in the BMI reading. Take for example, a bodybuilder's BMI would be considered obese even if clearly they are not because they are packing more muscle which is denser than fat. Evaluate the way you're built.

As for the food, yep the Doc is right. Keep your muscles fueled when you're about to exercise. Try having complex carbs because they keep you fuller for longer. Protein also helps ou feel fuller longer.

Most of all, if ever you desire this to become your new lifestyle, I'd like to share this article about why balance is key. Indulging yourself once in a while doesn't hurt and really keeps it from getting boring.

I highly recommend a low(ish) carb diet, less than 50 g a day.  The weight will fall off.  It'll be tough for the first 10 days or so, but once your body adapts to using fat as a fuel source instead of carbs, you'll burn more fat and won't have the sugar cravings that I'm sure you're so used to having.  I'd recommend a "re-feed" or a cheat day once a week (I like to do it on Saturdays) to allow yourself to eat anything you want.  This will keep you sane and makes it easy to stay on track with your diet during the rest of the week if you know there's a day where you can let loose a little.  I lost 10 kilos like this and my mother lost 20!  Highly recommend it.  It's safe and easy to follow and with some exercise you'll see results fast!  Good luck!
