My NEW Healthy Lifestyle, any extra Tips?
-go to gym and do cardio workout for 1hr every other day, plus some leg & abdominal excercises -drink lots of water (up to 64 oz) -reduced the sugar & salt intake (never add salt to my foods now) -Have more fiber (25grams) -crunches (30 per day) -Dont overfill my stomach -NO junk food -Green & white tea -NO sodas -Changed from normal or white bread/pastas/rice to whole wheat and brown rice -Eat less meat. and it has to be 100% with no preservatives, hormones, & steroids -Eat foods with high iron and fiber -many times i eat smaller meals/snacks every 3 hours (unless meat is involved) -more antioxidants in my diet -Buy organic/natural foods only (with NO preservatives if available) -more plain yogurt and herbs -only use olive oil to cook -reduced fast foods alot (i have salads, soups) NEW: -Take vitamin B-12 (good for metabolism) -Stopped eating meats! (except for fish) so that makes me a pescitarian -More fruits & vegetables -Never skip breakfast -Chew well -Sleep more -DONT eat 3 hours before going to bed -Stay away from HFCS, Aspartame, etc -Always read labels -Don't cook on tephlon -No canned foods and more BTW this is not really considered a ""Diet"".. i came up with it from research.. it is just some ways to be HEALTHY.. i did not really design it for only loosing weight (which it does help alot anyways).. my purpose was to find a way to be very healthy and looking great at the same time.. and this works, there is no way you will gain weight back if you keep on doing it I do NOT believe on "diets" such as nutrisystem, surgeries like lipo, and appetite suppressants... they are not good for you, and chances of gaining weight back are high.

- Firstly you can lose as much weight as you want in a short time period, however, you will gain it back. I am speaking from experience from someone who has been there done that with fad diets. There is the obvious liposuction, however, the recovery time is 3 – 6 months and it sounds as though that you’re in a rush to lose the weight for possibly an event with no downtime to spare. I am and have been on weight watchers for 2 years and lost 25 lbs. It was a slow and steady race, however, I haven’t gained the weight back ‘cause my diet has been stabilized and so was the weight loss from 0.5 – 1 lb/week. Remember the weight gain didn’t happen overnight, it happened slowly over time, the same is with proper healthy weight loss, you can’t have/perform miracles over night. These are some things that I do. 1.Drink lots of water as it kept me full longer. 2.Used an appetite suppressant like hoodie to make sure I don’t go over my daily calorie intake. 3.Did cardio and toning 3 – 4 times a week. 4.Made meal and recipe modifications as I cooked. 5.When I dined out, I made sure that I wasn’t shy about asking the kitchen to make modifications like dressing/sauce on the side, half portion ordered the kids meal etc. 6.Brushing teeth after every meal, the mint acts like an appetite suppressant and without the taste in your mouth, you can easily forget about the food. 7.Never drank diet cola, the aspartame actually made me crave food more for some reason. 8.At work I take a break before lunch and either take the stairs in the building or just general toning without weights. We have a gym at work so I do about 15 minutes of weights which not only gets my blood flowing but releases tension from a**hole customers. 9.Bought snacks in bulk (to save money) and properly measured what a cup or portion was and made individual baggies. There are some snacks on the market that are 100 calorie snacks, however, I find those to be too expensive than just buying in bulk and separating the portions yourself. Also by physically separating them yourself, you get an idea of what a portion is supposed to be and you learn to properly eye ball correct portions.
- wow thats good. also when you work out drink vitamin water because he has all the b vitamins.
