So ok, I need to lose this nine pounds or so. I don't know how to do it a "healthy" way; everything I have tried before results in gaining it all back! I am super picky when it comes to eating and when I eat less, I feel like I am starving to death. Any suggestions? I tried only eating an actual "Serving size" on a smaller plate for dinner and I couldn't believe how little it was! I ate it and my stomach was growling and I felt dizzy and just wanted more!
What I did was try to get in more protein and less carbs also I started doing my walking videos . I have the walk away the pounds series by Leslie Sansone Oh and getting leaner meats too. Substituted bread with wraps. I switched to egg beaters instead of eggs. Not sure if this will hel*****t but good luck . Oh yeah increased my water intake too.
before this whole process I had done tons of diets, but, my nutritionist had me count calories and Proteins. she told me to have between 1200-1400 cal and 60-80 proteins. I had never done it, had to look everything up, and still do, but I"ve lost 12 lbs. since Jan 1st. I"m old and loose very slow, I did have a hard time, but got much support here and finally it kicked in. I'm not perfect! but don't give up, I need to be honest with my self, I count everything....I really have learned alot, about foods, and what food have more calories and which have more proteins. first few days, I messes up, had too many calories and not enought protein. give it a try for a week. Move a little more, take stairs, park at furthest point in parking lot. Good luck, and keep in touch
I cut way back on carbs and tried to make what carbs I ate healthy ones - like whole wheat bread instead of white. I also tried to eat lower fat, lean proteins. When I cut back on carbs and up the protein, I'm never really hungry. Also make sure to get all your water in.
