YOU MUST check the thread above out! In January this year some of us here on YT began a weight loss club! Before we were done (I had other committments and had to stop keeping statistics) the club had lost a LOT of weight together!
The title of the thread SHOULD have been "The Healthy Eating For Life Club"!
Think about this: TRULY you ARE what you EAT! If you eat a lot of fatty food, what happens to your body? If you don't get any exercise, any calories you take in that you do not burn get STORED by your body as fat.
Check out the thread. IT IS NOT about "dieting". It is about adopting a healthy eating life style. Ask Teri88 what it has done for HER! She will be thrilled to tell you!
GOOD LUCK to all who are trying to lose weight! I am there for you if you need me! I lost 45 pounds by changing the way I eat for a life time. It's a habit now, and I love it. I am not deprived, I eat like a pig, and it's all home made. OK off the soap box! Check the thread! |
I got a diet off the internet called the Idiots diet, or something like that. I lost the weight that I wanted to and kept it off.
But just as you said Glad, it's changing the way you eat for life that makes the difference.
Get used to diet pop or water, once you make the switch you'll get used to it. Totally cut out the fried foods. We have an occasionl treat of French Fries, but do not fry anything at home. An added benifit, your kitchen stays a whole lot cleaner.
For snacks its pretzels or popcorn or fresh fruit, cut out the fritos and potato chips. Eat more often with smaller portions. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Many raw fruits and vegetables are negative calorie foods, which means you burn more calories digesting them than what they contain. I thought that was pretty cool.
Now this may seem odd, but my sister is always experimenting, trying to make foods taste better, yet she is trying to lose weight. I laugh and ask her why she wants it to taste better, she'll just want to eat more. So another good way to lose weight, is learn to be a worse cook.
