Diets & Snacking!!

[Jnr Kisby]

Ive lost about 5 stone by calorie counting over 2 years on and off, I also changed my diet and stopped drinking fizzy drinks and by eating more fruit and Veg.

I read somewhere that if an adult male was to stay in bed all day and do nothing your body needs 1800 calories to operate, anything over accounts for the exercise you do during the day so if you reduce your calorie intake to closer to 2000 instead of 2500 you will drop weight.

Thats about right, im not overweight really just wanted to get down to a more desirable weight, and doing this was effective but it does take dedication. But it also makes you realise just how many calories are in everyday foods, a portion of fish and chips for example is 2000 calories , thats your daily allowance! And even just a glass of pepsi 140cals. I cut out fizzy drink altogether too.

cut out meat and potatoes from diet and replace with fish and rice/pasta/salad. Instead of drinking fizzy drinks, beer, coffee stick to water. Avoid snacking stick to 3 meals a day but if you do snack eat fruit ie Cereal for breakfast, bannana as snack, salad for lunch, rice and fish for tea. Dont eat after 7pm.

Don't cut out meat from your diet you will turn into pube. Not eating after 7PM is ridiculous but eating carbs after this time should be avoided. I agree with just drinking water and dropping potatoes - potatoes are a killer for gaining weight/fat

why is not eating after 7pm ridiculous u eat during the day the food gets digested when you are up and moving u eat in evening/night your food gets digested when u are sleeping not moving u as a result gain weight, he wants to lose weight.

Realistically, only if you eat carbs. Not eating from 7 o clock til morning will slow your metabolism down considerably and that is exactly what you don't want to happen if you're trying to lose wight. Advising someone not to eat after 7 is terrible advice

You have got to drink more water aswell, if you dont and become dehydrated the fat burning devices in your body are the first to stop working. 2 litres a day should do it.

Its all well and good sorting out your diet but you do need to go out and do some exercise - even a 20min walk after work would be amble every day.

Try not to eat Carbs after 7pm

Have a big breakfast that is going to be filling or releases energy slowly. Ideal combination is porridge (slow energy releaser) a banana (quick fast energy that will wake you up) and a low fat yoghurt. This will keep you going to lunch without having to or wanting to snack.

Eat more protein such as fish, chicken etc. It takes more calories to burn up protein than it does anything else.

If your a bloke try and start lifting a few weights, the more muscle you the more you burn calories.

Oh and walking backwards burns three times as many calories as walking forward. Try it around the house.



Cant believe I remember all this from sports science.......!

Thanks for that mate, Do alot of excersize football,running and Boxing just eat shiut aswell lol

 

[Jnr Kisby]

but muscle adds to body mass, and therefore weight increases, I say pish to that!

Then you need to sort out your diet more than anything, if you do all that exercise and your still not losing weight then you have got to be eating loads of calories. Theres some good advice over the past few pages so try and follow it. A big one is try to cook as much as you can as opposed to eating processed crap. For instance if you like burgers, make them yourself. Lean Mince, mix it with onions, half an egg, garlic etc. Instead of a shitter McDonalds burger you have yourself a quite healthy one. It tastes miles better aswell.
