Welcome to my blog, I'm going to teach you how I lost over 60lbs, I spent the last 2 years of my life working on my weight loss and searching the internet for help, and I'm almost done with my dieter's life. Anyways, today I'm gonna talk about starting a weight loss resolution, and if you're just starting out, you probably have bad eating habits, eat too much sugar and fat, and probably don't exercise as much as you should. As the title of my post says, the worst your eating habits, the easier and faster your weight loss is going to be...say for example you drink 2 cans of regular coke a day at 140 calories per can, that's about 280 calories in beverages ONLY. Now, let's say you have the classic American breakfast, a donut and a coffee, so maybe a Dunkin' Donuts Chocolate Frosted Cake Donut, and a Dunkin' Donut coffee with cream and sugar, that's about 420 calories, but most of us, specially if you're overweight don't just eat a donut and a cup of coffee for breakfast, which would probably mean that you'll be consuming a lot more calories than that. Here's a list of the most important things you should do to successfully lose weight if you have bad eating habits
1)- Switch from Regular Coke to Diet Coke (i know it has a reputation, but I'll talk about that some other day)
2)- Eat oats (prepared with milk. You can add Splenda) and a fruit (avoid bananas) for breakfast
3)- Start walking, it's the easiest form of exercise you can do, start out small, maybe 15 minutes a day, and work your way into 1 hour a day
To lose 1 pound a week, you must burn 500 calories a day, or take away 500 calories from your daily diet based on your calorie needs, to find out how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight, CLICK HERE and subtract 500 calories from that, so say you need 1800 calories/day to maintain your weight, than to lose one pound a week, you should only eat about 1300 calories/day without doing any exercises.
What I ate to lose weight
Breakfast: one bowl of oatmeal(non-flavored) Or you can get Quaker's weight control oatmeal if you must have a tasty breakfast, prepare it with milk + 1/2 apple
A.M snack: the other half of the apple you had for breakfast (NO PEANUT BUTTER!)
Lunch: Salad made with lettuce and tomatoes (NO regular ranch, only fat free Italian ranch or just salt and apple cider vinegar AND some form of protein, like hard boiled eggs (limit = 2) or some grilled chicken
P.M snack: 1 Fiber ONE granola bar + 1 whole grain toast with a piece of ham or fat free cottage cheese)
Dinner: Eat normally but sensibly, only eat until you're full, NOT STUFFED
Good Luck!
