Healthy Life For Better Future

I would never attack you, sweetie. :]
However, instant noodles will not make you healthy, and will not lose any fat you think you may have.
The exercise will definitely help, but you need "healthy" foods, with vitamins and minerals. These include fruits, vegetables, lean meats (or tofu if you're vegetarian), and fish, if you like it (personally, I don't).
There's no specific time for exercise; if it's cardio it's burning fat, essentially. Everything you do builds muscles, and exercising longer on a treadmill certainly won't bulk you up, but it may add to toning and definition.
Congratulations on finally making the conscious effort to get away from your eating disorder, it's something I haven't managed to do yet. Good luck! :]

My wife and i have both lost some weight recently, and she has done it while rarely working out. Here is what we have done:

1. Watch what you drink. Soda has no value, but even juices and milk can be bad for you if you exceed the serving size. People tend to forget about these calories. And I recommend cutting down on the after work alcohol. It may seem hard, but once you see the results on your weight, skin, overall health, etc. you just might enjoy it. I try to indulge in 1-2 drinks every couple of weeks now.
2. Don't eat fried foods. We occasionally allow ourselves to have a burger, but eat a salad with it instead of french fries. Just make sure you use 1 serving or less of light dressing and avoid cheese, croutons, bacon etc. (or at least use them in moderation).
3. Learn about portions. A serving of beef is 3 oz. I have noticed that in many restaurants the smallest steak you will find is a 6 oz. I often eat the 6 oz steaks now instead of the 12 oz.
4. Hold the sauce. Mayo may not seem like much, but it can take a healthy chicken sandwich and add a lot of unnecessary calories. Unfortunately you may not even know what sauces is on some sandwiches. So if you can't research it, don't eat it.
5. Research the restaurant to the best of your ability and decide what you will eat before you get there so you don't give in to temptation.
6. Repackage your healthy foods into single servings and put them in containers so you can take them to work with you. Do this when you get home from the grocery store. Then if you get hungry while waiting tables, you can have a handfull of almonds or grapes. They're easy to keep concealed and in a pocket, and you can eat them quickly.
7. Most importantly, educate yourself on food. We all have bad
habits that we know about, but many foods are worse for you than you realize. Some foods (like nuts) may help you lose weight even though they are high in fat and calories. But even these foods need to be eaten in moderation, because if you eat more calories than you burn, you will be in trouble. I've been able to learn a lot by using the livestrong website, but their are other great resources out there.

I also recommend keeping a food journal. Track every calorie you take in. At any point during the day you should have an idea of how many calories you've eaten and how many more you should have to maintain (or lose) weight.

Good luck!

reduce the amount u eat…

Weight loss is a funny thing. For example you're 194 pounds, about every week if you diet and walk more you can loose 1-2 pounds a week. But when you get skinnier you won't loose as much weight, ex. 120 pounds. If you're 120 pounds you'll probably loose about 0.5-1 pound a week. Try not to excersize because it increases your appetite and you might feel justified in eating a muffin or something after you jog for 30 min. Try walking more and have a pedometer on you. Like instead of taking the elevator use the stairs, park farther from the supermarket, walk with your family, etc. When you stop eating a portion of your brain that you can't control (it controls weight distribution, certain muscles, flight/fight, etc.) will prepare to keep you alive during a famine. This means that whatever you eat will be directly stored into fat, so as soon as you stop this crash diet or give in your body will put the calories into your fat deposits. Your body will also start getting energy from your muscles since they are easier to break down than fat. Also if you don't eat your hair will start to fall out, your periods will become eratic and unhealthy, and you will be cranky, tired, and moody.
My goal in life is to become a nutritionist and I've lost 26 pounds since I started dieting 2 years ago. The important thing to do is keep your metabolism and blood sugars up by eating something every 2-3 hours. For breakfast I eat a turkey D-light with some fruit if I'm feeling hungry that morning. In between breakfast and lunch I have half of a Luna bar. Luna bars have some carbs and sugars but they're really good because they have protein and fiber in them which keeps you full. For lunch I have a chicken tenderloin with a portion of fruit and vegetables. On the bus home I finish the other half of the Luna bar and when I get to my house I have a Dannon Light and Fit yogurt or a serving of fruit. For dinner I usually have whatever my family is having but I cut back on the carbs and get a good serving of vegetables. If you have any questions at all about nutrition or excersize feel free to email me (you an always make one up so that I don't know you're real email) at joe.mamasmama@yahoo.com. And yes that's my real email.

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

that one is hilarious

star for you

Try not to focus on everything at once and get overwhelmed. Take one small step by improving one thing at a time. Every physical change has a mental and emotional impact and vice versa. Proper nutrition and exercise is the foundation of all health. If you eat for emotional reasons develop another coping skill such as a creative outlet.

My philosophy is that heredity mostly involves following the same bad example set by parents thus creating the same outcome. You can protect yourself by making better health choices.

This makes a lot of sense. I’m sure it’s not a surprise to anyone but my doctor didn’t even MENTION insulin resistance. I was on the Dr. Bernstein and felt fantastic…..funny, the diet promotes EVERYTHING that is in this video.

Your body is a machine.
It must be kept in good working order with regular exercise.
It must be fueled properly with nutrients.

Start thinking about the components of your food and your exercise regimen and how they affect you. Helps me.

@poweroverpcos I’ve noticed apple cider vinegar tablets/capsules being sold in health food shops in Sydney, Australia. Is this recommended or is it best to use the liquid form?! Thanks.
