Hello Guys!

Weight loss has always been a trick question for many ppl, it is for me also though:) but I've found a few tricks that work actually. We will talk about how we can control or lose that extra weight hanging around our body.

I'm 6ft tall and slim but i've a little tummy which i don't like at all. And lately i have been married and been on holidays at home so have been eating alot so that also summed up a little. Then i thought of fighting back and getting back my old shape.

Well, the theory goes very simple, what you eat should be less than what you can actually burn and you'll lose weight as a result. But the tricky part it how to eat less because the body has a very complex computer which is fighting back all the time and trying to make you FAT, so as to store food for the BAD days(which never come). Then you have to trick that computer into thinking that everything is fine.

Before i start into that, lets hear your story first.

Did you do it?
Do you want to do it?
DO you want to lose weight and can't?
What is a balance diet for you?
Should you exercise or not?
What to eat and what not?

Seeya;)

I have been trying to lose weight for quite a number of times already but it seems that I always fail. I think that I could not discipline my appetite. I always have been eating more than what I should. So, one day I read that it is good to drink a glass of water upon waking up. It is good for the body for it cleans the toxins out of your body. That is not the only thing that is beneficial to your body. What I noticed is that I lost weight, a few pounds . I think it made me full. And by feeling that I do not salivate for more than that I should eat. And it is really good. Now my pants fit me well. And I noticed that even my shirts fit well with me now.

I think we would like the secret to losing weight...I am a lazy person and have to force myself to exercise...I love junk food but have stopped from eating a lot of junk as I have to get my cholesterol down by December or go on medication..I hope we get some solutions here....would be good.


laserfllight (18)   ranked 2,672 out of 11,361 in health  4 months ago

hi lila!

i hope u r doing good..:) tell me about you.. how old are you? how tall are you? how much do u weigh? what kinda job/work do you have?

To start with, dont skip ur breakfast, never ever. Some ppl do that for cutting calories, but its bad, but breakfast is what it says, "BREAK" "FAST".. you break the fast(didnt eat anything) while u were sleeping. so breakfast starts up ur metabolism which in turn burns the food that u eat...

eat brown bread in breakfast, with eggs if possibe and no jams and sweet stuff..

take mini snacks every 2 hours,, like an apple,, bananas, oranges..

make salads and lots of them and a variety and dont use creams or mayonesse in them..


its hard in the beginning but u'll get used to it in a few days..

to ease things up, always eat an apple or a few bananad b4 ur normal day meal, so that way u cut down ur junk food. suppose u eat 2 hamburgers every supper, next time start with an apple, then u would end up eating just 1 ham..

split ur meals. if u ate twice a days 400grams of food.. eat it 100g at 4 times apart by some hours...

any more questions.. shoot;)


myLot reputation of 99/100. lilaclady (19766)   ranked 1,369 out of 11,361 in health  4 months ago

You have made a lot of sense here. when you think about having say 8 hours sleep then I guess our bodies need something... what foods a re good for us is a bit confusing though, I have read eggs are not all that good for you mainly the yokes...bread is not supposed to be good for us, although I do only have grained bread and as far as the salad is concerned I have always liked mine naked as I call it, no oils or dressing.....thank you for the hints..I have taken note..


laserfllight (18)   ranked 2,672 out of 11,361 in health  4 months ago

Hi there!

Great to hear from u:) Eggs are not so good because of the cholestrol but they are healthy also... brown bread is always healthy, not white or refined.. refined includes, cookies, cakes and all those sweet stuff...

vegetables are great, all of them.. just make a mix and there u go.. ready to eat.. u can add boiled beans and lentils to make taste changes.. since im married so my wife does that for me, easy:p but remember to make take ur meals in breaks and eat slowly, its always a good idea to eat with a friend talking so u can always take break inbetween. it gives ur body time to register that food has come in and u should stop.

and one more thing, dont eat after abt 5 or 6 pm.. stop eating abt 4 to 5 hrs before night sleep.. when u eat at that time,, ur metabololism slows down alot,, so whatever u eat, it just piles up...

good luck:)

laserfllight (18)   ranked 2,672 out of 11,361 in health  4 months ago

Hi binthu!

Good discussion:) but i would avoid any type of medicine. Afterall its simple math, what you eat minus what u burn, if the result is negative, u loose and if positive u gain weight...:)

Exercise is very good for body in general also, not only for wieght reduction but for mental strength, mood and so on. A guy i know lost lke 30kg in a litle more than a year just by jogging. He jogged 3 or 4 times a week. But yes he jogged alot, like for an hour and it worked...

But healthy eating is effective also, nuritionists and dietrionists say that weight-loss is 70% food control and 30% exercise. But with exercise, the best thing is that you'll loose more fat only and no muscle tissue, keeping in view the right kind of exercise is practiced.

Any help required, just ask:)

I have never been big on breakfast. I mainly drink some juice in the car on the way to work. I have been considering trying Carnation Instant Breakfast or a Slimfast for breakfast. I tried to eat breakfast when I was in school, mainly because I had a habit of fainting and the teacher yelled at me. So, the next day I ate breakfast, nothing huge, just toast and tea. Halfway to school I had to pull over to throw up. That was the last time I ate breakfast that early. Now I can eat more of a brunch and tolerate it.
I want to cut down on the carbs and increase the veggies. I am not big on meat though. I have to force myself to eat it. I have been trying to incorporate one of those small yogurt cups in the early afternoon. I know that I have to cut out my after work snack. It is just hard as it has become an ingrained routine. Watch my DVR'd soaps and munch crackers and cheese.
I wish I could figure out how to make my treadmill fit into my bedroom. Then my routine could be watch my soaps while I walk!

Hi Trace!

Breakfast is supposed to BREAK the FAST that u have had the whole night, as stated before.. It starts up ur metabolism, which is very important. So then even when u r sitting and doing nothing, u r burning cuz ur metabolism is running and burning something and not storing it.

its bad luck for u u cant digest breakfast, probably u should chek with a doctor.. and i guess its been really big time, why dont u give it a try...

try have a toast when u reach work,, with coffee.. nothing much.. try and make it work, im sure its not that hard.. and while u eat, be happy abt it.. some ppl think sure that its not gonna work,, and then it doenst really work.. ur state of mind had a great affect on it. .trust me on this.. my family is all doctors, sometimes theres only psychological stress and noting more, otherwise things are normal...

try at salads,, its hard in the beginning but u'l get used to it after a few days..

and do have cheat days...:)
