Okay here it is, its meal plan that has worked for me back in high school. I did it for a week and I lost a wonderful ten pounds no kidding but maybe it was too fast and not healthy. Back then I would only eat a fuji apple for breakfast do some intense strength training and then eat anything I want afterwards. Now my new meal plan is this, I will eat veggies and fruits only for breakfast and lunch. At night I will eat protein foods. I will of course do some form of exercise in between. Alright, Mylot health pseudo dietitians would this work for me to lose weight? Is it a bad diet? My target is to reduce muscle mass and fats.

It sounds like it would be fine. What i found that helps me loose a bit of weight is to eat oatmeal for breakfast with lots of fruit and then again for dessert. It helped keep me full in between meals. Good luck with your diet! I am to trying to loose some weight this year.

No good at all. People needs energy in the morning,and it's best to have extra meals on your breakfast. Otherwise, you can't work, or study well on the day. Just normal food, with enough protein, and carbs,and for lunch less carbs, and for dinner, no carbs at all. For breakfast or lunch, choose boiled chicken or grilled chicken. Drink fresh lime water with warm water just after you eat breakfast and lunch. It will get rid of the fat on the food you ate.

I will get the energy from the fruits. I'm planning to lose muscle mass too so atrophy is part of the deal. The lack of protein in my breakfast and lunch will aid the muscular atrophy, right?

I think it is harder for the westerners to lose weight coz of what they eat. Like Mcdonalds, Kentucky and Pizza. But one tip is really worked is that eat less calories food that are healthy, change a bit of your snacking habit and do some exercise. You are going to lose 10 pounds in a week. Wish you all the luck. Don't give up if the scale doesn't turn down, ok? Try it for 1 week and see.

I rarely go to the places you mentioned and other fastfood places. I rarely eat fastfood not even once a month or twice a month. I am already doing what you thought I should be doing.

Try not to do anything drastic and don't try fad diets. Just eat sensible meals like a small breakfast of fruit as you said but then eat normal meals for lunch and dinner. I usually have some type of snack in between and it works for me but I snack on things like jello, yogurt or some nuts. Of course just do some light form of exercise it doesn't have to be like strength training or anything just walking around the park will help.

I think light exercise will not cause enough muscle damage to reduce muscle mass and it might actually keep them the same size but if I do something intense then the muscle damage is more plus the deprivation of protein will reduce it's recovery resulting in the reduction of my muscle size. What do you think?

rice does not necessarily make you gain weight, it is the other foods that you eat with it that do. The problem with depriving yourself of food, especially when you do not know which will make you burn fat and which does not, is that after shedding weight at the beginning, you would end up with the same weight eventually which will make you wonder why. The good thing is that there are many nutritionist who are no longer jumping in to the fad of counting calories, starvation, or crash diets. They design diet plans that suggest which food you can eat, really eat and not just taste. I am working on a website about this at present, you may check my page. In this diet, you may eat French toast, steaks, buffalo wings and many other amazing recipes you thought before was not good for dieters. But of course, there is responsibility involved here. First, you have to determine your body type and then design your day by day diets and stick with it, you will burn fat by eating. Then again, no matter what your body type is, there are a lot of recipes and dishes that would fit you, so you are not stuck with the same meal plan daily. I hope that would work for you.

Rice? Well, rice is a carbohydrate so I need that so that will not go away. And whoever said that rice will make you gain weight is just a person that is overeating. My teacher in the fitness training class is 50+ years old and he kept his weight the same for 25 years now, he is still stronger than most people including me. Yup all these fad diets don't work. He said as long as you don't overeat you won't gain weight. He said if you want to lose weight just cut your food intake in half because even if you workout but you still eat too much, you will not lose much. And it totally makes sense to me now. Counting your caloric intake depending on your daily activities should do. I know that our digestive system uses energy to digest our food but how exactly does your diet work? You said burn fat by eating, what does that mean? How is fat burned? How does the adipose tissue get smaller in size with your diet? How will food burn the fat when it is food that keeps it's size? I'm sorry but it sounds like another fad diet to me, please tell me more because I might be wrong.

try going to www.drlam.com (Dr. lam is a nutritionist) and search for fat and cholesterol and you will know how good fat help burn fat, but the gist is that good fat produces more energy allowing for more efficient fat burning by the body. "Fats aid absorption by carrying vitamins A,D,E and K into the cells... fat does not increase blood sugar level as fast as carbohydrates"

I am planning to do something with my weight too, but my plan is I am going to skip breakfast and dinner, and only having lunch with complate menu like charbo, vegetable, fruit, meat or fish for protein. I will of course do some exercise in between. I usualy joging around my house for about three or four times in a week. I start with my weight 63 Kg and plan to reduce it to 50Kg . I thing this is a good idea to share to check whether it is going to work or not. Nice share!

Are you just planning to lose weight? Then just cut your food intake in half of what you regularly eat. when you eat lunch only eat half. when you eat breakfast only eat half. When you eat dinner only eat half of it. This way you will not gain as much and if you workout and train you can lose more weight.

I would think having a little of all for all meals would make you feel more satisfied. I am thinking that cardio exercise will also help. I mainly eat veggies with a very few meats since I am also trying to lose a few pounds. Eating the protien at night will make you feel full all night which is a bonus. I think your plan will work. Take your vitamins and make sure you are eating enough eating to little will lover your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight.
