Any Good Diet Plan Tips and Advice?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: 2 eggs, diet plan, dinner salad, egg whites, lunch salad, protein shake, stomach area, wheat toast, whole wheat — Ruby @ 7:02 am

What’s this week’s diet tips question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: I’m 5′ and weigh around 115, but i want to lose 15-20 pounds. Would the following menu be good to follow?
Breakfast: 2 eggs, or egg whites (would whole wheat toast be a smart add-on or a poor decision? sometimes if i dont get carbs in the morning, i don’t feel as satisfied)
Lunch: Salad or protein shake (can anyone reccommend some yummy ones?)
Dinner: Salad, with either grilled chicken, or avocado, or beans, or similar stuff.
I go to the gym around 5 days out of the week, so would this be good to power me up for my workouts, but still allow me to lose weight? Would having fruit smoothies (just fruit in a blender with ice) for breakfast sometimes be too much sugar?
Any additional tips?? sorry this was long, i just wanna find out what will work best

Just so everyone knows, i wanna lose this weight to get the blubber off my thighs and stomach area, not to go crazy with my weight and be super skinny

Answer: Breakfast- eat 1 egg with yolk at least once a week. Egg whites, heck i eat them 2x a day sometimes. It’s okay to have toast in the morning. I do. Add fruit and some water and you’ll be good to go.

Lunch- Protien shakes? ehh I sometimes use half a bannana, ice, honey, and peanut butter. I recommend a salad and add protiens like turkey or grilled chicken with lots of veggies and no dressing.

Dinner- thats fine, add some veggies maybe?
Add snacks too! eat granola bars, or rice cakes and salsa for a filling treat. Rice cakes are 35 calories a cake and top it with salsa and eat away!

Is Everything Ok with My Diet? Tips :)?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: apples, chicken breast, coffee and tea, crunches, diet tips, egg whites, pushups, tangerines, turkey breast — Ruby @ 7:01 am

We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:

Question: soo i’ve started with an diet and it looks like this:

i’m eating plain meat such as …chicken breast , turkey breast fish ( but mostly chicken breast)
vegetable , and egg whites … i combine these things …. i drink alot of water , some coffee and tea ,,, from fruits i eat tangerines and apples……and everyday i eat around approximately 5-8 cookies ( they are small btw ….as a treat) ….

am i doing everything ok? any tips ?

oh and its too cold outside for jogging and stuff…. so im doing 50 pushups and 100 crunches …. any tips for workout in apartment?

thanx for responses in advance

enyoy!
peace ^^
i

Answer: the chicken/ turkey/ fish is good, vegies- good, egg white- good, but consider the yolk, it will give more protein, water- good, straight black coffee is best- limit your dairy, as a lot of it is fattening, tea- good, but again with the dairy, and watch the amount of sugar you put in, fruits- again good, watch the cookies, as although they are small, eaten in vast quantities can reverse even the strictest of diets!
the workouts good, just maybe get a yoga mat and stretch out your muscles in the morning, do a few more exercises, because doing it in the morning will kick start your metabolism and get it to burn calories faster throughout the day.
hope this helps!

Started My Diet Today. Tips? Advice?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: balsamic vinegar, bmi, calories, different foods, egg whites, exact weight, hardboiled eggs, nutrition info, portion control — Ruby @ 7:02 am

What a great diet tips question:

Question: So today was the big day for me and hopefully this time it’ll be something significant and long term.

I am 17 years of age and have a BMI over 50.
I don’t know my exact weight but I am somewhere between 350-375.
I know that for skinny people, 15lbs is a HUGE interval to be in between, but once you reach a certain weight, 15lbs means nothing.

I have a few days off work so I thought that it was best to start now so I could really plan ahead with all my free time and possibly prepare meals to bring to work, etc etc.

Since it was my day off, I slept through breakfast.

I just had lunch and I had:

2 Hardboiled Eggs - 80 Calories Ea.(for whole egg) But I only had the egg whites. So..?
1 Can of Tuna.- 120 Calories.
Bowl of Salad - Not Sure. No nutrition info.
1/2 tsp- olive oil. 15 Calories.
1 tbsp- balsamic vinegar.

I mixed it all together and had an awesome lunch.
Between preparation and the actual meal, I drank two glasses of water.

Added all together it’s about 300 calories.

Is this okay?
Should I have more/less/different foods?

Any advice is helpful.
Oh, also, I need tips for dinner!
I know that salad and steamed frozen vegtibles are on the menu but my mom prepares dinner.
Any tips on portion control- what to eat?

Another also, as you can tell my weight, running won’t be easy.
I plan to walk for about 15-30 mins maybe now-ish or after dinner.
Any other exercise you can suggest?

Thank you!!
**The Balsamic Vinegar was only 5 Calories.

Another question.
Other than calories, is there anything else I should be looking out for?
OR does low calories=always good?

I’m new to this.

Answer: Walking is great to get you started. Try to see food as fuel you need for energy. I would choose more filling meals, pasta, oatmeal etc to last you from one meal to the next. It helps to cut out the snacking. Also try to avoid sitting in the kitchen, it’s just too handy to scoff fatty things. Bananas are great for giving you a boost of energy. Before eating anything that you know you really shouldn’t, ask yourself, "on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do I need this?", if you really want it, have it and walk 30min’s extra.

Diet, Can I Loose Fat Like This, Any Tips?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: cereal, egg whites, peice, protein bar, protein shake, snack, string cheese, tiny bit, whole wheat bread — Ruby @ 7:01 am

Keep the diet tips questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: hey im 19 and have good muscle put a few years of being in active has given me a tiny bit of fat only on my low belly and my back is not as cut as it used to be.

so i tried to chang my diet and its as followed.
the diet doesnt change its.
morning 7 egg whites 1 cup cereal.
snack protein shake
lunch 10 0z chicken 2 slice of whole wheat bread veggies
dinner salmon or steak and veggies.
snack protein bar 1 peice of string cheese.

i started at 155 and after 9 days im up 3-4 lbs.
i assume its muscle because how could i gain fat??? i lift everyday and cardio every other day.
my intake is 200g protein. only 80 carbs a day.

will i loose some fat like this i want my abs back !!!
any tips or if im on the right track let me know

Answer: Hey man if i were you, i would reduce the carbs to at least below 40 grams if you are going to lose fat. I mean you are eating 200 grams of protein, which is able to conpensate with the lack of carbs. With that much protein you might as well eliminate all carbs or reduce the protein to 80 grams and up your fat intake drastically.

Losing Fat takes time but I am sure this will work for you. Good Luck, and have fun with it.

By the way, always remember to carb binge once in a while
