Filed under: diet tips — Tags: activia yogurt, apple 1, baby carrots, blueberries, calories, carrot soup, chicken breast, healthy diet, strength training — Ruby @ 7:02 am

What a great diet tips question:

Question: I had xc practice when i first woke up..(only about 2.5 miles today, with a little bit of strength training.)
then for breakfast, I had an apple, 1 pretty big chicken breast, and a cup of homemade squash/carrot soup..so a total of about 400 calories.
then for lunch, i had a cup of blueberries, an apple, another cup of the soup from this morning, and half a chicken breast…so about 400 calories
then for dinner, i had 7 baby carrots, 1 cup of peas, 1/2 chicken breast, and 4 oz of dannon activia yogurt(70 calories)

what are some changes i should have made today? any suggestions? improvements?
Im female, 5′4”, 16 yrs old. im not overweight, but i’d still like to drop a few lbs to be more fit.

Answer: lol this question’s pretty cute since you have absolutely nothing to worry about everything you ate couldn’t be any more healthy.. i personally haven’t ever struggled with weight in a day i drink about 3mugs of hot chocolate, and i eat yoghurt for snacks.. then i might have like a bowl of noodles and some tuna mayo pasta or something i mean yeah i work out play sport and dance but you also work out so you have nothing to worry about if you were eating like.. butterfingers lol and ben and jerry’s icecream i can totally understand but you’ll easily lose weight or stay in shape with what you’re eating remember to not drop your calorie intake too low

Advice and Tips for Healthy Diet?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: diets, fruits, healthy diet, healthy food, lot of water, tea, vegetables — Ruby @ 7:01 am

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: So I am trying to lose some weight and I am not interested in these long torturing diets, I simple need advice what is the best to eat in terms of healthy food? I eat vegetables, fruits, I drink a lot of water, I stop drinking coffie or only once per day, I drink a lot of tea? What do you recomnd?

Answer: The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc.

first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..

eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.

if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.

go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.

if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.

10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…

btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.

drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well

Diet and Diet Tips for a Thirteen Year Old?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: amp, diet tips, healthy diet, low carb diet — Ruby @ 7:01 am

A diet tips question that should definitely interest you all this week

Question: i know thirteen might be ‘too young’ to start a diet but that’s what i wanna do. nothing drastic. just a healthy diet. i was thinking of doing a low-carb diet. and i just need guidelines on what to do. i know an important factor in that diet is to *not eat rice. i am filipino, spanish, and chinese. mostly filipino. and rice is what my family and i eat everyday. with every meal. i am willing to not eat rice. it’s not hard. tips would help tooo.
please&thank youuu!

Answer: Cut out all sugars & starches. No sodas, juices, cookies, candy, cakes, etc. As healthy as fruit may be, it’s natural sugars do not only not promote fat loss, they actually promote fat storage (fructose is the most lipogenic carb).

Make sure half your meals are green non starchy vegs & eat lots of protein & good fats, limit your complex carb portions to no more than your protein portion.

I am adamantly opposed to low calorie dieting because most people lose a good portion of lean tissue (including vital organs like the heart) along with fat stores. There is no nutrition in fat stores, only energy. Most people get impatient and lower their calories and increase their exercise to a point where they lose so much lean tissue that when they return to what was maintenance level eating they are now accumulating more fat stores because their caloric needs have dropped due to the loss of this tissue as well as their metabolism slowing down to work more efficiently on fewer calories & it becomes a vicious cycle of dieting and more loss (including vital organs like the heart). This stress to the vital organs cannot be healthy.
