A tough diet tips question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: Hi to everyone reading this! Ok so Ive been on a diet for like 3-4 weeks already, I got to be honest it aint easy!, ive lost 14 pounds so far with sum pills that boost my metabolism. I have a friend who suggested i go to the gym for like 2-3 hours everyday! I was like omg thats too much for me considering i started weighing 252 and now im at 238 im 5′9". I decided to go to the gym everyday for an hour mon-fri, I of course started geting muscle and condition or whatever, but my bones started hurting after 3 weeks, so lets say i would do the treadmill for 30 mins at a 4.0 speed, after my bones started hurting i could only do half the time. After that I noticed it wasnt my muscles but my bones because i had difficulty walkin, sitting etc. I decided like a week ago to keep on my diet but give the gym a 4 day rest. and today i went and i felt really good, i could do even more, my bones didnt hurt or anything, I just felt like wow u know? My concern was that if i took a break from the gym i would loose condition or muscle, but i guess not? IF UR A HEALTH INSTRUCTOR OR KNOW ALOT BY EXPIRIENCE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I COULD IMPROVE ON OR TIPS IDEAS PLEASE, My goal is to weigh 165 . So this is my diet:
In the mornings like at 7 am or 8, i drink my pill, then I go to the gym for an hour, then i come home and i always eat a fiberous fruit, like a green apple, and then a little of whatever is for breakfast, no bread or soda, I try to satanise that. I drink lots of water and i pee soo much. for lunch i try to eat portions and at the most 2 tortillas, after that i dont really eat at nights, but the bad thing is that on sundays after church i have so many cravings i slip very little not a whole lot. well thanx for reading, id appreciate tips 
Answer: You should definitely continue going to the gym at least 4 days a week. You should give yourself one day off at least every week. The key is to not exercise the same group of muscles every day. Give your muscles time to heal up or they won’t be able to handle the stress from everyday. If you are mostly doing cardio and not strength training, I suggest you do one day where you really push yourself and the next day go light and easy. A great method I have found when it pertains to doing cardio is finding intensities for yourself on a scale of 1 to 10. Level 1 is like laying down or sleeping and level 10 is the absolute max output your body can do. So when you start on the treadmill(it’s much easier with machines since you can set the speed/resistance!) or an elliptical, etc, start yourself on your level 5 intensity. That could be just a regular walking pace or maybe a slower walking pace. After two minutes go up a level in intensity(either by setting the machine a little harder or walking faster) to level 6. Then after that minute go to level 7, then another minute to level 8 and another minute to level 9. So at level 9 you should really be feeling it and you should really be pushing yourself. After one minute at level 9 go back down to level 6. Then work your way up again minute after minute to level 9. After doing this for a set period of time(I usually do 20 minutes total because it is such an intense workout), when you have 3 minutes left you should be at level 9, then two minutes left try to strive for level 10. You might get there or you might not. It really depends on your energy level for the day. But always try to do it, you might get there when you thought you couldn’t! And then the final minute you should go back to level 5 for a cooldown. You can continue doing a cooldown if you want, a lot of machines have that automatic 5 minute cooldown period. I love this method in cardio and I find it highly effective because it doesn’t allow your body to get used to the exercise. As you get faster and stronger you will have new intensity levels so just move them up as you progress. You can’t outgrow this because of that.
You should definitely do weight training at least 3 days a week too. You should break up the workouts into two or more different groups. An example is doing all upper body on one day and then you can do lower body the next day or a few days later. As long as you give your body days of rest in between workouts you will be fine. The more muscle you have the more calories and fat you will burn. You will also feel better and feel like you can do more in the gym and at home too.
I also suggest eating 4-6 small meals a day and make sure most of it is protein, complex carbs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, fish, and lean meats. Protein is a huge helper in weight loss because it makes you feel fuller for a long period of time and it helps your muscles. The healthier the food you eat the less you’ll want the junk. Don’t keep it in the house and it will be easier to stay on track.
I just love answering these diet tips questions. Here’s another:
Question: As you can see, i started working out on my treatmill about 4 weeks ago, and so far i have notice that my pants no longer fit me like they used to which i find really good. But my issue is that i don’t know if what i’m eating is right. This is my diet. for breakfast, I eat wheat bread that brown breed, white cheese with really low calories, and butter with really low calories. For lunch i eat a small portion of rice, beans, meat, and vegetable. Later i eat diet cookies for snacks, because i get hungry. For dinner i eat an apple, cereal frootlops, and fat free milk. I also run and do fast walking on my treadmill for 40 minutes. My questions is, is my diet correct, because i’m not really good with diet. Also, when i will see good results, the only results i had is my legs are skenier a little bit, my stomach is flat, and the clothes i used to wear no longer fit me.
i’m 18 years old. i weight about 160 pounds, and my height is 5′10.
Answer: No that is not a good diet. Try this:
Breakfast: whole grain toast, yogurt and fat free milk
Lunch: Serving of lean meat, vegetables and brown rice
Snack: nuts and dried fruit
Dinner: The same as lunch but different types to get a variety
A big part of loosing Weight is changing your diet. If you are more of a grassier (eats all day about six small meals) that is actually proven to make you loose weight because it keeps your metabolism going all day. Also try to eat slowly because it takes your brain 20min to realize its full. So try to eat a hand full of nuts 20min before you eat a meal so you will feel full and eat less. A daily exercises routine is also a good thing! Hoped this helped
What a great diet tips question:
Question: Okay, I know all the facts on diets and fitness. I know dieting is bad and one hour of exercise is good, but I am a little confused. I think I can cut down calorie intakes to about 1600 per day, with some sacrifices on some unhealthy snacking but it’s harder for me to get an hour of exercise per day. I take the stairs, I walk instead of taking the bus, but it’s hard to get in that cardio. I run and jumprope and play catch during the weekends, but weekdays are so busy. I live on the second floor so I can’t really do any cardio in the house, since it makes too much noise, and I can’t get a treadmill because it won’t fit and I had one, but we had to throw it out since I moved. I can’t afford a gym membership, either. Any tips on how to squeeze in exercise, and how can I squeeze in an hour of jogging or just moderate walking to my busy schedule? Thanks.
Answer: ok look. everyone who says they do little stuff like walking up stairs and walking just wants to say they workout. yes i do drive. yes, i will take the elevator. but i run during weekdays. i do 3miles in around 16-17 minutes or longer milage or other cardio. i also swim a lot. walking is a big load of s***. you either run till you puke, or you wont get amazing results. catch isnt anything. so what if you dont have a treadmill. god made ground for a reason. he wanted man to run on it. so run on the gorund.
