What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
I’ve researched it and there are a lot of people who say that if I try hard enough, that I can even lose more. The most a person can lose a week without becoming ill is about 5 pounds. This is coming from my sister, who is a RN, and my doctor. So that’s pretty much perfect for me. I just need a little help.
I know what Im going to be doing exercise wise:
I will be running 30 minutes every day. While running, I will alternate my speed. 10 minutes normal speed, 5 minutes as fast as I can, 10 minutes normal, and the last 5 minutes as fast as I can go again and Im done for running that day.
I will also PROBABLY just take 2 bottles of water and weight lift with them because I can’t get actual weights. If I do end up doing this, after a week or so I will move onto soda bottles, the big ones, not the per person bottles. And I might start doing push ups the third week.
The last part of exercise will be 25 crunches every day, right after the running. When doing the fitness tests in gym, the pre recorded track we follow only goes up to 160 and I could go even more, but since Im doing 30 minutes of running, Im cooling down with some crunches from running.
Here’s where I need help:
I know Im going to eat 6 small meals every day with some fruit, veggie, or granola bar as a snack. Also, before I start drinking just water, Im going to put some pink lemonade powder in a water bottle and train myself because water is gross to me. Then after a while I will just stop using the powder and drink plain old water. But that’s all I know for food.
Can you give me the names of a few recipes that’ll help? Something I can eat maybe even everyday. Like I said, Im a 15 year old teen so I cant do a lot of hard cooking. The hardest thing I’ve made on my own before was spaghetti and meat sauce, but that’s not very healthy to eat everyday. I can’t have a lot of carbs or fattening foods. I like eggs but never raw and I definitely d not eat a lot of meat. I can eat a few chicken wings before I think about a little chickie. That happens with all meats.
ALSO, I DO NOT EAT PORK! IT IS AGAINST MY RELIGION! SO ANYTHING WITH BACON, PORK CHOPS, ETC IS A NO!
You dont have to do much, just write the names of the recipe and I’ll look it up. Again, small portions 6 times a day, so it cant be something big and DEFINITELY cant be something unhealthy.
ALSO, do you have just any plain old tips for me? Or advice? Im not one to stick to my goals so maybe something that will motivate me?
Please and if you help, thank you!
don’t eat fast food at all
don’t eat any chips, crackers or pretzels of any kind
don’t eat a lot of bread, rice or potatoes
eat and drink plenty of fat free dairy products, like cottage cheese, milk and yogurt. greek yogurt has a lot more protein. be careful with cheese, it’s a fat bomb.
forget trying to stuff meat down yourself if you don’t even like it, just eat nuts and beans instead. be careful with portion sizes. about 12 nuts is a serving and about 1/2 cup of beans is a serving.
when it comes to fruit, eat the fruit, don’t drink the juices, that’s just a glass of sugar.
another protein source is egg whites. just boil and peel the eggs and throw the yolks away.
oatmeal is filling and good for you. be careful what you add to it, though. a few raisins and a spoon of honey and sprinkle of cinnamon is good.
sweet potatoes are delicious and very filling, be careful what you add to it, a teaspoon of margarine and or honey and cinnamon.
