So you guys I really need help on this one..

[Anonymous]

I've been trying to lose weight for 4 years now, the first year I lost about 23 kgs, and the second I lost 10 additional kgs.. However, the 3rd and 4rth year I maintained my weight despite the effort I exert in fitness classes and stuff. I knew however that my diet was not right. Yesterday after exercise, I've been noticing that I usually screw up my diet after working out. I usually work out first thing in the morning (during my winter break). The thing is I really need to lose extra 11 kgs for prom and my graduation ceremony (you might be thinking that I have lost all the weight,but I didn't. I'm still considered to be at my "overweight" stage or whatsoever. I want to REALLY drop those 11 kgs to become 67, but I really don't have the motivation to shut my mouth and make a change in my body. It hurts REALLY bad I want to lose weight,but I have problems regarding my appetite and my willpower. Now I want to do this the right, long way. But I really want to not feel hungry after a fitness class or eat out of boredom (I realized I do that very often, and I tried to distract myself by doing other stuff, but I get even bored, so I eat instead)I really want to fit in my prom dress. I really want that. Help?

Few things you need to think:

- Think 10% exercise, 90% nutrition. It's a bit exaggerate but whatever you are training for, diet is the biggest part. Even body building, we need to look at rising Carbohydrates up.

But lowing weight, keep medium-low carbs, Good fats, high protein.

- Think Calories in, Calories out. If you burn more calories you consume, then you will lose weight. But the calories you are burning need to be those fats and carbs, okay?!

Still, if you are tired half way through the day, it means your burning energy you need to work efficiently so don't starve yourself, your body will just hold on to what it can (that fat). Instead, eat 6 meals a day, and have foods that are natural near by you so you will firstly go to them. Almonds, nuts, some salads, evening a protein shake would work.

- If you are really keen on this, you need to ensure your motivation anyway you think would work. For me, I look at food as a fuel and not a privilege. If you eat something over something better for your body, because you like the taste more, you need to cut it out.

I eat standing up, that way, I feel like I'm fueling my body what it needs and whats, not that packet of chips in the fridge that is like poison for it.

- Another thing you need to do, Eat at routine times. If you miss a time you usually eat, there's more chance you will binge eat later. So try to stick to them, and don't eat before or after you've eaten a meal. But once again, eat natural foods like whole-grains, nuts, vegetables because those are the things your body wants.

- Lastly, your workout. You say you do "Fitness classes" which is great for your heart, flexibility, endurance, and strength but it isn't ideal for your fat burning.

Fat is a complex energy source, and slow processing - So Ideal you want to do low intensity stuff that keeps you at 65% of your maximum heart heart. Slow jogging or speed walking with a friend might help you, because you can motivate each other. Meet at a specific hour each day you both can do.

You need to remember that you don't burn fat "during" the workout, but usually straight after you've finished it. Fat burns after a workout, at rest, for usually 2 hours.

Goodluck, if you need more help, contact me.

First I want to congratulate you on loosing those KG it is not easy and you have come a long way, So REALLY WELL DONE,KEEP IT UP!

Back on topic:

How to suppress appetite:

1#After a workout, instead of eating right after try going for a protein shake, They are high in protein which is good for you're body, You can get some with almost no carbs and no fat with only 120 Cal.

2#Water, Drink more of it, Keeps your stomach feel fuller and it is good for your skin (Might even lose that pesky water weight).

3#There is a supplement called "Yohimbine HCL" or just "Yohimbine" All it does is suppressing your appetite, and it is perfectly safe (Even use it myself during my cutting periods)

I would recommend ----> Yohimbine From PrimaForce

It can be purchased ----> on bodybuilding . com's website... among other places

--------

To help with the motivation:

1#Reason for starting, Remember why you started and the think about how far you have come.

2#Join Motivational people on Facebook (By liking there pages, they are great for motivation)

There are female trainers/models such as: Katie Mackintoush, Jamie Eason and so on.

Male trainers/Models such as: Kris gethin, Lazar Angelov, Jeff Seid, Steve cook and so on.

3#Bodyspace, Join bodyspace ----> on "bodybuilding . com" website

It is a really great website where you can track your progress, Find other people looking to do what you want to do or have done, Use the rest of the website which is really great, Find more motivation.

4# Bodybuilding.com , Don't let the name scare you, it is not at all just big steroid dudes, but a really friendly site which offers the best help and supplements along with a great forum. They even have 24/7 costumer support where you can call and ask about anything!

Eat carbs before a work out, and protein after a workout, don't eat anything white like white pasta, bread,etc and make sure you eat carbs for breakfast and fibre, and drink lots of water when your hungry between meals, and don't eat sweets, fast foods, just chicken, veg, and beef to start, with the odd egg for breakfast and lunch, otherwise what you do down the gym is worthless,x
