So I am overweight. Very much so and I need to lose weight. I don't look as overweight as I am, most the fat is probably around my organs and heart. My mother is really worried for me blah blah. I already have a workout plan that I have been doing (Running and swimming on alternating days with weight lifting on running days as well ans some insanity work outs sprinkled in)
The Holidays are here. But I need help as far as eating. Generally I have been eatling lots of soup, crackers, noodles, salad... but now I need to eat less. I am getting off of a med that retains weight and makes it that much harder to lose it so what can I eat?
Like fruit, but how much? I don't want to starve myself exactly, but kind of just go cold turkey and barely eat just not sure what will help me avoice dizziness and such. The picture is me now. Thanks in advance! (I just don't want to die young)
(Serious) Help me be less fat?

If you main concern is eating, with the holidays and all the bad things coming, you can indulge. And it's actually good to. Just do it in moderation. I personally just wildly revamped my diet. I'm looking to drop about 10-15 before I start going hard on exercising. It's been about 3 weeks and I'm down 7 lbs. going from practically only drinking coke all day and eating whatever junk I wanted to 1 coke a day (I have sinus issues that the carbonation legitimately helps with, plus the caffeine) a vanilla iced coffee and a 20 oz Gatorade during lunch for flavor. I drink nothing but water the rest of the day. My diet consists of a choc chip clif bar, baby carrots (just fill a small ziploc bag) an apple, a turkey and swiss (two slices of turkey, one of cheese) with a little mayo (olive oil mayo) sandwich (wheat bread). I take a "lunch bag" size thing of chips and some sandwich crackers (sometimes I eat sometimes not) and dinner is a little baked chicken with some rice and some green, either a small salad or broccoli. Or a grilled chicken salad that I put shredded carrots a little cheese, a little dressing, and cut up hard boiled egg. That's my current food, hope it helps!
This helped a lot thank you! I had been eating more that way last semester but I was abroad so we had to cook and didn't have homework often. thanks for the advice and encouragement!
Whatever you do remember that it's a lifestyle change and it's not going to happen overnight! You need to start slow. But like you mentioned don't go completely cold turkey because it will not work. You will rebound! As far as exercise I would recommend walking! It's free and you can just put your earbuds in and zone out! It's pretty relaxing, low stress on your joints, and you will notice losing weight! Swimming is also great exercise too! If you start with something like P90x or insanity I think you might get burned out on the exercise.
The only time it ever worked for me was when I went cold turkey haha when I start slow I use it as an excuse not to be as disciplined as I know I can be. I loved Insanity when I did it with my dad and I was bigger then I think. I hate not feeling it you know? But walking is good advice I need to do it more. I got an app that has been helping, Thanks for the advice!
I was pretty chunky and worked my way down by doing a cucumber, carrot, beetroot, pear, mint, and spinach smoothie juice thing in the morning. A wrap with cheese, carrot, capsicum, cucumber and sometimes Tuna or salami for lunch and then a Isowhey shake for dinner or something without carbohydrates like bread, pasta, etc.. I would allow myself one thing with carbohydrates like that (the wheat wrap for lunch). To kickstart me I just went on food supplements called Isowhey for a week (lost 5kg) and then started incorporating good but yummy food. Replace chips with pork crackle or beef jerky for a bit of a "better" snack and don't be too hard on yourself. It's okay to indulge every now and again. Another good breakfast I did was an egg white omelette (allergic to yolks) with salami or beef and cheese so so good. Message me if you need any help!
Excersise and diet is all it needs there is no magic cure other than that. You are not too bad actually so won't take much if you just want to lose a bit of weight.
Thanks, you are right. Truthfully, the only thing keeping me from being faithful to my workouts is life. I am in 6 classes and have two jobs so mostly swimming and walk/running is all I have time for but I need to stop making excuses it's just once I get consistent I have 80 billion finals to take.
