How to lose weight?

[Anonymous]

I am 5'4 and 132 pounds. My ultimate goal weight is 120 pounds, but my goal as of now is 125 pounds. I normally snack a lot during the day (and especially after dinner). I don't want to have a specific diet and exercise plan... but if I cut snacking and just eat three reasonably-sized meals a day, do you think I will see any changes? And if so, after how long? Here's what my food consumption would look like:
-Breakfast: fruit or a 100 calorie granola bar
-Lunch: salad
-Dinner: anything my family makes (pasta, steak, pizza, etc.) but a reasonably-sized portion
I also figure skate five hours a week and do about 20 minutes of strength exercises a day (push-ups, pistol squats, pilates, etc.). I was thinking I would just try this "diet" for a month, and then continue it but in a "less strict" manner. In a month, do you think I would see changes?

I would suggest a more succulent breakfast
you should have the most caloric intake for lunch and leave the salad for dinner, you don't burn pasta in your sleep lol
don't cut out the snacks but replace them instead, juice and fruit? tea and granola bars? yoghurt and cereal? whatever you like the most in small amounts
If there's any sport you like give it a try
drink a LOT of water
yes, you will see results within the month if you stick to the newfound healthy habits lol don't indulge any snacks, no chocolate no burgers no butter.. and good luck you can do it!! 😊

Your weight and height seem to be really good, but if you want to lose weight you're going to have to decrease calories and increase your amount of exercise. Look into the right foods to eat, you always want to incorporate fruits and veggies. Protein, diary, wheat, etc. I try my best to stick to the Paleo diet which has been working for me. I've loss 10 pounds I just need to increase my exercise to lose more.

If you can you shouldn't eat three of the same size meals you should eat your biggest meal the earliest possible and get smaller throughout the day. I lost 50 pounds just by changing my meal plan I ate my biggest meal about two hours before work (I had an active job) then I would just have a snack after work. If you eat foods like pizza or pasta late or won't be able to burn any of those calories you should eat those things at lunch or earlier.

Your diet looks good with the exception of your dinner. You just have to stay away from pizza and pastas at dinner, it's actually better to eat that stuff during the day, so that way you have time to burn it off with your skating. Try switching your lunch and dinner, eat heavier during lunch and eat lighter at dinner.

you really nee to have a plan bc there's no way to know what your body is using unless you are aware of it.

it doesn't matter when you want but how much and not portion size but calories.

at your weight and activity level aim for 1 500 crores a day if you lose more than two pounds a week go up to 1 800 if you lose less than a pound a week go down to 1200 calories a day.

make sure you get at least half a gram protein per pound and lots of vegetables.

you should have 3 meals and in between healthy snacks like fruit or veggies or nuts. Just cut the calories and drink nothing but water and drink a big glass of water before each meal. Listen to your body.

I think you're at a perfect weight but try my fitness pal app. Shows you your goal weight and how much calories she would need to reach that weight and you can also plug and what food you ate. I heard juice diets work as well as apple cider vinegar

Exercise and eat properly and consistently right that is the best advice I can give you as a actual fitness professional.

If you go on a low carb diet you will shrink your stomach and lose only body fat.

You would, but it would be very gradual. Add some cardio in there to speed it up.
