Best diet that worked for you?

[Anonymous]

Ok I go back to school the 23rd of January. I gained like 10 15 pounds over the semester. the last three weeks of finals I literally just sat on my ass and did work. and on top of it got sick the last week so I was in bed. anyways I need to get down a size or two.

does anyone know what kind of a diet I should do that worked for you in the past. And I don't care about if you cut down to much you gain it back I know you do but I want to lose it then keep going to the gym and eating right I have done it before this time I don't wan to do low carb really it worked fast but I am sick of it. SO any ideas? I am 5'1 and I don't know about 145 pounds now :( grosss... I am good at around 130 125..i have a lot of muscle so at that weight I look fine to me.

Honestly...I hate low carb too, but try it my way. The results are incredible and I promise it'll work for you. My mom recently lost 25 lbs doing this, and I've shed 10 lbs fairly quickly. Keep your head up and give it a try, this works every time -- if you do it the right way and are fully committed to it. Let me know if you give it a go.

Per day:

3 servings of lean protein (try egg whites or hard boiled egg whites, grilled or baked chicken with spices no oil cooking spray only, fish with marinara sauce, ground turkey, anything lean and free of fat)

atleast 3 servings vegetables (steamed, no butter or added sauce - try 0-cal butter spray or seasonings. No starchy vegetables - ie avoid corn, peas, and the like. stock up on spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, butternut squash --make fries out of this by baking them -- etc.)

3 servings fruit (no starchy fruits like watermelon -- stick with pears, peaches, berries, cantelope, pineapple, etc. all in proper serving sizes. Can eat apples, but they are starchy so keep to a reasonable amount.)

Plus unlimited sugar free jello, no sugar added popsicles, coffee, splenda, etc. Stear clear of sugar.

Watch your portion sizes.

Work out at least 3x week: 30-40 mins, or try doing 20 mins in the AM and 20 mins in the PM. Both ways speed up your metabolism miraculously.

You should cut your portions down. Don't deprive yourself of all the foods you like. You will just end up feeling deprived and then because of this you will eventually binge and go way overboard and gain the weight back. Just eat smaller amounts and cut the late night snacking. Also, only eat when you are hungry. If you get bored and feel like eating even though you are not truly hungry, go do something instead of reaching for snacks. Eat very slowly also. Aim to make your meals last 20 minutes. Do 30 mins to an hour of cardio a day. If you want to do an hour but you can't do it all at once, do 2 30 minute sessions; one in the morning and one at night. Make your workout challenging, but don't make it so hard that you will eventually give up.

If you want to know a good actual diet diet, I would go with weight watchers. They give you a certain amount of daily points that you can consume each day depending on your age and weight. Every food is worth a certain number of points. They tell you all of the right portion sizes as well. You weigh in once a week and go to a meeting. The great thing about weight watchers is that you actually can eat desserts and stuff as long as you eat the right portion.
