[Anonymous]

Here's the deal. I am 5'3 and weigh 176. I have never in my life felt this fat.I have had 4 children and my job consists of me sitting down all day long in front of a computer screen which means no exercise.I joined a gym two months ago and have been eating healthy for the two months.I run on the treadmill, I do the elliptical, I do the leg press, I do several ab machine/workouts..I haven't saw any weight loss. literally none..still at the same weight.I do feel better but not getting the physical results I desire.I also don't want to take pills and don't have insurance to see a Dr. for advice.

Dos

- Eat lots of vegetables. 4+ servings. French fries don't count. Leafy greens.

- Get more protein. Highests sources are beans, seeds, fish, meat, eggs, lentils, nuts, cheese.

- Eat healthy fats such as saturated and monounsaturated. But use sparingly because because of their high calorie density. Butter on vegetables, coconut oil for cooking, olive oil on salad. If you believe the myths about saturated fat, do some research. It's actually not that bad.

- Eat frequently, 3-4 meals/day, with one snack in between them. Also helps increase metabolism. Starving yourself tells your body to store fat.

- Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day

- Lift weights and build muscle (girls don't worry, estrogen stops you from being buff). Do some cardio, but not as much as lifting weights. Less than 30 minutes every 2 days. Muscle is better because it continues to burn callories even after you workout, while cardio only burns when it's being done.

- Sleep properly, take a multivitamin, increase nutrients, decrease toxins.

- Variety is the key to health. So many people eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. Or only one type of fruit, vegetable, meat, and nut. This lacks micro nutrients.

Donts

- Don't eat much sugar. Don't eat candy, pops, juices, packaged snack foods, popular cereals, etc with added sugar. (IF YOU MUST, have very little not often, and be mindfull of it. Enjoy it. Sitting in front of TV chowing down on chips is not being mindfull, that's how people overeat.)

- Don't eat most "Sugar free" labeled foods if they have aspartame, it's a poison. Don't eat any foods with "High Fructose Corn Syrup", that's even worse than sugar.

- Don't eat foods with processed flours like "enriched wheat flour". It has no vitamins and just turns into sugar in the body. Basically almost all packaged grain based foods like cookies, crackers, etc. Eat 100% whole grains.

- Eat less starchy carbohydrates like white breads, fries, potatos, rice.

- Don't eat "low fat" labeled foods, they are higher in sugar, and sugar is what makes you fat. Eating fat does NOT make you fat. You need fat, your cells and brain is made up of of fat. Excess fat is what you don't want, and that comes from calories, and bad fats like in vegetable oils.

- Don't eat vegetables oils such as canola oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated oils, margarine, shortening. They are NOT healthy like the food companies want you to believe. They are highly processed, oxidized, high in omega 6, and low in omega 3 (the good ones). When you have a high 6/3 ratio, you get inflammation. Inflammation and OXIDIZED cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease and others.

First of all: You have to be really patient with this and take it slowly. All those rapid-weight-loss-things should seriously be forbidden (many actually are here in Europe) as they are a serious threat to your health.

Second: Doing gym is to put the cart before the horse. When you do muscle training of this kind you just replace fat by muscle. It's healthier of course but it doesn't change the figure that much.

Here's what my doctor adviced me (here we are forced to have a health insurance - good thing, you can go to any doctor at any time).

Start moving:

- One hour of walk on foot a day. How are you going to work? How far is it? What about walking (if possible)? Make it at least one hour per day. Don't use elevators but stairways.

- Go running 2 to 3 times a week for at least 30mins.

Change your diet:

- Eat a lot of fruits and fresh vegetable (e.g. fresh salad instead of cooked carrots or the like). Also eat enough fibres to enhance you bowl functions (found again in fresh fruits, vegetables, etc.)

- Change greasy meat (e.g. pork, greasy beef) to chicken, turkish cock, fish, etc.

- Do not completely cut out candies, etc. but use them as a reward. One piece of chocolate for every apple or something the like. Your boy gets used to this kind of reward and you'll notice how much you suddenly like fruits and vegetables ;)

That's the tips my doctor gave me years ago. It took longer time (around 9 months) until it was really visible but it worked fine and I'm still on a good weight now! (before: 92kg/202lbs now: 80kg / 176lbs, I'm 180cm = 5ft 11in)

Don't go by the scale weight. Does your body look better? Do your clothes fit the same? You seriously could be gaining muscle if you went from sedentary to all that working out.

What do you do to eat healthy? You need to figure out your body. Some people are carb sensitive, and if you eat a low fat diet, you might not lose.

Try watching carbs, don't go LOW carb, just watch them, and keep an eye on calories. Also, maybe just do one type of workout per day, you don't need to do everything at once.

Hey. Losing weight takes time, it doesn't just happen. Try going out for a short run every day, that will help more than a gym

Losing weight takes much more time than just expecting results two months in, you're doing just great, keep it up!
