Wow remarkable work JCF, glad it all worked out in the end for you. But
now I feel bad, I weight 160 pounds and I'm only 16!!! I've been hitting
the gym 3 maybe 4 times a week but I feel that the main reason why
my body refuses to loose weight is because I have a poor diet.
Fat food all the time, soda, some fruit and vegetables occasionally
etc and its really affecting my weight lost process in a negative way.
So if anyone would be willing to help me out by letting me know how
I can eat differently move these things out of my life and swap for
some healthy/delicious alternatives it would really mean a lot. I face
the same struggles this man had just younger.
Edit: I know some people would suggest trashing the junk food, but
it's not that easy. The junk food is so good!!! also I'm not willing to try
Weight Watchers despite this man's accomplishments because I believe
it doesn't work.
Thanks everyone! To the guy who asked about my blood pressure, before I changed my life, it was at the worst bottom number 120 and top 160. Unreal. I could have died. Now it's bottom number 70-80 and top 110-120.
And to you man, it's not hard if you tell yourself I wanna do this for ME! You need the proper mindset and have to refuse this junk food. As far as a diet does, what you're doing now isn't good. Eating bad, then going to the gym. It doesn't balance out. You might burn off enough in the gym just to make yourself balance out. If you ate the proper food, then went to the gym.... you'd be on the ball. For a diet, I eat for breakfast:
- Weight Watchers Blueberry Muffin or Weight Watchers English Muffin w/Egg & Cheese. (both available in local supermarkets). Breakfast is under 200 calories.
Lunch:
- Any small Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers entree. Anything under 300 calories does it for me.
Mid-Day:
- Smart white Wonder bread, toasted with 1/3 serving of a Tuna Salad 100 calorie pack. A delicious healthy sandwich worth maybe 130 calories. Have it with a banna and your snack is not even 250 calories. Or if you're not a fruit guy.... throw in any type of Fiber/Snack bar.
Dinner:
- This is the fun part. Any bigger Healthy Choice/Lean Cuisine entree. No more than 400 calories is perfect. Have dinner with a diet coke and for a side have a 100 calorie pack of cookies. Dinner can be around 500-600 calories if you want.
And in closing... don't eat after 7 pm! This will play a big factor in your lifestyle/diet...
All the food I eat is readily available in stores. I usually food shop at Wal-Mart SuperCenter but lately the deals elsewhere have been better. On average, eating costs me around $60-$70 a week. I thought it was expensive at first. I then realized, I spent more money actually eating out!! And I was eating junk.
Thank you so much JCF, This is really helpful. I'll make sure to keep this
in mind next time I decided to hit the gym, hopefully within the next couple
weeks/months if I keep this information in mind I'll eventually lose weight
accordingly.
What I've been going off for about a 1 1/2 years is as long as I keep my
daily consumption under a total of 2000 calories, I would be fine, but I
now see the error of my ways and I plan to make a huge adjustment to
my lifestyle to the best of my abilities. I really appreciate the time you
took to help me out despite the things you could be doing instead, it
means a lot +1 For such awesome advice.
