Weight loss workout plan
1. A bare minimum of 30 minutes of exercise every day: -at least 10 minutes of stretching a day, -and at least 20 minutes of walking or aerobic exercise a day.
2. With the exception of fruits and vegetables, eat only your most favorite foods. Because you have to keep things simple to save time, worry, and temptation, I divide all food into three groups: -meat, poultry and fish -fruits and vegetables -carbohydrates and fatty foods (including all dairy products, eggs, potatoes, popcorn and sweets)
3. Then make sure that each day you eat: -between 250 and 450 calories worth of the meat/fish group (Note: fish has fewer calories than beef, but don’t be fooled by that. You need more fish to fill you up than you do beef.) -and a bare minimum of 360 calories worth of the fruit/veggie group (more in summer). - get to use the rest of my daily calories on whatever foods from the carb/fat group I feel like eating that day. 4. When you`re buying fruits and vegetables, think "nutrition". When you`re buying any other food, think "taste" only. Avoid eating anything from the carb/fat group (even if it’s free!) that you don’t like. In fact, if any food is not a fruit/veggie or you`re not going to fondly remember its taste for a while, don’t eat it.
Why? Because, like every effective weight-loss plan, my diet involves going hungry sometimes. I discovered that it’s easier to resist the temptation to give in to hunger if you can close your eyes and think about: -how great the last thing you ate tasted, and -how great your next meal is going to taste. So I make sure that everything I eat except fruits and veggies tastes great. (And I make my fruits/veggies taste pretty good too.) To put it another way, I reward myself for going hungry not by eating more food but by eating more of my favorite foods.
5. This weight-loss plan doesn’t forbid any particular food. So nothing you could eat would mean that you had gone off the diet. No more weight swings; this diet is forever.
6. Am I on a junk-food diet? No, because: a. fatty foods are not necessarily junk food. There are plenty of delicious fatty foods that are great for you. And you need a certain amount of fat in your diet. b. Actually, there is no junk food. All nonpoisonous food (I consider alcohol poisonous) is good because it’s all stuff your body needs. I discovered the hard way that how much you eat matters more than exactly what you eat.
Losing weight wasn’t easy for me. The only way I could lose any weight at all was to concentrate primarily on one thing: reducing the calories I ate. I had to estimate, rather than carefully calculate, how much salt, minerals, and fats to eat, take a multiple vitamin every day rather than keeping track of exact vitamin intake, and trust that I’d get the nutrients I needed by balancing meat, carbs, fruit, and vegetables every day. Later, once I started to get my weight under control, I was able to work on increasing the vitamins and mineral I was eating.
