My Own Weight Loss Diet, Not The Best In The World, But Should Do The Trick For Me, What Do You Th?
Posted by Zolly | Under Nutrition Sunday Nov 29, 2009Okay so I was thinking
In the morning when I wake up do half hour on the cross-trainer as it is the only piece of fitness equipment I like and would do first thing in the morning as I don’t usually have time the rest of the day, please dont suggest weights etc. as I just don’t want to do all that.
For breakfast I would have a bowl of cheerio’s and a tall glass of orange juice which is about 270 calories.
A pack of Walkers baked crisps in the day like in college which is 99 calories and pretty healthy ish lmao.
A weight watchers meal for dinner as I think they taste lush and they are healthy and they average 300 calories, well the ones I like to eat do anyway and I was also guna have a Muller rice as they are lush and pretty low in fat and high protein and that’s about 220 calories.
And I know your not suppose to eat in the evening but tough its better than feeling horrible and craving food which will prob lead me to eating my fridge, I was thinking 2 crumpets with tiny amount of light butter and a bit of jam which is about 160 calories and low.
Also in the morning I take cod liver oil and multi-vitamin supplements just to boost up and stuff.
So on average im on about 1100-1200 calories according on how many cups of tea I have with skimmed milk and sweeteners as I loveee tea and a few glasses of pepsi max as its low with like 2 calories a glass and nice.
Right now this is not the worlds best diet packed with every fruit and veg in the world but I think it would suit me, it has a fair amount of protein in it, pretty low in fat and im on a decent amount of calories and doing my half hour of exercise in the morning and my main goal is to lose weight!
Weirdly enough I know a lot about nutrition and dieting ect but I think you should also think about what makes you feel good and happy and not feeling like your actually on a depressing diet.
Right so I am an 18 year old 5 foot 2 female and at this moment in time im 9stone 6, I use to be 8 stone and healthy but things happened I felt crappy I ate I shot up a stone and a half meaning all my clothes don’t fit and my confidence has shot right out the window, now I want to get down to my 8stone size again as I know that’s when im happiest and confident even though the size I am now is fine and normal I still feel better as my old one and want it back!
Now basically Im thinking when I lose all my weight I stick to what I said up there in my diet but then add the stupid amounts of fruit and veg to maintain my weight and stay healthy as that’s practically what I did before on a normal day to day basis and I wasn’t even on a diet I just was normal 
Now there we go what do you think?
Thanks x
Diets like these are o.k for a short time but not months. There is no fruit or veg in there or meat, eggs, seeds, etc. If you ate a little of those foods, you wouldn’t need extra supplements. In fact this diet is totally unhealthy.
You keep going on about everything is low fat, that is not the problem. It maybe low fat, but all those things you are eating are full of sugar and salt, two of the worse things you can put in your body. The Weight Watchers meal is probably the worse for salt and sugar. The Muller rice, again, will be full of sugar.
You would be far better doing your exercise in the early evening to burn off what you have eaten rather than do it in the morning.
And it doesn’t appear that you drink water. You must have lots of water for clear skin, bright eyes and feeling of well-being. Tea is not water because of the caffeine and tanning in it, same as the coke.
I can totally relate to you. I used to be a Size 0, now I’m about 8-10 US. I don’t know I feel so mad at myself but then again. Okay, there is nothing wrong with your diet to start with. As long as you feel like urself and fine while on a diet, I dont reckon u need to worry. The problem is when people switch to an alien diet and cant do it in the long run. Yes, u know as a Nutrition student, I’ve read this ALL THE TIME. Dont eat after 6, dont eat after 7. And, there are places which state you must eat a bedtime snack. Its confusing aint it? Here’s the deal… its all about what ur eating at night. The perfect snack would be something SMALL. so ur better off with veggies and some protein meat. If ur not a fan, then carbs will do but make sure u go max 200 calories, not a calorie more. You will eventually lose weight, just dont go off-ur-diet! Wish u luck with being an 8, Im sure u’ll get back there.
The Cherios have quite a lot of sugar so a healthier one would be better.
The crisps are not a good idea either – lots of fat and salt. Could you try an apple instead.
You need to check the nutrition on the weight watchers meals – they are often very high in fat with not enough veg.
It seems a bit low in good calories but if it works for you I guess it is OK for a short while.
Don’t forget the exercise.
