Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here: (OP)
I am making this thread to help and motivate the brothers and sisters who want to lose weight.. I realize many of you actually want to pack on some pounds so this isn't for you..
enter the food you are having and don't exceed it in caloric intake..
Now I wouldn't advise losing more than a pound a week but some of you might opt for two. Please be mindful that even though your body will breakdown your fat reserves to make up for the deficit it will also breakdown muscle and I won't get into the biochem of that perhaps one of those who newly entered medical school can wow us by listing their fatty acid synthesis and breakdown cycle but we are not interested in that for the purposes of this thread unless you really want to be convinced, know that your body on daily basis has to use energy to filter your waste, detoxify you and pump your tissues full of O2 amongst thousands of other physiological and biochemical pathways..
so to cut down all the mumbo jumbo this is about all you need a diary:
So you wake up and document what you have had I'd also advise a food scale for those of you awful at guesstimating with a single serving is but if you are not then you just put down everything and calculate:
for instance today I had 225 calories for breakfast broken down to:
One English Muffin 120 calories
one Pastrami slice 30 calories
one slice of american cheese 55 calories
one coffee with coffee mate 20 calories
taking the total to 225 for breakfast
Dinner (or lunch) depending on your perspective I had
1/4 cup white beans with tomato sauce 198 calories
Indian fried rice 221 calories
taking my dinner total to 419 calories for a total of 644 consumed
the last meal of the day I'll probably have cereal but you get the picture my daily caloric intake doesn't exceed 1200 (and as I said you can determine that using the scale above) so I have 556 calories left on my scale which I guess I can also have a snack a banana or something if I want..
_________________________________
so if you want to carry on this thread at the end of the week you can report your energy level and weight loss (or not)
If your body type is a certain way hereditary then don't you think it would be unhealthy to dump fattening unhealthy food in the body just to look a certain way? Consider it a blessing honestly unless you're declared an anorexic by a medical doctor and have all the features including that baby fine hair called lanugo and your menstrual cycle has stopped due to malnutrition. Gaining weight is done in the opposite way you lose it .. just pack on the calories and become sedentary.

My experience with mothers including my own is that they're never happy with the way you turn out. You could be a neuro-surgeon astronaut with 11 perfectly gorgeous Hitler's dream type boys, juggling job, career a husband and house all immaculately and they'll still find something to criticize or some perfect other kid in the family with which to compare you to & highlight to all your shortcomings .. If you're pleasing Allah swt then that is all that matters.. all the other stuff doesn't matter. I don't advocate being unhealthy or anorexic but people who are usually unhealthy are overweight and usually due to their weight from DM to HBP to GERD all brought on by their life style.. why make such a trade?

I think ectomorphs are pretty lucky you guys can eat without worrying about gaining weight! (but doesn't mean unhealthy food won't affect your insides).

then please forgive the crude term 'to hell with the neighbors' -- You can't please everybody so you might as well please yourself.
I am 5'5 and 123 lbs al7mdullilah trying to go down to 115 lbs.. When women get pregnant they gain an average of 25lbs some more but recommended is 25lbs many of them are unable to take that weight off and with subsequent pregnancies in a row and not breastfeeding they balloon to something so unhealthy. I know so many sisters with that problem and it is really sad because they're always sick or getting surgery for something.. Mostly because their bones and ligaments can't support their weight and end up with complications from the surgery itself including collapsed lungs.. A person really needs to look ahead.. We can't decide whether or not we'll have kids but if you decide to and Allah swt blesses/gifts you with them then why risk all those complications?

That actually sounds like a low calorie plan to me, but its good that you managed to benefit from it. I think its also good that your nafs is not directed towards food. I think there is a hadith referring to it, while I think it is mainly referring to what one says I it is also related to nafs related to consumption.
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (i.e. his tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him."

jazakallah for quoting this hadith.......
Next time I will read it infront of my mother.
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
I believe that hadith refers to what the mouth utters, which will spill people a great fall in hell 70 years..
but there indeed many ahadiths about the ills of overeating:
9. In Muslim and Bukhari: “The believer eats with one stomach while the kafir eats with seven stomachs.” Meaning: The believer eats with the manners of Islam and in moderation, while the kafir eats based on desires and gluttony and so he eats with seven stomachs.
From Abi Barza that the Prophet (sas) said: “My greatest fear for you is the appetites of transgression with regard to your stomachs and your privates and the inclinations which lead astray”. (Ahmad)
Ibn Umar(RA): A man said to Ibn Umar(RA): Shouldn’t I bring you some jawarish? Ibn Umar(RA) said: What is that? He said: Something which aids in digesting your food after you eat. Ibn Umar(RA) said: I have not eaten to being full for four months. That is not because I am not able to do so, but I was with a group of people who were hungry more than they were full.
there's another about ills entering mankind through his stomach.. but my lids are getting too heavy to do any further search..
so I bid you all a gnight..
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
Thank u for sharing sis and goodnight!
There are quite a few more hadiths relating to consumption(i think about heavy stomach), though I can't remember word for word.
Of course it doesn't mean that if we see a big person we should think they are inferior, we are all different some are blessed with fast metabolism some not so fast. We also have our own nafs we need to deal with, I once saw an overweight brother who had injured his leg and he was carrying a portable chair around so that he can pray easily. It made me wonder whether I would have the heart to do what he does or whether my pride would get in the way.
