    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..

    This is how we'll start:

    you click on this link:

    http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

    enter your weight height etc. and it will let you know how many calories you ought to be having per day.

    two

    portion control

    you can use this link:

    http://www.thecaloriecounter.com/

    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)

    as an addendum to the above many of you will want to check with your doctor before embarking on this journey and please always take a daily multivitamin with minerals since you can lose many nutrients in the process of losing weight..

    also don't forget a light exercise you don't want to lose weight and have your skin hanging there..

    There are similar sites which you could also use to gain weight.
    The principle is the same, but there are option for losing one or two pounds a week as well as for gaining one or two pounds a week.

    Needless to say, those who want to lose weight always envy those who try to gain, and those who want to gain cannot understand why the others are finding it so hard to lose weight ...

    The geeky 'put-everything-you-eat-and-everything-you-exercise' works well for me, and I have used it successfully in the past.
    It is time consuming though to put everything into the computer.
    (And don't snack on sweets and treats while you are doing so! )

    Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:

    I have also read the recommendation not to go below 1200 calories per day if you are dieting for extended periods, unless you are on a medically supervised weight loss program or after consultation with your doctor.
    Diets which are less than 1200 calories per day are not nutritionally adequate and over a period of time, you may not be getting enough of certain nutrients.

    Rashad, you could try some simple principles without counting calories. I can understand that some, even many people might find that quite tedious.

    • Assess you food habits and try to reduce those high calorie foods, such as cheese, pastries, sweets, cream etc.
    • Allow yourself ONE treat only per day
    • Reduce your meal portions in general
    • Fill up on extra fruit and vegetables.
    • Try to avoid sauces, as they may contain fat
    • Exercise!

    I would make permanent lifestyle changes. I think you should avoid diets because they are not useful in the long-term. Do some research and learn to eat healthily. Exercise everyday. I used to exercise 20 minutes everyday and after couple of months, I increased this to 60 minutes. I prefer to exercise in the morning. Don't rush...try to get into the habit of it.

    I don't believe in dieting or dieting fads 'the hollywood all you can eat cookie diet, or atkins diet or this diet' you can in fact eat all you want and lose weight, you just can't eat as much as you want.. one oreo cookie as opposed to 6 for instance.. portion control in a 40% carbs 30% fats 30% proteins balanced fashion. I can't think of a better way than writing down what you are having in your initial stages.. afterward your body will simply accustom itself to eating less..

    No! If you eat less and exercise more then chances are you're also loosing valuable muscle mass along with the fat - and that's bad! It's more about eating with moderation and having a balanced exercise routine that focuses on cardio + weight training in order to burn out the fat and retain (or increase) muscle. And don't diet! Cut down certain foods like rice etc, but don't get on a diet program that doesn't take into account your personal physique and calorie needs.

    Same thing with wanting to gain weight - you need to increase calorie intake and also hit up the gym and focus on weight training and bulking up. You'll gain weight via muscle as opposed to fat.

    Thank you, sis. I was thinking about losing weight but actually all I've lost was motivation
    Now winter starts in my country - what do you think, is it healthy to reduce energy input this time of the year or shall I wait until spring to get a better result?
    I have some disorder with my immune system, now I was told I can eat fat but should avoid carb... that will be the most difficult part for me.

    Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:

    I like this idea. I've been trying to lose weight for a long time and if i don't watch what i eat even for a few days i tend to gain weight quickly. In the past month, i gained a few kg so now i'm exercising daily and watching what i eat. exercise is necessary if you want to keep the weight off. With exercise, you build muscle which actually burns more calories so your required daily calories increase which in turn helps you lose more weight. on the other hand, dieting without exercising makes you lose muscle and that lowers the calories you need so you have more difficulty keeping the weight off. as soon as you stop dieting, you tend to gain weight. Also, muscle is leaner than fat, so if you gain muscle and burn fat by combining exercise with dieting, you tend to look thinner. Another thing that helps in losing weight is to avoid certain types of food, like rice and pasta. Salads on the other hand are a dieter's friend. tomatoes and cucumbers are my favorite.
