you need to calculate your BMR to see what your ideal caloric intake should be...
I don't personally understand why anyone would want to give up being svelte, blithe and nimble for being sloth like and obese...but each is to his own..
yeah that tiny drink really surprised me.. it is funny because the larger mocha frappuccino

is about 400 calories at 16 oz..and I never have it because it is so loaded.. I was really fooled today by this godiva drink.. I am disappointed with myself..

:w:

I'm not aiming to be obese. just adding few pounds. :D I just need to follow a healthy diet + a consistent exercise routine, and at the same time try and get enough rest. insha'Allah once this snow dries off, i can go back to running.

If you're eating correctly with accordance to your metabolic needs, then this your body habitus it is slender and believe me that is a blessing.. just embrace it.. I have known many, and I mean many slender svelte people who upon marriage just balooned.. before you know it, 40 hits with a touch of essential hypertension a touch of high cholesterol then soon after type II diabetes, baldness a muffin top and then a miserable life from there and a down hill spiral until early death...

running is good, slender is good.. youth is a marvelous thing and it goes by fast..

:w:

wal'iyadu Billah. May Allah(swt) save us from that end. Ameen.
 
indeed.

I would love to lose weight. since I had Mariyya my weight has yo-yo'd and I really cant seem to do anything about it. through Ramadhan i was losing weight(not that it was my intention) but just around a kilo a day for the last 2 weeks.As soon as Ramadhan stopped I put the weight back on. Now the only thing I can guess it was is perhaps water as after Ramadhan I really didnt eat much. and in fact much less than before.

Anyway....Im gonna give some sites a go and start a calorie controlled diet a long with strict excersice inshAllah. what worries me more is the hidden damage that carrying around extra weight does. i dont want my little one to have that to deal with as she grows up and I certainly do wanna take care of my body at such a young age....

So guys....any further hints and tips?
 
You lost a kilo a day, Silver Orchid? That sounds like an awful lot to me!
The usual advice is not to lose more than 1 or 2 pounds per week.

My advice would be:

  1. Try not to snack between meals (not always easy with a little one around), or choose healthy snacks (such as the dreaded carrot sticks! LOL)
  2. Make exercise your daily routine. For example walk instead of drive, or get off one bust stop sooner and walk the rest (I don't know how easy that is in rural areas ...)
  3. Get enough sleep (apparently not sleeping changes your hormone levels and makes you more hungry in the morning)
  4. Don't skip breakfast!




I use this site to track my nutrition and exercises. I don't log my calories every day, but once in a while for a few days, to see if I am still on track.
 
:sl:

thanks Glo. Ive used that site before. ill try to stick with it. the sleep thing is definitely important. and i think i shall stock up on more fruit and veggies for snacks.

I thought it was a lot to lose too. straight after i stopped fasting tho, i stoped losing weight. Im sure ive lost many Kgs since Ive been ill too.

It might seem difficult but if you cut your weekly caloric intake by 2400 calories you'll lose a pound a week.. and that is the safest and best way to lose it.. start up exercises should be some stretching and walking 15 minutes then work up your way to 45 three times a week insha'Allah.. it is all very elementary about ins and outs..you can eat as many as 5 times a day so long as your caloric intake doesn't exceed your BMR.. however if you're trying to lose weight you'll want to go lower than your BMR but no lower than 1200 because it will not be safe any less than that for your body to meet with your basic metabolic state..


and Allah swt knows best
:w:
 
I used to weight 65 kilos, and after ramadhan I turned pretty skinny (55 kg) which is'nt good for a 16 year old male.

Now it's more like 60kg, but I wanna weight more.

Wanna know the best hint? Drop all those stupid products which says you lose weight by putting patches on your stomach.

The prophet told us to keep 1/3 of the stomach with BREAD, 1/3 of stomack with WATER, and 1/3 of stomach empty!

Just keep on eating and drinking natural (no coca cola, jelly etc. because that is not near us, neither is it natural). Milk, water, bread, fruits, etc.

Do this, and believe me! It will help.

Fasting is also a good idea if you wanna go hardcore. ;)
 
If you want to lose weight, use olive oil instead of other oils. it does wonders. and eat a few olives daily. the arabs (of UAE and Syria) are so thin that i used to wonder how they could remain so thin? was it in their genes or did it have something to do with what they ate. and i saw that using olive oil lowers the apetite.
 
1st prize for the obvious info, but I find that if I walk (rather than drive) to walk-able places and watch what I eat...I feel great and I've always stayed fairly thin-ish
 
Fat is healthy - That's one of my mottos! :D

Eat fat (not alone, eat it with food) but remmember to variate in other food too. Also remmember to keep exersicing.

I agree.
I try to leave the car at home whenever I can.
And when I travel by bus, I sometimes get off a stop or two earlier to walk a little more.
