hi i am struggling to reduce my over weight.. my doctor say you must reduce 40kg....tel me some tips how i reduce my excess weight...
Hi Rpriyanka,
I think it's great to combine a healthy balanced diet with exercise to help to lose weight. The NHS weight loss pages are excellent to give advice and show how that can be achieved. Having a goal to lose between 1 to 2 pounds a week is a good rate of progress and healthy as well.
Wishing you every success with your goals.
Lowcal
Go at a slow pace 1 to 2lb per week, and set yourself some interim goals Good Luck!
Hi Angel
I was given this tip by a dietician
Draw round a teaplate onto a piece of card
Draw a line through the middle of the circle deviding it into two equal sections
Draw a line through the middle of 1 of the halves to make 2 equal quarters
You should have 1 half and 2 quarters
The largest portion is for vegetables and fruit
1 of the smaller portions is for meat or if you're vegetarian quorn or similar products
The other smaller section is for Carbs wholewheat, wholemeal, wholegrain, brown, seeded and jacket are the best choice as we know
I'll let you into a secret sweet potato is a vegetable so enjoy!
Use this for each meal and it should help you keep on track
Good luck on your journey and if you would like a healthy lifestyle buddy ( i hate the diet word ) i'd be there for you
Take care and angel blessings xx
hi iv just cut n copied onto here some advise I just gave another member that I do that might help you too ......
Its ok to have a small amount of pasta just change it to whole wheat, their really isn't any diff in taste but it is a lot better for you its slow releasing energy, if I have some I have a small handful, same with rice change to brown, you can have more veg or salad on your plate instead, I stay away from chips only once in a blue moon, but I love sweet potatoes every now n then, and the same for bread get whole wheat or a seedy loaf its really tasty I couldn't go back to white bread now I hate it but just have bread it in small quantities too, and I surf the net for low calorie meals or low carb meals, snacks etc. there are tonns of healthy foods and recipes then I do a shopping list of what I need.
I don't have any biscuits or cakes in the house AT ALL, because I know i'll eat em all, but I will buy the lowest fat crisps I can find like weightwatchers or quavers so if I do want a snack I can have a bag of them only every now n then and I buy nuts to nibble on natural not salted or dry roasted and recently I bought the weightwatchers ice cream pots so if I do fancy something sweet and cool i'll have one but as iv said only occasionally as a treat , but those three things are things that I love and couldn't diet continuously without having a little something you enjoy I just try to have the healthiest or lowest fat I can find.
Not so much recently but I also make loads of soups veg soups my fav at moment is a curried butternut soup I saw on a weight watchers site and their is no fat its delish, whole family love it and I also freeze it in containers for work.
I hope some of the things I do are a help to you and good luck x
Hi Angel
Your welcome, i like to help new people starting out on this site, as it is daunting and it takes alot of courage to write that first message!
So a little friendly hello and easy ideas really buts their minds at rest and gives them the will to carry on their new lifestyle journey knowing there is always someone there if they need support.
I for got to mention the blood group diet, it tells you which foods are toxic to your body, what foods are medicine and what to eat generally.
I'm blood group O negative and found out I'm wheat and dairy intolerant and I made the few changes it suggested and by the end of the first week, i felt less bloated and by the end of the first month the psoriasis on my face and scalp had nearly gone!!
Its worth a look even if you're not on a diet.
