How can I improve my diet and lose weight?
I weigh 128 pounds and would like to weigh 118 in a month. I am 17 years old and 5′5". In order to give you the idea of my average food intake, here’s what I’ve eaten today: 2 turkey sandwiches (fully loaded), 3 chocolate rice cakes, 1 bowl of all natural cookie dough ice cream, and 1 simply fruit roll up. No matter what I do, it seems like I can’t lose weight. I go on a walk an hour each day which is about my only exercise but it seems like I should be still losing weight. I’ve gained a lot of weight in the last year. Up until about 2 months ago, I would eat whenever I got bored and it would be unhealthy food and I wouldn’t exercise. I’ve stopped eating like that most of the time but I can’t seem to lose weight. I have a stomach and love handles. I sleep at least 8 hours a night and have no stress. Whats my problem? And please don’t recommend any diet or exercise machine that costs. Thanks for all the future advice.
Well - it’s a good time in your life to learn about food - and you can do the Atkins diet. It allows people to lose weight very well - and lots of doctors do it these days as they’ve finally figured out that it’s quite healthy.
If you have a tendency to gain weight, you need only to cut out the sugars - and this might be something you want to learn early in your life. it will pay BIG dividends down the road.
Get a copy of Atkins "New Diet Revolution" - it’s in the library - or get a used copy off of Amazon Books.
