I lost 15 pounds over a period of 3 months. Just want to share the following,
a. remove sugar from all diet including coffee etc.
b. double protein intake and halve carbs. One way to do is make your dinners protein only. Find Greek yogurt with low sugar content (or its easy to make at home too). This is especially important if you are above 35.
c. Read about the difference between fat and carbs. Till the time you reach target weight, eat carbs as little as possible.
d. If exercising try things like HIIT or weights that make you 'exert' yourself. Even if its just 5 minutes per day.
Regarding motivation to avoid over eating, make sure your diets includes periodic snacks. There are lot of benefits of eating frequent but light meals (trail mixes with nuts, boiled eggs, green tea, fruits are good examples). Trail mixes with little bit of sugar are ok as they help stop the sugar craving if you have one.
- htoe8n324nt 8y agoPersonally, I found it much easier to not focus on my diet and instead focus on my exercise. Using a fitness tracking watch meant not changing many of my eating habits. (I gave up the small soda I would have at lunch and limited alcohol to only on the weekends, and not more than 1-2 drinks per weekend night.) Changing what you eat is very hard for many people and can be the main thing stopping them from even trying.
