chickensducks&agoose :
I need to lose 40 pounds this year. I think I can do it, right? So I thought maybe a few of you would want the same thing maybe, and we could sort of support each other a little bit. I only have 2 real friends, and they are both super thin... so no help there. anyway, If you want to, we can either post current weights, or amounts lost/gained each week or so... and maybe any hints, or super tasty low fat snacks... anyone else in?
DO NOT starve yourself!!!! Heres why, if you starve yourself your metabolism will SLOW DOWN because it is going into starvation mode. Your body would then totally save it's fat, and not loose anything, DO NOT GO INTO STARVATION MODE! Here's what you do instead -
Eat Large (Large meaning not just toast) meals in the morning, in the afternoon eat medium sized meals, then at night eat like you would normally in the morning, SMALL.
I know this sounds silly but it really works! Also, don't eat too many breads/cereals/ECT..
I know this is nt what an average dieter would say, but eat a lot, now don't say,
okay eat a lot! I'll have that brownie! Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables! like Salads are very good to have in the morning. Make your salad with some delicious stuff, like maybe some tomatoes, A little but of cheese, (But in proportion!!!), and sometimes to add some sweetness you can put some dried cherries, but make sure you buy them either organically or without sugar. some people even put nuts, like sunflower seeds and other foods like that.
Don't go into starvation mode!!!!!!
