Does Anyone Know a Good Way to Start a Diet And Lose Weight?
Posted: 07-20-04 00:43am

I keep starting diets and then cheating and quitting! I cant even make it to two weeks!!!! I really would love to try and stay on one.Its just that I get bored and eat!!! I think maybe I have depression,our an eating disorder.I am very tired and have noooooo energy!! Ineed good ideas on what to do i'm still young,only 24 so it should be easy to lose weight and have lots of energy but I got married at 17 and have had three lil boys since and life is hard!!! I have alot of priorities and its like there is no me time!!!!!

My suggestion is to do a watered down wersion of some diet you know about, like atkins, cheat moderately every three or four days and get on a workout schedule, 2 or 3 times a week. If you do it right, then the exercising will equal out the cheating and boost your energy at the same time.

Find a child minder or a fitness centre(maybe attached to a local pool) where kids can be minded while you do a class or get pilates so you cna do it when the kids are asleep or watching tv - &/or take the kids for a walk - you all get some good exercise.

Start doing some research - read other posts re atkins etc - decide what you could make work for you & take it slow.

Purple33,

the only thing that I have found that works is eating moderatly and getting a little excercise. Do you have dogs? Try taking them on a mile walk around the neighborhood. Or invest in a pilates tape or dvd. (i love pilates I do the 20 minute workout 4x a week and it works!) you can eat what you have in your house, add a big salad with dinner and cut out things like soda, candy, and other junk. When you order pizza order a veggie lovers and just eat a couple of slices. When you do cheat, don't fret no one is perfect. Hope this helps! Wink

My3sons--you Need a Protein Boost!! For Energy , Fat Burning
Posted: 09-16-04 14:05pm

You need a body assessment--i'm telling ya....You need more protein daily!! A lack of protein will give you headaches, fatigue, moodswings, low metabolism, memory loss...Etc
protein works with your lean body mass to burn fat.....
That with a slight reduction in calories etc...Drinking lots of water 8-10 glasses daily wil also help with energy!

I was referred to a simple weightloss plan which worked for me--www.Slimstart.Net.
It works fast and is about a healthy balance of nutrition- which is what I wanted..They tell ya exactly what your daily protein requirements are etc...
It was a simple process...With real foods daily as well...
Hope that helps ya a bit...
