Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 4/5/01 - IP#: 172.173.81.95Chris, I lost two pounds a week when I first started my diet and then it slowed down to a pound a week. Here is how I did it. I wrote down everything I ate and me and my mum counted the calories and then stuck to 1100 calories for the first few weeks and then 1200. It doesn't sound like a lot but I do have a slow metabolism. I didn't feel tired because I was eating healthier. Also watch the fat content. Some foods are low in calories but high in fat. This diet is very boring at first but you soon get used to the routine and it worked for me. I eat more fruit and drink more water so I actually feel fuller. In 3 months I have now lost 22 pounds and now the weight loss has slowed to about half a pound a week, which is fine because I am now at my goal weight. Good luck. |
