Hey everyone out there who is tryin to lose some weight! i'm not overweight and never have been (i only weigh 108 lbs.) but i came here to give u guys some advice. First if u want to loss weight, DON'T EAT FAT FREE STUFF! why? cauze it is loaded with sugar and your body has to produce all this insulin and then that sugar turns into fat and u start gainin weight. Second, don't eat high-glycemic carbs like potatoes, corn, bread, rice and anything that has carbs. If u really can't go without bread, try Ezekiel bread (in plain or raisin) that u can get a health food store. Third, eat six SMALL meals a day. Say u wanted to weigh a 120 pounds, to figure out how many calories u eat at each meal multiply 120 by 10 (which is 1200 and the amounmt of calories u will eat in a whole day) and then divide by 6 which is 200 calories PER meal (remember ur eatin 6 Small meals here). Fourth, drank half of ur body fluid, which is about 6-8 glasses of water. Fifth, do cardio-viscular exercise and weight training 3 to 5 times a week for about 45-60 minutes. Hope this stuff helps. if u guys need any more help u can email me at dancergurl14@comcast.net. Good luck!
