Is there anyone following a diet? I recently started a low carb (no refined carbs at all) high protein/fat diet and I'm already seeing a positive change in my energy levels. The only part that's got me upset is giving up white rice and pasta. ;[

I guess you could consider this a diet. Normally i don't eat breakfast or lunch but i'm starting to eat a granlola bar.
Special diets really aren't necessary to lose weight. If you just eat the right foods and exercise adequately than you'll lose weight. In fact if you do that you won't be fat in the first place. I know it's cliched, but it's just the truth. What goes in does matter, just as much as exercise. Why do you think they have the food pyramid? You can't go your whole life just eating dairy, even if it meets the calorie count. You need all the food groups and in the right proportions.
And you know that is thrown out the window when you have people living past 100 eating fatty foods.
You do realize skipping breakfast makes you gain weight?I guess you could consider this a diet. Normally i don't eat breakfast or lunch but i'm starting to eat a granlola bar.
That isn't a diet. You are just starving yourself.
Diets never really work you know. Really, what goes in doesn't matter. It is just the calorie count you need to watch. If you need to eat smaller portions, then go ahead. No one should have to stop eating their favorite foods to loose weight. All I am doing is eating less and exercising a lot.
No i'm not. I'm just not used to eating breakfast and lunch. Besides, i siad i'm eating breakfast and lunch. I don't get hungry most of the time. I'm underweight. Sorry,next time i'll explain better.
Im eating 3 meals a day (watching my calories)
I run 2 miles in the morning then 2 in the night
Diets never truly work out the situation of changing your body. Even through good results it becomes a slightly desperate move to help shed the pounds your looking to lose. What people are really supposed to do is portion their meals and eat natural foods that help your body, rather than give you upset stomach and diarrhea. People constantly think that calorie counting and eating very very little would help progress losing weight and although it helps there is damage along the way. The less calories you take the more energy your body steals from you, we're not just talking fat here. Carb diets are okay if you know the general intake of carbs your body necessarily needs, but if you really want to help your body you just need to look for foods that contain good carbs. All it comes down to is eating healthy, your body needs a balance of nutrition so you can't just diminish certain compounds in your daily food consumptions (except for sodium). If you eat the right foods and at least do an hour of cardio workouts such as jogging daily you can lose weight quickly.
Eating right is hard to do however, and not just because ppl have a hard time fighting temptation for fatty foods, but because organic/fresh/natural grown/cooked food is hard to come by, and is also expensive (i kid you not). If you like cooking then you shouldn't have too many problems.
don't overwork your body, unless you like running, what you're doing is not good at all
Two trainers I saw at the gym told me that changing your body was roughly 50% diet, 20% cardio and 30% strength training. Two miles actually isn't actually that much, at a time. I can do it in about a half hour at the gym at a relatively slow pace.
don't overwork your body, unless you like running, what you're doing is not good at all
Everyone differs on the subject of changing your body. If you know how to diet well that's fine, after all it is taking a selection of food to control your body weight and nutrient intake. I suppose eating right kind of fits along those lines, but there are number of foods you can eat that can help your body. You can also eat junk food as long as you portion, just not all the time like eating half a cheeseburger and a few amount of fries. The percentages for cardio and strength are spot on though, like i said an hour of cardio is good for you, but know your limits. It's okay to run 2 miles if you have the stamina for it, but if you create two separate moments to put your heart at work at a relatively long pace....you might want to slow down. Strength training is all about toning, and that helps promote less fat and more muscle...so is your goal trying to put on lean body shape?
