Does eating healthy really help you lose weight?
I'm 38 and I need to lose at least 30lbs. I've tried slim fast and other diets but the weight doesn't stay off.
So out of proportion - Small top, massive legs
Hi everyone
Forgive me if someone has already posted this question but I am in need of help.
I have lost a significant amount of weight simply by moving more and eating less rubbish (no junk food whatsoever). I am very proud of my achievement which has left me with a 27inch waist and wearing a UK size 8 on top.
However, I have lost nothing whatsoever from my thighs or those dreaded saddlebags. I now measure 42 inches across my thighs and wear a size 12-14 on the bottom.
Now I actually feel worse than before I started my weight loss journey because I look so out of proportion. If I sit at a table from the top up I look slim, but from the bottom half down I still look big.
How on earth can I shift the weight from my legs? I don't really want to loose any more weight from my top half because I'll get too skinny.
I know I know that you can't spot reduce but surely there must be something I can do to target my legs.
It's making me really despondent like I want to just find the nearest shop and eat my way through their chocolate and biscuit aisles in order to proportion myself out a bit more.
HELP!!
Please Help me!!!!! Anorexia recovery Advice!
Okay, I'll start with my stats. I'm 13, 157cm and I weigh around 37kg. Before my anorexia I weighed around 45kg and was probably 155cm tall. I started having issues with my body just after I got my first period. At first I didn't know much, so I didn't loose weight very fast and I still got my period two more times. So I researched more and learnt about calories and I starting restricting to 900 calories a day. As I began this I got my last period (in January) but it was light and lasted 7 days (not normal). Next, in March I decided to become vegetarian. I don't regret this decision even if it was partially made by my ED. Then people started realising my weight loss so I have tried to eat more. The problem is that I still want to be healthy! I have trouble eating more then 1000calories and I still get guilty and anxious if I exceed 1200 calories. I'm not really loosing weight anymore even though my calories are so low and I don't really want to gain weight either. The problem is that I want to get my period back! Also, my doctor said that my growth plates have almost closed so in almost finished growing. But I don't have a woman's body and I don't see how I could while being so short! Also, I really ENJOY counting calories and I don't know what to do!
does it matter what time of the day you eat certain foods?
I workout every day right before dinner. When I look at what I eat, I usually eat high protein breakfasts , usually protein lunch and high carbs for dinner. I know protein helps rebuild your muscles after a workout so does it matter if I'm not eating protein for dinner? Should I eat a higher carb lunch
Lactose Intolerance and Weight Gain
About a year ago, I became severely lactose intolerant. I only ate about 1000 calories (if I was lucky) per day for about three months. I lost probably about 15 pounds. I then finally figured out what I could eat and started eating a much more normal 2000 calories a day. I then not only gained the weight I lost back, but I gained an extra 25 pounds over the course of about 6-8 months. Is this normal? Is this a result of starvation mode or my body still adjusting to the intolerance?
