The Very Best Way To Loose Weight - Trust Me

Hi Terilee. My problem is portion control,and for some reason I seem to have no control over what I eat,be it quantity or quality, It seems that I can not eat just one of any thing, it is almost like I have to eat the whole bag, box, tin of what ever is is front of me, and the worst part of it is I live alone and cook for 3. My brother is on one of those very ridged diets where he is allowed two 3ounce portions of protein per day, and Vegetables, no starch no fat, he has lost a lot of weight about 50 pounds but I don't have the $4oo per week to invest in such a plan, mind you if I were paying $400 per week I would make darn sure I never ate more than I was allowed so perhaps that is the point to my dilemma, no incentive, other than "I wish", and that dear lady is NOT working for me,I even found in a thrift store one of those old counters that have tiny pictures of carbs, fats, protein, etc, but even that will not work as I forget to carry it or lie to myself. I guess I do not really want to lose weight that bad, and that part scares me as I really do need to lose at least 50 pounds it is starting to affect my health

I would find this hard to do. I might try it, but I would have to eat first. Over the last week or so, I was lucky to eat once a day and sometimes twice. I would often wait for my nephew to get up and would wind up not eating until 8pm if at all. I know I should do something like this but so far it hasn't happened. But I can say that in the last week (by doing this and walking) I lost about 5 pounds so I can't complain. Just 30 or so to go!!!

are you sure that its really working well dear? i really having problem with my weight at now, it seems easily to get weight rather than to loose it. however, by listing any food that i eat in daily, it would make me get confused which foods that i should reduce or eliminate at all. do you have any suggestion for this case, hun?

oh my! you know what? i was thinking just this morning of doing this!! and by God's grace here you are, sharing your best method of eating.. i gues will start with it today... so has it helped you? how much did you lose in how many days or weeks? Thank you very much.

That's not a bad idea, if I can just remember to do it. I've been trying to diet for the past couple weeks. Some days I do really good watching what I eat, and others I slip a little. I only need to lose a couple pounds, but it seems sometimes those couple pounds are the hardest to lose. I try to keep a mental note of what I've ate for the day, but sometimes over look something small. I'll have to give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for the info.

hey terilee79720!I'll try your best way to lose weight.Today I had chicken rice for lunch,calamansi juice,mineral water,cinnamon blended coffee,stuffed beancurd and toast oh and a cup of HOT chocolate malt.I guess that's 10000 calories.sigh.Thanks!

I sort of keep a food diary of sorts but I use the online site FitDay.com where I can not only keep track of what I eat but also how many calories I burn, my progress, etc etc...Definately though, regardless of HOW one does it, keeping track of calories IN and calories OUT is a great help in not just losing wt but being healthy too..

Yes it is a good idea to make a journal on what you eat especially when you are trying to loose weight. You should take note the amount and the type of food you are eating as well. So after listing down the food- plan out what are the foods you would like to avoid that is not helping to lose weight.Eat more fruit and vegetable and be sure it is a balanced diet. We should not forget to do some exercise.

That may help in a way when you know what you have been taking for a day in terms of food intake. But it will probably be more useful and effective if firstly you know for these foods the amounts of calories, fats, cholesterol, etc. associated with these, and compare these with the total of such intake recommended per day for a person of your age. If you do not know these, then being more aware of the food intake alone may not help so much. Also such things as metabolic rate and how fast you burn away your fats based on your daily activities determine also if your food intake is right, and whether you will put on more weight if your fats are not adequately burned off and end up accumulating in your body.

I'm so happy you posted this. I will try your technique. I hope it could help me lose weight. I've been trying hard and I only get minimal results. Thank you!

I already tried that and that was good to do... You can also add monitoring your weight everyday... it may help too... Also you may add some exercise to reduce wrinkle... If you like green veggies, it will make it fast for you to loose weight.. After dieting you may give your self a reward and eat your favorite food... I am done with that...

hello terilee!weight is one of the problem that obsess me , i like to eat sweet food very much , i know it is full of fot and calorie , i will try your way to lose weight , hope it can works . the summer is coming , fight to lose weight and wear beautiful skirts!

it sound helpful to loose weight,the snacks have so much kcal,because it almose has much sugar,fat and cooking oil,these three thing are high-kcal food,so ruduces snacks is helpful to loose weight.another thing that also cause fatter,it is fast food, besides that,people must do some exercises,not only to loose weight,it can also make you more healthily.

Terrilee,yeah,it's a good way,i will try tomorrow,sometimes,we just can not remember what we have ate during one day,i think if i write down,i will be a little surprised.Based on my experiences,when you have dinner,don't eat too much,maybe you can only eat about 70% of your stomach capacity,that will keep you healthy and thin;also,do some exercises,it's also very good way.

I've known that food journal in one of the novel I've read and I know it is as effective as keeping an expenses journal. Right now, as much as I wanna keep one, I cannot find time to write down all I am taking in because I am busy with my baby and who cares if I haven't lost the weights I put on while pregnant!

I tried this with an online calorie counting site. Almost everything I eat isn't listed on the counter so after 3 days I gave up. I got too much I need to lose too but I can't seems to do it even though I don't eat excessively although I hardly exercise. Perhaps I was lazy before, these days its I can't care less.

It's really a good idea.I think it will be useful for everyone.I think it's very scientific,so it not only can make us lose weight but also can make us healthy.

I agree with you a hundred percent. A food diary is critical if you're serious about weight loss. Most people are unaware of how much they snack during the day and those snacks really add up. If you cook, you're going to do a lot of tasting. Add to that the samples you nibble on at the grocery store and the quick bites you grab out of the refrigerator and you've soon added several hundred extra calories to your daily intake. Plus, you weren't even aware of it. If you keep a food diary, it's important that you write down EVERYTHING you eat.

That is a very good idea. It's always good to keep a detailed log of what you eat. You will find yourself avoiding certain foods simply to avoid the embarrassment of having to write it down. It is difficult however to stick to such a regime, especially for those with hectic lifestyles who may not have the time to keep strict records of everything that they eat. There is an article here that features a number of tips as well as scientific facts to help you to lose weight without taking any of the enjoyment out of life: http://www.healthmad.com/Nutrition/Encouraging-Healthy-Eating.99849 Best of luck.:)

Oh,it seems a good idea.
