my mom does not like my dieting

Good luck with your diet! I know it's a struggle because my mother has struggled for years. When my cholesterol hit an all time high, I really had to watch my sodium intake. It's hard to adjust a meal around our health needs but it's just an adjustment period. I wouldn't worry too much about what your mother thinks at this point. It's your body and you are doing what is good for you.

not sure i understand - you were fatter when eating rice ? and now eat chicken to diet but its too expensive ? rice is often eaten when dieting instead of say chips, so im wndering why you arent eating it

maybe its not all about the budget, maybe she sees that you're not being the usual healthy self you are in before you started dieting, she got worried and tried to stop you. maybe? And regarding your diet, if you are doing an Atkins diet meaning low carb super high protein, then its really taking an effect, you're losing weight fast, but you're also putting your body on the line. Yes its the new fab on dieting but looking at the different view of it, you're doing your body damage. With super high protein in your system, and with the known fact that you need at least 3days to fully digest every protein in your food, you're giving your body a hard time to digest your food, so you're being harsh to your liver, pancreas and also since nitrogen is high in protein food you're also being harsh to your kidney. And also you're losing weight because you're having a muscle wasting, wherein your body takes the muscle to transform your glycogen in the muscle into glucose for everyday energy. So you're not just loosing weight you're also loosing a lot. So i suggest have a balance diet, eat more fruits and vegetable. The best possible way I can suggest you to diet is eat rice and vegetable in the morning and a for lunch, then just eat fruits and vegetable for dinner. You don't need to cut down the rice since you're eating it in morning and lunch, just don't eat rice on evening (",)

Did she actually tell you that she doesn't want you to diet? Maybe she thinks that you are doing some extreme measures in your dieting that's why she encourages you to eat rice again.

Remind her the diet is for your good, not for hers. If you need to diet, do it. Good luck with it. Drink lots of water, and walk.

well if you decide to have a diet avoid junk foods and eat a lot of fresh foods like fruits and vegetable.. you can still eat rice but a small portion will do.. in deed dieting sometimes cost a lot than eating normal like you do before because you tend to buy more of the foods you should eat.. so you should be patient if you really wanna be fit..
