Dieting foods

hunkpapap by hunkpapapOG 2003 · Mar 8, 2004 · 378 views

OK, so i need to lose weight. Not just want to, need to. It is for my back and my ankles. I do some working out, but i can't do alot of lifting etc...Dancing does help lose me some, but i don't do it as often as i'd like...

I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast and cornflakes for lunch. Then a not too heavy meal for dinner. It's helping so far, but i am getting tired of the same things and I AM NOT a person who likes vegetables at all. I need new foods. PLEASE HELP!!

haha yeah and then you can always top it off with a banana for potassium

forrestina #12 forrestinaOG 2002

this chick i know that's lost weight and kept it off swears by atkins, but that wouldn't work for me buddy. i barely eat meat.

malibu #12.1 malibuOG 2001

i swear by atkins. and my mom who lost 130 lbs on it. but it just isn't for everyone. it's actually not that good for me cuz i hate meat but i force myself to do it because it works so well.

forrestina #12.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

sometimes i crave meat, but when i eat it i end up sick afterwards. this doesn't always happen with chicken or turkey tho.

fivezero #12.1.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

i eat LOTS of turkey. pound a week!

perrin #12.2 perrinOG 2004

Yeah but the problem with Atkins is that you'll have a heart attack after being on it. I mean Dr. atkins was over weight and had heart disease. That diet may make you lose weight but it's very dangerous at the same time.

skaorsk8 #12.2.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

you know what i've learned - the high fat content is only the first couple of weeks, to keep you full - then you gradually lower your fat intake.

perrin #12.2.1.1 perrinOG 2004

All I know is that the people I know that are on this diet loose weight fast but they don't look very healthy.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i,don't,remember,asking, you, mr i don't answer,ez-messages,

perrin perrinOG 2004

What are you talking about I responded to your message you never sent anything back.

Did you not read the message I sent you?

icescream22 #12.3 icescream22OG 2004

atkins is almost like a rage diet now....u can get it anywheres. I went to subway the other day & the guy at the counter asked if i wanted it the atkins way. When i asked what it was he proceded to point out that it would be 3 peppers, one olive & 2 onions..or something like that. I laughed & told him no thanx ;)

1. Drink lots of water
2. Avoid foods labeled reduced/low fat, sometimes the fat content isn't that low and it can have a load of extra salt
3. Eat a small salad for lunch
4. Cut back on carbs, but not entirely
5. Take a walk everyday

This is what I have been doing and I've lost 13 pounds in a month!

ilikebirds #10 ilikebirdsOG 2002

hunkpapap #9 hunkpapapOG 2003

thanks for not too much folks. :) just kidding i think the tuna wins.

yodasucka #8 yodasuckaOG 2003

i don't understand this diet stuff... i eat what i want... when i want... which is prolly why i'm going to die in a few years...

tinser #8.1 tinserOG 2002

me too.....why bother eating healthy...you could get hit by a mac truck anyway....i say eating what you want when you want is the best

D
#8.1.1 dgiaimoOG 2003

Especially since it's not even clear what is and is not healthy to eat.

tinser #8.1.1.1 tinserOG 2002

eXactly...one day they say its good for you, and the next it causes cancer...although, i'm pretty sure mcdonalds has never been good for you....but, i'll never give that up

beachbum #7 beachbumOG 2002

good rule of thumb-meat + veggies is good. Veggies + Carbs is good. Meat + heavy carbs BAD. have veggies in pasta, on pizza, put them w/ stuff. i even like to make loaded baked potatoes w/ broccoli, butter & cheese

fivezero #7.1 fivezeroOG 2003

at a glance, i saw thumb-meat. i'm like what the heck is thumb-meat. is that like a chicken a finger? heh.

perrin #7.2 perrinOG 2004

Yeah Janine just make sure there isn't anything your not supposed to have in there.

malibu #6 malibuOG 2001

tons and tons of tuna fish. if you eat this straight, you are guaranteed to drop tons of weight. or just tons of chicken and meat in small portions. with a small salad every day. works perfectly.

thatdarngirl #6.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

And if you want to make the tuna taste better mix some shredded carrots and slice celery in because then you are getting your veges too!

malibu #6.1.1 malibuOG 2001

ewwwwwww i have a gross story. on friday nite kinda late we went to the budd lake diner (which i have hated for years for other reasons) but i order a tuna sandwhich and the tuna came out green. not like sliced celery green but like green snot nose goo green. it was disgusting!! i mean i know it's a diner but it is quite possibly the worst diner around. i do not know why everyone else loves it so much.

beachbum #6.1.1.1 beachbumOG 2002

i've had very weird experiences at that place.

malibu malibuOG 2001

yeah i have that place. things like this occur a lot.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

hahaha my experiences have been more with the people than the food. weird redneck trucker types.

malibu malibuOG 2001

and mean waitresses that don't wanna let you sit there? and the trucker guys that stare at you the minute you walk in the place?

forrestina #6.1.2 forrestinaOG 2002

one time we didn't have carrots so mel decided to try black olives. we didn't really like that.

yodasucka #6.1.2.1 yodasuckaOG 2003

it wasn't THAT bad... but it def wasn't as good as carrots

yodasucka #6.2 yodasuckaOG 2003

wait so u mean like straight outta the can? does that taste good?

forrestina #6.2.1 forrestinaOG 2002

you would not like it. remember when i tried to make us tuna with vinegar so we wouldn't be so fat....that was gross.

malibu #6.2.2 malibuOG 2001

it doesn't taste good at all but it is the fastest way to losing weight. just put mayo or whatever you normally do in it and then it'll be all right.

icescream22 #6.3 icescream22OG 2004

option 350: try this, make a regular salad just the way u like it(i luv ranch dressing so i use the no or low fat version which tastes the same, I would know ;) & then just throw in a can of tuna & mix it all up* It tastes good & even tho salad doesn't really fill ya the tuna in it does the job.

omegatweeter #5 omegatweeterOG 2003

you kinda need those vegetables, the nutrients help break down fat. if you really don't like them, spread them out through the day, you don't have to eat your day's veggies all in one meal. try eating like 4-5 small/medium meals a day, and never skip breakfast, it gets your metabolism going.

modestjesse #4 modestjesseOG 2004

just vomit after every meal

perrin #4.1 perrinOG 2004

Not funny at all. Have you know people who have had eating disorders? It's not something to joke about.

ilikebirds #4.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

the disease was found more than 20 years ago.
it's funny now. relax.

perrin #4.1.1.1 perrinOG 2004

fine forget i said anything.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

sorry i answer to the 20 year rule. jared has aides

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

so does pedro

fivezero #4.2 fivezeroOG 2003

Exactly! Girls always make the mistake of COMPLETELY purging. Leave a little in there for crying out loud.

socalgal #3 socalgalOG 2003

breakfast is the MUST DO meal of the day.....eat breakfast like a KING, eat lunch like a prince then eat dinner like a pauper...

ilikebirds #3.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

ah yes. i thought i only lived by that phrase.

perrin #3.2 perrinOG 2004

Are you sure about that I heard it the other way around?

socalgal #3.2.1 socalgalOG 2003

i'm POSITIVE....110%....

perrin #3.2.1.1 perrinOG 2004

I always heard it was better to eat a light breakfast you know maybe just some fruit then to eat a moderate lunch and a big dinner. I was told that the admonition that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a complete farce. If your that sure of it though I guess whoever told me that is wrong. hm. interesting very interesting indeed.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

when you're going to take a test a decent b-fast is good, but for dietary purposes....BIG breakfast, decent lunch and small, very small dinner. that's when you can gain the most weight...learnedd from nutritionists and trainers have told me

perrin perrinOG 2004

ok I'll keep that in mind for future reference. :)

forrestina #2 forrestinaOG 2002

it's been helping me to munch throughout the day on veggies and fruits, but yea i'm not a good person to ask since i pretty much eat what i want to when i want to.

skaorsk8 #1 skaorsk8OG 2002

woah, woah, what's with the carbs here?? why not try this "south beach" diet, see how it works for you...?

T
#1.1 toxicgirlOG 2003

the menus are ridiculous, i have the book and i ditched the idea immediately, doesn't seem practical

skaorsk8 #1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmm ok i didn't do any actual research on this.

why not try the "Fit for life" diet?? that's kind of interesting. the guy on the book is mad ripped, too.

malibu #1.1.2 malibuOG 2001

see i thought it was ridiculous too but my grandma and aunt are on it and they love and plan to continue eating that way for the rest of their lives. i idd n't like it but they do.
