Diet

[♀~§assy§pirit~♀]

Naku Doc eyes, don't fall into that trap!  I can pretty much say that I've already tried every diet in existence, including the cabbage soup which became popular in the late 80's, and all i can say is.. IT TASTES LIKE CRAP!!!  True you'll loose weight fast but it's so temporary bec. you'll get tired of it so quickly that you'll start craving for real food in about a week!  Now what I did, (pls. refer to my post above)  Is just getting rid of the food that we are not supposed to be eating anyway, so bec. I'm not eating all these extra sugar and carbs ( which by the way takes less calories to metabolize)  I've created a calorie deficit without starving myself so the end result is unavoidable weight loss.

yeah that's right and in addition to that, when i'm really hungry na and hindi pa meal time, i drink water.. if di nyo kaya yung plain water lang, you can always opt for that flavored water.. yung Summit Clear na flavored water, caffeine free & sugar free.. as in recommended sya for those who need replenishments pero may sinusunod na diet.

No carbs is very effective for me. I also drink lots of water plus yun green tea capsules.. kase I don't drink tea eh.

 

Lots of cardio exercise of course. Di na ko diet ngayon pero I keep on losing weight pa rin... I try to control my weight though, pag bumaba na sa ideal weight ko, lalantak ako ng pagkain nyan.. nyek.. napaka-unhealthy ba? Ayoko naman kseng pumayat ng sobra, hindi na bagay sa face ko.

you can get your green tea capsules at healthy options. i think it's around 930 per bottle containing 90 capsules. you take 2 tablets every meal or 6 tablets a day.

 

i am also taking this supplement, and i swear it works. in fact, i already lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks, pero syempre, controlled yung food intake like rice, etc.

Diet and Nutrition

Diet and Nutrition are 1 of, if not, the most important part of getting the body you want. You have to eat good to look good. But if you go that extra mile and eat great... you guessed it, you can look great! No matter what your goals are, 1 thing is the same. You need protein, and you don't need fat. Thats the most important rule here. Stay away from fatty foods. Cookies, chips, candy, chocolate, cake, fast food, fried food etc. Not all fat is bad for you though. There is a healthy fat. This fat can be found in fish, and flax seed oil. Protein, why do you need it? Protein is the building block for muscle. Without protein, dont even bother going to the gym. To gain muscle mass, you need to eat protein. Some people say eating 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. I disagree. I say stick with 1 gram per pound. So if you weigh 150lbs, eat 150 grams of protein. And that means everyday, whether your going to workout that day or not, you still need to supply your muscles with the protein they need to recover for the next workout and to grow. Some high protein foods are: Chicken

Lean Meats

Egg Whites

Turkey

Tuna Fish (and other seafoods)

All of those foods are low in fat, if any fat at all, and very high in protein. A can of tuna has no fat, and 30 grams of protein. Not bad huh? Don't like these foods? Don't have time to eat all that protein? Check out the supplements section. Also about protein.. you need it after a workout. Eat a can of tuna or something high in protein after your workouts to supply your body with the protein it needs to recover after the workout you just had. I have a protein shake after every workout. For more info on protein shakes, check out the supplements section. As you might have guessed, fruits and vegetables are very important to your diet. Besides the fact theres no fat, they have the vitamins and minerals you need! Drinks. The best thing to drink is water, and alot of it. I drink about a gallon a day. You need it. It will give you the fuel you need to k*ll yourself in the gym getting the body you want. Another good drink is low/non fat milk. Milk has alot of protein in it, but personally i hate the taste of milk. But if you like it, non fat milk is great for you. But don't forget about the water! Diets. You have to make yourself a diet. Whether its a weight gain diet, or a weight loss diet, you have to get organized. Plan what your going to eat before you eat it. I know that almost every monday night im going to be eating chicken breasts, and that after every workout im going to have a protein shake, and that i need to go to the store and buy some tuna fish because i will be eating a can every day. Make yourself a diet as low in fat as possible, and high in protein and then get yourself organized so that eating isn't a problem anymore. It becomes as easy as walking, you just do it without thinking. This way, theres no time to think about eating those potato chips, or not eating enough protein. Carbs. People trying to lose weight should eat a diet very low in carbs while someone whose trying to gain weight can get away with eating the extra carbs.

The Pre-Competiton Meal (By Nancy Clark, MS, RD. Reprinted With Permission)

When it comes to pre-competition eating, each person has individual food preferences or aversions. Hence, no one single food or "magic meal" will ensure top performance. Whereas some athletes (runners or those in sports involving running and jumping) may prefer to eat nothing before competition, others (cyclists, skiers) may perform better after having eaten a light snack (50-200 calories) or small meal (300-500 calories). The following guidelines offer points to consider regarding your own personal pre-exercise eating program. Because each person is unique, you should experiment to learn which foods (if any), and how much of them, work best for your body.

· The goal of the pre-competition meal is to enhance stamina and endurance without causing any stomach discomfort.

The pre-competition meal or snack helps to:

1. maintain a normal blood sugar and prevent performance problems associated with hypoglycemia, such as light-headedness, blurred vision, needless fatigue and indecisiveness.

2. settle the stomach, absorb some of the gastric juices and prevebt you from feeling hungry.

3. provide energy to fuel your muscles.

Although eating too much food can have adverse effects (nausea, stomach cramps), so can eating too little (lack of energy). if you get very nervous, stressed or have a sensitive stomach, you may prefer to abstain completely from food. You should make a special effort to eat extra food the day before to be well fueled for the competition.

· Choose carbohydrates before an event because they digest quickly and are readily available for fuel. Some popular choices include cereal, bananas, bread, bagel, crackers and pasta. Protein-rich foods (eggs, tuna, steak) take longer to digest and may increase the need to urinate. Fats (fried foods, peanut butter, greasy burgers) stay longest in the stomach and may feel heavy and uncomfortable.

· Pay attention to meal timing. In general, you should allow 3-5 hours for a large meal to digest; 2-3 hours for a smaller meal, 1-2 hours for a blenderized meal (liquids are absorbed more rapidly than solid foods), .5-1 hour for a small snack. Always eat extra carbohydrates the day prior and do little or no exercise so your muscles can refuel.

Before morning events, eat a hearty, high carbohydrate dinner and bed-time snack the prior night. That morning, eat a light meal (such as 1-2 slices of toast and/or cereal) as tolerated to stabilize your blood sugar, absorb some of the gastric juices and keep you from feeling hungry.

Before afternoon events, eat a hearty breakfast and a light carbohydrate-based lunch.

Before evening events, eat a hearty breakfast and lunch, then a light snack as tolerated 1-2 hours prior.

Some athletes break all the rules and enjoy a big meal with no problem within an hour of the event. Others can eat nothing for four hours prior. You simply have to experiment during training to determine what foods (if any) settle comfortably, when you should eat them (one, two or three hours prior?) and how much you can eat.

· Always eat familiar foods prior to competition -- don’t try anything new! Experiment with new foods during training to determine if they settle well, cause "acid stomach", gas, heartburn, cramps or intestinal discomfort.

· Eat a high carbohydrate diet every day to prevent chronic glycogen depletion and ensure adequate glycogen replacement.

One pre-event meal inadequately compensates for a poor training diet.

· When traveling, you might want to bring your favorite sports foods such as a tried-and-true cereal, muffin, fruit or sandwich. This way, you can worry less about fueling yourself and be free to focus on performing.

· The pre-competition meal may have a greater psychologicalthan physiological value. For example, if you firmly believe that a steak dinner helps you perform best, then eat it even though this meal "breaks the rules" regarding pre-game suggestions! (But you should also experiment during training with pasta or another high carb, low fat choice to see if this more appropriate food settles better and offers an energy advantage.)

Sample high carbohydrate, low fat pre-competitlon food suggestions:

Breakfasts: cereal, lowfat milk, banana; toast, juice; muffin or bagel, yogurt; french toast or pancakes, syrup.

Lunches: sandwich with thick bread, little mayo; soup, crackers; thick-crust pizza (single cheese, no meat).

Snacks: crackers, bagel, toast, canned or fresh fruit, yogurt, small turkey sandwich, leftover pasta.

Dinners: spaghetti, tomato sauce; extra rice, noodles, potato, vegetables with small serving of chicken, fish.

I try eating fruits like oranges, o yung nabibili lng sa kanto kanto na ponkan.. ayos na yun... Or mga craers. which I lost weight around 5 lbs. in two weeks. pero 30 minute exercise every mornin.

 

para hindi ako mag crave to the sweets or foods na I usually eat, I indulge my self once in while para hindi ko namn ma feel na depraved ako... pero small lng yung amounts.

wala naman, kasi caffeine free sya. all natural.

the only unusual feeling that you have is mainitin ka... kasi mataas metabolism rate mo even at rest. at night, lalo na when i just got home, hindi ubra sa akin aircon lang.... i should have the electric fan open to for an hour.

(i got it from playing basketball, while she got it from mountain hiking in Quezon province)

which hinders us in doing a physically-straining exercise...

walking for 30minutes is our only option...

Actually, anything most of you guys tried apparently works, for the simple reason that calories have been reduced enough so you aren't able to maintain your present weight. Watch out, though, because drastic weight loss is mostly water in the beginning (the first two to four days, to be precise.) After which, depending on the macronutrient content of your food intake, weight loss might not necessarily come from fat, but actually muscle and organ tissue. If you'd like to reduce calories, then it would be healthier to maintain the proper proportions of each macronutrient, i.e., protein, carbohydrate, fat, including fiber, water, and micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) while reducing overall portions. Realistically, the body cannot lose more than 1 1/2 lbs. (from excess fat) in a week. That's the absolute limit. Anything more would seriously compromise your health. Aim for getting through the next 4 to 6 hours without starving. That's how much food that your body can efficiently convert to, and completely consume as fuel. Drastic weight loss may even be counterproductive, because the calories burned from exercise will be less, owing to a reduced metabolism which is your body's means of protecting itself. Don't be misled by "quick fixes." There's a hefty price to pay for it. Work with your body; not against it. Fine tuning your metabolism requires that you be sensitive to how your body responds to your eating habits. Eat when you're hungry. Do it slowly; it takes approximately 20 min. for the brain to know you've had enough. Don't eat until you're full, though; just enough to appease your hunger. It's a simple, yet elegant means by which your body guides you on how to obtain proper nourishment. Don't confuse hunger with cravings, though; hunger is a biological response, while cravings are driven primarily by emotions. The clue lies on the choice of food you crave for; they are very specific and more often than not, unhealthy. Starvation will also trigger ravenous appetite. By keeping your body properly nourished, you prevent yourself from being at the mercy of your urges. Keep your efforts manageable. Set realistic goals. Measure your progress. Consistency is key. Treat any backsliding as minor setbacks, and continue on as before. Once you get in the swing of things, your momentum will carry you through. Hopefully, this becomes not just a means of attaining your desired weight, but form part of a healthy lifestyle. Weight loss may be your short-term goal, but in the end, it's all about making the right choices.
