im glad u decided to turn your life around.
carbs have high gylemic and low gylchemic indexes. the higher it is the fastr it will spike your blood sugar levels and cause weight gains. sugar and white bread are high on the index. cut out sodas and desserts….switch ti whole wheat or maybe 60% loafs.
find creative ways to eat vegetables. is there ONE vegetable u like to eat or one way u like to eat it? start from there! i hated vegetables too. i am asian and so my mom does stirfries often. i like garlic and soysauce stirfried with mushrooms, carrots, cerlery and brocoli. find a way to enjoy veggies and stick with it for now and u will develop a taste for veggies
start doing cardio. it is a MUST to lose weight. start of slow, do walks. then jogs, then runs…….just slowly increase the time and the speeds and take it 1 step at a time. this way your body gets prepared for the nxt step and u are no overwhelmed with an impossible goal.
drink lots of water. lots. water makes u feel fuller, and have a bottle of water around at all times so u can drink it when u are ‘thirsty’ instead of drinking pop or sugary drinks.
try working out with light weights. lean muslcle increases your metabolism to help u burn more calories than u wud be when your not excercising. and muscles look good regardless of your weight or size!
avoid fast food and pre-processed frozen food. transfats and saturated fats are a diet-ers worst enemy. keep fat out as well. some fats in foods like salmon are healthy for u…but its hard to list them all here so in general keep fat to a low.
keep your diet to low carbs, low fats, and high in fibre and protein. lean meats and veggies are excellent with a small side of brown rice or some bread. snacking is FINE. remmeber, keeping blood sugar constant is key. snacking keeps it level. just snack on healthy foods like a fruit or carrot sticks. even a whole wheat cracker is fine. a big thing u want to watch out for is to not eat more because of snacking. u want more, but smaller meals. the total food u consume shudnt be more with the more meals. watch the calories.
most importantly, keep a log! keep track of what u ate, what excercises u did, and your weight. if u see progress u will have the motavation to keep going!
best of luck.
