I am put on some 'unwanted' pounds in the last couple of months and I would really like to slim back down. Being nude most of the time, I usually wouldn't notice that I did put on any weight. However last couple days I have been struggling with putting on pants for work, feeling extremely tight around my waist. My question is what safe recommendations could you give me to help shed some of the pounds off. I am not looking for a 'lose weight quick with pills' solution, I feel that cannot be safe. Especially since they can become addictive. Thanx in advance for your advice.

It behooved our ancestors to pack away calories while they were available. Today, food is much more stable in supply. But we still have the instinct to eat the fattening foods, and as much as we can.
Smart choices are the only weapons we have in the war on weight. One is recognizing when we are ACTUALLY hungry. This, to me is the biggest challenge. We live in such regimented lives that we actually think that "lunch break" means we HAVE to eat. This hearkens back to the instinct of eating everything we can while it's available. But now we do it on a daily basis. It's hard to learn this part, but it can be done. Eat only enough to make it to your next meal. If you're not hungry when you get to your next meal, you ate too much. This is not to say that you should starve yourself and be in pain at the beginning of each meal -- quite the opposite. That will cause you to gorge yourself. But eat just enough that you're ready to eat the next time. If you're not really hungry, cut back, but keep in mind how long it will be before you eat again.
Don't be hungry. If you feel actual hunger, eat.
Know what actual hunger is. People confuse boredom with a need to eat. And as Cheri already mentioned, sometimes dehydration is confused with hunger.
As for WHEN to eat? This is the part I'm still working with. You should start the day heavier than you end up with. The majority of calories should come from breakfast and lunch. Breakfast should contain the lion's share of protein. Dinner should only be enough to hold you until breakfast, and even then should not be too close to bed time. Again, our regimented lives can make that difficult.
Ok, What about WHAT to eat? If you're trying to lose weight . . . Low fat, low carb, high protein (and it needs to be good protein, some is junk). The protein is important, because if you simply cut calories, it will not only slow your metabolism, but your body might actually start slowly cannibalizing its own muscles, including the heart.
Stay away from processed foods.
I, personally, believe that the better half of the American weight issue is the simple lack of activity. If you don't have the option of working out due to schedule or expense, or whatever, make choices to do simple extra things. Park a little further from the store. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Heck, with gas prices these days? Just walk when you can.
And I know it sounds like new-age hooey, but stress actually does aid in weight retention. The hormones (primarily cortisone) actually make it easier to gain weight. Relax. seriously.
About the only foods that I eat that are processed are Pizza(once or twice every 3 months or so) and yep ice cream(once a month), Most of the time I eat fruit cocktail(drained w/fat free ranch dressing added after draining the fruit of Its syrup, served cold), veggies(frozen, brockley, cauliflower and carrots, nuked), One 15% lean beef pattie(trimmed of any loose non-meat particles after nuking), some rice(Kraft minute, nuked), eggs(powdered whole eggs, mixed w/water, cooked in a frying pan), 2-sausage(FJBS, cooked in a frying pan), a sandwich for lunch(Whole Wheat bread only) w/either peanut butter(spread thinly) and strawberry preserves(70 calories a serving for the preserves) or 1 slice of Oscar Mayer Turkey @ 30 calories a slice and Kraft fat free Mayo(spread thinly), tea(no sugar, artificial sweetener already added), coffee(with sweet'N'low and dry creamer to taste), All foods are as low in Calories, Fat and Carbohydrates as I can buy them(pretty low really). Low calorie Margarine is also used on on the veggies, rice and the pancakes, I'll sometimes have pancakes with 100 calorie syrup(I tried the sugar alcohol type of Maple syrup which tastes good, But It is not something that My body likes or tolerates, so I discontinued buying that stuff) for breakfast as the 2.25lb can of eggs only lasts for 3 weeks and I'm on a fixed income and I can't always buy 2 cans(about $19.99ea before shipping). Back in January I was in the Doctors office and they weighed Me at about 389lbs, recently(August) I was weighed at 370lbs at the doctors office, So It's a diet I can live with and stick to.

I can find my glasses, Tuffers, but I have to remember which part of them to look through to see that bottom step!
I'm sure I think I said what I probably meant, but maybe not. |

Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting that aspect. It's good to want to be healthy, but love what you're stuck with. The reality is that our bodies are in a life-long struggle with us. We will all wrinkle, shrivel, gray, and eventually become afraid of escalators. Be happy with the body you have. |

I like it Cheri. He has the right idea lol. However, joking apart, it is the person rather than the shape of the body that makes the individual. It is only for health reasons that I have got to lose some weight so I will be back to selflike figure as in my Avatar he he

You are right regarding beer consumption, bornnude. At the end of 2006 I left alcahol alone completely and as a beer drink ( pints of good English bitter ) the pounds dropped offwith exercising as well. It is all back on so I'm off to the gym this afternoon to start losing the beer belly lol |

You've got that right. Then on top of that, we were trained (by guilt sometimes) to eat everything we get.
For a couple of years I traveled extensively for my job. During that time, I gained a lot of weight. One trip, I spent several weeks in Germany and actually lost weight, even while those around me gained. Why? I kept beer consumption to a reasonable level -- one at dinner rather than two or three -- but mostly, the portions were a much better size. |

We have a combination of toxins and lack of exercise. Those of you drinking diet sodas need to know that they not only slow your metabolism, but actually make you crave more food. i.e., you want to move less and eat more. By the way, 90% of the American diet is in some way related to corn (corn syrup, corn products, corn-fed animals, etc.). Corn also slows the metabolism.
As for the exercise, I've been spending a few minutes a day working on the gluteus muscles. The theory being that they are the largest muscle group, and muscles burn a lot of energy even at rest. a slight percentage increase in the gluteus would mean a lot of muscle mass. I'll let you know how it goes.
Anyway, lay off the sugar, lay off the artificial sugar, and burn off a few calories during the commercial breaks. That, theoretically, should do it.
Oh -- and don't skip breakfast. |
