Comment on What diets have actually worked for you? by Cats&Lollipops

Diets Feedback: I think I’ve tried to lose weight with all sorts of diets such as the soup diet and shakes, and also eating under a dangerous 600 calories or skipping meals which was all out of desperation. I finally took the time to feed some knowledge into my head on healthy eating and excercising and soon realised that commitment was all that it took to make ones success. I cut out late night snacking and watched my food portions. It depends on every individual and their obstacles.

I lost over 35 lbs from including lots of physical activity into my daily routines and watching what I put in my mouth. Now and again I will eat at fast food places or treat myself to ice cream but it’s not as much as I used to before. Today I’m still kicking near a 40 lb loss and plan to practice healthy eating and excercise for the rest of my life… or else it wouldn’t be a ‘lifestyle change’

Diets Feedback: I excercise 4-5 times a week. I always eat 3 healthy meals a day. I never skip meals. I dont really eat fast food (its the devil), but it can gets hard. I started this short term but i kept up with it. Now that i lost the wieght I cut the time for my workout but I still do it.
GOOD LUCK

Diets Feedback: This is not a good diet. You need 5 to 7 fruits and vetg a day. Most of what you ate is carbs, and not very good ones except for the crackers. You must be starving by now. The biggest Looser diet has the required amount of fruit and vetg, plus low fat protion like beans or chicken and non fat yogurt. You are not helping your body at all to loose weight, but are instead putting it into a starvation mode.

Diets Feedback: Or you could eat whatever the hell you want and exercise. Not a gym either…more like a walk and some cardio.

Yeah thats the one true things that works.

Diets Feedback: to put it more exactly, less calories go in than go out. You could eat 3000 calories a day, as long as you were burning 3500 calories and you’d lose weight.

If you are a completely inactive slug, you may need to consider eating next to nothing. On the other hand, if you engage in vigorous aerobic exercise every day, you can continue to eat what you used to eat in your former lazy slug life and you will probably lose plenty of weight.

To put it another way: “get off your @ss and deal with it!”

Diets Feedback: I tried to eliminate extra salt, and that worked pretty well. I try not to buy all the junk food I used to, and that worked even better. I increased my exercise to a min. of 3 days a week, that works the best. You really have to rethink you’re whole lifestyle. This will sound bad, but I don’t date ‘heavy’ (I’m not just talking a few pounds…) girls anymore. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s their (mostly) unhealthy lifestyle, it drags me down. I can stay motivated to be healthy with a partner who’s always eating the things I wish I could have! I just don’t have the willpower.
