Advice?

Question

Starting tomorrow I'm going to start working towards my weight goal which is about 100 lbs under what I weight right now. Any advice on how to reach my goal? Workouts that will help? Eating habits I should follow by?

Answer

I am too changing my eating habits. I am now 35 lbs from my goal weight. I suggest eating healthier. For instance in the morning I make a smoothie or i have some oatmeal with a few fruits or these crushed granolas in my greek yogurt. My smoothies usually consist of ONE fruit and TWO veggies 1-2 times a week. & ONE veggie and TWO fruits 2-3 times a weeks. I go to the gym and do 3 cardio machines (i.e. Treadmill (20 minutes with a 5 minute cool down >>> Elliptical 25 minutes with a 5 minute cool down. & something else like the bike or stair master for 15 minutes with a 5 minute cool down. On sundays I run on the treadmill for as long as i can. each week you will find that you go just a little bit longer. I went from running for 45 seconds and giving up, I now run for 7 minutes and 48 seconds as of TODAY. Eat 5 meals and don’t miss any !!!!! Carry snacks in your bag to avoid buying junk. Also i’m not saying cut out juice, but please drink more water than juice. I log my meals on my fitness pal and what I do for MYSELF is i don’t do the “eat your calories than burn more than you consumed” I personally workout in the morning . burn 900-1,100 calories at the gym, then throughout the day i make healthy choices. i can either destroy what i worked hard for this morning, or i can thug it out and do it again tomorrow morning. Always remember, LOSING WEIGHT IS HARD, BEING FAT IS HARD. POCK YOUR HARD!! 🤷🏽‍♀️ Good luck. if you need an accountability partner, I’m here!❤️🙏🏽

Answer

Good for you!!! How exciting!! Find a fitness program you ENJOY and a meal plan that doesn’t feel too restricting to help make it lasting and sustainable changes!

Answer

I recommend weight training because increasing your lean body mass helps with increasing your basal metabolic rate! Also I think its helpful to focus on long term sustainable healthy habits opposed to things that will give you quick results :-)

Answer

Cut out carbs. I cut them when I found out I had NAFLD and without changing anything else have lost 20 lbs in 2 months.

Answer

Crossfit! The community is what is helping me reach my goals. EAT! Whatever you eat, do it over a bed of spinach or kale to get your veggies. Protein power has been my morning lifesaver. Have fun on your journey!
