Answer

Diet is a big part of losing weight. Of course working out is great for you but if you aren’t pairing it with a healthy diet, your results will be minimal. For the gym, I would start of with incline walking on the treadmill. I find that it burns a lot of calories and also better on your joints. Slowly work in weights but I would see if you can partner with someone who is more experienced so you don’t hurt yourself. Good luck!

What you eat is definitely the biggest part of weight loss! I eat lots of lean meats like turkey, chicken, and lean beef. Lots of veggies and sometimes if I’m not really hungry, but I need to get my calories and protein in I’ll do a protein shake. For snacks I’ll eat things like almonds, cheese, veggies, hard boiled eggs, and Greek yogurt. Fiber is also super important when trying to lose weight and healthy fats like avocados or I’ll cook with olive oil for a healthy fat. I cut out all bread, pasta, chips, sweets, and pizza, but if I’m craving sweets I look for a low calorie low carb option on google and use a sugar substitute like stevia. I cut out sugar completely but for me I needed too, but definitely keep your sugar intake lower. I stay under 80g of carbs in a day too. I drink only water and aim for no less than 80oz a day. Water helps you burn more calories. I drink a bottle of water before meals so that I keep myself from overeating. For exercise I do cardio like an exercise bike or walking and I do a light weight training mainly for my arms and upper back area. I work out 6-7 days a week for an hour. But start with 3 days and work your way up. I’ve lost like 45 pounds already! 15 to go till my goal. Just be easy on yourself and take it slow. Try doing one thing at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed. For me I cut soda out first and then waited a few months and started diet got that down good and started working out. Good luck!!! You got this!!!

Answer

Diet is just as important as exercise. I learned that logging you intake of food not only opens your eyes to how much your really eating but also helps you control what you eat and hold you more accountable. I started a diet in April and have lost 28 pounds so far. I use a free app to log my food call my fitness pal. I have also only been eating 1200 to 1300 calories and making sure I eat plenty of lean proteins like chicken/turkey and fish, fruits and vegetables. I also cut sugar and bread out of my diet for the most part.
