Anyone here has better idea on how to lose weight more easily?
i've been on an 'eating' diet & lost 3kgs in the past 3wks.. i worked out maybe for 4 hours total during that time. i read some place that you have to keep your body fed, so that your metabolic rate picks up & keeps on working to burn the calories, fats etc... so eating is just as important as exercising.
counting calories helped too, cuz it made me conscious of what i should & should not be eating..
& cuz i was eating all the time, i had to make sure i was eating the right stuff. i made my own meals about 80% of the week, from salads to sandwiches, wholewheat pasta & home-made sauces.. its a lot of work (mostly cuz i am super lazy), but its been completely worth it considering i've barely worked out & am not starved outta my mind.
on a regular day, i start eating at about 10am.. & kp eating till abt 5-6pm. breakfast is usually coffee & a grapefruit (which i hear has fat-burning properties), a sandwich or salad, sometimes some cereal.. & lunch is usually d same as breakfast (cuz its just easier). then i snack on some water crackers or fruits like berries or yogurt from abt 3pm on & off till abt 4 or 5. snacks are usually bite-size, so i don't need to fiddle with wrappings & holding stuff, & just need to pop them into my mouth & chew.. & i only take stuff i like cuz if i've to force myself to eat something, i'm gonna rather starve.. & when i starve i start getting crazy cravings..
then all the eating stops at about 5ish.. & cuz i'm fed enough for the day that i don't get hungry for dinner. but if i do get hungry, i'll grab a glass of skim milk or an iced milo & snack on some nuts..
when i've to get outta the office & run around, i'll make sure i pack some fruits or biscuits with me. i've got one of those ice-packs coolers & thermal containers that keeps them cool so that even if i've been lugging them around outside, its still fresh & chilled when i need a munch. water & mints also help keep cravings at bay, especially when i'm tempted to grab a quick meal on the road cuz its so convenient.

hope this helps, or at least gives you some ideas about what you can do to quit starving & still keep the weight off..
