I just read Tan's article on how he lost weight. Is there someone out here that can tell mi if what I'm eating is too much? I'm 14 this year, weighing around 55-60. My height is 162. According to my school, books and calculations, they all say that my weight is perfectly normal, but I look so fat and clumsy, and I have a tummy which I wanna get rid off. I think losing arund 3-4 would bring me to the "slim" range already.
today, i ate
lunch:1 extremely small plate of rice with ingredients. I think the ingredients include mushrooms, eggs...etc.., the size of the bowl is around the the size of a CD-ROM (top view) and it gets smaller at the buttom becoz of the curve. anyone would finish the rice in minimum 5-6 spoonfulls. I used to eat a bowl almost 2 times bigger.
afternoon:due to extreme hunger of the unsatisfying lunch, I ate a bowl of instant noodles. the standard packet size with eggs. I have no idea how many calories it contain.
night:I ate, (again) a very very very small portion of rice. with curry and 2 potatos (sliced so I guess that would make 1 full potato?), vegetables and small prawns. then I had a yohgurt, corn soup and pear.
roughly, am I eating too much? at least to lose some weight.
Thanks for any potential help.
Hello Blueboy,
I'm here to give u some tips on losing weight and eating healthy.
If you are asking me if you are eating too much. I would say it's not about the quantity but it's about the quality of the food and the time you took the food.
Rule number 1 to lose weight.
Never skip breakfast. Your spleen works the best during morning and need rest during the night. If you know how your body works, you will be able to manage your food well according the way your body works. Have an apple or 2 slices of toasted bread with low fat margerine or milk with high fibre cereal. It will help u to eat less during the day and give u more energy for the day. You need the energy and maintain your metabolism rate. Eating less or nothing will conserve your energy thus lower your metabolism rate.
If you are a morning person as you wake up really early in the morning like 6-7am. You can drink a glass of warm water with lemon squash in it to help u to cleanse your colon and digestive system. Then around 9am, have your breakfast.
Instant noodles are NoNo because the noodle itself has no nutrients and the packet of seasoning is high in sodium aka salt and msg.
Eggs are high in cholestrol so becareful when taking them.
What you need in your diet is low in sodium, low in sugar, high in fibre, high in nutrients.
Fill up your plate with 80% of veges and 20% of some other high in carbo or high in protein food will give you more energy, digest easily and lose weight. You don't have to starve while trying to go on a losing weight diet.
Night time. It is best not to have high carbo food during the night as it is the slowest to digest among all food. Have ur last meal 3hours before u sleep so that your spleen can rest during the night.
You can leave your yogult, pear, soup in between ur meals. Fruits are best to be taken alone and an hour before your main meals.
If you plan to dine out. Either bring your meal with u or be more picky at food. Try not to eat food that you do not know how much calories it contain. I saw a recent newspaper about US promoting the new burger which has 1400 cals in it. It is equivelent to one day allowance of calories.
Similarly, a normal burger with fries and coke is also equivelent to one day allowance of calories. SO unless u plan to have only one meal per day. Don't go for fast food.
Hope this help.
