Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead....

nasaksc

Hi guys,

After watching the above named movie I was inspired to buy a juicer and give it a try, I lasted 3 days lol, I didnt mind the drinks just craved some normal food.
So here I am almost 4 stone heavier than this time last year after giving up slimming world.
I am now too heavy to safely do my job so weight loss is a PRIORITY,...I am back at the gym doing cardio around 4 times per week, and eating very healthy but after initial loss of a few pounds my weight has not moved for the past 3 weeks, I am gonna get the sack ....but hey hi thats my story.

This is a great place. Make sure you set your profile up correctly and follow your plan and you will do fine. Ask questions when you have them.

So then... fat, sick and nearly unemployed! Bummer. That was a great movie with lots of inspiration for me, too. But I didn't get a juicer. I hate the thought of missing out on all those great nutrients from the pulp. So I "borrowed" my mother's VitaMix and now I make smoothies using whole fruits and vegetables. Way more satisfying and without wasting the nutrition from whole foods. I don't drink smoothies exclusively either. I like chewing food, frankly. So I do smoothies for breakfast, sometimes for lunch and/or dinner, about 4 times a week. The rest of the time I try to eat mostly whole, fresh stuff.
This is a good place to start your journey.

Welcome! And well done for giving up on the cleanse! Seriously - they are really unhealthy ways to lose weight!

The most healthy way to lose weight is to cut your daily calories by a reasonable amount, eat a balanced diet with fruit, veg, and lean meat, and have 10-20% of your daily calories as "discretionary" i.e. chocolate, cake, chocolate cake, crisps and generally yummy things.

That's a terrible film, and the guy who did it is an idiot. You should absolutely not follow this whole silly juicing plan.

Loved that movie, and every weekend I make Joe's Mean Green (it's great but I add some banana to it).

Honestly, juicing isn't 100% healthy for you, but a juice along with a healthy balanced diet can do amazing things for your body! Best wishes!

I apologize. I didn't mean to make light of your situation. I'm sorry about that, for you. I guess my humor is generally a little dark. I'll have to keep a lid on it.

I am thick skinned...very thick skinned actually....so please dont be silly thinking I am offended by your comments, I love a laugh as much as the next person...made me smile really lol

Hey don't give up yet! I was going to the gym 6 times a week and doing cardio and I didn't lose anything for like 3 weeks! Then I changed my calorie intake and it's coming together nicely now. Hopefully your job can be a little patient cause these things take time! Good luck!! :flowerforyou:

Can you juice till the end of your life? no? then don't bother...diets don't work, you have to find the right life style and cook healthy..

I'm glad Joe's infomercial inspired you towards a healthier life, but saddened that you fell for it. Juicing is a no go, sell the juicer and eat the veggies along with all the other foods. Good luck brother.

And what is TDEE?

ldocampo

And what is TDEE?

It's the calories your body naturally burns just functioning. Like breathing, walking, digesting food, etc.

hastingsmassage

TDee is usually 1500 calories, the amount you burn just by being alive, I just learn about it too, no worries
