in Health and Weight Loss
Hi everyone! I'm new here. My friend just told me about this last night. I'm hoping maybe there's advice that could be offered? I'm very obese and I need to lose weight, but I'm not sure at all how to go about starting. Any advice I could have would be forever appreciated.

    Heres some advice I've been told:
    You should start by having three meals a day breakfast lunch & dinner also eat fruit and drink pure orange in the morning with your breakfast think of your plate divided into 4 you should in the 1st one Have grill meet ie chicken ,then the 2nd potatoes or mash and the 3rd have some kind of veg and leave 4th one empty Have Salads & have big breakfast not dinners and drink water it fills you up.
    I hope this helps

    Take measurements! I wish I had taken mine in the beginning. Sometimes the scale doesn't move but you will be losing inches. Do try to get into an exercise routine. If possible, find a workout buddy so that you have someone to help motivate you. Alternatively you can help motivating them! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like motivation.

    In my opinion, the best advice is go slow. Way too many people think they need to radically change their diet, start working out daily, etc. These people are destined to fail because it's just not sustainable for most people. If you think about it, what you're trying to do is undo years and years of bad habits. Take it slow and adopt just one or two small changes at a time. Once you master those, start adding more changes as you move toward eating better and exercising more. Finally, don't forget to LOG EVERYTHING! This means the good and the bad. You have to have knowledge of what's going on with your body if you ever hope to change things.

    Just my 2 cents...

    Log and weigh everything. Keep yourself accountable. Exercise.

    And about the site --
    - Don't ask for advice if you don't want the hard truth. Many here have no filters.
    - Don't trust what people post. Do your own research.
    - Starvation mode does not exist unless you are under 10% body fat and burn many more calories than you eat. Look up the study if you don't trust me (and I highly recommend you do look it up because that one people quote at least 1 a minute and they wouldn't know a fact if it it bit them in the you know what).
