Let me know if my diet is good to lose weight fast?

Hey guys i started weight loss regime on 26th august 2013 and at that time i was 75Kg. Today i am 71Kg but i am not very much happy as the weight loss is too slow :(... i have been doing treadmill+little yoga+aerobic. In addition to that i have been taking into account my calorie count.

    You aren't eating enough to fit your macro or micro nutrient quotas, it's also impossible to tell what you're eating from vague descriptions like 'omelette' and 'home made curry'... these could either be very low cal or ladened with fat, depending on how they are made. Also you haven't listed ANY vegetables, with only one piece of fruit.

    Basically no, this isn't a good diet to lose weight or even survive on. It's unhealthy in tonnes of ways.

    plus think about adding some resistance/strength training into your routine.

    Weigh everything you eat on a food scale. Track everything in grams or ounces (or if it's only entered in MFP as the serving "1/2 cup" but the label says 60 grams, say you served yourself 30g - input 0.5 serving) If you make curry, weigh all your ingredients and use the MFP recipe calculator. This is the MOST IMPORTANT THING you can do. You have to track your calories precisely.

    The reason you are losing weight so slowly is because you are eating like a child.

    The faster you want to lose it, the quicker you will fail.

    Dont undereat, if you undereat you will never be lean because you will be losing too much lean body mass. Add in some strength training while eating a deficit, it will help to retain your muscles while losing weight, thus lowering your bodyfat percentage. A lower bodyfat percentage will make you more lean and tight.
  • Throwing a daily food log out there won't do much good, particularly with no indication of ingredients or portion sizes. Just make sure you follow your appropriate macros, incorporate weight training 3-5 times a week, and you'll be on the fast track. If you absolutely hate cardio, don't feel obligated to go run 5 miles a day-losing weight is 80% nutrition anyway, particularly in the beginning. That being said, your daily intake doesn't seem substantial enough for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, unless you're extremely sedentary. Up the protein and fats and it'll help with your satiety and energy for maintaining workouts.

    Your weight loss isn't all that slow like your saying. I just did a google on what 75kg = 165lbs and 71 kg = 156lbs. So you have lost 9lbs in 6 weeks. that isn't bad. You should be striving to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week for it to be a healthy weight loss. Also if you lose faster than this, you will 99.9% gain it right back with more on top of it. You also will most likely get saggy, lose skin too if you lose too fast.

    Why are you in such a hurry to loss weight so fast and then to not have a proper diet that will let you lose the weight, but also is healthy for you.. Veggies, fruits, etc. Basic food groups.

    I also agree with others that your diet is not any good and you need to eat more.

    It would also help us if we all could see your food diary, to get a glimps of more than one day to see if other days maybe better for you than what you posted.

    My rate of weight loss is the same as yours... I started around the same time, too. :wink:
    1-2 pounds (0.5-1 Kilo)/a week is great.

    What is it about working out that you don't like? Perhaps would you be able to find something that you enjoy that doesn't feel like "working out"? Even if just a simple walk or bike ride?

    Then don't exercise. If your only goal is weight loss all you have to do I eat at a calorie deficit.

    But remember there are many reasons other than weight why one should lead an active lifestyle.

    44 kgs in 4 years 3 months 12 days. Please , don't **** yourself ( sorry, but you must listen this ).
  • You have to have a caloric deficit. Let's say if you normally burn 1400 calories then you eat let's say 1100. The second thing is that cardio is not that effective at helping you lose weight and instead you should be resistence exercises or exercises that use your body weight. This way you can shorten your workouts but they'll be more effective.

    If you eat the same thing everyday, you're gonna have a bad time...

    How to diet for weight loss in 1 sentence: Set a calorie goal incorporating a moderate deficit, and set proper macronutrient goals, and eat whatever you'd like that helps you reach them.

    The end

    It doesn't matter what you eat. Eat what you like. Just stop eating when you've reached an appropriate calorie limit for the day. It's not rocket surgery.

    To the OP: if you don't want to exercise, don't. I hate exercise too, haven't done any for the last few months and have been losing weight just fine. All you need is a calorie deficit. But you will need to eat enough to make sure you're not losing too much muscle. Like others have said, stick to your calories. That's all you need to do.

    Well I would agree with you on the workout front, I have plenty of excuses why I don't but it comes down to the fact that I don't want to find the extra time at the moment (I know that I will have to at some time in the future though)

    So without exercise and a sedentary lifestyle (I spend 8 - 10 hours a day driving) I have lost 38 lbs in a little under 4 months and to me that is a little fast and I will be increasing my calorie goals next week.

    Moral of the story? Weigh and log everything that passes your lips and stay at the calorie goal MFP sets for your lifestyle and weight loss goals and what do you know, you lose weight :happy:
