Need tips to lose weight

No, you don't need to cut any foods out unless you have some sort of sensitivity to it. You just need a calorie deficit. There are many ways to achieve a calorie deficit. You can avoid exercise and lose weight just with your diet, you can eat less and exercise and lose weight, you can fast some days and eat regularly the other days and lose weight, all that matters is that a calorie deficit is created and you WILL lose weight, barring any medical problems.

Def check out the sexypants link posted.

I've tried diet alone, and vastly prefer diet + exercise to lose weight because I get to eat more and like how my body looks with the exercise. You can have ice cream and pizza, but while you are losing you can look into low calorie alternatives to your fav "bad" foods. I have made low cal muffins, brownies, and cheesecake that make indulging fit easier into my lower calorie goal. The recipes section of the forums is a great place to find these.

You can still eat pizza too - Try a thin crust pizza instead of a deep dish, or just have less slices than you normally would.

You can still eat ice cream.. Just save up the calories for a single serving and make sure you weigh it. Mmm...

Good luck!

by the wat ie lost 46 pounds in 4 months doing this so you cant tell me it doesnt work

so i guess both ways work! i lost 90 pounds in 2013, and i ate anything i wanted!

!!!!! Say what? 90? Really? Geeeeze. I was good to get 30. Well, if I had kept with it, I could have reached 90 -minus the plateau. What did you do to lose it that quick? Just butt your butt during exercise or strictly watching what you eat? (You look fit so I'm guessing exercising. lol.)

i saying if you want to add that to your lifestyle. theres a black bean pizza that is really healthy for you i meant the stuf you buy at like dominos and pizza hut, but you guys are adults and can do whatever you want. she asked for advice and i gave mine just as you are doing. she can decided to do what she likes.

For fun, here is the Mayo Clinic on water intake.

How much water do you need?

Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.

So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

Also, how much water you should drink is directly affected by both your activity and environmental factors, not to mention person rates of perspiration.


Soo....Boom.

What is wrong with the stuff at Pizza Hut and Dominos?

if you let it be. frozen yogurt would be a much better choice and you can make way healthier pizza then that crap they sell in stores.

I havent gave up any frozen pizzas since I started this sight and guess what Im losing weight. Yes I jumped up to 192 but I didnt record it but since Oct lost 11 lbs including eating frozen pizzas, pastas cheese cakes cookies chips

When making claims, it is best to provide the information to back up the claim. While you have found a way of eating that works for you, it is not necessary and will not be sustainable for everybody. A calorie deficit is all that is needed to lose weight.

I would cut out wheat, that contain gluten and sugary concentrated drinks, eat lots of protein and veggies , seeds and nuts, fruit is good too but in moderation because of the sugar content.

IN for extremely misleading and ridiculous anecdotal evidence

I'll be over here losing weight and eating foods I enjoy, including ice cream and pizza occasionally.

OP:
This is not necessary, unless you have a medical reason for eliminating an item.

What foods should I take out of my diet and what foods should I add?
What are good workouts to do.?

To help you out. Eat and drink like you normally do log it for a week and tweak on what you can cut back on and do portion control....I used to drink 4-6 ozs of creamer with my coffee and at least 20zs a night of wine then I tweaked that and other foods... I didnt eliminate anything in my "diet" just added more fruits and proteins and eat fiber enriched foods to keep me fuller longer.

Okay... water...

For example, a person who weighs 150 pounds. Half that weight is 75 pounds.

Convert pounds to ounces.

75 pounds = 1,200 ounces

Which in cups would equal 150 cups of water a day.

NO! Do NOT drink 150 cups of water a day - that make no sense at all and will kill you.

I do beg to differ on that. It all depends on what you do with your body a day. If you're exercising and or lifting weights, you need that water. There are TONS of people and I have a few on my MFP page that do water checks throughout the day and they all sit at around 200 ounces BY NOON! I'm not saying you HAVE to do that, but that's what I've read just about everywhere that water is the most important thing to weight loss. And I speak from experience that drinking just water definitely helps you to lose weight. It replenishes what your body loses through work out and sweat of course. Your body needs water. The weight loss--sure you can eat a couple of slices of pizza a day and be under calories and still lose weight, but I tell you what, your body is going to feel drained so bad because you're not giving it what it NEEDS. It lives healthily off of a balanced diet.

75lbs of water is over 8 gallons of water. Be realistic here.

I disagree do the research !!!

You said you've done the research and made the claim. So...back it up.
