בריתות, ברית, אורולוגיה – מי אנחנו

Ok this is my situation.
I’m turning 16 next april. I had to quit football because of exams. I quitted like 4 months ago and i even quitted any cardio vascular exercise. Like a month ago i began doing like 30 mins a day on the threadmill cause i was getting the feeling that i was gaining a bit of weight.

I need some advice on the diet i could stick to.
I’m a student at college. I wake up at 6 in the morning have breakfast and then i have till 4 until i get home(Monday to Friday). Looking forward for summer cause i already subscribed to my uncle’s gym and i’m even going to swim at the national pool here at Malta.

I just want the diet plan during school days especially cause i’ve been searching for loads of nutrition diets and stuff but they’re all crap. If anyone can help me it would be really grateful.

Thx for reading.

Matt.

First of all, what is your BMI? (body mass index)

to calculate: BMI = weight (kg) divided by height squared in meters:

check out this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index

it is not a very accurate way of determining if you are under or overweight, but it gives a good indication. it is not that good because if you have a lot of muscle, this calculation regards that as fat mass, not muscle mass.

whatever your BMI, try to increase fibre and fruit in your diet, for eg, cereal bars and apples. you have to have intake of carbohydrates and proteins, and a moderate amount of fat intake in order to be healthy. so if you take some bread with you at college it wouldn’t do bad. a suggestion for the bread, if you like it that way, would be to use some kunserva on the bread, and add tomatoes, olives, some garlic or onions, etc… whatever your taste is anyway! also don’t forget a water bottle to take with you. try to increase water intake, it’s good for your health.

i assume you are at a secondary school (or juniour lyceum, whatever they are calling them nowadays, with the new reforms). if it is possible, get your friends and take them for a wald around the school grounds (if there are any!). or else you could try joining a sports activity so that you’ll be sure to keep exercising – some exercise everyday helps a lot, it’s good to keep your mind fresh and keep up your morale. if you can’t do this at school, you could always take a walk (or a run – depends on where you live, and the pollution status of your village) after school. if you are taking private lessons, parhaps you can do your walk while you go to your tutor’s home, for example. if you are studying for your o-levels… yes they are important, but you must take a little break from your studies.

so that’s about the food at school (and some other things hehe). wrt food at home, you should eat breakfast before going to school – it’s true what they say on the cereal boxes, that those who eat cereal breakfast are less likely to increase their weight! add some milk or yogurt to the cereal – it’s good for your health!

when you arrive home from school, you could take a snack, like some fruit for eg. then be sure to eat what your mom/dad cooks for dinner. try to include some veggies, meat and fish once or twice a week and rice, potatoes (preferable not always fried), eggs etc for the rest.

hope this helped, and hope you’re not trying to become as thin as one of those poles used in the roads to light them up… that is not healthy!

I have a sedentary job in front of a computer, involving Programming/Software/Database development and I work freelance. Basically, I am a nerd and a geek, and I love to stay that way. And to top it all, I am f****ng lazy. I just don’t like to travel or work, my mom and sis do.

It was all fine, until I started gaining weight. AT 5-8" now, I am over a 160 lb, and I want to draw the line now. I wish to grow in size no more. Still, my appearance is presentable, and I want it to remain that way. So, I decided to hit the Gym!

I did Gym for 2 weeks, but f**ng they made me sweat like a pig, and I used to get so tired, so I stopped going. I want to exercise, but I hate to step outside my home, and the Gym is 2 miles from here.

I basically want to know some great and easy Freehand exercises, that help in weight reduction. Simultaneously, I’ll cut down on fatty foods. I stopped Coke and burgers for 6 months, so that shows I have perseverance!

Any bright ideas, please help genuinely

I lost 25 lbs in 2 weeks by not eating but once a day (very little) and drank lots and lots of water, when you get hunger pangs, drink water instead of eating. Your stomach will shrink and you will want to eat less.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about this. Please spread the word!

Bonus question: how many cats do you have?

Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll pass this on, I don’t feed Iams.

I’ve got four cats, Bob, Dexter Zeus and Grendel.

tips given at vlcc…….?any body knows……..?

NO MIRACLE in any medicines to reduce weight
Pl. do exercise & dieting

Which of the following would NOT be a recommendation of weight-reduction counseling?

a) Reorganize some established behavior patterns
b) Use the exchange system to keep track of energy intake
c) Perform physical exercise to increase energy expenditure
d) Reduce daily energy intake to less than 1000 kcal to overcome the
decrease in metabolic rate

Reducing the calorie intake to less than 1000Cal is not recommended.

Hi all,
I don’t have the book yet and I have a question. Can I drink any alcohol if I do this weight reduction plan? I have some big events coming up and I’m a drinker so I’ll wait a couple months to start the plan if I can’t drink. Thanks!

He has a picture of my very favorite Chardonnay in the book, Kendall Jackson. He labels it "belly good".

I am 25 and an Ecup. I hate it because I am getting constant back pain and poor posture. I’m 5"3 and roughly 65kilos. I am losing weight but nothing is happening chest wise. In fact it’s like they’re getting bigger *groan*
how can I drop down to a comfortable C (which is what I used to be for many years) without medical breast reduction?
after high school i got sick and depressed for three months, fell to 48kgs — underweight and my chest was a very sad (for me) bcup. and they were the first thing to go.
So losing weight works I know, just not this time
I do not want surgery

STOP!! big breast are beautiful.

gm diet is a special diet for weight reduction

Eat several (5-6) small meals a day…your body will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.
(eat about every 2 hours)
The first 8-10 pounds you shed is water.
Meal suggestions:
1st: piece of fruit
2nd: string cheese, summer sausage, cottage cheese/yogurt
3rd: bowl of cereal
4th: soup/sandwich
5th: a good dinner-meat, potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie…your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy
6th: salad/raw veggies
Drink plenty of water
Drink milk or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)
Stay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods.
Cardio exercise is great, but most people don’t continue for an extended period, do daily simple exercise like walking/hiking…swimming and biking are low impact, playing games like basketball, baseball, volleyball will tone your body and you’ll have fun doing it.

and the after looks like a stick insect – what a shame some people fall for this kind of brainwashing, makes money I suppose, cos its going to cost a fortune to starve to near death and get well again. It s obscene, do You agree?

I agree!

If I run (usually walk) every night for about 20/30 minutes or so, and don’t really have a diet, will a lose weight in 2 months? If so, how much?

If I still eat junk, will it really stop my weight reduction? (This might be a stupid question, but you never know.)

Do you have any tips on losing weight? I want to lose 20 pounds in 2 months, or atleast 15. How can I assure myself this will happen? Throw any tips at me that’ll make this plan work!

I’m fourteen, 5’2/3, and 120 pounds. I know my weight is average, but I do have blubber here and there (haha). I want to get rid of it. Thanks!

Well you might lose a little, but you really need to watch what you eat as well to lose weight. You could also increase your activity.

If you want to lose 20 lbs in 2 months, you should burn I believe 500 calories a day. But with your height/weight it differs. Take a look at caloriesperhour.com and that should help you figure it out.

It doesn’t really sound like you need to lose weight. Just tone up a bit if that’s all you want. Biking is a great way to tone your legs.
