I just love answering these weight loss questions. Here’s another:
Question: im on a swim team, and its only during the summer. our practices are daily and it goes for about 3 1/2 months, so the weight comes off easy. the problem is, after practice, im left to just sit, and eat. im not too much over weight, but i would like to lose 20-30 pounds. and it would be really convenient to lose it in about a month. like i said, i have swim team, so its not like it would be really unhealthy to lose that much in that little of time. if you still believe it is unhealthy, im ok with 2 months. my question was what kinds of foods should i eat, how much should i eat, and how should i keep myself motivated to not eat all the other crap in my house. not getting the junk food isnt an option because i live with my family, and i dont want to make them give up the stuff too. please help!
Answer: 1 month probably is not the best even if you do swim a lot. 2 months is a lot more healthy and realistic.
Loosing weight is something that many people have difficulty with, but if you are motivated, you will do just fine. Be sure to eat lots of fruits and vegetables at each meal or as a snack. Make sure you look at portion sizes and try not to overeat. It is really easy to overeat when eating junk food and when you are distracted. Be sure to know what you are eating (don’t eat in front of the tv and look at the nutritional information on the food) Also, plan out what you are going to eat before you go to your kitchen for a snack. Think of something healthy and have your mind set on eating only that.
Keep in mind that eating junk food does nothing good for you. It can make you fat, break out, and make you not feel good about yourself. You eat the junk food for a minute and then its gone. Was it really worth it? I mean after that you just feel bad about eating it so your answer should be no.
