What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
I eat 1400 calories a day and I try to do 10 minutes of cardio 5 times per week. (Im just starting out so its all i can handle for now)
I have lost 8lbs so far! (started out at 195lbs)
My question to you is - What else can I do? What exercises do you recommend? — do NOT tell me to run. I have bad knees so running is out of the question.
ALSO- I purchased my wedding dress and it is a size 14 (my current size) I knew I would have to get it altered anyways, but how many sizes can they alter the dress without it looking bad? please help!!!
the dress is a ball gown style dress
As a person who has successfully lost weight, I will answer your first question: How to lose weight.
Here are my rules: Drink enough water to pee clear by noon. Never eat while you are standing or driving or watching television. Shop only for healthy foods so there is no junk food to nibble on. Have fresh fruits and vegetables always available. Sometimes just being thirsty tricks you into thinking you are hungry…..so, drink a glass of water if you feel hungry between meals and you will see that in about ten minutes that you really are not hungry after all. Walk. You say you have bad knees, but if you can walk, you are using every major muscle group and it is by far the easiest way to exercise other than the low impact of swimming. Do not eat anything white. No white flour, no white pasta (eat whole wheat pasta instead), no crackers, no potatoes, and only a couple eggs a week and I know it is hard, but no cheese either. The only white thing you should eat is cauliflower. Cut out the salt, too. White food is bad food. Use olive oil for cooking and vinegar for your salads. Vinegar is a great fat burner and wonderful for your digestive system.
Think of good food as good medicine. Dieting is not about starving yourself, it is about selecting the right foods to put into your body. Actually, after you condition your system with good and healthy foods, you will no longer crave the crappy foods. Really, you’ll see. I can’t stand fatty and salty processed foods any more and think they are gross.
