Where are your veggies and protein. Also, you are not getting enough calories. You need at least 1200-1400 calories. Here are some tips that will help you.
Exercise and eat right.
Stay away from fried foods, and foods with high fat content. I.E no mcdonalds, burger king, or fast food.
Eat a 1200 -1400 calorie diet, and exercise one hour a day for 5 days a week.
Eat foods such as chicken breast, turkey, fish, egg whites, (try to stay away from the egg yolks), anything wheat is usually really good for you (wheat bread & pita bread) Incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables into your diet. Fish is also good. Try to eat three meals a day, or you can split up your meals into six meals a day. Stay away from trans fats, and stay on a low fat diet (20 grams per day). Oatmeal, and those healthy bars are good. For snacks, you can eat those 100 calorie packs.
As for lean cuisine for lunch, stay away from that. Lean cuisine meals have a lot of sodium on them which causes you to retain water.
There are also a variety of pastas now that offer whole wheat--just letting you know.
A sample lunch can include: a sandwich on wheat, with a bottle of water and a large apple. Breakfast could be oatmeal, or yogurt with fruit. Dinner could vary. You could bake fish, or bake chicken. Just stay away from junk food and greasy foods. Do not fight untill dinner. Eat healthy snacks. You can eat pop corn without better, celery, carrots, fruits, and soy chips.
For toning, you can do crunches, and push ups. For exercise take up running, swimming, jump roping or anything that works the heart. You can create simple workouts at home without a gym. (at first you might weigh more, but that is due to muscle weight) PS, try to exercise at least five times a week for a hour a day.
Good luck!
Remember to drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated
Were are the veggies and protein
No, this is not enough, when you consume too few calories and fat your body goes into starvation mode. You are eating all carbs and simple sugars.
No, you didn't meet any of the daily food pyramid requirements. There is no protein or dairy there either. What about water? What about more fruit and veggies? I think that you are really starving yourself which is going to put your body into starvation mode when it eats up your muscles and not your fat.
grapefruit is good, but not alone. If you are going to eat cereal be sure its a whole grain like oatmeals. Potatoes arent really a diet food. Too starchy. Apples are good and try a couple tablespoons of peanut butter with it for protein. But you need more protein and you could eat more legumes(deep green veggies). Most veggies and fruits are good but you also need lean meat for protein several times a day.
well lets see.. you have your fruit, your carbs/grains, but not fruit. dairy probley in your cereal. i think all you need to work on is getting in some veggies. also, try finding a calorie calculator so you can figure out how many calories to eat per day. this seems a little low. i could be wrong though. good luck!
yes. congrats
