I don't know how much 7 kilos is ..in pounds...hmm..and about the running..you can try doing intervals..speed walking for 5 minutes running for 2 minutes. And as the running gets easier you can increse the running time or decrease the walking time. And you don't need to go low carbs...just eat complex carbs..carbs that feel you up and aren't empty calories and provide nutrients such as oatmeal and whole wheat bread. You have to look at the labels and make sure it says whole wheat whatever.
well try this.
TIPS:
If you follow these tips you will lose weight.
First of all your body can healthly lose only 2-4 lbs a week. Also i would not reccomend one of those diet books or programs because once you lose the weight you will go back to doing what you did before and gain it all back.
Here is what you need to cut out of your diet or limit.
-sodas they are empty calories and just add fat.
-also juices try to limit 1 cup of o.j. has as much sugar as a can of soda.
-fast food. they provide no nutrients and terrible meals they do have healthly selections at all fast food stores if you pic those you will do much better.
-junk food is also empty calories its ok now and then just don't over do it.
Here are foods that you can indulge on.
-veggies since they are so healthy for you and provide you with many nutrients the calories in them are meaningless.
-water!! you should drink64oz. a day at first you will pee alot but then you will get used to it.
-when eating meat try to eat chicken because it is the best.
other tips
- try to have baked foods not fried.
-eat breakfast and try to have it mostly be complex carbs like oatmeal and wheat bread they will give you energy all throughout the day.
-don't skip meals when you do your body thinks it is being starved so it will hold in more calories instead of burning them.
ACTUALLY DAILY FOOD:
(suggestion)
breakfast: Main course under 200cal ..maybe a packet of oat meal or healthy cereal bar. Along with 1 fruit and 1protein or dairy product (things like one egg, string cheese, milk, low cal yogurt)
Lunch: Main course around 200cal. Salad (low cal salad dressing) 1 protein or dairy product
Snack: 1 fruit and 1 protein or dairy product
Dinner: Main course around 250-350 cal. Salad or Fruit. 2 servings of veggies
Desert: Something under 200 cal.
**make sure ur main meals have over 5g protein and some fiber..to keep ur from getting hungry. Hot cocoa is good they have 25 calorie hot cocoa at ralphs. Coffee is ok just not with real sugar and not too much creamer. **drink plenty of water **take vitamins to keep you energized
WORKING OUT
you need to buy some weights or go to a gym and work on increasing your muscles. because that will increase you resting metabolic rate which is how many calories you burn while simply doing nothing and you will see weight loss as well as losing inches. The bigger the muscle you work out..the more calories you burn. So legs are good calorie burners.
running is also a good way to help your overall apperience.
and pilates is a good way to tone your body a simple pilates
-Denise Austin comes on Lifetime in the mornings..the workouts are fun..and she's really hyper and motivating..its not to hard but I got results very rapidly. She has some great dvd's too. (lost the 70 pounds with that)
-now that it's been a few years later I really like doing exercise classes at my school gym..because I got bored of running miles and miles everyday (too keep my weight off) and working out alone.
go online and find some healthy meal recipes and use them try to reduce the number of calories you take in daily but not by too much. Don't go below 1200 or the weight will come back really easily..even if you don't over eat that much. It's okay to still have desert everyday..just a really really small amount that is under 200 calories.
hope this helps you. Good luck
