Diet problems - how to avoid?!
Question: Diet problems - how to avoid!?
Well!. I started following a protein diet - thus, you should eat only meat, eggs, cheese, and drink water!. But on the next day I broke it by eating ice-cream, croissant and orange!. The problem is that as soon as I started having this diet I became obsessed with my weight and whith WHAT i eat!. When I ate my ice-cream I was ready to vomit! Moreover with each thing I eat I become furious about me and I'm ready to kill myself for each piece of bred!. Is that normal, hm!?

There's a school of thought about dieting which goes something like this!.!.!. your diet should be as close to what you plan on eating once you lose all the weight!. Or as close as possible!. Do you plan on living on only meat, cheese, and eggs the rest of your life !? I didn't think so!.
So eat sensibly!. Here's a good plan of action:
(1) Eat six small meals a day (around 250-300 calories) per meal!. What should you eat during each meal !? Have a small portion of protein (lean meat, fish, chicken breast) and a carb (fruit or whole grain)!. For half those meals, add a veggie!. Eating several times a day will help maintain your muscle mass, keep your blood sugar steady, and keep you from having cravings!.
(2) Get at least 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week!. If you can, try to also add some weight training!. The key isn't where you start at when you train!. If you can only walk slowly for 20 minutes at first, then do that!. The key is gradually increase your distance/time/speed/intensity of your workout!. That's how you measure how well you are doing!. True weight loss is gradual- the scale will move very slowly, but your gains in fitness will increase at a higher rate and will pay dividends in the long run!.
(3) Once a week, have a cheat meal!. Eat whatever you want!. This will help keep your metabolism higher!. And don't feel guilty about what you eaton your cheat meal!. Eating right the rest of your life doesn't mean watching what you eat at EVERY meal, it's all about how you eat MOST of the time!. Better for you to occasionally feast and not feel guity about it than to feel guilty every time you eat something which is "bad!." And having a cheat meal is good training for controling your eating once you are off the diet!. By choosing when you will eat your cheat meal, you prove that you are in control of what you eat, not the other way around!. It's practice for when you are at your goal weight and its Thanksgiving or a party with lots of food!. One "bad" meal isn't going to break you!.!.!.

i have found that only allowing yourself to eat a certain number of mouthfuls in a day works (i do 12 per meal, but you can set it at whatever you feel works for you) because you don't end up going silly on stuff that you're 'not allowed'Www@Answer-Health@Com
