 |
|
I have over 100# to lose, but am confused as to whether I should just concentrate on my nutrition to lose fat first. I'm thinking that if I did weight resistance now that I would be making my fat solid. Am I correct in that assumption. I'm not sure what the heck to do! H-E-L-P  |

| i would have you focus on diet and just start some walking everyday...find a track you can complete but yoy have 1 goal...do it in less time everytime you do it...so after a while you will have to add in some bursts of jogging then running to beat your previous time...the wt will fall off...what's your food paln? |

Thank you Swanso5, I try to eat oatmeal or cold cereal w/a piece of fruit and skim milk for breakfast; but for lunch and dinner, I don't think about until it's time (I know...I have to work on a meal plan)  Do you have any simple meal suggestions for burning off the fat, but yet still enjoying a tasty but filling meal? Appreciate your input. |

the simplest meal plan to follow is this:
meals 1 and 2 - protein and fruit
meals 3 and 4 - protein and veg and/or salad
meals 5 and 6 - protein and healthy fats
fruits - any
veg - any except potatoes
salad - any
protein - lean red meat, fish, dairy (yoghurt, milk), lean chicken, eggs, powder
heakthy fats - fish, walnuts/almonds/nuts (all unsalted), avacodos, fish oil, olive/safflower/flaxseed oil
evenly spaced and evenly portioned meals every 2 - 3hrs eating until full but not stuffed and not waiting until starving to eat |

Be sure to add carbohydrates other than fruit. Fruit is great, but grains are "complex carbohydrates" and will sustain you longer as well as the protein. Carbohydrates are protein sparing, meaning they help prevent you from breaking down protein for energy use and slowing the metabolism. |

Hi,
I agree with Swanso that starting with a focus on nutrition and doing some walking would be a good start. In a few months incorporating some strength training would be great. Strength training won't make your fat solid. It willhelp you burn calories, become stronger, and gain muscle.
I think you should eat more than 3 times a day, but make your meals small. Start slow and don't try to go for a drastic change all at once. It's important to find a nutrition program that is right for YOU, and that you can stick to long term.
Let me know if I can help at all, and good luck!
