perfect weight
Hi guys! Im 167cms tall, and weigh 58 kilos. goal weight is 56 kilos.
Do you guys have any suggestions on what perfect weight would be? And how would I reach this goal weight (as in what should i eat and how long should i exercise) because right now Im kind of clueless. I go jogging 30 mins everyday at the moment. I know that biggest problem in nutrition is that im basically adicted to any type of carb. I lvoe bread.... doughy foods. So i decided to not have them as much in new diet. I eat alot of fresh fruit , but maybe i go overboard on fruit sometimes. I also cut out dinenr and have water and tea instead. So what is a good plan i could follow(thats easy for school time also)?

Re: perfect weight
Well you have already had some diet advice, but certainly don't cut out dinner because you probably need to eat a bit more as discussed so cutting dinner won't help in that respect.
30 minutes jogging a day is a goo way to go right now and I'd continue to do that, as I think it will help
.
You're aiming pretty much for 123lbs and you currently weight around 128lbs.
I'd say you could be looking at around 115lbs which is just over 52kg's.
If you try to implement the sort of changes I suggested and keep jogging you should be fine
.
I presume by you jogging every day you do not have the ability to access a gym, but if you wanted to try doing a workout that involves body weight, you could incorporate something like that into your weekly schedule, but you'd be wise if you did, to cut down a bit on the jogging, as you wouldn't want to be overdoing things a bit during the week, when the added exertion would realistically mean having a couple of rest days as well, so as to be prudent regards finding a good rest exercise balance.
I appreciate some of this might feel daunting and I completely get that, as you wouldn't be the first person to feel like that, when it comes to not understanding if how you eat or exercise are the right things to do, but that's why we are here to hopefully try and help you try overcome these little concerns and give you the added reassurance you want.
I would also heed caution on drinking tea believe it or not, for certain reasons.
1. Caffeine and tannic acid can block iron absorption and as Iron is a key component of Erythrocytes, (red blood cells), you could increase your risk of anemia.
2. Caffeine can constrict your blood vessels slowing down the blood flow and therefore reducing how quickly oxygen can get into the muscles organs and brain, which would be a little counterproductive for exercise purposes.
3. Iron is used to create a substance called myoglobin, that stores oxygen in your muscles, so the less you have the less oxygen you can store and this could slightly increase your risk of lactic acid production, (the burn), which is nothing too serious, as lactic eventually dissolves in your liver, but again for exercise purposes this could be a little counterproductive.
4. Caffine is a methylxanthine and as such the xanthines can be converted to uric acid and contribute to gout, but that would require quite a lot of caffeine ingestion and protein ingestion too.
You may only be drinking tea once a day, so I wouldn't stress this point and say it is something you must consider avoiding, but I mentioned it as an afterthought so you can make the choice of whether to drink tea or not, not to make tea sound scary, although you can get plenty of antioxidants in many other foods and drinks anyway, so tea is not a must have drink anyway

Hi lejli! Any progress to report?
Re: perfect weight
yes ago I was 167 cm and I was told the perfect weight is 67. So I think you are about close. Although the standards mayhave changed now.

Re: perfect weight
I found an hour swimming in the morning is a great way to tone muscle

Re: perfect weight
I don't think theres a 'perfect' weight for anyone. Sure theres better weights but no perfect one. The perfect weight is the one where you feel the best. If you want more muscle , your perfect weight for your height will be more than someone that just wants to be 'skinny'. Aim for a look that you want, and whatever weight your at then is perfect.

Re: perfect weight
The simple truth is that losing weight is a simple formula: calories in, minus calories out, equals weight loss, gain, or maintenance. In order to lose weight, you have to eat fewer calories and be more active.
Re: perfect weight
However the small caveat to that is that eating fewer calories has to be done sensibly or you'll stall at some point.
Example 3,000 calories a day cut down to 2,000 calories (Sensible)
3,000 calories a day cut down to 1,500 or less calories (Not sensible).

Re: perfect weight
One thing that will help you lose weight: a Green Tea. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works.
Re: perfect weight
It all depends on what your goals are. To help you determine an ideal weight, you should use a bmi or body mass index. Here's a handy bmi tool that will give you the weight you need to be and it can tell you if you are overweight or not. http://www.am-i-overweight.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
