My Motivation Evaporates

   I'm the same job. You just stole my topic; e. On the third day I capitulate and apart from something sweet and some calorie bomb, neither pictures of models can impress me nor my goals to slip into XS clothes; e. I start strong, violent, but when I put the knife to the bone I give up. I also can't sleep at all if I don't eat and I don't have strength, and everything hurts. But I will give you some tips that have been saving the situation lately. 1) Our brain seems to accept diets as punishment and everything forbidden is tempting for us. That's why it's better to indulge in your favorite things a little. This way we will not feel punished and we will not feel an uncontrollable need to cram in our favorite high-calorie foods. 2) Why do we always want the highest calorie foods (usually carbohydrates)? - The brain is the center of our body and controls everything. Calories are energy, and this center needs this energy because it feeds on it - the more energy (food) for it - the better for the body, the point is to be able to expend it so that it does not turn into fat . 3) It is a mistake to completely exclude carbohydrates, because as I mentioned above - they are the food of the brain, it needs food to function properly, otherwise a person becomes lifeless, exhausted, lazy, etc. 4) Intake of protein (meat , dairy products, fish, eggs ...) can help lose weight, do not worry about eating more of them, they will not harm the diet. It is best to eat them in the evening. I read that eating meat before bed even leads to weight loss, because something is released (I do not remember what it was, for good) while a person sleeps. If we first learn to accept our body as it is, and then we start to care about it, not how it looks and feed it with natural and pure products that it needs, we may be able to imperceptibly change our attitude and get into the desired shape, by the way. Healthy eating does not mean starvation and deprivation of the body of its necessary substances, a joke with health should not be!

   The body needs energy. This energy is expressed in calories. If a person needs 2,000 to maintain their weight and eats 500 (whether eating broccoli or ice cream), what happens? The body begins to feel hungry and goes into survival mode, a person does not last long, crowds and returns the lost pounds a few pounds bonus. This is exactly what is happening to you now, you will endure another day, you will cram nicely (you will feel guilty because you are crammed) and you will gain weight in the form of fat mainly. You have a problem and 3 options for solving it. 1 you stay normal (or fat) and accept yourself, you don't fuss too much 2 you start counting calories 3 you eat normally but your life is active (sports, walking, games, cycling, swimming, etc.) to have daily activity , not to stagnate or lie down. The best option is 3, but not everyone has the opportunity, time and people with whom to practice the activity, so most resort to 2, the smartest to 1, but you do not seem to me from them, which is correctable, of course. If you choose 2, you need to calculate the amount of calories you need per day. Then you take 10-15% of it to lose weight. If you need 2000 (to maintain weight) you take out 200 (10%) and become 1800, so you lose weight with diets, because so the body does not go into survival mode. It is desirable, of course, not to eat pasta, but normal food - meat, eggs, nuts, etc. Therefore, for each person the amount is different and most people see things on the Internet such as: to lose weight eat - a stalk of celery, yogurt, 1 egg, 1 blueberry and I think they do the job ... However, in terms of sports, option 3 is the best. with which to practice the activity, so most resort to 2, the smartest to 1, but you do not seem to me of them, which is correctable, of course.

   Thanks to both number 1 and number 2. To number 2, let me just emphasize that I think the most reasonable people choose option number 3, and the people who are on the principle of option number 1 are not the "smartest" among which I did not belong to and I do not know if this should be an insult, but in this case these are people who have come to terms with the fact that they will remain so, people without will and motivation. Everyone should love hell and take care of their body. Being fat doesn't mean you're really happy and that you love each other. Don't get it wrong. And option number 2 is pretty reasonable, I did it and my head would explode. In how many calories there are, in how many. It's hard to do it all day, and it's slowing down your brain. I will not give up but I will continue with a no more stressful mode and that's it. And yet thank you sincerely! -from the author

   It was only when I read this that it became clear to me how aware you were and how you counted calories. "oatmeal, half a bowl of lentils, apple and yogurt for dinner." The desire to lose weight tells me that so far you have not led an active lifestyle. A person who is active does not post such topics. "I've been eating perfectly healthy for 4 days now and I'm doing a hell of a lot of sports." Because I see that it's hard for you to grasp my post above and you immediately enter a defensive position, I'll write it even easier. I guess you're average height for our latitudes, let's say you need 2,000 calories. "banana, scrambled eggs, meat with salad." Your banana is about 200, eggs, I don't believe you've eaten more than 4 (320 cal), meat with salad (unless you've eaten a pound of chicken, which I doubt), you probably ate 200-300 grams of chicken (about 330 calories). How much does it cost in total? As much as a chicken eats. Now you probably already realized how much you did option 2.

   I don't know what you think that in this section about diets write some very deluded and limited people. I made option number 2, eating everything, incl. and cooked meals, and livers, and jam even sometimes I just tried not to exceed 1500 calories. It was just tiring for me to do it every day, and I did it for a long time, but to no avail. A year ago I was actively playing sports. Because of this active sport, every day, heavy workload, my cycle stopped, given that I ate everything. And I was a normal kg. My doctors identified it as the cause, so I stopped, first gradually and then completely. From last summer until then I did not work out at all and now I was just proud that I was doing something for my body for a while, in a positive direction to change it, because I gained weight from sitting. Don't forgive me like I'm stupid and I won't understand you. And in 2 sentences to tell me, if it is not useful and in favor of my question, what is the meaning ... Here is still a site to share. I shared that I feel difficulty and weak will. It's just that, look, the site was made for that purpose.

   From number 1: Author, I'm not fat, I've managed to lose over 30 pounds and keep them, I just want to get in shape and that's why I keep diets - it's already a habit. I am very happy and I love myself infinitely. I just gave you some advice, but apparently you didn't understand the message of the last paragraph. Try reading it again. The point is that if you pursue something obsessive, you will run even more, but if you try to win it in a reasonable way, your success is guaranteed! So it is with money and love and weight. But I don't know if you can understand me this time.

   Darling, beastly diets won't help you much. Because, to starve, however, we all know about the yo-yo effect. So, instead of getting exhausted and risking your health, focus on sports. Yes, I'm not saying you have to overeat with pizza and McDonald's, but it's just physically impossible to live long with so little food. And I've been struggling with a few pounds for years and I've tried everything, it wasn't 100 abdominal presses a day, it wasn't a lunar diet, it wasn't just a salad life ... and in the end I decided it couldn't be continued and I went to a nutritionist. The regime he prepared for me is in line with my needs and my lifestyle, but I will tell you what the main things are. Eat often and in small amounts, with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables. Whatever you eat, read the labels and make sure that the respective thing has less than 20-30% fat content (the products say how much protein, fat and carbohydrates there are per 100 g). Another thing, with a strict diet, a person becomes dehydrated, so be sure to drink plenty of fluids, preferably clean water. It has no calories, but at the same time it is very useful. In my diet it is explicitly written 2 glasses of water before each meal, and as I mentioned I eat 5 times a day! So a total of 2 liters is collected, and on top. And lastly, one day a week should be free for you, ie then you eat everything you want and do not count calories. This was very important so as not to stress the body with constant restrictions. Well, my day off is Sunday and that's when I start eating pizza and popcorn. I lost about 8 pounds, and keep in mind that I'm 30 years old (the younger you are the easier you take off), I work in an office (I stay and don't move all day) and I have almost no time for sports. So think, if you are 15 and add to such a diet and a lot of sports how easy it should be to lose all the extra pounds. Be persistent and you will succeed! Success!

   1500 is starvation. 2000 I gave them as an example because it is considered easy. Now I understand that in my first post you did not understand about the restriction (supposedly to take out 10-15 percent). See all the diets, regimes, etc. for which people give money are based on calories. When an instructor prepares a plan for you, he takes into account your height and weight. Then with physical activity. If you are 165 cm, 70 kg, 20 years old with light physical activity, you need 2103. Here / - 2 Santa and 2-3 kilos. Consider that when you ate 1500 you were still hungry. I'm trying to explain to you that you don't do things like people do, not that it doesn't work. If I put a hammer in a car with manual gears and he will tell me that it does not work (only because he does not know how to start it and drive it). It's best to sign up for sports so you don't have to think about calories and stupid questions.

   And for the will, you have no weak will. And the greatest athlete to put it on a half bowl of lentils and 2 apples will not last more than a week. That's why in my first post I even predicted how you will feel after you stop a diet and get overwhelmed (you will feel bad, precisely because you will think that you are weak-willed, and things are completely different)

   It was without starvation, are you crazy! :) Eat what you need .. break for a while / until you start to lose weight / with the greasy and sweet, then from time to time allow yourself .. The trick is different .. weight loss is achieved with UP to 250-300 minutes of cardio. week .. inclusion of light exercises that do not last for hours .. and for example after cardio for 10 minutes .. For me the result came instantly .. I ran for 35-40 minutes every day for 5 months 5 times a week and nothing. I increased the minutes .. I included light exercises .. and .. now I feel great :) Just another person .. try it too .. it doesn't work in just 5 days .. the results come after a month and that perseverance .. and not today I'm going to sleep I won't train .. tomorrow it hurts me .. no .. eee .. it doesn't work .. I need a little will .. don't go to bed hungry .. what is this nonsense don't eat after 6 after 7 .. pf .. people have said

   Thank you very much for the advice, for the time and for the comprehensive explanations. I go to bed because I have a sleep problem and before 3-4 I don't go to bed, and now it's so close and when I wake up I start to follow everything you told me! -from the author

   Years ago, my diet cycle stopped. I went to a gynecologist, he examined me and sat down to talk to me in a very human way. Explain to me that I have nothing wrong, but probably my cycle has stopped because of the very low percentage of body fat. Send me for blood tests - low hemoglobin, low blood sugar, low iron, deficiency of ... Basically whatever you can think of. In terms of weight, I was not very thin - about 50 kg at 170. There are many women of this weight who function normally. Yes, but my figure is more muscular than the average woman and at this weight I could not bear and give birth to a child and my body just stopped these functions. Then I did not have a cycle for about 9 months. The man turned out to be right - to this day, when he falls under 55 kilos, he starts to have hunger attacks and my cycle stops. The idea is to find the weight you feel. You work well and you work well. You usually look good at the same weight. Good luck and healthy life to all!

   Girls, I forgot to mention something that may be useful to you - when you do not eat bread, the excretory functions of your body slow down. So take oat bran and eat one or two spoons a day with yogurt.

   Ee, 12, fill my soul! A truly conscious woman! I hope more girls read your opinion and listen to your words! I support with both hands!
