hey y'all.
I have been on a diet now (well I'll explain the word diet) for 11 weeks, or 77 days. and I have lost 31.4lbs since.
how?
I changed my eating ways. I decided to only eat certain kinds of foods and make it a habit of only eating so much. Basically I began to count calories.
In order to lose the weight at a respectable amt each week, I cut my calories down to 2100 (roughly, to Start) and presently I have a max daily amt of 1672 a day.
I also exercise on a regular basis, maybe missing 1 day in a week.
I don't drink regular coke or Pepsi, I don't drink energy drinks.
I have Diet Cranberry Juice, water and diet Soda occasionally.
I also have cut out all junk food, candy and unnecessary foods.
I have 1 day a week, which is optional for the day to have some stuff like chips, or alcohol.
I have another 14.8 lbs to go before I have reached my target. Then I need to figure out how to keep and maintain the weight.
So, the reason it's so successful? and how it will continue to work?
I am not considering it as a Diet. It's a change in life, stopping a bad habit or two and gaining some new habits. I now eat properly, maintain exercise.
It's true, "Diets" don't work.. because you go and eat all these special foods, yet when you reach your goal weight, people stop and tend to go back to the way they were and like that, you're back up again.
