OUR CONTESTANTS TIPS AND SUCCESS STORIES

DATE FROM TIPS OR SUCCESS STORIES

1/2/18 Hopefully Skinny Try to drink 1/2 your body weight ( in ounces ) of water a day.
1/2/18 Saturn Looking forward to any dietary hints. I will be getting a knee replacement soon, so any walking exercises will be limited.
1/3/18 Hopefully Skinny

Saturn- sitting exercises with weights. Get your upper body into shape while you heal. If you have an indoor pool you can use that is great exercise too. Best of luck.

Each one of your meals should include a protein source, a fat source and low-carb vegetables. Constructing your meals in this way will automatically bring your carb intake into the recommended range of 20-50 grams per day. The importance of eating plenty of protein can not be overstated. This has been shown to boost metabolism by 80 to 100 calories per day. High protein diets can also reduce obsessive thoughts about food by 60%, reduce desire for late-night snacking by half, and make you so full that you automatically eat 441 fewer calories per day... just by adding protein to your diet. When it comes to losing weight, protein is the king of nutrients. Period.

Protein Sources: Meat (Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, bacon, etc.) Fish and Seafood (Salmon, trout, shrimps, lobsters, etc.) Eggs (Omega-3 enriched or pastured eggs are best). Don’t be afraid to load your plate with low-carb vegetables. You can eat massive amounts of them without going over 20-50 net carbs per day. A diet based on meat and vegetables contains all the fiber, vitamins and minerals you need to be healthy. There is no physiological need for grains in the diet.  

Low-Carb Vegetables: Bell Peppers, Broccoli, Asparagus, Mushrooms, Zucchini, Spinach, Avocados, Cauliflower, Green Beans, Lettuce, Garlic, Kale, Cucumbers, Brussel Sprouts, Celery, Tomatos, Radishes, Onions, Egg Plant, Cabbage, Artichokes. Don’t be afraid of eating fat, trying to do both low-carb AND low-fat at the same time is a recipe for failure. It will make you feel miserable and abandon the plan. The best cooking fat to use is coconut oil. It is rich in fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). These fats are more fulfilling than others and can boost metabolism slightly.

Fat Sources: Olive oil, Coconut oil, Avocado oil, Butter, Tallow. Eat 3 meals per day. If you find yourself hungry in the afternoon, add a 4th meal.

1/22/18 Saturn Ring Eating a lot more soup and salads. Buying Progresso stock soon :-)
1/22/18 Doughboy One step forward, two steps back. I need to watch what I eat and then exercise

It is often claimed that drinking water can help with weight loss, and this is true. Drinking water can boost metabolism by 24-30% over a period of 1-1.5 hours, helping you burn off a few more calories. One study showed that drinking a half liter (17 oz) of water about a half an hour before meals helped dieters eat fewer calories and lose 44% more weight.

2/3/18 Gene New Scale! I guess my old one was trying to make me feel better!
2/20/18 Admin

Do your grocery shopping with a list and a time limit; that way, you're less likely to stray into the processed foods section, or buy unhealthy snacks that happen to be on sale.
