I ve been trying to lose weight for over a month now and no matter what I do it's just not working i was just about to give up when i lost a few pounds and instantly gained them back again any advice?

Answer 1

I have lost over 90 pounds in 7 months. What you seem to be losing is water weight.

I suggest you look at cutting your calories down dramatically. I have lost my weight with 1200 calories per day. I eat anything I like, BUT i stick with 1200 Calories only! This has allowed for 3-4 pounds per week.

I have used minimal exercise ( I walk one mile per day in the morning.)

If you do this you will lose. You just have to learn to count your calories.

Answer

Walk everyday at a reasonable pace for 45 minutes. Cut out any foods with high fructose corn syrup, transfats or saturated fats. Cook at home so that you are certain of the ingredients. Drink several glasses of water a day, eat your veggies and protein, and get enough rest. A 1200 calorie diet is too low for most people, so you want to vary your diet daily from this very low to a reasonable 16xyour current weight so that your body doesn't think it is starving. There are lots of websites with reasonable plans and ideas for eating to lose weight. 1 to 2 pounds a week is reasonable loss and it should stay gone if you do not revert to old habits. Keep in mind that your age and any medications you are taking can slow things down a bit.
