A diet and exercise plan, please tell me if you believe it will work?!


Question: A diet and exercise plan, please tell me if you believe it will work.?
Okay, so lately I decided to finally change my lifestyle in order to lose weight... so, I decided on a diet and exercise plan to use, tell me if you think I can get any results from it, here goes:

For the 1st meal I'll be having one pack of flavored oatmeal...
For the 2nd meal I'll be having some Peachs, maybe with a Banana too.
For the 3rd meal, I'll have a Salad with a low-fat dressing. (And, I know to not put alot of dressing on the salad, as even low-fat can be bad sometimes...)
For the 4th meal, more fruit, either Pears, or another Banana and a apple.
And for the 5th and final meal, some special K brand cereal with skim milk.

But now, the exercise plan:

Two (sometimes three) days I week, I'll do weight-training for a little while, about 15-20 minutes, however, every day I do an hour of walking/jogging. But, I spread the walking throughout my day, for example:

In the morning I'll walk for 25 minutes, in the day I'll walk for 15 minutes, and in the night I'll walk for 20 minutes. Is that okay to do.?

And I do drink 8 glasses of water each day to help the metabolism further. And, I usually drink nothing but water each day anyway. I've already completely eliminated sweets and junk foods from the diet, so I'm good there. (Never really liked those kind of foods anyway. XD It was easy to give them up.)

Well, that's it... do you think with this plan, I could see any results.? Thank you all for your help!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Its pretty good. but you might wanna add some meat in there... being on a diet doesn't mean you shouldn't eat the things you were eating before... just enough... with the salad you might wanna throw in some chicken chunks, or Tuna...or salmon...and eggs. especially if you're on weight training the best protein source is still meat products and eggs.

you can consume eggs 2-3x per week and you can eat enough meat althroughout the week. your muscles would need it to repair themselves from the soreness you will get from the gym. just don't forget, no fried, no chicken skin, no bovine fat, just plain lean meat and fish.

i hope you stick to your plan... live healthy! and fulfill your cravings, don't be too hard on yourself. the more you deprive yourself, the more possibility that you will binge on what you're craving for.

don't eat less, just enough.

tip: eat a banana and a bottle of soya milk within 30 mins after exercise. your body needs energy and K and protein. this combination does good.

and drink water not when you're thirsty, but before you get on exercise and in between sets. :)

Good Luck :)Health Question & Answer

Yes that plan will work. But keep in mind that losing weight is a slow process. Don't hope to lose more than 1 or 2 pounds a week. Jogging would be much better than walking because it gets you heart pumping. But I understand you will be walking at work and you might not want to get sweaty. Good luck. Its tough but stick to it.

Yes, you'll lose about 10 pounds in two months if you keep this up.Health Question & Answer

You eliminated all the food from your diet. In your diet you have cereal, more cereal, some fruit, and a bit of veg (probably mostly lettuce). Do you really expect to be able to continue this diet for longer than say...three days.?

I think you are making too many changes at once. You also seem to be lacking a lot of basic nutrition knowledge. I'd start there and do some reading - the "dummies" books are helpful for that. Then, use websites like MyPyramid.gov to help you understand what sorts of foods you should eat (or what you CAN eat) - and start cobbling together a diet from there. Nutrition in a nutshell, however, is as Michael Pollan says: "Eat food. Mostly plants."

That means visit the produce, meat, and seafood sections of the supermarket (where real food is) and steer clear of the middle aisles. Generally, if it comes in a box or a bag, it probably isn't that terrific. Make the changes slowly and steadily. Yes, this requires time, but that's the beauty of it - you can make the changes without even trying if you go at it slowly enough. Sooner or later you hit critical mass, and you can start getting more aggressive with the changes.

Good luck.Health Question & Answer

It;s ok but it would be better this way

1st meal: oatmeal[low sugar, or high fiber]with fruit
2nd meal:Almonds, fruit, low carb wrap with fat free cheese and turkey ham, boiled egg, you decide.
3rd meal:Chicken breast with beans and salad, salmon, tuna, something high in protein
4th meal:same as for second
5th meal: same as 3rd meal but smaller amount

The problem with your diet is that you were missing protein which is necessary for muscle growth and for burning fat.
