I am so confused over some of these foods as I diet? Can you give me your feedback?

I am 48 and recently moved to a job where I get very little exercise from. My "normal" weight would be about 165 but hit as high as 178. I asked a friend for some dieting advice and in a week am down to 172. My eating has always been unusual. I never eat breakfast or lunch but from dinner until midnight I could eat more than most people do in a day. I am breaking that up. For example, I did just have lunch because I understand it is best to eat several small meals. I am suffering from a little anxiety because when I am hungry I would just go grab something but now I am backing it down.I am unsure of certain foods since there is contradictory info on the web. For example, I know fish is a big part of dieting but I am not a fish eater. I can eat tuna with mayo. Is that ok? What about the fish filets that are breaded and frozen? Eggs? With or without the yokes?I've been eating a lot of salad and went from ranch to oil and vinegar. No breads at all? No potatoes? I cannot starve myself so I am looking for filling foods. And I have been drinking a ton of water.

How to Lose Weight Hiking

Recommended Answer:

try this to lose a LOAD of fat weight really fast ...its HIGH healthy fats such as Macadamia Nut Oil (6 tablespoons a day with your meals) ...moderate protein ...the usual food + whey isolates and very low carb (under 30 grams a day max) ....fibrous green veg only but you can eat a LOT of these as they are mostly fiber so the carbs don't count....this will force your body to begin burning its own storage fat for fuel....on 1 day per week have a refeed of whatever you want to reset your metabolism and Leptin hormone so your weight loss doesn't stall...as you can see its extremely easy ....the fat inches simply dissolve and then eventually your 6 pack will come through ...

  • Potatoes are good just don't fry em. Bread is good make it whole wheat. Eggs are super good. Fish fillets are good you can always take out the breaded part . Skip the manoaise and just eat the tuna. Oil and vinegar is perfect
  • So many diets out there is mind-boggling, try to stick to things that are more closer to nature Like Fresh fruits fresh vegetables lean cuts of meats, seeds and nuts.. Cut down on packaged and Processed foods. As for exercise incorporate into your lifestyle cycling and walking Climbing the stairs at work So on and so forth
  • You got hold of some bad info.First, the reason you have been binging at night is because you skipped breakfast and lunch thereby forcing your body to trying to make-up for all the nutrients it had been deprived of since you got up in the morning. It's good you stopped that, but you really need to get something to eat for breakfast even if it is only a couple of mouthfuls of food.Second, fish is usually part of a weight loss diet program in the sense that it is lower in calories per serving. The same could be said of lean meats including chicken, beef, and pork. Third, you need to understand the mechanics of weight loss and gain. Each day your body burns a certain amount of calories from just keeping you alive; it takes energy to keep your body temperature constant, heart pumping, and lungs breathing. That amount of calorie burned is called Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and for someone your age it is around 1500 calories. This means if you did nothing but sat in your chair all day and you ate more than 1500 calories, the excess unburned calorie is converted to fat when you go to sleep. That is what body fat is - excess calories.The converse of that is if you consume less than you burn - a caloric deficit. This forces your body to convert body fat to fuel and is how you lose fat/weight. Keeping all this in mind, the strategy of weight loss is to increase the amount of calories you burn daily (BMR+exercise) and consume less than what you burn off.In reality although not good health, you could eat anything you want so long as you do not exceed what you burn from BMR+exercising. This is why some diet excludes breads and potatoes - actually carbohydrates because they tend to be caloric dense. But the truth is that if you had the will to limit the amount of carbs, you can still eat them.Eggs are very good source of protein, however the yolk is also very high in bad cholesterol. But it gets complicated because the scientific community is divided on whether consuming cholesterol actually increase cholesterol level in your body.Frozen anything tends to be less nutritious than the fresh counterpart. This is because the essential nutrients will breakdown over time. Even the orange juice you buy in cartons have less than 10% of fresh squeezed orange juice because from the time the oj in stores is packaged, delivered, and bought and consumed by you, al least several weeks would have passed.Here is some suggestions.:1) Continue with eat several small meals. Spread it out over the day even if it's just a few mouthfuls in the morning. Breakfast is important because it primes your body for the day and if you starve it in the morning, it will try to slow you metabolism down to conserve and this means you burn even less calories (lower you BMR).2) Look to foods that are nutrient dense - more bang for your buck. Avoid foods made with refined or bleached flour because they will make you hungry sooner. Those kinds of foods are packed with "empty calories" in that they have high amounts of calories but very low amounts of essential nutrients. If you eat them they will fill you up quick, but once your body sorts through them and finds nothing useful, it will make you hungry again. Notice that this is how most people get fat because when they get hungry again they eat the same things and continue a vicious cycle. Eat food that have fiber which has bulk and takes longer to digest. This will keep you satiated longer, too.3) Get some exercise. I know work can be a problem, but if you had time to eat at often as you stated in the past from dinner to midnight, you have time to exercise. Exercise can be a simple as taking a walk or using an exercycle/elliptical. When you are sitting at your desk at work, take breaks regularly. Get up and move around for a couple of minutes. If that is not possible, stand up and take several deep breathes. Make sure your posture is correct when sitting - bad postures interferes with breathing and this forces your body to slowdown.The name of the game is calories. Always end up each day with a deficit and you lose weight. Fake your appetite out with foods that are nutritious
