Will I lose weight by only eating two salads a day?
hello! I''m 14, almost 15. Will I lose weight by only eating two salads a day? (6 leafs lettuce, 1 tomato&1 can of clean tuna, no oil) I don''t exercise at all. I weight 200ibs, 90 kg. I doesn''t look like I weigh so much though. Please don''t tell me I should exercise because I know I should but I never get round to it. Also, will I have excess skin? My mother says no, as I have a lot of elasticity as I''m young, ans will my nails grow even though and my hair? SORRY FOR SO MANY QUESTIONS, I NEED HELP, AS I''M YOUNG I HAVE NO IDEA. :3
10 Reasons to Lose Weight & Improve Your Weight Loss
Recommended Answer:
You can have lettuce and tomatoes more than 2times a day because it is healthy and barely any calories, but use a light dressing. Also, most people hate exercising so do it without actually going for a run. walk up the stairs instead of an elevator. walk your dog. stop sitting in front of the tv. etc
- If thats all you eat then yes..
- This is a horrible food strategy. Most of the weight you are going to lose will be muscle, which holds 70 percent water. The water weight loss will be the weight you see coming off but it will cost you in how you look. You will look ill, not healthy.
- You need more variety so you get all the nutrients you need, including good fats that your brain and body both need. You want your diet to be something you can stick to for life for the most part ( your taste will change as you get older, you''ll like more foods) you''ll get sick of the same thing over and over as well. It''s extra important for you, because of your age, you are still developing hormonally, (becoming a woman) you don''t want to mess that up with an extreme diet.Most people hate exercise, because they don''t let themselves break into it, and they don''t keep it enjoyable.
The Most Important Thing You Must Understand is you need to keep your program ENJOYABLE! If your brain or body find it too painful, no matter how strongly your mind is committed to working the program, eventually, (usually less than 6 weeks) your brain will make you quit! It won''t tolerate pain.At the same time it''s so very important that you allow your body and brain time to adjust to your new training. From tendons being stretched to complicated metabolic issues, to learning proper form, pace and routines your brain and body need at least 6 weeks to line up to really get things going.
Don''t give much credit to the scale when first starting, it''s normal to retain more fluids, it''s your body''s way of being ready for the next workout. Don''t micro-manage your calories either. Sensible wholesome meals, the quality of the calories is more important than the quantity. Your diet should be ENJOYABLE too, and something you can develop and maintain as a habit.
Workout at your own pace, which in the beginning should be slower, focus more on how you move ( your form) as it''s important to how your body will shape up and that you don''t get injured. Just about any exercise is good and will work, walking, jogging, running, cycling but my favorite and number one choice for losing or gaining weight is weightlifting aka bodybuilding. If your a girl, don''t worry that you''ll get manly muscles, the average steriod-free female builds only a small amount of muscle each year. But that muscle is awesome! Because not only does it burn calories while your working and using them, and while they are repairing and replenishing themselves, but 24/ 7 they consume calories just to stay alive! Just try not to miss a single day of working out for the first 6 months without a real good reason, otherwise slacking off can become the habit. Other than taking your two scheduled days off per week. Rest is important, so get to bed at a decent time as well. Make sure you drink plenty of water everyday. Learn to drink water warm, so you can have it anytime/anywhere. Other than keeping it sensible and enjoyable, remember all the benefits you''ll get from exercising and a decent diet. You''ll sleep better, have better energy, breathing, moods, concentration, endurance, strength, self-confidence, and so much more. It''s really the closest thing to magical powers each human has, so don''t miss out! 45-60 minutes a day, 5 days a week is ideal, but by all means start with less if need be, again keeping it enjoyable is everything! Just start easy, give your body time to start providing you additional energy, keep learning more as you go, and before you know it, you''ll have the body you''ve always wanted, with the loads of extra benefits I pointed out.
