I know you shouldnt eat late.. but isnt 6:30 kinda pushin it?... sometimes I dont eat till 7, 8.... and thats not late at all... 10, 11.. thats late..

 

But ya ive lost almost 100 pounds... It all started when I wanted to fit into all the intamins... so ya.. im about 160 pounds now.. I was 250...

 

So I call my diet the "Intamin Diet"..

I have a question! how were able to stand eating rice every day? I tried...blech.

[benzo41190]

I put some brocoli or some chichen in it. I also put in some soy sauce in the rice.

nothing but carbs?! no offence, but that's exactly what you should NOT eat!

 

I took off 17kg when I was 13. I went from 71kg to 54kg in 5 months and I ate as little carbs as possible.

 

LOL

carbs give you energy, carbs speeds up your metabolism. As long as you excercise, you will be fine eating carbs. I you dont eat carbs, you will lower your metabolism and then you cant eat anything you want. I you have a high metabolism, you can almost eat anything and burn it off.

[Sir Clinksalot]

I have been on the "20 carbs a day" for a year now and have lost 70 pounds. Everyone is different, some can lose eating carbs, some can't.

 

Good for you for losing weight. It is hard to do, especially when you get older.

This is my philosophy. When I lost my 100+ pounds I did it all on carbs and a LOT of cardio! When I went to Europe/Hong Kong this year, I put on 15 pounds over those two trips, came back and lost it all eating carbs!

 

Different things work for different people, but it's funny how I have everyone around me preaching to me the low carb thing, and I do just the opposite....

I'm with Robb, diffren't strokes for diffren't folks.

 

What might be right for you, may not be right for some ..

 

A MAN IS BORN ...

 

Okay, enough of that.

 

But yeah, Robb lost his weight on ALL CARBS. Kristi lost her weight on NO CARBS. I'm kind of right in the middle. I cut out some carbs, but not all. I mostly cut out fatty foods (Fast food mostly). I also don't eat late at night.

 

I used to get home from work at 12:30 and I would have cookies and milk, or Ice Cream or something and then sleep. OUCH!!!

 

Now, when I work until Midnight I don't eat anything after 8:00pm. That give me roughly 5 hours of not eating before I go to sleep. I drink LOTS of water (probably 4 or 5 liters a day) and piss ALOT.

 

I have lost 25 lbs in the last year. Granted, this summer I have put on about 5 since I haven't been exercising as much ... okay, not at all. But now that the kids are back in school I have started walking again and will start doing DDR again.

[benzo41190]

^ i dont think i touched my DDR mat at all this summer. But with school starting, i think i will start it up again. I usually played on Heavy for like 45 mins a day.

Wow an all Rice/Cereal Diet, that's Ruff! :shock:

 

Now that you have finished your Crash Program, what kind of meals are you currently eating?

 

Since you dropped your calorie intake to such a low level, it may cause your weight to rebound once you begin to increase the size and frequency of your meals.

 

Most people need to eat 3 to 5 meals a day, avoid skipping breakfast, and try not to make dinner your largest meal of the day. When people eat throughout the day they are less likely to impulse snack on junk.

[benzo41190]

well im still eating rice, havent thought about the future :shock:

[AllisonY2K]

I cut out some carbs, but not all. I mostly cut out fatty foods (Fast food mostly).

 

that's been working for me. my roommate tried to make me follow her diet plan since she lost 74 pounds on Atkins. meanwhile I've lost 50 doing my thing.

 

I'm just trying to eat more sensibly and less junk-food-impulsively.

[BelizeIt]

^When it comes to cutting down on your Carb Intake, what really matters is the "Type" of carbohydrates.

 

I work in the Health Food/Vitamin industry, and I have seem some people get some great results on Atkins. The main thing people need to do is cut back on your intake of "Simple" Carbs, AKA..White Flour and White Sugar products. People often don't realize how many simple carbs they consume in a typical day. It's a Lot!!!

 

People should continue to consume complex carbs, and proteins. (The Atkins regitment of no carbs can be a bit extreme for many people)

 

Once you cut out the Simple Carbs, and add a some exercise to your daily activities, the weight will slowly come off.

 

People often become impatient, and expect to lose a lot of weight immediately when they begin a new Diet program. But your better off in the long run to loss it slow and steady, because your much more likely to maintain your results.

^That is exactly what I did
