That's why I love BT. You don't buy shakes you eat real food! When you eat low carb you find you don't get hungry & don't crave sweets.
I actually think we eat waaaaaay too many carbs, wheat etc in our diets. With BT you have a free day once a week where you can wihtout guilt eat your treat foods! I love that! The second week I baked my favourite Nigella cheesecake & could only half a slice - (cheesecake is my weakness...)
You really do need to drink a lot of water - thirst can feel like hunger. Also we need to keep hydrated as you are well aware I know.
BT is advertised on the morning show I think but also online...
But it's not the only low carb diet. I found Atkins worked but it stopped working IYKWIM...
I can't do shakes because I don't like all the crappolla!
Persoanally I really dislike diets that cut out one type of food or another, as from personal experience you lose heaps of weight but learn no good habits and pile it all straight back on again. I reccomend learning a little about calories, and choosing low calorie food so you can eat more and not be full. This was you will not be hungry but your total calorie intake should be less. You can do it on your own, or joing a group like Weight Watchers who tend to teach lifestyle changes rather than sudden weight loss diets.
Also, there will probably be some exercise you can do, it is just a case of finding the right one. So if you are immobile then some chair exercises for your upper body. If you can, leg raises when sitting can be really beneficial and there are lots of similar exercises you can do. Some leisure centres offer aqua exercise classes for less mobile people. It depends on why you cannot currently exercise, so speak to your GP or contact a personal trainer who specialises in injury or disability and see what they suggest.
You have got my brain ticking dangerously overtime
upper body work..yep...I like that
calorie counting.....hmmmm I could do that but I do eat WAY to many carbs.
I cant do much leg wise as I have a big loop that is holding together my number 2 exit which is helping it heal back together BUT every 4 weeks I have to get this stich replaced and tightened so that my hoo haa comes back to were its ment to. This means that I have alot of pain for 1 1/2 weeks of the month were if I sweat and it goes there (youd be surprised how much you feel) it feels like knives due to the rawness of the flesh, let alone stretching and trying to squat at all after ive had it done.
So yes waist down exercise is OUT! Im going to dig out J mans hand weights later.
Ohhh yoga is amazing maz!!!! I use to do it twice a week (need to get back into it) and after an hour of it I would walk out of there feeling absolutely amazing and light without a care in the world
Could you for instance, give yourself a smaller plate, so you end up having a smaller portion, but it fills the plate more, that way psychologically you mind sees that you are have a full plate infront of you, reality is that the serving size is smaller. I saw that someone actually lost quite a bit of weight by doing this, I think the plate had a different colour in the middle and she was only "allowed" to put food on the inner blue circle.
Also try smaller meals more often, so you would do 5 meals a day rather than 3 big ones, and keep any carbs to the start of the day, so that your body has the opportunity to burn them off. Switch to whole grains/meal.
Oats for breakfast with some fruit is a great kickstart for you day, it helps keep everything regular Also skip the "light" foods espceially yogurts etc, as most of the have extra sugar in them instead
We only have carbs at dinner occassionally and we found it makes a big difference.
I know it is hard to drink water, I too go long periods without it and then realise and skull a heap , but I find that if I am craving a soft drink or something sweet, that I make myself drink a large glass of water first to "fill up" that way I don't feel the need to go back for more, and I can have a small treat and not feel as guilty.
I agree with the light weights, upper boddy work out.
I do have a diet that is quite strict, but it goes for 8 weeks and it kickstarts your metabolism, it is high in protein, low in fats and no carbs, I am happy to PM you it, and explain it in a bit more detail, I used it as a kick start to lose my baby gain and it made a huge difference and I have kept the weight off and am still 4kg what I was pre preg with DD
Ther have been some great suggestions, goodluck Maz you can do it
Weight watchers all the way!!! You can eat what you like (as long as u stick to your points). It teaches you more about changing your lifestyle than "dieting" as such IYKWIM. I dont like these Tony Furgerson ones, i have a friend who went there and had to cut out potato, bread, pasta etc... stuff that i say!
Just look at my ticker and i have only been doing WW for 3 weeks! Yes ofcourse i do some exercise.. but u can just lower your points to counteract the no exercise until u can get moving again. And.. its only $1 to join at the moment!!!
