Do you girls go on crazy diets before summer?
i know i already feel the need to lose the weight i gained from Christmas. already started my obnoxious diets.
i
I've known several that did. The best thing is just cut back a little on the eating but mostly drastically increase your calorie burn with exercise.
Nah i dont bother with diets, just eat smaller portions of food and make sure you eat unhealthy stuff in moderation. At uni in my second year i lost a ton of weight (unintentionally) because i just couldnt afford normal sized portions and just ate less in general, even though i still ate my usual amount of chocolate and stuff.
Also, dont starve yourself to lose weight because that will lead to binge eating. I have a friend who will starve herself to lose weight but then when shes hungry she'll gives in and eat crap and no fruit or veg. Drives me crazy but cant seem to get through to her.
And one last thing - you dont need to lose weight, you are gorgeous as you are and dont think you need to change just to please other people
clever girl as well! agreed!
I'm pretty careful about staying within a couple of pounds of my ideal weight throughout the year.
If I've gained a few during times when I've been injured, post-surgery, or just drinking too many alcohol calories over the winter, then I just decrease the carbs and increase the cardio exercise.
Unless someone is looking to lose significant weight, most people shouldn't need any formal diet plans - just tweaking what you normally eat and getting more active should take care of things in a gradual/healthy way. The fad diets are notoriously unsuccessful anyway.
When I feel a bit weight conscious I just cut back my calorie intake to 1300 - 1400 calories a day and either run or work out for 30 - 45 minutes 6 days a week. Sheds the pounds pretty quickly for me...I also find they stay off if I do it this way
So no, I don't do crazy dieting. I also find I'm much healthier in summertime anyway so usually weight drops off me in summer regardless of whether I'm trying or not.
