Diet pill?

[rocky_road]

So. I'm 17. I've been working out forever. Sports all my life. I'm healthy. But, I have 10 pounds to lose. Anyway a diet pill would aid this process?

I have heard that diet pills are unhealthy, but I was wondering if their is one that I could actually benefit from. Or, are they all bad?

Just cleanup your eating and train hard...for me it really helps to keep a food journal!

Have you thought about changing up your diet? I wouldn't mess with the diet pills.

I have the same the problem. The diet that I lost 20lbs on, just was not working. I would eat more; eat less; mess with the macros, zig-zag, etc.

So, I started a CKD this week. I'm on day 4 and, so far, the results are amazing. I'm not taking an fat burners. I'm only lifting weights; no cardio. Its a DIET, so I will only be on it until I reach my goal (likely just for 3-4 weeks). Then I will make some adjustments for a maintenance lifestyle.

NcyGirl That is a great diet for results...I can can just never stick to the darn thing! Good for you!

Yes, I'm loving it. I had to do something to "shock" the body (if that's the right term").

Oh, the first two days were HARD. I'm using Mr. X's calculation sheet. 144 grams of fat & only 57 grams of protein. That's a lot of oil to get down. To be honest, my carbs were under 30grams, not 20. lol. However, I'm impressed with the results and I feel wonderful.

I'm looking forward to my carb-up on Friday.

nyc girl.. good on you for keepinw with that.. I've attempted it sooo many times but always seem to give up by day 3 and convince myself that I need the carbs.

I just worry that when ( like you.. I only plan to go on it for 3 weeks or so) I decide to re introduce the cars, I'll be bad and bloaty!

If you use Mr. X's spreadsheet, that will help you out alot. I wasn't strict the first 2 days. Hell, being under 30grams is alot better than nothing. Days 3-5, allowed me to have more protein (mmmmm, chicken thigs w/ skin ). Tomorrow is my last day, and then I carb up (and will have Glucorell handy). Yes, the weight loss (so far) is likely mainly water (3lbs). But, I feel great.

When I'm done with this, my carbs will be lower than before. Also, I plan on incorporating more starchy veggies into my diet in lieu of grains and breads.

The link in my sig is very handy if you need additional information.

You're young honey, I bet you are actually not taking in enough food. Post up your typical day and let us take a look. The biggest mistake most make is not giving their body what it need and that causes your body to just hold on to whatever it can.

Sure thing. I know what you mean about taking in enough food, but i'm preety sure I do. I consume a LOT of food....and the calories definetely add up in my case to a heft amount.

I've been recording every meal and work out in a notebook since March 15th, and it's going preety well. Lately I have been trying to record things before I eat them but I find this hard to do when i'm like, binging on crackers or pretzels (unfortunately this is also the time that I would benefit most from recording before eating~~~i'm working on it.)

Should I record them all lol?

I'm gonna start a new post and record them all, lol K.

honey record everything.. you may be surprised at what your cals are? I was when i did! www.fitday.com is a good one to go with.. not 100% but fairly accurate.

then we can go from there.

you may be taking in the cals but your macro's are off...

if you give us the info we can help ya tuts

 

[rocky_road]

Every morning I consume as much as I have time for, lol.

Usually a combination of 3 of the following:
Cereal
Fruit
this really lean "sausage" pattie--they are delish and nutricious
whole grain bread
waffles or pancakes........god I love breakfast!

I pack a midmorning snack of cut-up vegetables and a protein added (some people get pissed when I bring fish to school, but thats ok, lmao!)

I usually consume way too much gum throughout the day. It's auctually usually sugarless, and I here thats really bad for me especially since i'm trying to lose weight. I'm trying to cut down on it, I think.

Lunch- Usually the chicken salad i described at the beginning of the last post ^
It's my most healthy option.
Always a full cup of skim milk at this time

Snack- it varies

Dinner- it varies

Snack and dinner depends on when and how i'm working out. I'll talk more about that later.

I have to admit that sometimes I eat wayyyy too make crackers or honey twist pretzels or stuff like that. I'm not really into like, potatoe chips, or french fries, or stuff. I think my brain is so attracted to like more healthy snacking options, but I end up eating too----not really too much of any of the things, but I eat a combination of so many different cracker types, all at like once yano? How do I stop this, if i'm craving crackers and am trying to cut down on gum which would normally distract me from eating crackers. Should we stop buying them? maybe i need to eat more regular food.

yes.. do it for a week and then its easier to see what your cals and macros are. it can all be figured out in fitday really easy right down to every cal!

after you post it all then we can see where exactly changes need to be made etc.

I've seen so many instance that the cals are to low for the activities its crazy and the body just shuts down. may be your case beings your young and active.. and then it may not be. but if you give as much detail as possible we can help you
