just eat rather nomally but you have take notice to serving size and watch the calories but more of the fat calories, if you want to lose weight then just stick to healther choices even as simple as picking wheat instaed of white bread <3
The best diet when you can’t exercise is anorexia. Try it!
I did, and it really works!
Ok. A good diet, well, this one really isnt a plan, but it works for alot of people:
5 carbs per day
6 ounces of meat
8 or more fruit (wow)
2 milks
3 fats
my mom told me how good this diet is, the weight watchers diet.
portion control. That is how I lost my baby weight. Eat portions only the size of your fist, my grandmother used to say, if you want to loose weight “push away from the table” I think this is what she meant. It worked for me. You don’t have to deprive yourself of anything, just control your amounts!!!
If you follow these tips you will lose weight.
First of all your body can healthly lose only 2-4 lbs a week. Also i would not reccomend one of those diet books or programs because once you lose the weight you will go back to doing what you did before and gain it all back.
Here is what you need to cut out of your diet or limit.
-sodas they are empty calories and just add fat.
-also juices try to limit 1 cup of o.j. has as much sugar as a can of soda.
-fast food. they provide no nutrients and terrible meals they do have healthly selections at all fast food stores if you pic those you will do much better.
-junk food is also empty calories its ok now and then just don’t over do it.
Here are foods that you can indulge on.
-veggies since they are so healthy for you and provide you with many nutrients the calories in them are meaningless.
-water!! you should drink64oz. a day at first you will pee alot but then you will get used to it.
-when eating meat try to eat lean meats like chicken because it is the best.
other tips
- try to have baked foods not fried.
-eat breakfast and try to have it mostly be complex carbs like oatmeal and wheat bread they will give you energy all throughout the day.
-don’t skip meals when you do your body thinks it is being starved so it will hold in more calories instead of burning them.
ACTUALLY DAILY FOOD:
(suggestion)
breakfast: Main course under 200cal ..maybe a packet of oat meal or healthy cereal bar. Along with 1 fruit and 1protein or dairy product (things like one egg, string cheese, milk, low cal yogurt)
Lunch: Main course around 200cal. Salad (low cal salad dressing) 1 protein or dairy product
Snack: 1 fruit and 1 protein or dairy product
Dinner: Main course around 250-350 cal. Salad or Fruit. 2 servings of veggies
Desert: Something under 200 cal.
**make sure ur main meals have over 5g protein and some fiber..to keep ur from getting hungry. Hot cocoa is good they have 25 calorie hot cocoa at ralphs. Coffee is ok just not with real sugar and not too much creamer. **drink plenty of water **take vitamins to keep you energized
go online and find some healthy meal recipes and use them try to reduce the number of calories you take in daily but not by too much. Don’t go below 1200 or the weight will come back really easily..even if you don’t over eat that much. It’s okay to still have desert everyday..just a really really small amount that is under 200 calories.
hope this helps you. Good luck
I understand also. A low carb diet will work. Good luck.
go to http://www.thedailyplate.com.
you chose how much weight you want to lose and it calculates how many calories you should consume.
you then use the website to track everything you eat and it tells you how many more calories you can eat that day. it also allows you to track the calories you burn doing everyday activities like walking or sitting in class. it’s awesome. it makes you sooo much more concious of what you eat. i lost 15 pounds on it since october.
that is a tough one. You need to find some way to move around, because staying immobile is the worst thing for your health. Especially if you are overweight. The best thing if you are trying to control your weight is avoid foods that are going to turn to body fat really easily. The worst stuff has lots of refined flower and high fructose corn syrup. Most snack foods and fast foods are loaded with that stuff. The best is to buy food from the poultry and produce sections of the store and cook it yourself. You will be much healthier that way, and less likely to become obese.
Sensible eating is always the best way to go. Drink plenty of water.
It is very important for you to do the exercises that you can do. Talk to your doctor about exercises you can do – I have a friend who has severe rheumatoid arthritis and she does strength training and other exercise and she finds it very helpful.
I hope these sites help. Best of luck.
I have knee problems in my left knee and standing, jumping, and lots of walking really bother it, so I tried Nutrisystem as a way to lose weight instead of exercise and I did so well on it. I lost 47 pounds (but then got pregnant so I stopped but now I’m going to start again) and felt more energetic and healthy. The food comes prepared and it doesn’t need refrigeration. Most need to be microwaved and some need boiling water. I really enjoyed the Italian dishes they had. Good luck.
Try out the bood 6 day body makeover it shows u all the healthy food u should eat and don’t forget to drink plenty of water at least 100 ounces a day
Cut the salt out of your diet.
There are also alot of excersizes you can do sitting down. There is a show on tv where they do them for people who need to sit but I don’t remember what it is called. You can probably google it.
Exercising in warm water has many benefits. The warm temperature of many therapeutic pools (95° to 98° F) increases blood flow to muscles, which helps the muscles relax. As your muscles relax, you will be able to exercise more comfortably. The buoyancy (what causes you to float) helps support the arms as you slowly move them through the water in an almost effortless fashion. Buoyancy also greatly decreases the amount of body weight placed on the back, hips, knees and feet. When you stand in waist-deep water, only 50% of your body weight is put on the lower part of your body; in neck-deep water, only 10%. Therefore, walking and leg exercises may be done with little or no weight on the painful joints of your lower body.
Water is 600 to 700 times more resistive than air. The even distribution of water’s resistance affords a safe means to exercise to gain strength without soreness or risk of serious injury to arthritic joints. Strengthening and range of motion exercises performed in a warm pool are less painful and safer than other forms of exercise.
I did well with Weight Watchers and didn’t exercise all that much. I’m preg now, and can’t exercise that well (I have asthma and my preg lungs just simply don’t hold a lot of air). But can you so some simple stuff ofr your joints? I don’t know a lot about RA, but can you stretch and suck, even if you’re doing something like sitting and lying down? Maybe even light yoga? It may not help too much with weight loss but perhaps it would make you feel better physically. And that would help with loosing weight too. WW is great because you can monitor your weight and such on line.
