Hi.
I am thinking of drinking alot of soup and water, eating alot of vegetables and fruits…. Is this a bad diet?
Also, the soup will not be made from stratch.
Let me know please
Thanks
to lose weight, eat well and move more.
all the diets in the world arent as good as that for keeping it off.
you need a balanced diet including fibre, carbs, protein and some fat. its about getting the balance right. dont cut out on one particular nutrient.
Balance and eat healthy snacks.
Hope this helps
Ready made soups are heavily laden with salt so be sure to watch your salt intake. You should eat a healthy balanced diet including protein, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruit. Drinking too much water can cause other health problems so be sure not to exceed 1.5 litres per day (6-8 glasses) and drink throughout the day rather than binging on it all at one time. The food standards agency website is very helpful http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/healthydiet/nutritionessentials/drinks/drinkingenough/
I cook home made stews, soups,and other meals ie spag bol and curries. How do i know what calories i am am consuming?
I don’t use lots of oil and use lean meat where possible even bulking up my food with more veg ie squash and sweet potatoe. My salt is always meased to the lower end and i don’t drink pop.
15.Avoid using butter on bread, potatoes etc. If you must, use a small amount of margarine.
Also i know that using margarine is 1000% worse for our bodies than using butter so how can you suggest this?
healthy eating is part keeping you healthy. i’m a professional along with my close friend, susan. everyday i eat exactly 2200 calories. the last time i had chocolate was 2005!!
susan has had 5 kids, and due to healthy eating they are he healthest children ever.
hi Jo, i am in the same boat as you, i am trying to loose weight before my friends wedding and i am trying to stick to just fruit, veg and veg soup. I am also taking multivitamins to ensure i am still getting my vital vitamins
I am still unsure to how good for my body it is to eat like this, how long have you been doing it for and how is it going
thanks Bianca x
hi im milly.
i think the best way too loose weight is to moderate what u eat and when u exercise if u eat more than u exercise ur gunna put on more weight than u take off.
everyone wants to be skinny buh remember it takes time good lucck (:
hi people.
if your serious about looseing weight i would reconmend lighter life a diet that digs ur pocket a bit, but it works u can do it for weeks and see the diffrence quickly.
or slimfast but in my opion its a waste its starving yourself it does help in some wayys bbuh its not my cup of tea tbh.
or you could start a group and meet people with the same problem ,like weight wachers or rosemary conlley they all have effects in some wat
y.
healty eating is very important and good diet is a better you (:
Hello. I’m not overweight, but i dislike the little bulge i can sometimes see through my clothes. I live with my parents so they’d notice a diet/dramatically increased amount of exercise. I’m cutting down what i eat and keeping a food diary, usual intake is about 1500 calories. still, that little bump remains. i do sit ups too. 140 a day.
help?
