Another diet help question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: How can I lose weight while living at home? I eat what my parents eat so I can’t buy salads and things unless my parents have it?
Can someone advise me on how to lose weight while living at home?
I want to lose 20kg.
I’m 18 and I am 165cm and I weigh 75kg so I am way over weight.
Please some helpful answers…

Answer: According to Paul McKenna, there are 4 rules to losing weight.
1. Eat when you’re hungry. Your body knows when it needs food and when it doesn’t. (Explain to your parents that you know you’re overweight and you’re trying to get it under control before it becomes a health concern like diabetes.)
2. Eat what you want, not what you think you should have. This will keep you from feeling deprived.
3. Eat consciously and enjoy each mouthful. Pay attention to what you’re eating. Don’t read the paper, watch television, have conversations, or do anything else while you’re eating. And especially stay away from the computer. By paying attention to each bite and chewing slowly and deliberately enjoying each mouthful, you’re giving your body the opportunity to let you know when it’s had enough.
4. When you’re full, stop eating.

As you get used to following these rules, you’ll find you’re leaving food on your plate after each meal, or that you’re starting to take smaller portions or both. Soon you’ll find that you’re losing weight a little bit at a time. Remember that it’s not healthy to lose too much at once because your skin can’t snap back immediately. You won’t want to lose more than a kg (and probably a little less) each week to keep within a healthy range.
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
