The Thousand Calorie Plan :)
I started this yesterday, but I think i will post this here since this is my main blog, i wonder to myself sometimes why i have more than one blog, I should just use this blog to post all my thoughts, today on this diet i didn't do so good, but there is always tommorrow. I did however use the dumb bells my mother gave me. I want to build my upper body so my chest area will look better. I am also doing other types of exercise as well as this. I have been doing it for awhile since i have fibromyalgia. It's something you have to exercise to be able to live with. I am hoping maybe to become more occupied outside physically. It's an annoyance more than anything else. I wil repeat myself that i have used this diet before. :) Years ago and lost down to 115-125 pounds. I actually had a great curvy figure, now i look in the mirror and frown i don't look like the same person i used to be. :) some aspects, my face looks alot better, but i need alot of work. :) Plan on working on it wisely. :) I was considering br surgery.....that's to be continued. :)

The Thousand Calorie Plan
Topic: weight loss plan
I found this diet online, and I hope they don't mind me using it to help me to lose weight. I went on the exact plan in the nineties as a teenager and lost a ton of weight and kept it off for a year or so. I hope that i can do the same way again. :) Wish me luck :) It's easy to count calories this way. :) for instance in the morning a piece of toast 70 w/0 butter bacon 70 calories and an egg 70 that's a 210 calorie breakfast. See how easy it is? As long as you can abide by 1000 limitations without cheating, you can lose up to 4 pounds a week and eat most anything as long as you are in the 1000 calories a day range and make sure you exercise every day. :) 1000 Calorie Diet Menu Cutting back to 1000 calories a day is pretty drastic, and should only be used if you just want to lose a few pounds quickly, or feel the need to kick-start a longer term weight loss plan. Our 1000 Calorie Diet Menu sample packs in as much good nutrition as possible whilst trying to keep it simple, tasty and realistic. Even so, it's not a good idea to stick to such dramatic calorie restriction for more than a week. Not just because you'll be short of essential nutrients, but on a diet of just 1000 calories a day - your body will be convinced it's in the middle of a famine if you keep it up for long. This means it will slow down, in order to hold on to every calorie for as long as possible... not helpful when what you really want when you're trying to lose weight is a lively, active body burning up the calories as fast as possible. That's why health professionals recommend aiming for a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week, and keeping active when you're on a diet - pushing your body into starvation mode is counterproductive.

This menu provides 1000 calories, 60g protein, 145g carbohydrate, 21g fat. Breakfast Banana sandwich made with 2 small slices of wholemeal bread and a small banana. 200ml glass of orange juice Morning Snack 100g pot of low fat fruit yoghurt Lunch 1 wholemeal roll (45g) filled with 70g tuna (canned in brine) and 10g reduced calorie mayonnaise Mixed salad of 50g lettuce, 50g red or yellow sweet peppers, 10g spring onions. Afternoon Snack 28g bag of lower fat crisps (eg. Walkers Lites) Dinner 70g Roast Chicken breast (without skin) 80g Potatoes, mashed with 30ml semi-skimmed milk 60g Broccoli, steamed or boiled 50g Carrots, boiled 100ml Gravy (made from granules) Evening 1 serving of low calorie Hot Chocolate Drink made with powder and water (eg. Cadbury's Highlights) Women will lose 2-4 lbs in a week, men 3-5 lbs in a week, depending on start weight and activity level. It is not recommended that calories be so restricted for more than one week - for most people this level of calories is too low to obtain enough nutrition, and may have the effect of slowing metabolism.
