Anyone want to suggest a diet plan for me?
Hey everyone,
I'm starting yet another diet today, but I'm not sure what I should do this time. I have done water diets, where you drink a ton of water to keep you full and eat less food. I have counted calories, carbs, protein, etc. I have done exercise and diets combos....nothing has worked. I think my major problem has been that I make the diet too strict and hard to keep up with. When I would measure all of the nutrition facts in my food, I nearly went crazy. That diet lasted for about 2 weeks.
So, I'm starting a new diet today. I planned to keep track of calories, and tally up how many cups of water a drank a day. Also, I would limit myself to one Diet Coke a day. (I'm like addicted to it so yeah) And that's it. It would be simple, but effective. (I hope) So what do yall think?
If anyone has suggestions for a good - simple - diet, please post. I don't want to hear about this many servings of veggies and this many servings of so and so. I eat well, just too much I think. I love vegetables and eat plenty of them. I think my diet is well rounded so I don't want to change it that much, but I'll take suggestions. Also, I'm not looking to build a lot of muscle, because I'm actually already kinda muscular. I have an athletic build (in fact, if I get fit, I plan to take up a lot of physical activities, like swimming, jogging, hiking, mountain biking, etc.) It
For diet info:
I'm 15
I'm 180 lbs
I'm 5'5''
I want to lose 30 - 50 lbs
If anyone has a good plan let me know.
