pimple Posts: 490 Joined: 2003/07/08	2004/01/21, 01:09 AM well, sure... it's not like it's a poison or anything... the point is, though, that you need a diet plan to begin with... once that's done, it's just a matter of fitting the ranch dressing in it... good luck!

The best way to go about this is to write down(journal) everything you put in your mouth for 3-5 days. Average this out. At the end of that time, with your normal daily activities, weigh yourself. If you have stayed the same, no gain, no loss, you most probably are very close to your maintenance level of calories. Now you have a place to start. Most probably you will see on your list an eye opening array of foods you can drop. First thing is to "clean" up your diet, substitute sugary, high calorie processed foods with healthy whole grains, fibrous carbs, and lean proteins. Doing just this you should start to see a big change. Then after things level off, start a caloric deficit scheme, like reducing your calories by 250 a day, when weight loss stops, you will have to do another adjustment. Remember, the calorie deficit can come from exercise also, or a combination thereof. This is the best way, can't keep cutting food forever. Hope this gives you an idea. Good luck to you. ============ Quoting from alliesafatty: but see thats the thing i dont understand how to do the diet plan ============= -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
