Diet help !

Okay, so ibeen on a diet called herbalife for a couple months and I've already lost 23 pounds. Now, my mom is refusing to buy me anymore of that diet because she thinks its bad that ikeep on taking it. Basically the diet is consuming the herbalife diet [...

a tea and shake ] for breakfast and for dinner and you eat a good meal at lunchtime. My mom doesnt think ishould keep taking it because its not "healthy" or "normal" and also because its expensive. So now my mom told me shes gunna keep me off the diet for a few months and then put me back on, so iwanna know what kind of food ishould eat to lose weight or maintain it and what type of exercise routine ishould do, mainly to lose belly fat and stuffs.

well if you dont mind me asking, how tall are you and how much do you weigh? you could reply to me in a funmail if you want...because I mean it all varies by your size and muscle mass and stuff

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
And also, too, to help you to know,
That in knowing you, many others grow!

Since you didn't provide any height and weight information, I'll let you do the figuring.

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

I would recomend trying slimfast, I lost a lot of weight on slimfast and its not bad for you. it is simply converting important food groups into liquid. I had a shake in the moring, a slimfast snack bar mid morning, then I had a low fat meal for lunch, then another snack, a slimfast recipe dinner and then another snack bar in the evening. I sometimes went swimming about 3 times a week as well! it really worked
