What Is a Proven Way to Loose Weight?

Question by Shulaar: What is a proven way to loose weight?
I am 44 years old. 5’6 and 240lbs. I eat healthy. Moderate excersize to low excersize. I used to be aneorexic for 6 years in my 20’s. My doctor suggests my body just wants to hold on to the fat now. I absolutely hate regimented excersize, hikes, or walks. I do have a problem with remembering to eat on a timely basis. It is not unusual for me to go 8 – 10 hours and not eat anything. But I try to remember to eat and I just can’t be consistent with it. I tried Phen/Fen diet 10 years ago and lost 50 lbs which I gained right back with my last child who is now 9. (I am not worried about the health risk of Phen/Fen diet, doctors said I am fine) I really would like a “miracle” drug that would help me but they all have appetite supressants which I DON’T need. Please give me your ideas.

Not sure how to lose weight without exercising. There really is not miracle drug because you can’t stay on it forever and once you stop if you haven’t changed your lifestyle the weight will come right back.

The alli pill is OK if you eat a lot of fatty meals but if you don’t then it’s not worth it for you. Ephedra was great but that’s probably never coming back.

Eating breakfast and those small healthy snacks between meals really does keep your metabolism going and they are so important. If you don’t have anyone to send reminders put them on a note in front of you or if you are at your computer set it to pop up on your screen like an apt reminder.

Good luck, I hope I’ve helped.

Have you tried doing exercising with a friend? or had a friend to send you friendly reminders asking you what you have eaten so far for the day? You have a 9 year old, do they like to go bike riding? If so, join them. Movement is what does it, and remember that the # on the scale is not always as important as the # in our clothes.

Eat right and excercise. That is the only miracle that will work every time. I have had success following both Atkins and Weight Watchers. Excercise is still important. I am suprised that your doctor didn’t state this. If you hate regimented excercise, I would suggest finding an activity that is fun that provides this excercise. For me, it’s martial arts.Doesn’t even seem like excercise.
You are still thinking like most people that fail at dieting. You are looking for a miracle drug instead of looking at the tried and true benefits of diet and excercise. If you do manage to lose weight but don’t change your lifestyle to support that weight loss afterwards, you will gain it right back and then some. Good luck.
