Hello
I would like to ask a few questions and i would really appreciate anyone's help and support
I'm a female and in the past 4 years I've lost and gained weight more times than i can count, ranging between 10-20 kgs
I've tried dieting with a registered dietitian, it was successful, i lost 15 kg (75->60) I'm aprox. 169cm (also big boned)
but i was starving in the diet and everything wasn't allowed
and i started exercising as soon i reached my goal. I had a few problems regarding my tension headache/migraine so i stopped.
I have an eating disorder, i eat when stressed, happy, sad, all kinds of occasions, and it fulfills me.
So after that i gained around 8 kgs
and then i hopped back to 75
then i did the atkins which was successful (btw i hate meat/poultry..) so it was difficult
i gained the weight that i lost just as fast. but this time i reached 80 kgs
so i went to another registered dietitian and i lost weight till 70 this time with less starvation
but the trouble is my daily scheduleis unstable and irregular, most days im not home, between university and irregular jobs i cant carry food with me.
now recently i'm 73 kgs (more or less)
and ive started exercising at the gym
and i still eat irregularly (morning around 120 g of random cornflakes at 10 a.m) then i go to the gym around 5pm (3-4 times a week), and around 6pm lunch, and i get real hungry at around 11 pm leading me to eat something heavy (i sleep around 2am)
so i dont know if exercise is enough especially for someone who's been through the yoyo effect
i dont know if at the gym, treadmilling at speed 6km/h for 20-25 minutes then bicycling for 20 mins then leg weight lifting, squats, lunges... etc is enough
i do a total of 1.5-2 hrs
if i will lose weight on the long run or just gain muscle and keep the fat
i would like to understand how the body works when it comes to fat burning
and i would like to keep eating regularly because it doesn't add the extra stress in my life...
i'm a very moody person when it comes to food i might like something one day and cant stand it the other
im so sorry for the long post and i do hope someone is willing to give me their time just to brief me on what to do...
Regards,
A person who desperately wants to be fit, healthy and strong (also a regular sized person)
