Im not saying here that I am going on a diet ,however I have decided to try a new lifestyle and new way of eating.
I dont consider myself obese but I am about 25 pounds overweight.

I have now decided to try eating low fat stuff and developing it as a way of life,
I thought long and hard about the no carb thing but after the thinking had ended I decided that wasnt for me.

The past 2 days I have been eating different styles of salads .
I have been eating fish..

I am no longer wanting to eat red meats ..

Its been a long time since I have had any cereal but I have purchased a few foods by the brand name ..Kashi..

I purchased a box of their crackers and a box of their cereal.

I do walk ALMOST everyday and when I do its about 3 miles.

.

I am curious if anyone has ever transformed to this type of life style and what their out come was?

Thanks

Allan
 
One thing you have to remember is that "low fat" doesn't automatically = healthy. In fact sometimes it can be just the opposite since they may add sugars and other additives to make up for the loss of fat. I would try a balanced diet of carbs/fats/proteins if you are doing this as a lifestyle change. Check the stickies on this board for some good guidelines. You can use some calculators like as well to help you track what %'s of fats/carbs/proteins you are getting.
 
you could say I "transitioned" about 15 years ago... to a "healthy foods" lifestyle... I didn't touch fast foods, fried foods, desserts, anything remotely unhealthy...

And ya know what -i gained about 125lbs... :D

Because I didn't grasp completely that fat free/low fat - weren't calorie free - that just becuase it was healthy - that it didn't have calories.

IF you want to lose weight -the way to do that - is part of a lifestyle change -and to have a reasonable amount of calories...
 
check the stickied thread in this (nutrition) forum

you'll find a link to the harris benedict formula...

that will give you a good range to shoot for
