I started dieting for the first time in my life. I should have known better. My body goes into starvation mode so quickly your head will spin! I usually eat healthy, with an occational treat of candy or cake, maybe a bit low on the greens, but not a lot of chemicals or unnessessary fat. I've gained about 20 kg over a period of about 10 years, but when I wanted to get it off, I gained the last 5 in a very short time. So... I changed my diet instead of dieting, and started working out properly instead. I eat less, and especially less "speedy" carbs. I eat small snacks to keep the hunger at bay, and drink more water. I eat greens instead of pasta and potatoes, and cooking is a lot more fun! My workout is done at home, but I have a bike instead of a car so I get natural cardio just by getting to work and back. I have rubber tube resistance bands that I use instead of weights, and I think it's great! I already see more results after weight training than after cardio. I do additional cardio on a small trampoline, but I always feel I have to do some "proper" exercises as well. I will follow the plan here and see how it goes. I already know what path to follow, I just need variety. BTW... I will stay a bit private for now. When I feel more at home here, I'll post some pictures as well. -------------- ----------------------------------- Getting there... -----------------------------------
