Every time I try cut down calorie consumption I get serious constipation which leads to headaches, abdominal pain and gas. I thought this diet may be a way to avert that.

You're starving yourself. You need 1500 calories a day to survive. No wonder you're having problems. You need WAY more nutrition than that.

ReplyDeleteif you go there it'll tell you what you need to put more or less of. You input what you ate and your height and weight and what not. (Put in your weight as maybe 15 lbs less than you are, that way your not getting a diet for someone who needs to lose as much weight)
Sounds like not enough dairy, no fruit.
Probably you could lose weight on that, but sounds like a pretty boring diet that would b hard to stick to. Throw in some cottage cheese mixed with lowfat yogurt.
Celery dipped in peanutbutter. So long as its not a lot of pb lol :) good luck

ReplyDeleteYou need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Sorry but eating a whole head of cabbage just doesn't make any sense at all. So no this is not a good diet.
Any diet that excludes foods from any food group are usually fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. Yes these foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean out the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you've heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take a basic daily multivitamin. Don't look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
Last, you HAVE to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of undigested fats and toxins it contains.
Good luck.
