I’m looking for a diet or eating plan to gain a healthy lifestyle.
August 27th, 2010 Posted by:
I’m 17, 114 lbs, 5′4”, female.
I’m not necessarily looking to lose weight (Though a pound or two off my tummy wouldn’t hurt 
) But I was inspired earlier this week by a teacher of mine. She lost a hundred pounds over the past year through surgery (gastro bypass I believe.) and she had to change her diet drastically. She says that she’s never felt better. She can see and think clearly, she’s happier, full of energy.
I was just wondering if there’s anything I can do on a much smaller scale to get to that level of healthiness.
I typically don’t eat a lot of junk because I’m hypoglycemic and can’t handle a lot of sugar. But I also eat at odd hours of the day and mostly eat carbs.
Any suggestions for diet and exercise to increase my energy and happiness.
Thanks guys

this works for me, maybe it’ll work for you: drink 12-14 8oz glasses of water per day (eat your calories rather than drinking them, i.e. soda, juice, etc.). eat lots of fruits and veggies, some protein and little of carbs and fat. eat six-eight meals a day rather than the traditional three to increase metabolism. and never deny yourself anything because you will crave it, everything in moderation is key. and berries, grapes, bananas, spinach, sweet potatoes, white potatoes with skin, whole grains and lean protein are great to reduce the waistline.
good luck
