Like Bill said, it is tough to start out an exercise/healthy eating habits during the holidays, but at the same time, I dont think it will be much of a problem, since Ill only be having 3 family dinners, which are thanksgiving, christmas day and new years... But I feel like its one of those moments when you just feel like saying FUCK IT, and just doing something. 
right now Im just trying to get everything organized. the biggest obstacle is coming up with a meal plan. I want to start up by having a healthy cereal in the morning, then sometime in the afternoon have a meal replacement shake, and then have a light dinner. I dont have a problem eating salads or fruits.
Mike(AP), what do you think about meal replacement shakes?
I was at a nutrition presentation in school and they gave me a sample packet. the brand is proV60. says that its a great meal replacement, excellent night formula. whats your opinion on these type of shakes? |
Don't cut out too many calories. Starving your body is one of the worst things you can do. If you don't get enough calories, your body will go into survival mode and start to store everything it can get in the form of more fat, which is exactly the opposite of what you want. You probably don't want to drop below 2000 calories per day, 1800 is the absolute bare minimum. Complete nutrition is the best approach. Ensure that each meal contains protein, fat and carbs, all in good proportion. A "diet" is a very bad thing because your body thinks it's starving and you end up worse off in the long run.
