Thanks man, good info to haveOriginally Posted by The Youngn
Basic rule of thumb to losing weight...burn more calories than you take in. You drop weight then.
Something easy i'd recommend to you is working on your metabolism. Your lunch and dinner right there sounds amazing but not good for a full day's meal. Wake up in the morning and have yourself some breakfast. One small bowl of cereal is fine. Between breakfast and lunch, have yourself a small snack like a Power Bar or something relative to that size. Have you lunch like what you posted....healthier dressings ie. vinagrettes. Once again, between lunch and dinner, have yourself another snack like a little fruit or something. Have your healthy dinner and if you need to then have a small snack after that.
With this above, portion yourself with the meals. You don't need to fill yourself up but make yourself satisfied. By having more small meals a day, it keeps your metabolism working all day. Having less meals that are bigger leaves a lot of calories laying around because your body gets overloaded with so much at a time that your metabolism doesn't handle it all.
Caffeine is also good because that gives your metabolism a boost as well. Have a cup of coffee about 3 times a week.
Hope this information helps and always glad to see someone take that step towards a healthier lifestyle. I'm not a complete health freak but I've learned to watch what I eat after my metabolism slowed down. I also get in the gym 5-6 days a week and run 1-2 miles on the treadmill before my workouts. I'd love to give more advice but there's a lot of info to be typing everything on here. Working on your metabolism will help you out a lot though
