You are skinny fat .. you need more muscle, this will not happen over night.. and looks like who ever is giving you guidance is following a quick fix routine, which can end up backfiring to begin with when you 'get what you want ..." then have one helluva rebound when you binge, b/c you have binged, I;ve read your log after trying to be this strict .. focus on the long term hun, not the short term, ... The fat around your butt is thighgs, esp in women is the last to go often & IMO you need to build more muscle there, and have one heck of a diet to tighen that up .. I KNOW THIS b/c look at my before & afters and you'll see... ALL diet .. I DIDN'T really 'train' legs at all, b/c I am genetically blessed there period ...myd said:Yeah, I am kind of under someone's guidenance. I was told not to eat carrots, peas, avocados, fruits, breads, rice, nuts (I do eat almond and peanut), oatmeal, cheese, and so on. I di not have allergie as of my knowledge now, I do have painfull breakouts on my face from pistachio, however I love it but can't eat it often. I HATE broccholi. I like spinach, I make it on canola oil with some onion, garlic, some salt. I like cabbage, zucchini, eggplant, mushroom, etc.
I have my pictures -link- in my log. I want to get rid off my fat around my butt and thights. I have a month to do something visible,I know it is impossible to get rid off everything in this little time. I also put some stuff in what I eat, about my exercise and concerns..newest pic on the very end, with clothes on.
Thank you everyone!!!
You dont like broc? So eat asparagus or green beans?

I want to help you, but you are letting way too many things confuse you ...
^^^^jenscats5 said:Your body DOES need carbs and it's a matter of choosing the RIGHT carbs......complex/fibrous carbs such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, green veggies (dark greens, spinach, and the like), oatmeal are more dense & will stick with you for a longer period of time & give you more energy over say peas & carrots, which are not very dense & are sugary.
IMO, there is no reason to completely eliminate carbs, but it would do you better to eat the right carbs.....
It's the same with certain types of fats - your body cannot produce EFA's thus you need to feed them to your body in the forms of healthy nuts, olive oil, avocado, flax, etc.....
myd, listen to Jens ... if you want to have peas & carrots every so often, sure throw them in ... you are not competing, you want variety, there is no reason for you to limit healthy, colorful & veggies that you like ...
FYI, YES is great but a change in lifestyle & clean eating is the miracle to change your physique ... YES & other supplements are only the iciing on a well baked cake ... There is no magic pill, powermyd said:I got my YES and I am expecting miracle..
Also, finally I found Cream of Wheat, anybody knows how to spice it up?This is a LOT like grits..what's the difference?
TRY out one of those diets I posted for you, and see how it works for YOU ... start somewhere, it's like you are treading water hun ... start somewhere and use that as your base to judge all progress from ... after a week, of you dont like *this* ... swap it out, you want more veggies, *add more in* ... you are still hungry *bump up the fats*, you are bored ... *change your variety up , add chicken here, ground turkey there, lean meat some where else* ... This really is not hard
Getting started is
you've made the right step, You are almost there. Now don't let everyone elses opinions confuse you, you have you start somewhere ...
and make adjustements to meet your goals & tastebuds ... this is FUN, this shouldn't be a project per se ... this is your life.. enjoy it HEALTHILY
