I want to lose weight, but by doing it right through diet and exercise. However, I am not sure which is better as there seems to be literature stating one of the other as to which way you should eat meals.

So the basic question is, which is better for weight loss: Eat only when hungry (still in moderation) or each several small meals every 2-3 hours?

The problem is I have relatively slow metabolism. I had blood work done it isn’t anything medical, just really slow metabolism. I can go several days without being hungry, and faint as a result, without ever feeling the least bit hungry. On the other hand, trying to eat every 2 to 3 hours (even just an apple or something else equally small) makes me sick to my stomach. Anyone with ideas?

Thanks!

Yes, I know that fruits and veggies are generally the route to go as it’s nearly a no-lose situation but what about all this other stuff I’m reading about? Fiber & wheat? Rice? Grapefruit? Are there really foods within our categories of groups that can stimulate weight loss, aside from just dieting alone? If so, which foods stimulate? Which are “false friends”?

I have just aquired an exercise bicycle from a friend of mine who was moving that didn’t wish to take it with her.
When I go to the gym (rarely) I usually use the elliptical machine, but since I have this bike now, I would much rather stay at home and workout.
My question is for those of you who ride exercise bikes, is it really just as effective as other machines at weight loss, or will I have to ride at longer intervals to achieve any type of results?
For the record, I’m 26 yrs old, 5′6 and weigh 130lbs, trying to get down to 120lbs, or at least stay in that range.

JT asked:


Whenever I lose just a couple of pounds it brings on considerable anxiety. Keep in mind that I do need to lose the weight and I experience the anxiety BEFORE I realize I’ve had any weight loss. Anyone know what might be the reason for this? I am sure it is not psychological. Thanks.
I am not taking any meds or diet drugs/supplements. I am just cutting down on carbs and cutting out fat.
The anxiety is pretty severe.
I use very little sugar to begin with.

So my workout routine is this- 30 min of cardio (usually eliptical at 230 watts) m-f and then I alternate muscle groups daily, but I lift weight for another 30 min. On saturdays, I attend a body pump class. During my cardio, I burn between 450 and 500 calories, and I sweat like crazy. I don’t want to increase my cardio more than 150 min a week, because personal trainers have advised me not to. I try to work abs a little bit everyday. I am doing a lower calorie diet (1500-1700 a day), and I try to eat something every 2 or 3 hours to keep my metabolism up. I lost 20lbs in 2 months, and now I can’t seem to loose any more weight. I want to loose weight naturally (meaning I don’t take weight-loss supplements) so I just stick to a daily multi-vitamin. I only want to loose like 2 lbs a week or so, and not much more. So what should I do to start loosing weight again?? I’m stuck… Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok, some things I forgot… I turn 21 this month, and I already eat alot of fresh fruits and vegatables, and alot of chicken ****** because of the low fat and high protein content.
