Welcome to the forum.

Here is some information on: Carbs, Protein, Fats, and Fiber

The Human Brain - Carbohydrates

What are Carbohydrates?

What You Need to Know Before You Start a Low Carbohydrate Diet
(and other info)

Carbohydrates
(this one may be a tad over-kill for the average person)

=============================================

Some info on Protein:

John Berardi - Protein Super Feature

Everything you need to know about protein

Protein: Nutrition Source, Harvard School of Public Health

=============================================

Some info on Fats:

What You Need to Know about Fat and Your Family's Diet - Family Articles - Kaboose.com


Fats 101: How to tell Good Fats and Bad Fats


Fats, Fish Oil and Omega-3-Fatty Acids - Cholesterol Information Produced by Doctors For Patients Experiencing High Cholesterol Levels

(and other GOOD info)

Fat

================================================

Some info on Fiber:

Dietary Fiber

Difference between soluable and insoluable Fiber:

The difference is primary that soluable fiber can dissolve (but not entirely) in the bowel (and is the culprit for some people getting the "stinky gas" ) when consumed, while insoluable fiber can absorb a lot of water and isnt broken down as easily.

A couple of links for additional info:

Fiber 101: Soluble Fiber vs Insoluble Fiber

High Fiber Diet

=========================================================

Various EXCELLENT John Berardi Nutrition Articles (a MUST READ):

John Berardi - Nutrition Articles

=========================================================

An Article on Diet and Cheating by John Berardi:

=========================================================

Within the Nutrition 101 thread you will find some valuable information. Or you can use the ready made input web page in the 2nd link.

What you to do is to post your Maintenance Line of calories and list the multiplier you used to configure your approximated Maintenance Line.

Go here and read on some basic and fundamental information:

Go here for some thoughts on the mental side:

Weight Loss Intricate


The ChillOut Log by Chillen
(allot of pages to go through, but there IS good information that may help you if you take the time to seek it)
===================================================

All of the links, plus additional links (Not Listed here) that you may be interested in are in this link below:

http://training.fitness.com/new-memb...nks-18741.html

====================================================

Change your eating habits (below are some suggestion examples)


The 3 Nutrients (Carbs, Good Fats, and Protein) are an essential factor in the diet; however, the Law of Energy Balance within the DIET, is the ultimate KING while the Nutrients can play in some key decisions made within the body.


○ Try eating 5 to 6 smaller meals during the day (if you cannot, do NOT sweat it)

○ Balance your meals out during the day so in one day you have a mix of Protein, Carbohydrate and good Fats

○ Drink lots of water during the day and before, during and after exercise

Simple Carb Examples: (Various fruit) Grapefruit, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Strawberries, Oranges, Apples, Pineapple, etc

Complex Carb Examples: Whole Wheat Pita Bread, Oatmeal, Long Grain Brown Rice, Brown Pasta, Malto-Meal (Plain, whole wheat),etc

Good Protein Examples: White or Dark Tuna, Chicken Breast, Lean Turkey, Lean Ham, Very lean Beef, Quality Whey Protein Powder, etc

Good Fats Examples: Natural Peanut Butter, Various Nuts, Flax Seed, Fish Oils.

Dietary Fiber: Whole Grains (Bran), Some fruits (like Apples), and vegetables, nuts and seeds

Dietary Fiber

ROOT VEGETABLES: beets, sweat potatoes, yams

GREEN VEGETABLES: asparagus, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cucumber, field greens, mixed salad greens, green beans, romaine lettuce, snap peas, and spinach

OTHER VEGETABLES: bell peppers, carrots, celery, eggplant, mushrooms, soybeans, squash, tomatoes, organic (low sodium) vegetable soup (be careful in the selection).


=========================================================

Suggestions on various cereals:


1. Steel Cut Oats, Old Fashioned Cut Oats, and Regular Cut Oats (quick cook type), in large containers.

2. Various types of Go Lean Kashi cereals. (Some dont like them, but I dont share this opinion). Not all of them are good, read the label.

3. Fiber-One. (60 calories per 1/2 Cup, and source of fiber)

4. Grape Nuts

GRAPE-NUTS:

Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT FLOUR, WHEAT FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR, SALT, DRIED YEAST, SOY LECITHIN. VITAMINS AND MINERALS: REDUCED IRON, NIACINAMIDE, ZINC OXIDE (SOURCE OF ZINC), VITAMIN B6, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN MONONITRATE (VITAMIN B1), FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B12, VITAMIN D.

Its devoid of any "added in" sugars, and from what I have read on Lecithin, this is used in many bread products for various reasons, and isnt a bad ingredient.

5. Shredded Wheat and Shredded Wheat and Bran: (NOT SUGAR TOPPED)

POST SHREDDED WHEAT ORIGINAL SPOON SIZE

Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT

TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL WHEAT FLAVOR, BHT IS ADDED TO THE PACKAGING MATERIAL--If you dont like perservatives, dont select this one
=========================================================

Post Shredded Wheat and Bran

Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT AND WHEAT BRAN.

TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL WHEAT FLAVOR, BHT IS ADDED TO THE PACKAGING MATERIAL. If you dont like perservatives, dont select this one

Both are devoid of any "added in" sugars.

Within my first post, is a link on how to approximate your calories.

How much do you want to lose? What do you have to train with? Access to a gym?

Do not be alarmed. Most of us who started fresh and new, didn't know anything about diet and fitness either. We will help you all we can.

After reading through the material, if you have any questions post them.


Best wishes for your continued success,

Chillen

Sorry i missed thiss or i would have responded earlier.

Welcome to the forum.

Chillen pretty much took care of diet, so if you give some info on what equipment you have available and how much time per week you're willing to devote to training we can get you set up on a program to start with.

Thanks everyone. I am looking to lose about 100lb. I do have a fitness center at my apartment complex. So if you can help me out with a work out that would be great and also on how to count calorie.

Thanks Cryssie

Hey! Cryssie! Its all you sista! You can definitely do this! YEA! You can!

In the link below, you add in your personal particulars, and activity level, and it will approximate your calories for you. After you do this, we can work with (or at least) talk about setting calorie deficits, and whatnot.

Here is the link:

Calorie Approximator using the Benedict Formula

I wish you the absolute best in your weight loss quest.

I did some major workout this weekend my whole body aches in a good way. I guess I just have to keep up with it. And hopefully it won't be sore anymore.

Hello everyone. How is everyone doing today? I hope everyone had a great weekend. So far so good. I am still staying on track as far as the weight loss. Still sore but not at bad as when I first started.

I find it a little easier to exercise now than when I started. Hope everyone have a great day.
