I need to lose weight and I’m a 15 yr/o vegetarian?
I go to the gym 3 times a week and walk as much as I can.
The problem is, I skip lunch just because if I can avoid eating, then I will.
Then in the evening I end up snacking before and after dinner.
Dinner tends to be carbohydrate based, like pasta, rice, or lasagna.
I know all about how skipping meals can slow down metabolism/lead to binging and starvation mode, so I need to get out of the habits I’ve got myself into.
My mum doesn’t let me cook for myself, so what can I ask her to make in the evenings that is carbohydrate free?
Also, what should I have for lunch? I know I have disordered eating, and the idea of eating a full lunch in front of people is too much, what can I have that doesn’t make me look like a fat pig and is reasonably low in calories?
Also, any general dieting tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks =)
If you snack constantly throughout the day, then you won’t be eating a large portion in one sitting. So if eating a lot of food in front of people during lunch makes you uncomfortable, then have a snack in between classes. Or take your lunch and eat some of it before, during, and after lunch. I usually have breakfast, usually cereal or eggs, then I go to work, eat some fruit around 10, eat a sandwich or some leftovers from last night at 12, then some veggies or crackers around 3. My dinner is usually normal sized, but it’s at 5 or 6. I usually go to bed around 11 and stop eating around 8.
Maybe eating constantly throughout the day will help keep your metabolism constant while allowing yourself to get all the nutrients you need.
