okay so right now i'm 16 years old, about 5'2'' (done growing, haven't grown since about 7th grade) and 145 pounds. my bmi is 26.5, which is considered overweight. i'd like to get down to around 115-120 pounds, so my bmi would be in the healthy range. i was just wondering if this diet would be healthy...it all fits into the South Beach Diet Phase 1, but i'm a vegan, so i didnt know if it would still be healthy...
breakfast: smoothie made of: 1/5 container silken tofu, 1 Cup unsweetened soymilk, 2 Tbsp hershey's unsweetened coco powder, 3 Tbsp flax seeds, vanilla extract and Splenda to taste
snack: 15 almonds
lunch: salad made of: spinach, romaine, cucumber, red bell pepper, 1/2 Cup chick peas, 1 tsp olive oil and red wine vinegar. and soup made of: 1 Cup vegetable broth, 1/4 Cup textured vegetable protein, and 1 stalk celery
snack: 1/2 Cup broccoli, 1/4 Cup red bell pepper, 1 stalk celery with 2 Tbsp classic hummus. and 1 1/2 Tbsp (1/2 serving) soy protein mixed in 8 oz water
dinner: 1/2 Cup Boca meatless "ground beef", 1/2 Cup black beans, 1/4 Cup diced tomatoes and chiles, 1 1/2 Cups spinach
dessert: 1 sugar-free popsicle
so that all adds up to:
*around 1200 calories
*44g fat
*16g sugar
*64g fiber
*90g protein
and i'll be taking a multivitamin and b12 supplement each morning. and drinking at least 64 oz ice water every day.
i'll also be working out every day, doing about 45 minutes of intense cardio and taking a 2-3 mile walk at a normal pace. i'll also add in some weight training with a bowflex and free weights.
so is that a healthy diet plan? will i still lose 14 pounds in 2 weeks like the South Beach Diet book says? oh, and if anyone has some good toning exercises for abs/butt/thighs...that would be appreciated!!
thanks in advance.|||I think you'll starve if you eat only that. Don't be afraid to eat more, it is the quality of what you eat not the calories or the quantity that counts. 100 calories from a tomato and 100 calories from a hamburger are very different type of calories for example. 100 calories from a tomato cannot make you fat, but a hamburger will. Don't rely on the calorie number, it does not represent things accurately.
"breakfast: smoothie made of: 1/5 container silken tofu, 1 Cup unsweetened soymilk, 2 Tbsp hershey's unsweetened coco powder, 3 Tbsp flax seeds, vanilla extract and Splenda to taste"
This is all good except the splenda. Never use splenda to sweeten, it's bad for health. The body cannot digest sucralose because it's 100% chemical and man-made, the body transforms into fat everything it cannot digest. Sucalose has also been known to attack the brain. Use natural honey, natural maple syrup or stevia. They all taste sugary but are not harmful to health and don't cause weight gain.
"snack: 15 almonds"
This is good, but I suggest eating 30 of them.
"lunch: salad made of: spinach, romaine, cucumber, red bell pepper, 1/2 Cup chick peas, 1 tsp olive oil and red wine vinegar. and soup made of: 1 Cup vegetable broth, 1/4 Cup textured vegetable protein, and 1 stalk celery"
Make the 1/2 cup chick peas into 1 cup, and add some quinoa.
"snack: 1/2 Cup broccoli, 1/4 Cup red bell pepper, 1 stalk celery with 2 Tbsp classic hummus. and 1 1/2 Tbsp (1/2 serving) soy protein mixed in 8 oz water"
Good
"dinner: 1/2 Cup Boca meatless "ground beef", 1/2 Cup black beans, 1/4 Cup diced tomatoes and chiles, 1 1/2 Cups spinach"
Make 2/3 and 2/3 cups (boca, black beans), add much more vegetables.
"dessert: 1 sugar-free popsicle "
Sugar-free means it either has aspartame, which is dangerous, or sucralose which is not good. You should try making your own popsicles using what I said earlier, honey, etc.
It would also be a good idea to drink your water with organic tea or herbal tea. It's a good way to get additional nutrition for little effort.|||sounds good to me|||You must have correct information if you want to lose weight.
