Dieting!!

Ok, i know i haven't done a post in sooo long but i am going to try to do a weekly blog starting today.
So i want to talk about dieting as i have started this new diet today called the 5:2 diet. This is where i can eat normal for 5 days a week and for the other 2 days i will be fasting so i can only have 500 calories for the whole day. It seems to have worked for alot of other people so i thought i could give it a shot. So far, so good. I've started out with a cup of coffee and 1 nutri-grain biscuit for breakfast and 2 hard boiled eggs for lunch, for dinner i think I'll have a piece of chicken with some veg. The thing i like about this diet is you can eat what ever you want, even on your fast days, it's just about moderating what you have, i mean if you fancy a treat like chocolate go have it but don't have a huge bar or eat it every day, use it as a TREAT. The problem with some diets is they take away the things your body needs ie carbohydrates (carbs). I have a friend that has cut carbs out of their diet completely and they live on meat, salad, some fruit and veg and nuts. To me that's ridiculous, even though she has lost a ton of weight it's a little extreme in my books. Your body needs protein, carbs, fat, sugar etc, the secret is to include everything in your diet but have small portions.
On my non-fasting days, i will have cereal for breakfast, for lunch i won't have much carbs so i'll eat soup or chicken with rice, then dinner will be meat, veg and some potatoes, snacks are fruit and yoghurt. It's healthy and includes everything my body needs. I also try to do some yoga and zumba but find it hard to keep up a
routine as my shifts change in work.
 
My point is a diet shouldn't be something to dread it's all about moderating your eating habits, exercising regularly and treating yourself a few times a week. Also a diet isn't always for losing weight, some people need it to put on weight. For example my partner has a fast metabolism so he needs to eat more regularly, do weight lifting to gain muscle and just include some extra protein in his diet. So unfortunately we are complete opposites, i put on weight looking at a cake and he could eat 24/7 and not put anything on, maybe there's something that could help us switch? Haha! No, didn't think so. But seriously everyone needs to stop taking weight loss so seriously, you don't need to starve yourselves, i've been there, done that when i was 14 and it isn't good. Just be happy and healthy, and if your comfortable with your body don't change it for no one.
I would love to hear your opinions on dieting, so feel free to drop me a comment!
