What foods should an obese person trying to lose weight avoid?

asked:


My mom is not just overweight. She’s considered obese, and I think before she exercises or anything, she needs to eat less, and eat the right stuff. I heard before that they should avoid bread or something like that?

I obviously knwo sweets are bad, but I’m talking about food that isn’t bad for most people.

    fatty, salty and sweet food.
    No carbonated drink, instead try lime/lemon with warm water to detox every morning.

    Anything that is not natural, like prepackaged foods. Skip cheese, and anything fried. Keep a lot of fruits and veggies in the house. Eat more poultry-like chicken breast. Stick to whole grain foods. Don’t eat out much. The biggest factor that will help your mom get to a healthy weight will be support from you. Help her stick to her diet by encourage good eating and exercise. Also maybe go with her on walks so it will be easier for her.

    Losing weight without starving yourself

    obese people need to avoid packaged foods.. if you make things fresh you know what is in it. alot of packaged foods have added perservatives, salt, sugars, fats, etc..

    make fresh, unprocessed, and preferrably organic foods..
    avoid the obvious.. (salt, sugar, grease)..(virgin olive oil is still okay tho.)

    60 Page FREE Dieting Book

    My colleague lost a lot of weight sticking to a general rule – if you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is – don’t eat it. Here are a few things- 1. try to avoid anything that has modified or even partially modified ingridients, the same goes to hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, and high fructose syrop. These ingridients are BAD, all together they screw up your system and metabolism – and that’s why people get obese. The same goes to all the chemical unnatural ingridients – simply put – they do not belong in your body. Most of them were maid to make food processing cheaper and shelf life longer – it’s about producers revenues, not our bodies! It takes awhile to wash these all from your body if you’ve been eating like this most of your life, but it works.
    2. Try to avoid fast food all together. Buy a steamer.
    3. She can also try do more research on how carbs/proteins should be eaten. There is a whole science behind it but simply but -because of how we digest proteins and carbs – you should mix them wisely. In a nutshell – you can eat meat and veggies, or veggies and carbs – such as pastas, rice etc. Meat and carbs – not a good combination, you stomach can’t digest it right, and that how you gain weight fast. This takes care of burritoes, pizzas, sandwiches etc.
    Those are very simply put basics, if it makes sense to you – I suggest you Google more info on each subject and see what sounds right to you. Good luck!!

    Exercise and Weight Loss

    try not to eat to much bread, pasta, etc. chicken (skin less) is better to eat instead of beef and pork. even though fruits are good for you if you eat TOO much of it, it also turns into fat because of all the sugar that the fruit has. packaged food aren’t that good of an idea to eat a lot either. vegetables are always good but if you put a dressing that has a lot of fat in it then that’s will not be helping so stick with a light dressing. sleeping right after eating isn’t a good idea because the food eaten that turns into fat will be stored in the body since the body is not moving and the body isn’t using energy when you are sleeping. so eating a early dinner is better. (I eat at 6:00)
