What is the effective way to lose weight? I'm not obese but I want to lose weight. Some of my friends told me not to eat rice,bread and pasta.
Is this right?

everyone is differant, but to lose weight it has to be a lifstyle change as once you go of the diet you can actually put more weight back on eat sesable and exersise. A doctor once told me try to avoid worring about actually how much you weigh and go for apperance. following a low carb diet works you mainly limit the intake of what are known to be BAD carbs things like to much rice,pasta, bread dont forget there are good carbs and you need these when you exersice to help develop mussle i suggest eating a bannana before exersiceing as this gives you energy as well as helps with the fat burning procces. when switching from a poor diet to a more structured one try taking a good multi vitamin just to help kick start everything again. Also try just changing eating habits make sure you eat a good breakfast and switch your main meal to the middle of the day as thats when we require the most energy also try not to eat more than 2-3 hours before bed.

I'm 5'2 in height and 55 kg.

I look fat for my weight but I know this is normal according to BMI but I'm not happy with his weight.

used to avoid sugar n carbs and that was not good as when yr sugar level is low there are side effects so a small percentage of carbs is needed by the body to function normally- >food for thought

Yeah I observe that not eating rice and bread really works!

But sometimes I'd still go back to my past routine and that is to eat carbo.

Avoiding Rice , bread , pasta is a low carb diet, if you avoid carbohydrates and sugar you will see the difference in 2 weeks. You can eat more proteins ....like lean meat, sprouts and pulses. I was on a fruit and veggie diet. I am lighter by 5 kgs in one week…it really works!

There is no "One diet for all"....we all have different body types, metabolisms, activity levels, etc...

Cutting out carbs is one way to reduce your caloric intake (like the atkins diet)....but unless its a permanent change (ie lifestyle change and not just a diet for a certain period), the weight tends to return.

Generally speaking (unless there are medical reasons mostly to do with metabolism), a person's weight is a function of how many calories they itake, and how many they work off (by exercising)....and exercising doesn't JUST mean the gym....

The best Advice I can give you is not to follow a pre printed diet, but go to a nutritionist who can tailor a diet for your specific body type and needs...at least that's what I would do in Canada....I don't even know if there are certified nutritionists in Qatar.

Hope that helps...and whatever you decide, good luck.

Stay safe.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

Hi Buttercuple, do away with fastfood (chips, deep fried chicken) as first they are unhealthy. I don't think there's anything wrong with rice, pasta or bread as long as you eat them in moderation. Tayo kasing mga pinoy, rice in the am, lunch and pm :), pero cguro kapag isang cup lang per serving wala nang second serving ok pa din un. Eating a balanced diet and exercise (aerobic exercise at least 30 mins a day) is the best. If this doesn't work, meron akong produkto which is a slimming program na introduce sayo...just pm me ok.
