Decided to jog every morning for 30 days straight, currently at 3/30. I have also started to eat less than what I used to, e.g., I now eat one cup of rice instead of two, and I also eat vegetables only (Carrots, tomatoes etc) for one meal a day.

Will this work?

it will, but once you stop jogging and dieting you may end up rebounding.

oh and add two cans of pineapple juice a day. unsweetened. one with breakfast, another with lunch. and a banana with each meal.

no food after 6pm or whatever is the equivalent for your body clock. make sure your "dinner" is your lightest meal. finally, you should have at least an hour between your last meal and going to bed. if you feel hungry before sleeping, drink milk and eat a banana or something equally light.

do not eat/avoid the ff:
potato chips and similar stuff
softdrinks
mayonnaise
chicken/pork skin
FRENCH FRIES <- seriously, dont eat this if you want to slim down
hamburgers
fried foods <- hardest to avoid so just moderate your intake. steam/grill if possible. like with hotdogs, just boil em in water.

for meat its better to go with chicken and fish.
for bread, go for whole wheat if possible

not sure if this is applicable to jogging, but my coworker/trainer told me to avoid eating before and after a work out. two hours before, and 45 minutes after. this is to make sure the body burns fats instead of the food in your stomach. if you're really hungry, eat only crackers or a banana with water. immediately after the workout drink SOY milk or plain milk since whey is expensive. alternatively you can eat a banana.

anyway, thats all i can remember at the moment. i hope this helps ^^


p.s. match your expectations with the intensity of your program. dont expect to see massive changes in a month or two. healthy and safe weight loss takes time (like half a year or something). even mr. awesome up there took nine months considering how punishing his routine was.
