Is my diet totally wrong for me?
-
Hey, i am an active 17 year old female, currently studying. Recently, i followed a diet which requires me to eat a fruit in the morning, a proper meal for lunch (but normally i will eat yong tao fu without any noodles or rice. And yes, lots of veg with soup cause i don't really like meat.) For dinner, i had 500ml of soya milk or 200ml of HL milk along with a fruit. In between if i feel like muching anything, i will grab a fruit or the wang zai xiao man tou. (i love it!)
I have been following this diet for about 2 weeks before finding myself getting more tired than usual as i am actively involved in my sport (train 5 days a week). But one good thing about this diet is that it solved my constipation problems. Usual i went to the toilet perhaps twice a week. But now it's every 2 days.
Is my tiredness due to my lack of food? But i hardly feel hungry. oh ya, i've been eating lot of beans too. (soya bean, beancurd) i heard that eating too much beans will affect your limps. Is it true? =( Anyone with the knowledge please help!
Another thing is, as my carbo intake was very low, will it affect my muscle growth? I don't wanna be big but i wanna be strong..any advice?
thanks in advance. -
i think it's better u seek professional advice from a nutritionist

fad diets and diets which require you to eat selected foods are usually dangerous and dumb...
eat a large variety of things, and exercise!
that's the only way to keep healthy... and the large variety will consist of everything, including some fat... cutting things out is a dangerous...
oh.. and if you wanna lose weight, just eat about 80% of what you usually eat.. and keep exercising.. do the math.. output more than intake = weight loss... -
when u train 5 days a week....please eat normally and never diet....
and please...dun skip ure veggies....
sooner or later...ure body will eat the muscles just becos u dont eat properly... -
and i heard also...if ya dont eat meat u get like beri-beri or such dieases cause by lack of meat...

Bear.. our great OLD wiseman sgf..
Anyway.. ur diet is seriously deficient in all departments of nutirents n minerals.. U r really eating too little.. plus u r exerting urself so often.. tt is (not can be) detrimental to ur health..
THis esp so since u r 17 n still growing.. ur body needs alot of nutrients to synthesize, grow n repair.. u wouldnt want to suffer from health problems in future or possibly affecting ur look n function as a female..
Ur choice of food is healthy i muz say.. comparing to the junk i eat..
However.. it's clearly tt the quantity is lacking.. n there's nothing wrong with eating rice or noodles.. u need them as fuel for ur training.. If u r dieting.. u could eat less but not none at all..
N one more thing.. n the most impt of all.. make sure ur mindset is clear.. if u r already slim.. dun insist tt u should diet somemore.. it's not at all a pleasant to see matchstick girls at all..
Do seriously n urgently alter ur makan lifestyle.. -

crap -
wow.
oh ya, i do eat carbo, occasionally though. bread, bao and sometimes beehoon. But i know that vegs have starch too rite? and milk that i'm drinking. So i thought my carbo intake should be okie? I make sure i have 1200 calories per day, cause i know that's the minimal requirement. I eat fruits for my vitamins, milk for calcium and protein and some minerals... so it shouldn't be a problem? -
Relax.. getting pissed n bursting ur arteries isnt good for health too..Originally posted by the Bear:damn.. can you, for once, be fricken responsible???

wat kind?Originally posted by bedroom:yup. 5 times every week -
if u exercise 5 times a week, just eat whatever you want
that's what i did last time.
most importantly have your intake of water. -
hmm..at least 2 days a week of running. (about 2.4k - 3k) 3 days of canoeing..

girl, you DO NOT need to go on a diet!!
what you need to do is to eat a balanced diet.. which is bits of everything to vary the nutrition and get all the nutrients necessary for health..
and like kopi says, drink lots of plain water...
the one thing you can cut out of your daily diet is sodas...
be healthy
don't blindly follow fad diets which will ruin your health.. and most of all eat regularly so you don't get gastric poroblems which plague most of the female population coz they are seduced by the empty promises of fad diets...
and again, be well -
excerise 5 per week ?
then eat more ..
drink alot of water .. -
OMG.. a canoe-ist.. u dun have to diet.. haiyo..
