Would I lose weight eating a dessert ?

I am starting a diet and I am eating a plate of porrigdge in the morning with water instead of milk and then for lunch I am having rice cakes and an apple then for a snack about 4.00pm I am having a bag of weightwatchers crisps. Then a very small portion of whatever we are having that night. Then a bag of weightwatcher crisps for a snack about 9.00pm. I was wondering if it was ok to have a dessert after dinner like a weightwatcher one but I dont no if I should because I have been looking at many diet plans in mags etc and they never have dessert so I dont no wether to ???

Answer #1

you need to eat more that diet sounds more like starvation to me it lacks basic nutrients and proteins you need to be healthy add more things to it like meat and pastas

Answer #2

you sound like you dont take in enough calories, desserts are high in fat you should probably take in the extra calories from protein or something else healthy

Answer #3

Your diet sounds more like deprivation. So I’d say have the weight watchers desserts. Otherwise you might go off the whole thing as it’s so boring and not tasty. People who can’t have desserts are probably eating a lot more than you.

Answer #4

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn’t gain your weight overnight so don’t expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot)

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

  Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
