Nutrition & Dieting - weight loss


Expert: Linda Yo - 5/20/2008

Question
Hello there. I am really desperate right now. I have been trying to lose weight since last year and I've been eating 700 calories each day and exercising , about 20 minutes of jump rope a day. I am aware that 700 is not enough and will cause my metabolic rate to drop, but if i eat more than that, I will really put on weight. That is my greatest fear. How can I lose more weight by putting on weight? I hate the way I live now, I am eating the healthiest food I can for every meal but it's not paying off. I am almost reaching my goal weight and but I stopped losing weight. What should I do? Eating more than 700 calories will make me put on weight. How do I lose more?
Thank you so much, I really need help.

Answer
Dear Jolin,
These are my suggestions:
1. Do strength training to increase your muscle mass. Muscle tissue consumes a lot of calories, about 50 calories/pound than fat tissue, thus if you increase your muscle mass, you will have higher metabolism. I recommend Jorge Cruise's book, 7 Minutes in the morning for simple & quick exercises.
2. Consume foods that are high in fiber & resistant starch content such as brown rice & vegetable stir fry.

Best wishes,
Linda Yo
