Ok, so i'm currently on a diet. And the diet is,

I drink 1 and a half cup of "GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™ - Vanilla"
in the morning.


Here's the supplement facts:

Then for lunch, i'd have 2 boiled eggs. Which contain 1 carb each, and 6 protein.

And then for dinner, i'd have a chicken leg, and salad.

I then would have a pill of fish oil.


And then i'd have a pill that contains all the vitamins i need, since i'm on this diet.

Also i do 100 sit ups every night before i shower.
Oh, and i drink around 4 cups of water per day. Sometimes tea(Hot tea, with no sugar).
I realized since im on this diet, my water level might decrease. So i've been drinking more water lately.

I've been doing this for 3 days now

I'm currently 16 years old, i weigh 157 pounds.My body fat % is 25 atm. Here's what my body looks like.


So for my body to loose weight, i need to eat less then 2,000 pounds per day. Pretty sure i'm doing that.

Also, is what i'm doing dangerous.



I'm also wondering if this will stick. As in, will i just gain all my weight back when i start eating normally(still less then 2,000 colories per day) or will my body stay the way it is at my ending results.

Because, i heard with many diets, you'd go on it, loose weight, then gain all your fat back when you begin to eat normally. Will that happen to me?

Thanks!
 
First off, yes, completely reverting to your old eating and activity habits will result in your body to eventually revert to it's original state. There's no avoiding that. If you want to see long term results, you need to make changes that you're going to be able to permanently keep up.

The protein drink for breakfast isn't a bad idea. Personally, I prefer to eat whole foods or, if I'm in a rush and need to just make a protein shake, I use plain whey and blend it with fruit. But that's just me.

You should have some carbs with dinner. Don't overdo it, but you do want a bit of everything in every meal you eat.

You should find some other form of exercise to do. First off, sit ups do very little to burn belly fat. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as spot reduction when it comes to fat loss. Either you lose it all over your body at once or not at all. That being said, you should be doing something that expends a lot of energy, such as jogging/power walking or weight lifting.

What you're doing seems safe, but I'm wondering where you're getting your measurements from. There's much more than 1g of carbodyhydrates and 6g of protein in eggs. Also, to lose 1lb, you need to create an eventual deficit 3500 calories. That means that, over time, you need to be expending more energy than you're eating. (For example, if you have a caloric deficit of 500 calories per day, you'll lose 1lb per week.)

Overall, be patient. You won't see drastic changes overnight. Taking it slowly will be more easy on your body and make it easier to maintain anyway.
 
Stop thinking about dieting as a "thing" you do. Actually, stop thinking about dieting period.

That's probably the biggest obstacle to eating right. Take one thing a week and replace it with something else, and keep on replacing it.
 
I would definitely work on increasing your metabolism rather than cutting back drastically on your calories. The best way to increase your metabolism is:
1. Eat little and often - 5-6 small meals a day
2. Eat protein with every meal, but make sure you are also eating enough complex carbohydrates & good fats so ur body can function at its optimal level.
3. Lift weights. The more muscle you have the more calories your body will burn even at rest
4. Do high intensity cardio exercises such as HIIT (high intensity interval trainig - Google it). The great thing about high intensity cardio is that not only do you burn a lot of calories while you are doing it, but some studies have shown the after burn effect can increase your bodies metabolism by up to 39% - which is huge for weight loss.

The protein shake is fine if you are drinking it post workout. Especially after you do weight training.
In terms of weights, don't get scared about bulking up. If you get the right program you will lose fat pretty much at the same rate as building muscle. Muscle takes up a lot less space than fat, so you will drop in inches and look leaner and smaller.

The calorie counting thing is good to keep track of, but not to obsess over. If you are creating a calorie deficit through exercise you will lose weight without feeling deprived. Good nutrition is key to changing your body into a fat burning machine. You might want to go online to a bodybuilding website and find a calculator that will help you work out the exact macro-nutrient breakdown you require to lose fat and build muscle.
