Whenever I diet I seem to get terrible headaches, it is very annoying and I would like to stop it, any time I cut down my intake I get a terrible headache and am forced to take a nap after school
. today I ate this...
Headaches can be caused from a "variety" of reasons, and not just adjoined to one's diet. However, I absolutely agree that diet can be a "cause" of headaches.
And, when I say diet, I am including the amount of water you are consuming AND whether you are refraining from liquids you had normally consumed but stopped drinking when you had entered your new diet trend.
For example, if you consumed a large amount of "caffiene" and then suddenly stop, you can get headaches and confuse this with the contents of the diet, when it can be the lack of caffiene in the body and/or "possibly" the diet as well. Lack of caffiene other than what the body has been "used to" can also cause fatigue as the body goes threw its minor withdrawal symptoms.
Prior to your change in diet what types of liquids do you drink MOST OFTEN, and what has stopped when you switched to the new diet trend?
2 Waffles and Syrup & 8 oz water: 6 am
Turkey,swiss, and lettuce on a round roll with Lemon Snapple: 10:30 am
Cup of strawberries: 2:30 pm
3 tacos ( cheese, chicken, lettuce, salsa) 8 oz of Fruit punch juicy juice: 6 pm
What types of waffles are these? And, what kind of syrup?
Is this turkey deli style or fresh variety? Is the roll white or whole wheat?
Stawberries are fine, low GI, and Low calorie.
Tacos from "where"?
On the outside looking in at your diet you listed, you have some refine white sugar in your diet (Punch, syrup, and possibly the roll) which is quickly absorbed by the body and can raise blood sugar levels fairly quickly----and then it will drop---fairly quickly, leaving your blood sugar levels unstable.
Its hard to tell how many calories are in these food you ate. Do you have a general idea how many calories these are? Dependent on the type of tacos, these can be fairly high in the calorie department even the ones you listed.
You are definately not drinking enough water, if what you listed is in fact true.
Your diet definately needs to be redesigned to include a more balanced approach to the almighty macro-nutirents: Protein, good fats, and carbs.
I would also suggest a multi-vitiman if you do not have any medical complications that would prevent this. (for example, my wife cannot take vitimans, because of her Factor 5).
1. What are your personal goals?
2. Have you determined your calorie needs?
Once you determine your calorie needs come back here and post it. You just may find that you will be able to eat more and still be on track with your personal goal plans.
I want you to list your base calorie needs. Then I want you to list your Calorie Maintenance Line and specifiy which mulitplier you used to calculate it. I know you listed the approximation (below), but I want you to do this AGAIN. Additionally, I want you to list your age, sex, hgt, and wgt.

Some ideas on good cereals:
1. Steel Cut
Oats, Old Fashioned Cut Oats, and Regular Cut Oats (quick cook type), in large containers.
2. Various types of
Go Lean Kashi cereals.
3.
Fiber-One. (60 calories per 1/2 Cup, and source of fiber)
4.
Grape Nuts
GRAPE-NUTS:
Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT FLOUR, WHEAT FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR, SALT, DRIED YEAST, SOY LECITHIN. VITAMINS AND MINERALS: REDUCED IRON, NIACINAMIDE, ZINC OXIDE (SOURCE OF ZINC), VITAMIN B6, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN MONONITRATE (VITAMIN B1), FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B12, VITAMIN D.
Its devoid of any "added in" sugars, and from what I have read on Lecithin, this is used in many bread products for various reasons, and isnt a bad ingredient.

Additonal thoughts:
You appropriately handle "choice" within your life (when concerning diet and fitness), and you will become nearly unstoppable as you work down your goal path.
When you open up perception with things you read, learn about the biological and psychological feed back one obtains when dieting and fitness training, and separate the brain from the body--as the empowering tower, and learn how to "properly" master your "unique" self, the odds of the fire within your spirit burning out goes down tremendously.
1. A diet vs. fitness plan optimized for tissue loss.
A. Determine your MT Line.
B. Create a small deficit
C. Create calorie TARGETS each day
D. Track your calorie intake each day
E. Learn how to manipulate the calorie versus fitness activities.
F. Create an exercise program that is a FBW or an upper/lower split (when work and other life issues require such a split). Or flat develop "something" within the confines of what you have available to use (even marginally less equipment can get the job completed)
G. Create Diet and Fitness Training journals
Some say dont track calories, some say do. Some that dont track calories are in the position of knowledge that they dont have to. Some are in the same position of knowledge want to eliminate the element of memory failure and track calories.
What ever you decide to do there is NO DOUBT what this information can do for you when its on paper--precisely--what you had been taking in calorie wise. It is a foundation base that CAN prevent heartache and weight loss plateaus......its underestimated IMO, because alot do not USE IT to their personal GOAL ADVANTAGE--properly, and this is TOO BAD.
I still track and count my calories to this very day.
Within this journal you would have information without a price tag. IMO.
I am going to assume you don’t have a diet journal.
Additionally, I am going to assume you don’t have a weight training journal. If you have one but not the other, shame on you. If you don’t have either, shame on you again.
When problem surface you can physical material to use to solve problems:
1. Continued education and appropriate application of this knowledge
2. Data from: The Diet journal (and inputting goal progress per week, in fat loss)
3. Data from: The Fitness training journal
4. Periodic reviews and adjustments.
Watch, look, and listen, to your body:
Use the data from the diet and fitness journals along with appropriate application of knowledge learned to have the tools available to "work with" to allow you to have a foundation to "work from" to make improvements, "when" complications come up during diet and fitness training.
If one is keeping a training journal, this essential journal can tell you many things: Your progress from one work out to the next (on individual exercises), and whether your progress is occurring good, or slowing down.
In addition, if one is keeping a diet journal per day along with the training journal, one can look in the diet journal per day and compare results in the training journal and in effect determine if its something in the diet or training and/or both is slowing progress.
========================================================
I excercised yesterday I cannot do cardio yet because my ankle is sprain so I am trying to heal it, can you please crituqe my diet I would like to break my diet up a bit more and my BMR is 2355 or so, so helping getting under 20% of it would be great to loose weight. thank you
Also my blood pressure is high and need to get it down its like 150-160/80
1. What type of equipment do you have available to use to train with? Equipment at home, school, or outside gym?
2. How bad is your ankle? Have you seen a Doctor? If you have what has he/she said?
3. You dont have to do cardio to lose fat tissue, so this isnt the problem. Getting your DIET in order is the first issue of importance--at the moment.
ROCK ON!
Best wishes in all that you do in life and within fitness,
Chillen
