QuestionI am a 24 year old female who has gained at least 10 pounds within a year from lack of exercise (sitting all day in college)and poor eating habits. I work evenings waitressing and eat healthy but cannot lose the weight. I heard that people should eat different foods at different times of the day specific to your body type and routine. I have gained weight mostly in the abdomen, hips and thighs. Any answers for me on when to eat carbs and when to exercise etc.? Thanks.
AnswerLindsay, there are no scientific studies that I know of that show if you eat certain foods, certain times of the day you will lose weight. Where you gain weight has to do with your genetics. To lose weight start walking daily for 30 minutes above what you are already walking in work and school. Lifting weights will stimulate your metabolism and tone those problem areas. If you are eating healthy now, cut out the bread and pasta for a week or two, you should see the pounds drop. Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
