Is my diet and exercise plan healthy? 5
I recently lost 22 lbs. by cutting calories and working out. Now that I’ve lost the weight I want to keep it off, but I want to stay healthy and not go overboard. I am 5′ 7” and went from weighing 160 to 138. I was probably consuming around 3,500- 4,000 calories a day and working out for 30 minutes three times a week. I don’t count calories, but I know that I am eating much less than I was. I am careful about how much I fill my plate and don’t go back for seconds. I also cut out evening snacks ( I used to eat a lot of popcorn and ice cream). My guess would be that I’m consuming around 1,500- 1,800 calories a day now. I do aerobic exercises for 30-45 minutes every morning, then 10-15 minutes on my eliptical mid-day, and 10-20 minutes in the evening either on the eliptical or another aerobic exercise (30 minutes if I have a small snack after dinner). I exercise 6 days a week. Am I overdoing it? I feel that I need to consume more calories, at least 2,200, but if I eat more than I am eating now, I put on weight quickly. I also can’t skip a day of exercising or I put on weight quickly. I want to be healthy, but my family is starting to worry about me exercising so much. I’ve always eaten a low-fat diet, and I am trying to watch my sugar intake as well, otherwise, I haven’t changed WHAT I eat hardly at all. I just eat less of it.
I have been trying to lose this weight for 7 years, I don’t lose weight easily. I don’t want it to come back, but I want to be healthy. Is there anything I need to change? Thank you for your input!
