Pritikin Recipes
Hey All!
So for starters, I am 21 years old, I am 5’6", 170, recently gained about 15lbs. I am a smoker, and I am a female.
I don’t want to be a smoker anymore, but thats a separate issue altogether.
So I am broke and can’t get a gym membership, and all I eat is dollar burgers and frozen pizza’s as I am really broke.
I want to know what I can eat quickly for breakfast that will be good for me and cheap? I don’t care if its the same thing every morning as long as its QUICK. like no cooking involved…. as I don’t cook…
What is a good lunch to take to work every day? once again quick and cheap and healthy.
Snacks? like a 10oclock and 3 oclock snack?
And dinners? I am not a cook, I can do a few things but I just want basic healthy meals I can eat…
Also exercise sched? I have never been an exerciser so any ideas will be really helpful!
My goal is to lose 30 lbs. but I’d be happy with the 15 I recently gained. (I have always been 155 for most of my adult life)
You guys are great!
Thanks,
B

- Eat a good calorie diet. (Google or Bing what your calorie limit is.)
- If you have a bike, ride it.
- If you have some kind of rope, jump with it.
- Do sit-ups or crunches.
- If you have a friend who has a trampoline, ask to borrow it once in a while.
- Eat healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables.
One question: Do you have a job?
Even if it’s working at a fast food restaurant or some place where minimum wage is paid, it’s still giving you some money. Oh and save a few extra dollars every day/week. It could help you in the long run.
Also, do you have access to a tv?
There are fitness channels if you have DirectTv. Even if you don’t have DirectTv, I’m sure cable has something like that on it.
Hope this helps and good luck!
The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc.
first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..
eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is not good .
if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.
go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.
if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.
10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…
btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.
drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well
To lose weight all you need to do is the exercises most of us have done since age five, run. In your case jog. Don’t change your eating habits. I am a track runner and i eat literally whatever i want whenever i want. The key is to have Your metabolism so High that no matter how much food you intake your body will have no choice to burn it because it uses so much energy exercising. I lost 40 lbs in 3 months, and would have lost it fast had i worked harder at it. Just jog in good walking shoes eg: tennis shoes, nike’s etc. in any given direction for fifteen minutes, then (without breaks) jog back. Go as slow as you like, just don’t walk when you get tired. Calculate how long it took and try to get Your time down every time until it’s so low that you have to increase your distance. Do this at least four times a week. In two weeks you will begin to see results and will want to do more. It wouldn’t be easy, but you will love your body more and more as you continue to do it. Good luck and i hope this helps!
