1)Is this a Good Plan?
2)By Febuary, if I keep this up, how much weight will I expect to lose?
3)What does Raw Celery taste like? I never taste raw celery before.
First of all, congrats on knowing you shouldn't starve yourself in order to lose weight. You diet sounds good but I will offer you some suggestions for possible substitutions and rearranging when you eat what:
1) Breakfast: switch the cheerios to a cereal with less sugar and more fibre (e.g., Flax Plus, Bran Flakes, or Fibre 1). You could have a whole cup of skim milk. Switch the banana to strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, or orange. Skip the applesauce.
2) Snack: celery sticks okay. You could also have an apple (not applesauce) or a high fibre bran wafer (The brand name might be "Bowel Buddy" but the high fibre is what you need to stay full).
3) Lunch: Sounds good. Could substitute with low fat Italian. Skip the banana. Are you using mayo with your tuna- could use nonfat yogurt and mustard. You could also add a couple of teaspoons of AllBran Buds to your salad. This adds some needed fibre and it adds an interesting crunch!
4) Snack: Skip the applesauce. Maybe a handful of walnuts or 2 plums.
5) Dinner:I might suggest that you switch your dinner and lunch plan and also change the bread to whole wheat pita. It is best if you have most of your carbs earlier in the day. I would also add another salad or veggie serving with the sandwich.
If need be you could have another snack in the evening such as 2 cups of low fat popcorn or more berries. I suggested skipping the banana and applesause because bananas tend to be a little higher in sugar and can cause fluctuations in your blood sugar and it is better to actually eat the fruit instead of the sauce because you get the fibrous skin and flesh of the fruit which takes your body longer to digest. Eating sauce or drinking juice causes a spike in blood sugar and some of the work of digesting has already been done for your body.
Be sure to drink 2-3 litres of water per day to assist your organs in metabolising and eliminating.
It is healthy to lose 1-2 lbs/week and you may lose a little more at the beginning due to loss of water weight. People who have more to lose may healthily lose more than 1-2 lbs per week. I would try not to focus too much on lbs lost and focus on the fit of your clothes maybe or how much better you feel.
Raw celery isn't bad. If you don't like it- don't force yourself. Find a healthy option you like. You could also try it with some sugarfree peanut butter or a small amount of Hummus. you might want to consider researching on what foods are lower in Glycemic Index which basically means your body doesn't convert them to sugar as fast. These foods are digested slower in your body which leads to feeling fuller longer and keep your blood sugar steady. You never have to be starving- although you may notice that you start to get appropriately hungry every 2-3 hours. Feed it. And your salads and meals can include more veggies than you can eat -2to 3 cups.
Lastly since you are 16 I would recommend that you talk to your parents or your doctor about all this. Eventually you could add a strength training aspect to it as well which can help speed up your metabolism as well. Keep the good head on your shoulders and stick to losing weight the healthy way even if you are tempted to get quicker results another way. That will only set you back and set you up for a lifetime of yo-yoing with your weight.
Good luck
Add more lean protein to your meals and snacks. Have at least one other menu choice for each meal and snack. To keep variety. Also use different veg and fruit each day.
Break exercise up into at least two sessions.
Eat the bloody celery and try some other foods that you haven't ate. How do you know if you like it if you don't try it.
Your plan sounds good, but how long do you realistically think that you'd be able to stick to a plan that only includes healthy foods when you are used to eating otherwise? Ease into it. By that I mean start out by taking a couple weeks or even a month and doing something simple, like replacing one of your meals with a healthy one, and not eating anything after a certain time in the evening. Maybe even cut out all sodas. (These are just some examples.) As the weeks go on you can gradually replace another meal with healthier foods and cut out some of your snacking. (Again, just an example.) Just a suggestion. I have seen many a person, in a period of a few days when they feel they have all the will power in the world and they're just sick of their weight, decide they are just going to start eating healthier altogether. Remember though, will power is fickle. Some days a person has alot of it, and other days they felt like they had little or none at all. The vast majority of them were on their plans for a week or two, before falling back into old habits. By taking time to ease into it, you're more likely to stick with healthy eating in the long run and not burn out on it.
It sounds good. Make sure you do switch it up-alternate chicken, tuna, perch, turkey and lean beef, different kinds of fruit and veggies so that you do not get bored and get all the nutrients you need. It's easier to stay on track when you're not bored.Half a cup of rice is a good substitute for bread, as is 2 oz of pasta (weigh uncooked)
I cannot say how much you'll lose, as it depends on your height, shape, health, etc.
Make sure you talk to a doctor before you start working out, just in case.
I like the taste of raw celery -it's crunchy, and mild. If you do not like it, try carrots or other veggies.
Good luck.
