Exclamation Is my diet ok??

Hello everyone,

My name is Maria and Im new here. Basically I have a question.
Im 20 5"7 and 126lbs. I would love to loose a little bit more weight becuase I want to model. This is what I usually eat:

breakfast:
some grapes
plain yogurt-80 cals
some cottage cheese non fat


Lunch:
1 navel orange
1 medium apple
or
garden salad no dressing

Dinner:
shredded wheat cereal w/ some skim milk and some strawberries
or
quick cooking plain oatmeal with skim milk

Snack:
ff cocoa for 25 cals w/ water

I have been loosing but very slowly on this diet. The only thing is that Im craving pancakes(its my fave) soo bad. I think about food soo much and im scared sometimes that if I eat something more out of my routine that I will gain weight. I know that my metabolism is probbably messed up but this diet works for me and Im scared to change it. My health is not that great. I get blackouts, im tired and sleepy all the time,sometimes Im constipated, I get bloated very easily, my period has stopped for 3yrs now and I feel very depressed sometimes over my eating.
I used to weight 145lbs, then I was dieting and my lowest was 97. I gained and now Im slowly loosing again.
The thing is I want to let myself have my pancakes for dinner sometimes but please tell me that I wont gain!!

all of what you mentioned would be a snack for me..LOLLL seriously thats not much at all no wonder you'r getting blackouts..anyways, you should eat what you feel for and, excersizing would keep your weight under control..and, it will make you very strong Good luck

Re: Is my diet ok??

How much do you want to lose? Did you add up the calories? Your weight seems to be fairly healthy for your height(maybe even a LITTLE low) but I guess that modeling requires you to be thinner. I don't see any essential fats(fish oil, flax, nuts and seeds, oilive oil). Efa's are good for metabolism, and hormone regulation along with many other aspects of one's health. I really don't think that pancakes would ruin your goals especially if you exercise. Although, you are at a lower weight for your height, and I'll bet that trying to lose will be pretty challenging. How long have you been on this diet, and how much did you lose? I guess this will be a temporary diet because as soon as you start to eat normally again, your body is going to say, "ahhhh thank you," and store that fat faster than you think. But modeling requires a strice regimine I'm sure, and I wish you the best of luck.

Maybe you could add some chicken to your garden salad at lunch and make sure you are getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals. You may be low of iron(and others) since you feel like that. Try some dried figs, fruit and raisens maybe? Maybe some lean beef(unless your a veg).
