My weight gain started around the age of 12, when my parents separated and my mom won me over with food. Everyday, or every other day, she'd buy me a large Little Caesar's pizza just for me. I'd eat it all, of course. In one sitting! I know that isn't healthy now, but food is like my drug. I upgraded from cutting to binging. I want to change my ways, I honestly do, but it's hard.
Before anyone tells me, "oh you just need to get off the couch," I already have. I've tried cutting my food intake in half everyday. I've tried counting my caloric intake. I've tried playing sports everyday+cutting food intake+drinking a lot of water. I've tried bulimia, starvation, laxative overdose. None of it works. I'm hoping for an expert on this. Please. I want to rock a bikini at least ince in my life.
I weigh 170 lbs. and I'm 5'4". My waist and hip measurements are 33 and 42. I think. My BMR is around 1,600 and my average exercise burns around 300-400 calories a day.Any suggestions on how I could lose weight?
Sometimes when you become particularly overweight, you develop insulin resistance (which can be mild, but still affect weight loss). When you have insulin resistance, sugars (and therefore, carbohydrates, as they are treated alike by the body) are very hard to handle. Insulin resistance can make it so that to lose weight, one must restrict carbohydrate intake. You can get tested for insulin resistance by a doctor, but the easiest way to know if it's a good option for you is to try it and see what happens. This is a common condition which isn't addressed nearly enough. It is also frequently brought on by poor diets in childhood.
With low-carb diets, they begin as strict, but over time, you can consume more carbs. They can also help to correct insulin problems, and insulin resistance which goes untreated leads to diabetes, usually. Also, if this is your problem, you'll find that losing weight any other way is basically impossible. Those with insulin resistance can basically starve themselves without losing weight, so long as the ratio of carbs to protein and fats is still too high.
Thin people are rarely insulin-resistant, so carbs do not affect them the same way. This is why many people do not understand the benefits of low-carb dieting. Again, all you need to do is give it a shot and see if it's for you (and it likely is).
I should add that you may want to try a low-glycemic index diet first, if you haven't already. It is less drastic than low-carb dieting and it may work for you. It's also good for your endocrine system (which everyone should care about, insulin resistant or not). But, if that doesn't help, then... Yeah. LC is next.Any suggestions on how I could lose weight?
dont cut the foods.Eat clean calories like an apple maybe it has sugar but it has clean calories.And you gotta try but dont give up.For me personally the trick its running in empty stomachk that means running should be the first thing u need to do when u wake up.I guarantee ull see the result for like 1,2 months (: Good luckAny suggestions on how I could lose weight?

Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.
There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there's also the Jojo-effect.
The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.
Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That's an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn't that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?
- Healthy life every day!
Take care,
:-)
