Want to lose weight before uni so i can look nice.

It's ok to be chubby, and chubby girls are

Don't lose weight, just wear better clothes

But i ate grapes, an di wanted to do dancing..

wrong

ITT terrible advice

Dancing is cardio most of the time. So long as it wasnt too many grapes it should be ok but eating after exercise is much more effective when burning fat.

Can I ask what style of dancing?

Hmm I cannot seem to find it right now.

I read it on the Telegraph online a week or two ago. It said that scientists had discovered that how much you eat isn't the issue, its what you eat.

When I say dancing....
I kinda mean me just jumping around the room to music doing whatever :P

Do you feel out of breath after though?

Give up sugar in your porridge and coffee. Give up fizzy drinks only drink fizzy water if you feel like something fizzy. Give up bread. Exercise more. Take up bollywood dancing or something . Eat more fruit. Good luck

I just jumped and ran around teh living room for 4 minutes- with no stopping. I feel out of breath! lool

Surely that is common sense? The point is that healthy food contains fewer calories in the first place. You'd have a hard time getting obese if all you ate was cucumber, due to the fact that it's over 95% water.
Weight gain IS intrinsically linked the calorie intake, however, due to the fact that calories are simply a measure of energy. If you eat 2000kcals in a day, and you burn only 1500kcals during that day, there is an excess of 500kcals. There are 9kcals in a gram of fat. Hence weight gain.
There has however been some research into the type of food that you eat. Something to do with the body being able to turn excess protein into fat, but not carbohydrate, or possibly the other way around.
Also scientists believe that the body will burn calories from protein BEFORE those from fat, hence why it is usually the fat that is left over.

Apologies a) if this sounds ranty, it isn't meant to, and b) if I have misunderstood/ repeated anything you have already said and/or implied.

Recently a experiment about food and health was completed. It was the largest of its kind in history and recommended that portion size is practically irrelevant. The issue is what you eat, not how much you eat.

For example, you can eat tonnes of healthy food and it won't matter, but if you eat the wrong food, even a small amount will get you.

In short, eat lots of fruit and veg, lean meats, cold pasta, etc and don't calorie count -_-

That aside, exercise is always the most important thing. I personally have taken up doing 30 minutes on a cycle machine whilst watching the Daily Politics I find it best to mix exercise with something else such as watching TV.

Do you have a source for that? Im not saying you are wrong i just want to know its true before i tell other people
