excersize issues

Im 18 im 177lbs  I know how to eat healthy. Iv cut out most carbs and it has been working .. I try to excersize but dont have time for rigorous stuff .. I walk for about 30-45 mins a day planned.

Is there anything I can do to increase my excersize within a busy day?
Thank you in advance

Whole grain breads and pastas are good for you; it's just the ones made with white flour that aren't good for you.

Even if you aren't drinking a lot of juice, it's not good for you like whole fruit is. You don't have to eat a lot of fruit - just one serving/day is good enough.

What do you eat for nuts, seeds and other healthy fats?  

How long have been eating this small amount of food?

What do you mean you have 19 vegetable for tea? You eat 19 different vegetables for tea or 19 pieces of vegetables?

Fruit juice is not the best thing to have - it's mostly empty calories.  You should eat whole fruit, instead because you'll get a lot more vitamins/minerals, plus you get the fiber from the fruit, itself.  When you drink just the juice, you get mostly sugar.  Aside from that, a glass of juice is not enough for breakfast.  You need something with it, even if it's just 1/2 cup of cereal with milk and a slice of whole grain toast or some oatmeal or scrambled eggs.

While the foods you're eating may be healthy, you aren't eating in a healthy manner.  Are you eating any whole grains, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, dairy, etc?  Those are all necessary for a balanced diet. It sounds like your body is starving and your metabolism has slowed down to compensate for the lack of food coming in.

Your largest meal of the day should be breakfast and your smallest meal of the day should be dinner, with healthy snacks between each meal.

1000 calories is not enough.  A grown woman should never eat less than 1200 calories/day.  If you eat too few calories, your metabolism actually slows down because there isn't enough food coming in.

You should be eating lots of veggies and a serving of fruit each day, with plenty of protein.

Not everyone can tolerate an 1800 calorie diet.  If I ate that much every day, I'd gain so much weight it wouldn't be funny, because I'm a small person.

You have to give up junk food, sodas, simple carbs, etc.

For exercise try doing some weight training.  You don't have to carve out big blocks of time.  Just a few minutes here and there is all it takes to do some leg lifts, lunges, etc using your own body weight.  Check out YouTube for some ideas.

Try reducing your calorie intake. I was having the same problem. I reduced my calorie intake to 1800 and I am slowly melting the pounds. Don't give up anything, just count calories.

You have to walk fast enough to get your heart rate up and keep it up for a while... walking slow is not going to help you lose weight.  Have you tried interval training?  That's a few of minutes of walking, alternating with a couple  minutes of running/sprinting.  Either that or 30-45 minutes of a brisk walk, but you have to change up your exercise because if you do the same thing every day, your body comes expect that as simply routine.

the slower you do your excerises & walks the more calories you burn. If you have a Pinterest you can add me erenia316 & I'll send you a 15 min work out guide you can do at home. Swimming is the best way to lose weight & also massages your insides.
