Any good and healthy weight loss suggestions/diets? -

any recs for good web sites. I used to use friends of Anna but it is off line? I am not A/B but I sometimes get good ideas from those sites.

Take bee pollen it has an appetite suppressant called phenylalanine. It is also a complete food with plant proteins, vitamins and minerals. It also has beneficial bacteria to aid in digestion. You can find it at beeroyalproducts.com. Oh it is also very low in calories.

about five months ago i weighed 270lb now I m 5 11 @ 185 lb. i came up with a diet and devoted myself to it..all i did was stay away from ***any fried foods***(french fries, breaded stuff), no white bread, no sugar drinks(cool aid, lemonade, sweat tea).I would eat about six times a day(not bad for a diet right). I LL eat 3 main meals through out the day and between meals i would eat a large fruit(apple, banana, yogurt, etc.)*EAT: oat meal, cereal, baked foods, pot roast, grilled chicken, bar-b-q, stakes, baked or mash poatato,tuna, salads, egg whites, anything you can make in the formen grill is good (any food with NO OIL) (BREAD if needed: only 1-WHEAT bread per day)*DRINK: water, grean tea, crystal light, low fat milk, protein shake. *(use splenda in replace of suger)**HUNGRY @ NIGHT: eat oat meal, eat ceral(low fat milk), eat boiled eggs(take the yellow out) not to much, just to lose the hunger at night.*HOW TO EAT YOUR MEALS: in the morning and through out the DAY eat your heavy meals (stakes, grilled chicken, b-b-q, etc.) Towards the end of NIGHT eat your light meals (salads, cereal, egg whites, tuna etc.) Between meals (2-3 hours after your main meal) eat your large fruit or drink a protein shack.*WORK OUT: just CARDIO, all i did was.. walk, jog, run.. about 2-4 times a week (cardio). I did some liffting weights (lots of reps with LIGHT weights=cardio)*stick to this delicious diet and some workout. I garantee you ll lose some pounds within your first week.

I would recommend ediets.com They are relatively cheap and have about 8 different diets to choose from to match your lifestyle. Also thebiggestloserclub.com is a good site. Both provide diet, exercise, and support.

The best suggestion I can make is to work with your Dr. first and outline your goals. Most dr s would say that losing 1-2 pounds a week is a healthy weight loss rate. This is accomplished with a combo of a healthy eating plan and targeted exercise. There are many fad diets out there, which is why there are new ones every year, but they work ONLY for a short time. There is only 1 permament and healthy way I know of. Small meals throughout the day (5 to 7 meals) of nutritous foods like lean protien, whole grain breads and plenty of fruit/vegatables will raise your metabolism as your body learns to not store so much fat from your meals. The other side is short, intense bursts of exercise like sprints and strength training which burn far more fat than long distance running (although a long distance runner burns many calories - his body becomes much more efficient at storing and using fat which is the opposite of what a person who wants to lose fat wants.) That is the basic, healthy way to lose weight. No fad diets, no fancy machines or pills. Just basic nutrition, 20-30 min of exercise 3 to 4 days a week. I would say ALL fast weight loss strategies are inherently unsafe. www.archangelfitness.com has links to lots of sites. Some more geared to military fitness, some toward bodybuilding and some especially for women. Depends on what you need. Hope that helps.
