I need a good easy and healthy diet? -

I m a little overweight and not willing to pay for a online weight loss program because i only need to loose 2-3 stone. Anyone already have a diet plan which works or has been recomended. I would love to be able to wear my summer clothes from last year nothing fits anymore. HELP!!!

Please DONT diet. Diets arent good for you because they basically screw your body around. Plus, people who diet tend to put the weight back on after and more people tend to gain even more weight. You should opt for a healthy eating plan. Its 100% about respecting your body, is ongoing and keeps you healthy.I think instead of aiming to lose weight you should aim to be healthy and slim down . See the problem associated with weight is that it isnt an indication of how healthy or slender a person is. ALOT of people find that when they exercise and eat right they actually GAIN weight, thats because your fat is being replaced by muscle and muscle actually weighs more than fat. Think of it this way... a professional athlete could weigh in at over 100kg, sure that makes them sound like a HUGE fatty but theyre probably really healthy. Just like a supermodel can be tiny and really unhealthy because she doesnt eat right. Thats why I always encourage people to document two things when trying to lose weight:1. thier actual weight2. their measurements (but, waist, hips, upper arm, thigh, calf and ankle)I say this because although your more likely to put of weight when you build lean muscle, youll find your measurements will decrease ultimately making you look slimmer. (Confusing i know!).You should be consuming no more than 2000 calories per day. When I say 2000, I dont mean you can have them from whatever foods you like. You should now only be eating healthy... that means more fruit and veg, lean red meats and plenty of chicken and fish. Also try to eat more brown foods eg. brown bread over white bread. (its much better for you).Its also really important to get at least 30mins of exercise everyday. This can be however you want, and yes a walk counts. If you play sport then thats great, if not then why not take one up. You could also look into getting some fitness DVDs or joining a gym.METABOLIC TRAINING WORKOUT:Metabolic training means working out all the major muscles in your body, with as little rest during intervals as possible. It��s a mix or cardio and resistance training, which makes it the best workout to tone and sculpt your body.THE RULES:1. There are 7 exercises in the circuit, they should all be done in the correct order2. Once you��ve finished one workout try to move to the next as quickly as possible.3. The workout takes about 15-20 mins. Start out doing it every second day. The, after a week you might feel fit enough to run through it twice in one session. 4. Listen to your body. If you feel faint or short of breath then you should stop and take a break.THE WORKOUT:WARM UP1. 50 thigh taps: run on the spot, bringing your knees up high in front of you so you can tap you thighs with your palms2. 10 truck jumps: run on the spot, then jump in the air lifting your knees up towards your chest3. Finish with 30 star jumpsTIGHTEN YOUR TUSH1. Stand with your legs slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes turned out2. Sqeeuze in your tummy, slowly lower yourelf to a sitting position3.
