don t waitt ill your starving to eat. you will tend to eat more if you do. to avoid this, I personally always carry a granola bar in my purse, and will ocassionally take a bite out of it if I start getting hungry but am too busy to go out n have an actual meal.everyone s metabolosm is dsifferent, and it helps some to eat more frequently, but in lesser porprtions. Also, my brother only eats one very large meal a day, n he s pretty skinny.
tradititonally, eat smaller portions. Try your best not to eat anything heavy after 6pm. Drink more water. eat less sweets, more vegetables and increase your activity level. If you cannot join a gym, try to walk at least one mile everyday, and gradually increase it. cut down on junk food and fast food. take vitamins and tell yourself that you can do it.
Fast during Lente
Excercise and eat healthy. Enroll into a gym. Eat fruits and vegtables. Cut out junk food sugar,and soda. Cut back on carbs and don t allow yourself to eat 5 hrs before going to sleep.
Krista says: Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. ROTFLMAO!! There s no proof that anyone needs that much water. NONE. Just folklore, urban myth, old wives tale. (See references) And the belief that it helps your body pick out the nutrients is just plain unfounded. Your body does a fine job picking out nutrients with or without excess fluids.Bottom line: Drink when you re thirsty. Period. Do not obsess over or worry about getting some arbitrary amount of water as a daily goal . You already get most of the water your body needs from the food you consume. The rest of Krista s advice is reasonable. But she s got some crazy ideas about physiology.READ: http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/batman.h��http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8gla��http://calorielab.com/news/2006/05/28/8-��
Try the Special K cereal diet. It limits your food intake, plus it s fairly healthy and has a few vitamins...have one cup of cereal and a half a cup of skim milk for breakfast and lunch, then have a regular dinner. Also, cut out ALL drinks except water and maybe some NATURAL juice. In addition to running with my dogs, this REALLY worked for me!
no drugs!!!!it s that simple
Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that��s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. Don��t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can��t live without your one treat a day, don��t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that��s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you��ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night. As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

Honestly if you need anything else don t hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don t pick me as best answer, i d be happy to help. Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC. There are many, many helpful facts on there.
Follow the food guide. If you do that, you re not denying your body of anything it needs. Have small meals with frequent snacks (healthy things). Try to limit your caffeine intake too. That also makes a difference. Helped me lose 23 lbs.
Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu s even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
