Do Not Drink Soda Pop. Even Diet Soda will put on the weight. Drink Lots of H20 (Water). Eat whole grain cereals, and Oatmeal. Get plenty of exercise. Getting out and walking around the block a couple of times a week will help.
Try a low carb diet like the Atkins - cut right down on bread potatoes etc and eat more veg fruit and meat - walking and swimming are good all rounders for exercise.
1) Eat regular smaller meals, (4-5 a day) ESPECIALLY breakfast, if you dont, your body thinks you are starving and turns a lot into fat to try and store some energy2) join a gym and go every other day, even just for an hour or so.3) walk when you can, on smaller journeys, to shops etc etc.4) Try to be happy with who you are, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, dont read about people who have done this or that, just make up your mind at where YOU want to be in a year or something and go for it.5) (may apply, or may not) If you think you are comfort eating cos you are unhappy about another problem sort that problem out as well.Very important....STAY HAPPY!!!!!!!!. hope this helped.

Overall, It s best to talk to a health professional, but If you want tips from a health fanatic:Try balancing your meals filled with rich-nutrients; fruits, veggies, and whole grains. To lose weight, know that it takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound. You can cut (not too much) some calories or burn the calories with moderate exercise.First find out how much calories you burn per day:http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/calburncalcFor instance, If it s 2,000, you can eat up to 2,000 calories per day to maintain your weight. If you cut 300 calories from your diet along with burning 200 calories everyday, you will lose 1 pound a week(0.45 kilo). It s a good idea to set goals like this, just make sure it s realistic. A healthy weight loss is 2 pounds a week. Anymore than this is most likely water weight. That s about eating 1,300 calories (if you burn 2,000 calories) in addition to burning 300 calories everyday with exercise. If you do plan to exercise, remember that muscles weigh more than fat. The scale might not budge, but I m sure the inches on your body will. On the plus side, muscles burns additionally calories.One of the best tricks to start is by replacing cokes with tea, coffee, or water. I didn t mention diet coke, because it contains Aspartame and other chemicals you don t want in your body. Diet coke slows down your metabolism, so I wouldn t suggest it. Another trick is to place your meals in a smaller plate than a large one. It fools your mind into thinking your eating more, hence fuller. I m sure you can find tons more online!For me personally, I enjoy doing leg ups while watching the tv. Just lay on your side and lift your legs straight up and down, then switch sides. My outer thighs gotten stronger and slimmer =). Also, doing squats, running, jumping jacks, or even just walking around can tone down your lower half. That s awesome that you re eating breakfast, it starts your metabolism for the day. But make sure it s not a sugary cereal and the amount is the recommended 1 serving. Lastly, DON T DO ANY FAD DIETS. Through experience I know they never last. Once you stop dieting, the pounds will creep back on and will probably add more weight.Hope this helps and good luck!
1500 calories a day is not enough. At least 1800. Exercise is the best, walking for an hour a night works really well. If you can try to do 20 minutes before breakfast each day. Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Please don t cut out any food groups entirely but cut down your intake of carbohydrates and look for lower fat and salt foods. At the weekends try swimming about 30 lengths of even speed breaststroke. Don t tire yourself out though, because then you will just be less inclined to keep it up. Introduce yourself into the new regime slowly and GOOD LUCK!Love Pink Phoenixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxp.s My mum lost 2 stone in 4 months on the weightwatchers diet, which you can do online. She has kept off the weight for over a year now. Her friend has lost 4 stone on it and she has 5 to go but she is getting there. It works because it is slow. Follow it exactly and be patient. It is a lifestyle change not a diet.xxxx
Ok... as someone who has lost over 100lbs I have tried many many ways of losing weight (south beach diet,diet pills,starvation,ect.) about anything you can think of I have probably tried and I have discovered that the only way to truly lose weight,keep it off, and stay healthy in the process is a program that I use similar to weight watchers but it has many differences; I started it at my gym when I was a part of a 3 month ultimate loser program. The way it works is you take your current weight multipy it by 11 if your a woman 12 if you are a man and then you get the total amount of calories you can eat a day and not gain weight. Then you keep track of your calories on a daily basis and write it down. In order to lose weight you need to cut back on your allowed calories 11/12 x current weight. 3500 calories is equal to one lb. so in order to lose lbs. you cut back on calories and keep track of the difference in allowed calories and eaten calories. so for example if I am allowed 2000 calories a day based on my weight and I cut that down to 1200 calories a day then that leaves 800 calories difference. there are 7 days in a week if I were to eat 1200 calories each day and have an exess of 800 a day that would be 4200 calories a week which devided by 3500 calories (one lb) would mean I would lose 1.2 lbs that week. Now the key to lose weight the fastest is to do this along with excersise. Dont start out crazy and burn yourself out instead start out working out 3 times a week and work up to more. When you do work out keep track of the calories burned and then add that to your exess calories for the day so say i burn 350 calories at the gym 3 days a week I add that to my weeks total of 4200 calories so it would be 5250 excess calories (devided by 3500) = to 1.5 lbs so you loose more weight by working out. This is just an example of what is possible you can drop your calories as much as you want ( I would not go below 1000 a day) this seems like very little but if you choose healthy foods that 1000 calories a day can go far. You can also work out many more times a week then 3 but starting out I would take it slow so you dont get burned out and quit. The more you weigh the more you can potentally lose. I know it sounds like a lot of work and maybe a slower process than you hoped but in order to lose the weight and keep it off forever you have to do it the right way. although fad diets offer a quick fix it will not change your lifestyle forever and enable you to stay fit and healthy. I encourage you to try this for a few weeks... if done correctly It will work! also only weigh once a week at the same time of day.. wearing the same clothes or none at all... allow some variation for water weight.... I have heard that this program is similar to the one used on the biggest loser. I know it may seem like a lot of work but losing weight is never easy but totally worth it! I am so greatful for my weight loss and this program not only enables me to contnue in my quest but also has helped me mantain my weight for years... Good Luck! I hope this helped!
Trying to lose weight quickly is usually unhealthy. Sure you can lose weight quickly, but you will also gain it back quickly. The best way to lose weight in my opinion is to do it slow but steady.1. Reduce the amount you eat SLOWLY. There s a scientific explanation for this, but I can t remember it. It has something to do with your metabolism unable to adjust if you suddenly eat very little for a while, then go back to eating normal amounts after you re skinny. 2. Exercise a moderate amount everyday. If you exercise too little, you won t burn any cholesterol, if you exercise too much, you will get hungry and eat more.3. Don t eat after you exercise. After exercise, you will probably be tired and hungry. If you eat, you will probably be sitting around or lying down after the meal since you are still tired, which will gain you some weight instead.4. If you decide to go on a certain type of diet in which you eat only certain types of food, be sure to take vitamins to supplement the other nutrition that those food lack. All in all, try to eat healthy. But Healthy does not equal dramatically less food intake. Eat healthy, and decrease your cholesterol intake slowly. I d say, reduce by a certain amount after each month. This will be slow, but once you reach your goal, you will notice that you can maintain your weight if you continue to eat healthy.
Eat first thing in the moring when you get up to get your body going. Eat more often but smaller portions like 1/2 a chicken breast 1/2 cup veggies 1/2 cup rice for a meal but try to get in 5-6 meals a day. This will actually speed up your metabolism. Alot of people dont realize how many calories they get in drinks. I only drink water/unsweet tea all day. Cola has between 100-200 cal EACH. Any diet that has you eating 1 certain type of food is bad. It will deplete your body of the variety of nutrients it needs to stay healthy.And as far as exercise just riding a bike and walk/jog/running is good for weight loss.
I found the best way to lose weight without counting calories is to just CUT BACK on what you currently eat. You can still have Mcdonalds and lose weight, i am living proof. Instead of buying a double cheeseburger value meal, try the kids meal single cheeseburger and tell them to give you water instead of the coke. I also cut out all the sugary drinks, coke iced tea and drank nothing but water. And of course you have to add some exercise :) I did cardio for 30 mins 5 x a week till i really started putting the lbs aside, then once i started to plateau, i exchanged 2 days of cardio with 2 days of weight resistance exerices, This really kicked my metabolism s butt into high gear!!! Soon I found I had to cut down on my exercise because even though i was eating like a hog (which i think only made my metab. go higher) i could not maintain my weight, i kept losing! After a year of quiting exercise period and returning to old eating habbits I only gained 10 lbs back of the 45 i lost, and honestly i needed those 10 lbs back, i started to look like a twig:) Losing weight isn t hard once you understand the proper way to do it.
