Have you tried working out? That's really
the best way I know. Do cardio around
five times a week and weight training
around 3 times a week.

Some of these responses seem a little
confronting, ecspecially if you dont have
much time.
Essentially think of it as a see-saw.
Your intake - what you eat vs. Your
outake - all physical actvity and
exercise. So you need to used up more
kilojules (or calories) than the amount
you consume.
Im sure if you looked in google, you could
find healthy foods that are both good for
you and keep you fuller longer. Foods
that have a low g.I keep you fuller
longer, and instead of big meals but few,
try consuming a number of meals a day of
equal value but spread out.
Again aim to exercise at least 30minutes a
day, 5days a week. You might not be able
to do this yet, but aim for it.

Exercise and eating proper portioned
healthy meals is the way to do it :p no
fast food, ( burgers and fries) try to eat
lots of fiber and whole grains, im doing
really good after having my baby, I go to
curves ( gym) 3 times a week and eat about
7 times a day of small portioned meals and
just snack on little amounts of fruits
veggies. Iv been loosing 10 lbs a month
now :p the healthy weight to loose is 1-2
lbs a week. Good luck hun!

Hi.
Thanks you all for the answers.
I go to the gym once a week (sometimes
twice, when I can). I try to have 3 to 4
meals a day. I don't eat white bread,
because I have ibs and hemorhoids and
that's really bad for me.
I may try to do better these days... :s

Fiber

I have been eating foods high in fiber,
less meat, and doing 30 mins of some kind
of work out whether it is running or
cleaning my house...hahha, its worked
pretty well, dont eat more then 30 grams
of fiber a day though, if you take to much
it could block other vitamins....
hahaha... and I am watching tv, and there
is a news report about eating out..... a
bowl of chicken and broccoli pasta cream
sauce(at ruby tuesdays) has more fat then
4 double cheese burgers at mcdonalds!
YUCK..... so I gues avoid eating out too!

If you want to lose weight, you should try
eating small amounts of diversified food 5
times a day, at regular hours.
Try to eat more at breakfast, because the
calories you get will be burnt during the
day. Also, try eating less at the last
meal of the day, so that when you sleep
you don't have to burn those calories.
Of course, this must be combined with at
least 1h/day of exercise in the gym or at
home ..

I read that report as well. However, I
think life would be easier if you used
dieting to lose 200calories a day and
exercise another 200 calories, as oppose
to just all exercising or all dieting.
If I was really trying to lose weight I
would still use the combination of the
two, and not just diet. Just dieting makes
for a harder time. You would have to give
up many more foods and watch what you eat
much more.

avoid doing leg workouts from heavy
weights, try to do very light weight and
more reps, that way it can help your legs
to be toned and cut (thinner because it's
tighter). however, if you are thinking
more of the dieting side, you should
consider a health program in which i can
provide.
