I eat pretty healthy, but I consume way too many calories.  Any advice on how to reduce my calorie consumption and control my urges to eat food constantly.

If you email me, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.\n\nWhat is great about it is you never go more than 3 hours without eating so you don't have a chance to get hungry and since it is all pre-proportioned, there is no reason to overeat.

Well, sadly what you have to learn is control! It sucks but that is the only thing that is going to stop you now and in the future. You should slowly work through it...like eat other healthy foods but limit how much eat...Allow yourself some junk food once in a while...You should try to get yourself into the habit! It's all about control in the end! Hoped that helped!

I work at a gym and try to counsel a lot of the ladies that come there.  Here is the advice that i give to many of them who like to binge on fatty foods and eat when depressed.  Stop buying those fatty foods.  Stop tempting yourself.  If it isn't there, you can't eat it.  (Clean out your kitchen and pantry --excuse to exercise- lift all those cans and garbage outside!) I tell them that they should shoot for only eating foods that they have to prepare themselves.  To actually cook.  This might stop you from wanting a snack if you actually have to make it.  Have apples and fruits around instead of snacks.  Have yogurt around.  when eating fruits, cut them up and slow yourself down.  PORTION is very important.  If you are going to eat something fatty, MEASURE it out.  if you have a whole bag of chips there you will eat till you are overfull.  Measure it out so you only binge a little.  Cravings go away after 15-20 mins.  DRINK A LOT OF WATER.  Get a picture out of your target weight loss.  Look at it and know that you can achieve it.  You're in a funk right now but only you can get yourself out of it.  Be healthy.  just look at your daughter and see all the motivation you need.  From what you wrote, you already know what you want to do.  Now go and do it. Good Luck!!!

I had many clients tell me that when I worked at a weight loss center. We highly recommended a multi-vitamin daily. Lots of people are not affected like this. I always explained it to you having more energy which actually can make you feel hungry. Fuel for the fire so to speak.

ryou are hooked on controlling your food intake and counting amounts?. do u have any energy?  eat 3-6 SM meals a day with proper nutrition.  also go to your family Dr and see what he recommends.  no need to screw up your metabolism \na sandwich w/ jam, and banana,rice with beef "flavor"with cookies, and then pie.

Sounds to me that your satiety signals are messed up.  Those are the signals your brain gives to tell you when you need to stop eating and that you're full.  I would recommend trying to eat something less saturated.  Try sandwhiches to get some initital weight off.  Exercise, walking is best when you are really overweight or swimming so you won't put extra pressure on your joints.  Then increase the exercise and eat.  Eating is great when you're working out, but make sure you get the right vitamins!  Lift weights too!  Good luck!

you need to give yourself a little bit of what you want otherwise you'll keep craving it and then you'll binge, just cut down slowly but you dont ever have to cut it out completely, just eat in moderation, also try lollipops coz you get the sweet taste that should take the edge off the cravings

Just dont eat it. Its only up to you. I know sometimes its hard to stop but you just have to find the will power. And tell yourself that you can do it!

No substitute for controlling calories and getting more exercize.   Make changes that you can stick with as a lifestyle, not temporary "diets".   Walking 60 minutes a day will make a difference, done all at once or little at a time.  Don't try to do too much, or you'll just get discouraged and give up when you don't see instant results for all your hard work.  If you walk an hour a day everyday, you're going to lose weight.  Your appetite will come under control and your metabolism will increase.  \n\nWeight training is also effective (in addition to walking).  Building lean muscle mass will help you burn more calories all day long.\n\n"Junk food" comes in many forms.  Breads, pasta, potatoes, rice, and other simple carbs can do things to your blood chemistry that will interfere with your goal.  Eat lots of fresh vegetables, and not too much fruit. \n\nLimit your portions.  Eat 5 meals a day.  That way you don't get too hungry, and your smaller portions won't seem like such a deprivation, because you know you're going to be eating again soon.\n\nEat slowly, and not in front of the TV.  Enjoy the food.  Most people with weight problems don't truly enjoy the food, they just eat absent mindedly and don't really take time to savor each bite.\n\nStart your meal with a healthy soup, or an apple, and you'll find that it's easier to control your calorie intake.\n\nIf you find yourself wanting more food after a meal and feel like you can't resist the urge, then tell yourself that you can have more, but that you just have to wait 30 minutes.  There's a good chance that the craving will pass, especially if you don't make it a prohibition.\n\nDon't sweat it if you make some bad choices sometimes.   But try to at least make better bad choices.  Don't supersize it, for example.   Better yet, if you "cheat" and visit a fastfood joint, pass on the fries.  Don't look at it in terms of since you've cheated anyway, you might as well enjoy yourself.  Minimize the damage.\n\nGet plenty of sleep.   Lack of sleep triggers inactivity, hunger, and slow metabolism.

Try these simple tips;\n\n1. Drink a plenty of plain water!\n\n2. Chew your food slowly\n\n3. Avoid taking food that kept in the bottle or jug. you will not realize how much you ate. But pick up a handful of it and put in a small plate.\n\n4. Cut your favorite fruits into a cute slices to replace unhealthy snack.\n\n5. Bring a bottle of mineral water anywhere you go. You'll find that you're not interested to buy carbonated drink. Even when you feel thirsty!\n\n6. Get enough sleep. Tiredness will make you eat more high calories foods.\n\n7.

If you can't stop snacking, pop a piece of sugarless gum in your mouth. Less than 5 calories and satisfying. :)

I can't handle anyone else telling me what I can and can't eat.\n\nCurrently, I have lost 26 pounds by just doing my own thing.  I eat two Dannon Light n Fit yogurts, a bowl of raisin bran with 1/2% milk and a sensible dinner each day. I don't say anything is off limits, but I have to watch that I only eat ONE serving of things. I occasionally allow a treat.\n\nIf someone had told me to eat only that every day I would not have followed it. I think sometimes you just really have to figure out what works for you. \n\nA little exercise and a little less food works wonders. And no fast food! EEk, that stuff is horribly calorie-laden.\n\nGood luck to you.

It is hard to stop eating the wrong types of food and do a little excersise, but for your sake you must try to do some exercise, how about a 30 min walk each day. Stop eating after 7pm, try eating more fruit at night instead of fatty foods.
