I have 3 "main meals" each consisting of protein, starch, fruit or veg and dairy, \nA good snack will be 2 of the food groups.\nMorning snack could be a small yogurt and a fruit cup.\nFor my afternoon snack I have carrot sticks and low fat cheese.\nEat something every 2 or 3 hours, focusing on lots of veg and fruit, low fat dairy and whole grains.  \nWatch portion size.

I would suggest the Medifast Diet from take Shape fro Life. It is healthy and really easy to do. I lost 25 lbs. from it so far. It teaches you to eat 5-6 meals a day every 2-3 hours and you will lose weight quickly and healthy. I hope this helps.

well i lost weight by eating lots of cereals and special bread.also loads of salad and white meat.like chicken.and aslo fish.kippers are very good for you.the oil is very good for your heart and cholesterol.and they are not very fatty,the same goes for tuna.use skimmed milks and sweeteners for your hot drinks.and make sure you exercise.walk at least 2 miles very day or for at least 30 minutes.do not eat anything before midday.only drink pure lemon juice.it helps break up fatty compounds.eat plenty veg.as it makes you go.and that's the best way to lose weight.good luck.i went from 23 stone to 16 stone in6 months.but I'm 23 stone again and have started all over again.still i look forward to the challenge.never set your sights to high for weight loss in one week.don't expect to lose 5 lb per week it will happen at first but as you diet it gets harder to lose.so set yourself realistic goals.of say 2/3 lb per week weight loss.that way you will not be discouraged if you only lose 2lb at the end of the day that's still a standard bag of sugar ,and that's quite a lot.

I can give you the number and stuff. Just e-mail me at lovejae247@yahoo.com

If you want to lose weight quickly and are going to maintain your weight by healthy eating and exercise in the long term then what you should do is eat one nutritionally balanced meal a day for a few weeks; you should take vitamin tablets while doing this though to ensure that you are getting an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals; anyone who says this doesn't work is talking rubbish, although i would concede that it would be likely to be harm full if done for more than a few weeks.

Hey, we are on the same page. I'm 5'3'' and I weigh 125. I used to weigh 107...so I need to lose 18 pounds. I know this sounds crazy.....but I lose weight by eating one meal a day. I'll snack on fruits and veggies only. Limit your calorie intake. Your body burns about 10 times your weight. So right now, your burn about 1,140 calories in a day. There are 3000 calories in a pound. Slowly cut back your intake. I lost 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months doing this. Try eating about 500 calories a day. then youll burn about 600 calories a day + whatever excercise you do. But always snack on healthy foods throughout the day or else your metabolism with slow. NO SODAS.FRIES.CANDY! limit your bread and pasta/rice intake as well.

eat some snacks. I think your digestion is fast. for that reason, you should short meal for about 6 meals everyday. This keeps you from sudden slowing down of energy. \nYou just consume small snacks in the mid-day.

Instead of snacking on chips or drinking sodas, go for fresh fruit and veggies. This doesn't mean that you need to eat salads for every meal, just be sure that you have atleast 5 fruits or veggies in your day. Also, make sure that you eat something for breakfast. Breakfast isn't called the most improtant meal of the day for nothing. It basically kickstarts your metabolism. If you starve yourself of breakfast then by lunch you will be prone to eat more because you'll feel more hungry. The trick to losing weight is actually eating the right combinations of food and watching your portions. Since you said you're pretty lazy and don't have the motivation to go exercise, then just do something that you enjoy instead like walking, riding your bike, skateboard, swim, play a sport, anything that you enjoy and you will have fun doing so boredom will not be a problem and you'll look forward to do that activity each day, 30 minutes a day of physical activity is really all you need...but just a word of caution...as you start to lose weight, your energy level will improve...so laziness really won't be an excuse for long. Just get out there and do something. Start by getting rid of all the junk food and sodas, Drink lots of water and think about what you put in your mouth first and whether or not you think there is a better alternative. Good luck to you.

Eat when youre hungry!  I dont understand how people can starve themselves... That being said, dont stuff yourself when you eat.  Eat until you're full.  Make sure you drink a full 8oz WHILE youre eating.  Chew every bite as if it might be your last.  This will make you get full faster and eat less.  You should eat every 2-3 hours.  Make sure youre drinking water all day as well.  Keep lots of snacks at your desk and try to avoid eating more than one at a time and less than 2 hours after the last one.  Things I keep at work: soy chips, raw almonds, yogurt, kashi dry cereal, weight control oatmeal, Pria (energy/protein bars).  That way I can eat what I feel like.  Keep it to only serving (I actually count out the chips I can eat and put the rest of the bag away before I start).  You should find yourself eating 5-8 times per day.  Make sure youre getting at least 1000 cal per day (visit www.thedailyplate.com if you dont want to keep track of your cal yourself).  Most importantly, remember that a "diet" should be a lifestyle change.  Don't do anything you can't stick with long term or you'll see all the weight you lose just come back.

Don't go on those strictly no eating diets.  And especially always eat three meals a day.  Yes, I said that.  It's healthier to eat three meals a day even if they're small than skipping a meal, like lunch or breakfast.  The reason is is becuase sooner or later, you'll be hungry and then snack on stuff like chips.  If you are hungry, eat fruit or drink milk or even eat yogurt!  Don't drink diet drinks either.  They are worse than the regular sodas.  Just drink water, some juice and some tea.  Just don't hurt yourself on dieting the wrong way.  Just cut down calories, excersize more and get plenty of sleep.  I hope you lose as much you want, just do it safely.  You'll bloom into a more beautiful you!

Is it the "Snow Bird" or similar diet? Very limited, lists exactly what and how much you are supposed to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day for 3 days. The only drinks allowed are black coffee, unsweetened tea or water? Yes I've seen the diet, have a copy of the diet and have tried the diet. If you want to loose 5-10 pounds in one week, do it. But as soon as you return to your normal eating habits the weight comes back and it is not a healthy diet to stay on for more than a week at a time. The hospital won't even leave a patient on this diet for more than 5-7 days.

The one thing you don't want to do is to lose weight - very important.\n\nIf you're five foot and half an inch then 100 pounds is borderline between being underweight and normal weight.  90 pounds would put you into the underweight category and this is an unhealthy place to be considering you have a medium frame.\n\nDon't eat 100 to 300 calories a day as you will make yourself seriously ill.  Your body needs a certain amount of calories just to perform it's basic functions such as keeping you warm and the blood circulating.\n\nFor someone who weighs 100 pounds even when you're asleep your body needs 43 calories an hour - that's a little over 1000 calories a day.  Whilst you're awake you'll need 48 calories an hour to do nothing other than sit and read or watch TV.\n\nYou should be looking at eating upwards of 1500 calories a day just to stay healthy.  You're not going to put on any weight if you eat a good balanced diet.\n\nYou also need to be looking at drinking more water, ideally 6 to 8 avaerage sized glassfuls a day.  Water doesn't have any calories in it and is essential to keep your body healthy and functioning properly.\n\nYour medically recommended ideal weight is between 99 and 130 pounds and your body mass index (BMI) should be between 19 and 25, yours is 19.2.\n\nI get the feeling that you're wanting to lose weight but please don't do this.  A lot of women set themselves unrealistic target weights and can make themselves ill in the process of trying to acheive them.  I guess that the media has a lot to answer for in regards to this with the relentless images of waif like models and stick-thin icons.\n\nIf you are genuinely concerned about your weight then please talk to a physician or dietician who will be able to give you valuable practical advice.

You just have to decide that you want to lose weight.  Will power comes from within.  You didn't say how old you are.  One step at a time might help and eating 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones.  Snack on healthy snacks, like raw veggies or fruits.  Remember, it took time to put extra weight on, and will take time to take it off.

Be VERY careful when trying to lose weight fast.  It is terribly bad for you to lose any more than 4 lbs a week.\n\nTo lose weight, you must exercise a LOT!  In addition, you should eat more than 3 times a day, but only tiny portions.  Maybe a half a fruit and some nuts.  Stay away from high fat items like mayonaise, cheese and fatty meats.  Eat fish, lean chicken or turkey, and PLENTY of vegetables.\n\nDon't forget to exercise every day.  Don't overdo it or you will burn yourslef out.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.
