try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

You should eat something after you exercise. A piece of fruit would be good.  You should never be hungry.  If you are always hungry, take a look at what you are eating.  Try to spread out the calories differently or try eating different foods so that you don't get hungry.

It may not be what you eat but how you eat. You can eat pretty much what you want as long as you use strict portion control.\nAlso, vary your exercise, the body can get used to one type of exercise.\nHave you tried water aerobics? It's really fun plus you have the resistance of water to help you.

Y'know... when i hear people doing these walks i say "go for it".  It's MUCH BETTER than staying in to be sucked dry in front of your tv, so if it's either that or nothing, go with the walk.  It's still HEALTHY for you :)  However, if you do want to lose weight, gotta watch what you eat.  View food not as "for fun eating", but see it as energy that you either use or store and try to use most of that energy... eh, it works for me hehe :p One thing to not forget NEVER STOP EATING.... got that? dont do the whole "less eating" thing, it's bad and will cause your body to store a bit more energy since you're not getting enough to sustain your body.  You will also want to eat more *since you're burning a lot more when you DO exercise* so when you get the 'munchies' and you're working out, it's perfectly normal -JUST KEEP IT HEALTHY :)

I don’t know about food, but I know an AWESOME way to get ride of fat…and quickly. And guess what? It is a BLAST to do! \n\nTake any type of a dance class. Dance everyday to something quick, and watch the pounds fly away!

Exercise doesn't have to cost you a thing. \nYou do not have to buy anything special just eat sensibly and cut back on fatty items.\nVegetables are cheaper than meat so fill yourself up with those.\nTake pills at your own peril.

Eat healthy and exercise (start the exercise slow if you're new at it).

There is no quick if you want healthy.  if you loose more than 2-3 lbs a week you are loosing unhealthy weight.  Usually just water, or muscle.  The only way to loose weight is to use more than you eat.  Yep, that means you gotta exercise.  Even if its walking instead of driving to the corner store, it adds up.  Try to stick with a balanced diet.  It's kinda hard trying to loose weight, but I'd recomend sticking with carbs.  Less fat and health risks.  That adkins thing, I'm iffy on.  Plus carbs help you feel full better than protein.  If you got a sweet tooth, try fruit.  It's sweet enough to curb a lot of cravings and low in calories.  A web search will get you a nutrition guide to the best fruits to eat.  Most are less than 100 calories so you can eat a lot.  And watch what you drink.  Sodas and juices have a lot of calories.  If you can cut that out, you might be able to make the calorie deficit you need.  That's all it takes for me.  Water gets boring fast, but there is a lot of 10 cal. mixes at the grocery store to give you flavor with out adding the other 160 calories.  Good luck.

Diet fad and pills are the worst way. Most require a certain way to eat and exersize anyway, so dont waste your money.\n\nA good way is to do simple little things so it becomes a habit. For example, decline seconds at dinner, stick to main food groups and have half a snack instead a whole one. Doing more things is great, like taking the long way home, bike instead or drive (it'll save on your gas!) or just go for a daily walk, slowly extending the time (I take daily walks, and with my mp3 player it makes it much more enjoyable). I'm at a healthy weight for my age (between 120-130) and never had to diet because I do what I just said.

It is good that you are wanting to eat healthy. A bowl of ice cream is not going to hurt you as long as you eat one bowl and not three. You are still growing and you need a good variety of different foods in your diet every day to help you grow and develop. You also need more calories at your age to achieve this!\n\nAs far as your food choices are concerned you can cut back on cokes and instead  drink a lot of water, milk (no more than 24 oz in a day) and a little bit of 100% juice (no more than 6 oz in a day). Too much juice is not good for you. I would recommend drinking milk. Too many teens skip out on milk when their bodies need calcium. \n\nFor food try and pack your lunch instead of eating the cafeteria food. Pack a sandwich, a piece of fruit, some carrots and a little bit of ranch dressing to dip it in and maybe some wheat thins or crackers that are whole grain.  Your parents can help you choose the right types of foods to put in your lunch if you are having trouble deciding.\n\nAt home if you are wanting chips eat popcorn instead. It has less calories and it will fill you up. You can also choose to eat yogurt, fresh fruit or peanut butter with crackers or cheese with crackers or grahm crackers and milk.  These are all healthy snacks and you will need to eat something when you get in from school. If you do not eat a snack it may cause you to want to eat more later in the day and reach for the junk.\n\nFor dinner ask to help prepare dinner with your parents and tell them that you want to eat healthy. As a family you will be able to make good decisions together about what to eat. \n\nI do want to let you know that you are in a healthy weight range for your height. It is perfectly OK to eat healthier but do not get too concerned if one day you eat pizza and drink cokes. \n\nIt is all about your attitude. Most men like women who are healthy and who are not all skin and bones and who can eat food without feeling bad about eating.\n\n\nI hope this helps!! Good luck to you and just remember to have a healthy attitude about who you are and don't try to diet or limit your diet too much.

Change what you snack on. Get some carrot sticks and a dip snack on that.. Have lots of fruit laying around the house.  Popcorn is a healthy snack  (Not salted or toffee).Allow yourself one day a week to eat whatever you like. Don't eat convience foods, prepare your own meals . Swap chips for oven chips. Pile lots of vegatables on your plate to fill you up. Eat cereal for breakfast.  Eat healthier rather than going on  a diet, it's never good to deprive your body of certain foods.  Eat rice and pasta, they fill you up too.   If you are cooking, you won't be bored  while your doing it. Maybe you could take up a hobby that keeps your hands busy to stop you snacking. (Doing  jigsaw puzzles,,  puzzles in books knitting, sewing, cross stitch, crochet). You should do some excercise (another boredom reliever) maybe yoga for beginners to start with as it's gentle (I  work out to a yoga video for beginners). Phone friends & family, write letters,  organise your cupboards, wardrobes, doors, clean,  go for a walk in the park, feed the ducks. Do gardening. Get plenty of sleep, people who don't get enough sleepare more likely to be overweight. If you have trouble sleeping drink cammomile tea. Swap fizzy drinks for water , fruit juice, herbal teas. Good luck.

try putting a piece of ductape over your mouth. But if you have to eat. Go with the basics. No Meat. Its hard to digest. Go with some raw vegetables. A salad. Something like that. If you go that route you wont be filling yourself with bad calories and fat. I like to eat a piece of fruit at night. Its sweet and fills a void.

Drink a lot of water and by a lot I mean A LOT! Also stay away from eating greasy fried foods. Don't ever eat until you are "stuffed" or "full" trust me you will lose weight if you keep exercising.

I just reviewed this book for Amazon that would be great for you.  It's called Ten Habits That Mess Up a Woman's Diet by Elizabeth Somer.  Here's what it covers:\n"The author explains the situational, chemical and emotional contributors to overeating or poor eating. She recommends different strategies that fit the different triggers or causes. Read this book to get the right tool for your situation. Maybe it will be a food journal, healthy munchies, calorie tracking, ways to love veggies, but it definitely won't be a fad diet. \n\nHabit 1: Mindless Eating \nHabit 2: Putting Other's Needs Ahead of Our Own \nHabit 3: Not Being Honest \nHabit 4: Skip the Broccoli, Eat the Fries \nHabit 5: Setting Off Without a Plan \nHabit 6: Excuses, Excuses, Excuses \nHabit 7: I'm Moody, Let's Eat! \nHabit 8: Give Me the Quick Fix, Now! \nHabit 9: Drinking Away Our Waistlines \nHabit 10: The All-or-Nothing Approach to Dieting

dont listen to the first reply............everything is so loaded with carbs, it sucks...carbs are the enemy and you should always try to eat as few as possible, any doctor will tell you the same....it dont mean starving yourself or eating only meat, not at all........you should not go on any diet fad or program, the only thing you need to do is cut the sugar and eat as few carbs as you can...this dont mean spending money on expensive low carb crap....just do this......make sure you drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water a day, buy yourself one of those 32oz water jug things and drink 2 daily...also, when you go to serve yourself, just serve like normal then take half off the plate and put it back, or if your at a restaurant, when you get your order, put half in a too go box before you eat, even if its fast food or sumthin........save it for later....exercise is good too but i know it sucks to do it and its hard...but if you dont then you dont, just do the other stuff.....if you live in a house then get a dog so you can take em for walks and walk yourself too...................if only i could follow my own great advice!!
