Hi!\nFirst of all I'd have little snacks  - a little roast\nbeef,  a hard-cooked egg,  a small salad with\na little vinaigrette only, ... a piece of fruit ..\na small bowl of  granola ...but no full meals, and eat only  when you are hungry or feeling faint.\n\n\nYou are in an awkward spot  (who  gave you that\ncostume,  anyway???):  you need to lose weight\nbut you need to build your stamina for your performance at the same time ....\n\nHave some herb tea with honey and lemon... and\nspring water  can often take away hunger ... \n\nA friend of mine who performs a lot says that  he always has jellybeans with him in case he is feeling a little under ... it is the glucose,  he said

Please dont make the mistake I made. When I was a kid, I tried all kinds of crazy diets. What you lose is only temporary but the what you really lose is your metabolism.\n\nWhat I mean is this. Drastic diets SLOW DOWN your motablism. Believe it or not, you need to EAT to lose weight!\n\nYou need to eat healthy foods in moderate quatities and excersize.\n\nI know that sounds boring but believe me, it will work and it will last forever if you do it that way.\n\nPlease ask your parents to take you to your doctor and he will tell you exactly how many calories you should be eating. Ask him if he would reccomend Weight Watchers for you, its a great program and I promise you you will be very happy.\n\nLearn from somebody that has been there...\n\nGood luck

there is no such thing as dropping that much weight "quickly." (of course, it really depends on what you mean by "quickly.") not least because crash diets don't work. it is a known fact that crash dieting can throw your metabolism out of whack, and it makes it far more likely that you will gain it all back and then some. (dieting makes you fatter in the long run.) \n\nthe best choice is your good diet plus as much aerobic exercise as you can manage. what errands can you do by walking instead of driving? or what about biking? here's what i would do:\n\n1. walk or bike to work or school, if at all remotely possible. do errands by that method as well, even if it means you have to drive home, and THEN do the errand. \n\n2. any time you're watching tv, make a rule that says you have to be exercising in some fashion. \n\n3. do stairs. running up and down the stairs is a convenient way to get exercise. take the stairs anywhere you might otherwise take an elevator. \n\n4. eat three sensible meals every day. no snacks unless they're fruit or veggie. NO junk food at all. if you can stand it, drop all meat and dairy products. vegans are almost never fat. \n\n5. get at least 40 minutes of aerobic exercise Every Day. \n\ni know you asked about diet. but diet alone is not enough. the only way to lose weight and keep it off is to make your diet permanently healthy and to get enough exercise.\n\n---\nand to add: the suggestion of "try bulimia" (throwing up, taking laxatives) is horrifically irresponsible. not only is it addictive, it ruins your teeth, can cause serious stomach and esophagus problems, and DOESN'T WORK. bulimics mess up their ability to process food in healthy ways, which eventually, if they don't want to DIE, means they end up getting fat. it can lead to permanent, irreversible damage to your body.

If you are serious about loosing weight, follow these guidelines:\n1. Forget pills and fad diets. They don't work. Even if you loose weight with them you will just gain it back.\n2. Eat healthy, low fat, vegan meals of whole grains, beans, veges, and fruits. \n3. Don't eat dairy products, junk food, fast food, or snack foods. Don't eat anything that is sold in vending machines.\n4. Get lots of aerobic exercise. \n5. Focus on improving your overall health and fitness rather than loosing a particular number of pounds within a particular time frame. Make maintaining overall health and fitness a long term commitment rather than a crash weight loss program. \n6. Set measurable, realistic fitness goals using standard measures of aerobic fitness, such as the cooper test. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_test\n7. Educate yourself. Read "The Aerobics Program for Total Well-Being" by Kenneth Cooper to learn how to create an effective exercise program. Read the "The Mcdougall Program : 12 Days to Dynamic Health," by John Mcdougall to learn about healthy eating..

Ok here goes.\n\nDo NOT go on a diet pill. These make you totally hyper, and can cause joint damage.\nDo NOT go on a low carb diet. Low carb diets work by causeing your body to go into ketosis. You will be miserable. (I know from experience!)\nDo NOT eat "diet" foods made with artificial sweetners or that claim to be no fat/no sugar. These foods are not good for you, and people tend to eat more of them because they are not satisfying.\n\nDO drink lots of water. This is the only thing you should be drinking daily. Try to get it filtered (no chlorine/flouride)\nDO excerise. I know you're in a wheelchair, but if you at least do upper body excercises, you'll increase muscle there. Increased muscle means increased calories burned while at rest\nDO get enough sleep. Not sleeping enough slows down your metabolism, and tricks your body into thinking it is hungrier than it really is.\nDO talk to your doctor about your desire to lose weight. They can refer you to a nutritionist, who is qualified to give you advice.\n\nGood luck!

well, if you want to diet, try the best and simplest diet, follow the food pyramid.  drink a lot of water, eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, at least 3 dairy products, about 5-6 breads/cereal/grain products daily, get plenty of sleep, stay away from a lot of sugars and oils, limit sodas to about 1 or 2 a day, and continue to exercise as you do now.  but if not in sports, try to exercise at least 30-45 minutes a week.  you know don't do any crash dieting, just eat healthier and excercise.  hope that helps.  take care, and many blessings!

Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! In other words, shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket :). Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, white flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar and white flour! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Good LUCK!!

Hey what's up...\nI know how you feel, I've been there, but in my case I was on a low budget and wanted to loose it super fast and easy, I couldn't afford any fancy programs, or the time it takes with some atkins diet, so, I found something that has worked so well for me and will work for you too. \nI have made a 100% turn-around and the results have been simply amazing. Now do not worry, I won't keep this secret to myself, I'll go ahead and share it. When you think about it is is really logical and research from some of the worlds top Doctors/PHD's recommend this. CAUTION this will give great results and will take will-power and you will enjoy complete satisfaction…NOW, LET ME INTRODUCE THE TEN RULE\n\n1.Replace all sugary sodas and fattening artificial juices with pure water and organic teas (occasional juices are o.k. but they will delay weight-loss)\n\n2. Eat an excellent breakfast every day... Make Meals colorful with nuts and grains, fruits n' veggies,dairy,meats... etc.\n\n3. Don't just eat HUGE meals a day but instead have 6, yes 6 little ones... you can make it fun and you won't feel so hungry. If you are full stop eating. \n\n4. Exercise and also just like eating you can do 6 portions of exercise in between...\n\n-push-ups\n-lunges\n-running or fast walking\n-squats\n-weights\n-or any fun activity (golf,sk8boarding,swimming)\n(DO WHAT YOUR DOCTOR RECOMMENDS THE ABOVE IS ONLY A SAMPLE )\n\n5. DO NOT EAT AFTER 7:30\n\n6.If you get sleepy or loose some energy take a quick,brisk walk outdoors\n\n7.Do not eat and watch TV \n\n8.Keep yourself motivated (listening to music or planning a tasty supper can help)\n\n9.Get plenty of rest\n\n10.LAUGH, yes laugh there are many great laughs on youtube\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOTHER FACTS\n\n\nToday there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.* Be in right frame of mindBefore you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.* Eat whole foodTop weight loss tipsEat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.* Eat fresh fruitEat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.* Drink enough waterDrink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.* Always chew your foodAlways chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.* Take small mealsEat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.* Include protein at mealInclude good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.* Shut off TV while eatingShut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of

Well definitely cut down on your complex carbs (potatoes, rice, etc).  balance protein, carbs and fat (very important).  Get protein from turkey, chicken, tofu, tuna, egg whites, fat free yogurt and protein powder.  Carbs from fruits, vegatables.  Fat from olive oil, avacado and almonds. Always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge. \n\nIf you don't like to exercise, then only drive when you absolutely have to, and walk as much as possible.  People underestimate the power of cutting out vehicles by at least 20%. \n\nDrink water as your primary source of liquid.  Do not drink any soda at all - it is completly unnecessary.  \n\nChange your eating perspective to 'one meal at a time'.  If you over eat, or eat something very fattening that's okay, you are one meal away from eating healthy again.  You should never feel deprived.  It is important to try and make a committment. \n\nAfter living like this for a few months you will feel you don't want those unhealthy foods so much.  \n\nThe main issue for most of us is not having ever learned how to eat healthy.  Our bodies want healthy food, and it's much more natural for us to walk than get into a vehicle.  This is not a novelty or fad, this is how it's supposed to be.  \n\nBy following this, without strenuous excersise, your body will get to its optimum weight naturally and in a reasonable amount of time.\n\nGood Luck

Try light, or nonfat vanilla yogurt, nonfat Axelrod cottage cheese with pineapples, part skim ricotta (i'm italian- i love it!), a glass of milk-us ladies need it!-dairy really fills you up! Carrots, apples, celery, watermelon, stone wheat crackers-very low carb-with low sugar and sodium Peanut Butter and DRINK PLENTY O WATER!! no soda, no juice, try a squeeze of fresh lemon or orange in it for taste ;-)\n\nThe less sugars and salts in your diet the less you desire to eat processed foods. \nAlso, honestly try out: www.FitDay.com . Every time I go back to that site I get a grip on reality. You enter the food you eat each day and it breaks down the calorie,s fats, proteins and alcohol in the food. You can add housework and sleeping and even sexual activity to calculate your calories burned each day, etc! It helps you understand alot about your body and the effect of what you put in it.\n\nDitch the cookies! I dont miss my Oreo's too much. I can have some when I lose 10lbs ;-)

The government put together a website in accordance with the USDA's Dietary Guidelines. It's very useful, and very easy to use. Use the following web addresses. The first is the homepage of the site, the second is a page where you can set up a FREE account to track your daily progress not only of nutritional intake but also your daily activity which is just as important! The tracker lets you know if you've met your recommended daily intake for each particular nutrient based on your height, weight, sex, and physical activity level. \nWhatever you do, don't subscribe to any of these crash or fad diets, and certainly do not take any prescribed diets from anyone without first checking their credentials. For your safety you should make sure that they are a Registered Dietician. \nHope this has helped!

Here are 25 great weight dropping tips!\n\nEating Tips\n\nGood things come in small packages. Here's a trick for staying satisfied while still keeping portions under control: Cut high-calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you're getting more than you actually are.\n\n\nDon't give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don't cut them out of your diet completely. Just use low-fat sour cream or mayo instead of the full-fat stuff.\n\n\nGet water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high-calorie snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. Add some zest with a twist of lemon or lime.\n\n\nHerb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavor to foods without adding fat or calories.\n\n\nSlim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top. Skim it off the surface for reduced fat content.\n\n\nDoggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants, ask the server to put half your entrée in a doggie bag before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practice portion control.\n\n\nListen to your cravings. If you're craving something sweet, eat something sweet — just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high-calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings — for example, try air-popped popcorn with soy sauce instead of high-fat tortilla chips. It's just smart substitution!\n\n\nEase your way into produce. If you're new to eating lots of fruits and veggies, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile veggies on top of your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.\n\n\nLook for high-fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high-calorie entrees? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.\n\n\nDon't multitask while you eat. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't be paying attention to what's going into your mouth — and you won't be enjoying every bite. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.\n\n\nTaste something new. Broaden your food repertoire — you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable. (Ever had jicama, plantain, bok choy, starfruit or papaya?)\n\n\nLeave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you feel satisfied eating just a bit less.\n\n\nGet to know your portion sizes. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating. Don't just estimate things — make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.\n\n\nMake a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthful counterparts. Find a substitution that works for you: Use skim milk instead of whole milk; make up a batch of brownie mix with applesauce instead of oil; try a whole-grain bread instead of white.\n\n\nBring lunch to work. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and fast-food joints, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).\n\n\nHave some dessert. You don't have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free — be sure you're practicing portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.\n\n\nAsk for what you need. Tell your mother-in-law you don't wan

Drink lots of water and don't shun carbs, our brain needs them to function! Stick with smart carbs. Stay away from processed foods. Good healthy snacks to keep you going are V-8 juice, lowfat mozzerella sticks and whole wheat pita bread with hummus. That way you feel sustained and don't break down and gorge at meals!\nWhen I cook pasta I make the Barilla Plus, which has 17g protein, 7 g fiber, and 360 mg of Omega 3! Now that is a healthy way to get your pasta. I put veggies in my pasta dishes every chance i get to add some fiber and help fill me up. Bell Peppers are a good choice sliced and mixed in with some chopped chicken breast.\nTry and eat fruits and veggies every chance you can. They are amazingly low in calories and will help fill you up. Good choices are spinach salad, crisp, cold green grapes, and sweet sugar snap peas for snacking on.\nEat lean and low-fat sources of protein at every meal, it should be part of a calorie-controlled diet that's also rich in 'smart carbs' such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with healthy fats like nuts, seeds, olives, oils, fish, and avocado.\nBe sure to look for protein sources that are nutrient-rich and lower in fat and calories, such as lean meats, beans, soy, and low-fat dairy.\nI think the best diet is the 3 hour diet. \nThe problem with other diets is that they require starving your body of needed calories or carbs, things we need to survive and have proper brain function! When we do that, our body goes into survival mode and doesn't want to burn fat like we want it to! They cause you to lose lean muscle tissue and lean muscle is your metabolism, your resting metabolism.\nIt is well known that high levels of cortisol hormone (which is produced when we cut too many calories & put our body under stress) are closely associated to abdominal fat. Medical research has shown that eating every three hours helps reduce levels of cortisol and that is the key to losing belly fat first.\nBy eating every three hours you lower belly fat, you burn two pounds a week and you prevent muscle loss, which keeps your metabolism active. Then you constantly reset the metabolism so you're constantly burning fat. That's the beauty of what it does, and because there are no bad foods, it brings back the joy of eating.\nThat is what I try to do and recently I learned that there is actually a Yale University endorsed 3-Hour Diet™!\nI could explain how it works, but I'll let the experts do the talking.\nGood Luck!\n\nMango\n\n"The Yale University endorsed 3-Hour Diet™ is about uncovering the buried concept of timing – the fact that when you eat is critical to weight loss. By eating every three hours you’ll constantly set in motion your metabolism™ and lose two pounds a week starting with belly fat first. And you will never have to count calories or ban any foods including carbs.\n\nSo how does the 3-Hour Diet™ work exactly? The answer is found in what we call: Time Based Nutrition™. It’s the future of effective nutrition. Think of it as a new category of nutrition. Forget low-fat or low-carb. It’s the power of combining smart eating with smart timing. Yes, timing. You see, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off has to do with much more than what you eat.\n\nWhy every 3-hours? Countless numbers of research studies have confirmed the power of eating every three hours. What specifically happens if you wait more than 3 hours to eat? Well, after 3 hours your body passes a tipping point and signals your body to launch its natural “starvation protection mechanism” or your SPM. When your SPM is switched on, your body preserves the most calorie-rich tissue in the body to ensure your survival. That tissue is body fat. But there’s even more bad news. This is the most critical point you must never forget about the 3-Hour Diet™: Anytime you allow more than 3 hours to pass without eating, your body not only preserves body fat, but wors

Do not eat carbohydrate (rice, potato, bread, cookies, etc) at all !!!\nEat only vegetables and fruits. I highly recommend you to eat vegetables, because fruit contains some sugar which is not help you a lot to lose weight.\nThese are some low-calorie veggies : \nlettuce\ncarrots\ncelery\ncucumber\nasparagus\nbeets\ncabages\n\nand fruits : \nstrawberries and all the berries\ntomatoes\nkiwi fruit\ncherry\n\nThese are some meal plans for you :\nBREAKFAST : 4 strawberries, 1 kiwi fruit, 1 cup of tea/coffee without sugar, 1/2 cup of  natural non-fat yogurt\nLUNCH : you can only have salad and some grilled chicken breast or steamed fish. DO NOT eat salad with mayonaise, mustard, oil olive, etc. Just salad without any dressing.\nDINNER : Fruit salad with another 1/2 of yogurt dressing, or you can have some vegetables soup (Do not put any cream or milk on your soup, never!!)\nSNACK : Carrots and celery. Eat as much as you want, but only carrots and celeries.\nDRINKS : Water, green tea, and coffee without sugar. No soda, milkshake, cow milk, etc).\nDo not eat sweets (candies, chocolates, cookies). Do not have dessert. From now on all that you have are salad with steamed or grilled chicken breast and fish. \n\nTry to eat those things for 1 week. If it doesn't work, go extreme (I really don't suggest this actually, just in case that you'll have your mariage in 1 week). Eat 2 cups of natural and non-fat yogurt for a day and drink water. Eat 1/2 cup of yogurt for breakfast, 1 cup for lunch, and another 1/2 for dinner. Don't do this if it's not really necessary.
