1) Eat more steam food, lean meat, lean protein, vegies and fruits
2) Cut out the junk food, soda drinks and snacks. Get rid of the junk food from the cupboards! Eat cashew / almond nuts instead.
3) drink plenty of water / green tea
4) Exercise - look at combining weights and cardio into your program. you can look at alternating upper and lower body exercises without rest, say bicep curls, then lunges , rest and repeat. With cardio, try sprinting 100m, jog 100m and repeat.
7) have an action plan for long term goals, start off with small goals and increase it gradually over time. And you will see in your size drop.
8) form a support group. Make yourself accountable to someone like your parents/relatives/friends/partners. Best yet, get them to participate in a healthy lifestyle.
The best diet plan is the one you can stick to for life. I eat a basic low-carb, high-protein diet. That’s what works for ME. You need to find what works for YOU. Just make sure to get in healthy fats, plenty of protein, and whole grain carbs. White bread, white rice, regular pasta, etc. are bad carbs. If you must eat carbs, focus on the “good” ones.
Start out slow…sometimes having a list of 10 things not to do or 10 things to do and skipping a few will only depress you. Start by exercising 30 minutes, add weights when you have the energy.
Start by cutting out junk food, then add no food at all after 7 p.m., then add eating nothing processed and no sugar. It’s about doing what works for you a step at a time.
I, personally, right now, eat really well most all of the time. I rarely have sugar or junk food cravings because I’ve been doing it for a couple of years. At first though, it was so hard! Also, I work out 90 minutes a day. 3 days a week I run for 30 minutes and then do 1 hour of weights. The other days I cycle, hike and push myself hard and I love it!
My diet is basically a lot of protein and a ton of veggies. I eat whole grains when I feel I need them, at least 2 servings a day and they are whole grains, I make my own bread and eat brown rice and experiment with lots of other grains, like amaranth, millet, quinoa, spelt, etc. I eat beans a few times a week and fruit when I’m craving something sweet. I drink only water and sometimes juice. I supplement with protein shakes, brewers yeast(nutritional yeast powder), flax, fish oil, among a few other things. I love eating healthy and prefer it over junk, but it’s taken a long time to get there.
I’ve recently lost 65lbs since April 9 doing the following:
Do not eat over 2000 calories. Make your calories count. 2000 is a lot believe it or not. I kept my food intake as fat free as possible. And here is the kicker for true success…get a diet journal and write what you eat down. You’ll be amazed of how easy it is.
Staple foods with this plan is a lot of chicken breast. Vegetables in the frozen section have a lot to offer that are very low calorie. Snack items…sugar free jello gelatin, sugar free jello pudding. Fresh fruit. 100 calorie snack packs make it easy to keep track.
I lost 21lbs my first month by doing the above and I did not exercise at all. Your weight loss does slow down after this initial period so incorporating some sort of physical activity is essential if you really want to kick it up a notch.
I joined weight watchers last march and lost 42 pounds by August. Also, it certainly wouldn’t hurt for me to tell you that portion is everything. Instead of eating a whole candy bar, eat half of one, hell, eat HALF of everything you eat and you will never have a weight problem.Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water a day, green tea is very good for your body as an antioxidant and help subtly speed up the metabolism. Salads (without fatty dressings and cheese) are very good for you, chicken is the king of meat in my opinion, as long as you don’t fry it. Avoid fast food entirely, and walk anywhere you can as often as possible and get ahold of the 8-10 minute tae bo if you can. Drink diet sodas and juices (aka - cherry coke zero, sobe lean, crystal light, etc.) avoid sugar, switch to the 100 calorie snack packs, including popcorn. Eat apples, they are very filling! Cheese is an unecessary evil as well, so is milk, if you have to have it, drink the fat free kind. 100 calorie popcorn is a great snack. Eat turkey lunchmeat instead of a whole sandwich, etc. Eating is necessary, over eating is not. I also have a meal shake in place of a meal, I find it incredibly helpful at 3:00 in the afternoon.
I eat A LOT of fruit. I excersize as much as I can.

And eat your veggies. They are very healthy.
