Q: 18 feamle
Hello! I've started dieting this summer. I dieted last summer and managed to loose some weight, but I think the reason why I didn't loose as much as I wated to was because I didn't have a specific diet plan to stick to. I think if I do have and maintain a plan this summer, I should be able to loose the weight I want to loose. If anyone out there knows of a diet plan I could follow this summer (prefferably one that won't cost me much money) I'd appreciate it.
Oh, I'm also running a few miles like five times a week or so, if that's any help.
Please and Thank You!!!
I've lost some weight using the plate method: mentally divide your plate into four quarters. Of these four quarters, one quarter should be a protein/meat alternative (tofu, for me), one quarter should be a carbohydrate (wild rice), and the other two plates should be all veggies & fruit. For salad sprays, I usually use one of those spritzer salad things, like Wishbone's brand.

Drink your 8 glasses of water, get lots of sleep, and keep up with the running!

Thank you!!!
