As John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." So true.



Giving advice is sort of second nature to me. I use to have a column on here but ended up deleting it. Now once again I have decided to give advice again. I value people and their problems and try to help them the best I can.



No question is a silly question. Every question has importance. I sometimes feel like some of my questions I want to ask are viewed as pointless but have comed to realize that this isn't entirely true.



My biggest pet peeves are bad spelling, grammar and punctuation. It's silly, but I mean it's not that difficult to tell the difference between you're and your. Or even their, they're and there. No offense if you do any of this, but we learned all of these when we were younger in 5th grade (give or take).



Personally one of my favorite quote is by Eleanor Roosevelt. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
If only people would truly realize this, the world would be so much happier.

I've been trying really hard to like focus on loosing weight. But it's actually quite difficult. I'm at like, 200 lbs and I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to lose weight for the summer? Like, what helps you stop your cravings for fatty foods? And what are good foods to eat & how to excercise.

PLEASEPLEASE

I've been doing this as a diet and I've noticed the pounds fly out. Even in the first two weeks you'll notice results.



For a diet eat 5 times a day. 3 meals and 2 snacks. It'll help you stay full while your metabolism burns up fat. Eat things like chicken, turkey, red meat, nuts like walnuts and almonds, peanut butter for protein, yogurt and milk (Silk Soy Milk is really really good, and enjoyable the chocolate is good) for diary, fruits and veggies, and whole grain foods like rice, waffles, bread. Kashi foods has a selection of different things from cereal, waffles and nutrition bars. For breakfast you could have something like Kashi Go Lean crunch cereal with skim milk and blueberries. Lunch you could have a mixed green salad with chicken, cranberries, walnuts, carrots, avocado. For salads buy Wishbone salad spritzers for 10 sprays it's 10 calories and they have things like Raspberry Vinaigrette and Balsamic Vinaigrette and Italian dressing. Dinner you could have chicken stir fry with peppers, onions, broccoli, soy sauce and a side of rice. All of this helps with your diet. For snacks you could get nutrition bars like Luna, and Pria bars, or you can cut up apple and have peanut butter with them. Drink plenty of water. Don't drink soda, even diet soda. It has a ton of sodium which won't be worth it. You'll be eating, and healthy at that and won't crave foods like burgers and fries, or even chips. You won't even have cravings for foods during the day.




For exercise do cardio like walking or jogging. Walking will melt away the pounds since it burns a ton of calories you wouldn't even realize it. After you start doing that you'll notice you're losing a lot of pounds, after that incorporate weights (like free weights or dumb bells). Self magazine's website has a lot of different exercises you could do to work your arms, legs, back, chest and abs. If you want you can get a stability ball and do crunches on it. It'll help build your stomach muscles while you're losing weight.


Keep at it and don't give up. You'll notice a lot of weight loss just from a simple diet and simple exercise. Good luck, and I hope this helps you. Message me if you need anything. :)
