one thing that works really well is to not eat 3 hours before you go to sleep. anything you eat between then would just turn to fat instead of get fully digested and go through your body correctly, because you'd be sleeping and it doesnt have time to got hrough your body right.

eat healthy and EXERCISE... thats it

Don't eat junk food, exercise, and drink lots of water! Also, try not to eat after 5 or 6. After that time, it's hard to burn off what you ate, and then it justs sits in your body. If you need anything else, just send me something!! ♥ Kristen

I would cut back on red meat. I lost a lot of weight just from not eating pork or cow. Also, try walking 1O mins. before you eat + 1O mins. after you eat. Make sure to do some sort of work-out everyday -- like maybe just 1OO crunches + 5O jumping jacks one day, then running .5-1 mile a day. Good luck=).

There are a lot of fad diets out there (most popular these days being the Atkins and South Beach Diet), but they just don't work and they're very unhealthy (for example- Atkins makes a person go into what diabetics know as ketoacidosis- which can damage your kidneys and not to mention gives you horrible breath).
I'm in medical school so they pound into us the best way to lose weight is a healthy loss of 1 lb per week. This way you don't starve yourself and on top of that it's manageable.
1. Calculate your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) which is the amount of calories your body uses to function ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). I calculated yours to be 1795 calories per day.
2. Reduce your caloric intake each day by 500 calories (3500 calories a week= one pound).
3. Eat fruits and veggies but not the ones full of sugar (beets, oranges, apples etc. high in sugar).
4. Reduce sugar intake (increased sugar causes increase in insulin, which causes an increase into fat cells).
5. Make sure to get plenty of protein (b/c if you starve your body breaks down muscle b/c your brain can't live on energy converted from fat).
6. Eat plenty of small meals (every 3-4 hours small portions)- b/c you want a steady blood glucose level b/c starving will cause your body to go to extremes and will actually store more fat (b/c it knows that this is the only meal it is going to get- so it's less willing to burn it).
7. Exercise (the body no matter what your weight can learn to minimize burning calories (up to only 800 calories a day)- but if you exercise it's forced to turn fat into energy. )
8. Don't over do it. After a workout the body needs time to rest and recoop. Drink plenty of water (carry a water bottle around with you- used as part of the mech of converting fat into energy).
Any other questions- don't hesitate to ask.
