Ok. I'm overweight and i want to lose about 30 to 40 lbs over the summer. I've tried adkins but it isnt workin. I was wondering if there are any diets i can do to help out while exercising (because just that isnt workin either). If you have any ideas i would appriciate them. Thanks.

for the exercise- just find something that you ENJOY doing or you wont stick with it. try yoga, running, swimming, basketball, going on walks, treadmill, aerobics videos or class.

hope i helped..
eternitysofbliss answered Thursday June 9 2005, 4:49 pm: ok to add to what the person before me said, dont drink soda at all. Ok the next thing is eat less. I dont know what you eat now but you might want to cut down. Next is no fast food. Also only have a snack 2 hours after each meal and it can only be a fruit or vegitable. Dont work out right after eating. I recommend eating after a workout 30 min or so (wait until your body cools down). [ eternitysofbliss's advice column | Ask eternitysofbliss A Question ]
oxKateKaylaxo answered Thursday June 9 2005, 4:31 pm: Well, I wouldn't do a diet. I would just try to set limits for myself. Try to eat less junk food and cut down on portions. Only eat when you are hungry or it is a meal (no snacking because you are sad, depressed, etc) DO EAT! It has been proven that if you don't eat you are apt to gain more weight once you start eating again. Also, try to take daily jogs. This will make you slimer and healthier. Hopee I helped!
