I'm sure you've all heard the popular diets.
Don't eat meat!
Don't eat Carbs!
Eat less!
They are all wrong.
I'm sure you remember the food group pyramid from your elementary school days. Try to follow that as much as possible. Your body NEEDS all of those groups to be healthy. Also eat smaller meals but MORE of them throughout the day. I eat 6 or 7 small meals every day. Eating fewer meals slows your metabolic rate, while eating frequent small meals will increase it, thereby helping you burn fat faster. A healthy exercise regimine is also needed. Nothing fancy just do as many push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and jumping jacks as you can and go for frequent walks, jogs, or runs, whichever you're most comfortable with. Remember to push yourself when exercising and if possible get a workout partner to keep you motivated. I hope this helps you.

u may be dehydrated, when you want a junk food snack try water. DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT drink diet coke it is crap. aspartame, also known as artificial sweetner, is bad for you. so many ingredients in diet drinks are cancer causing. dont get me rong you wont get cancer by a diet coke a week, but still, i mean doesn't the words artificial sweetner jsut make u want to not drink it?
ok sorry bout that i am annoyed by diet sodas :] cut out the junk. eat whole grain breads, no white breads. no skippy peanut butter, all natural, possibly organic if you can. no junk food.
and i repeat no diet sodas!

I have read some of the answers on here and some are sorry but.. absurd! Only two meals a day? A person can't live like that. If you want to lose weight you CANNOT skip meals or it will mess up your system (you might not get all the nutrients you need etc).
Avoid a lot of sugary or carbonated drinks. Sunkist, Coke, and Dr. Pepper are some examples. Drink water or if you REALLY want something with flavor try lemonade.
Sometimes we think they are hungry when really all we need is water b/c we are thirsty. So before you go grab the junk food grab a glass of water then see if you are still hungry.
Eat three meals (!) but make sure they are not piled high with fat filled creamy things. Trade cheetos and donuts with apples with peanut butter or carrots with ranch or italian dressing.
Just eat more healthy and drink more water! Good luck!

Hey, umm i know this isnt a diet but its helpful to losing weight in those areas. Do 100 crunches every other day. If your a beginner to excerise then start of with 25 or a number that your comfortable with. Then the days you dont do the crunches go on the tredmill. If you dont have a tredmill join a gym or jog/run around yyour neighboorhood. Put before you excerise you gtta get pumped and break alittle sweat so jog in place for 5 minutes. For dieting i dont think its a good idea to do any of those diets out ther soo try this. Only eat 2 meals a day. With no snacking in between.Also drink either diet sodas or water. Hope i have helped. Please rate.

You need to ellimenate fats and processed sugars from your diet. These things just get stored as especially in the food combinations you find them and our timing; when eating them. For example: We have a meal that contains meat and potatoes. The meat slows down the digestive processes in your body so the carbohydrates that you've eaten with the meat doesn't get used as the fuel you intended it to be and it gets stored as fat. That's why a lot of people experience indegestion and gas. By the time you eat the dessert, your body isn't digesting anymore. This is also why everyone feels so bloated during the holidays. So, what your goal at this point is to get your body to become an effecient buring machine. You want your body to burn what you put into it plus a little more (your fat storage depots). One of the best methods to acomplish this is to eat every two three hours as another one of your advisors mentioned. DO NOT cook anything in oil. What you would do is buy some cooking spray like "PAM" and spray your pans before cooking. You can brown things with this etc. If it looks like it might stick you would pour a little water in it as you go. Put extra herbs and spices in to make up for the lost flavor of the fats. You can make any of your recipes, just don't use fat or sugars in the process. I keep baked potatoes in the frig. Take a portion of it and chop it up small and make an interesting home fry (no fat). Put cajun seasoning on it with some parsely and warm it up in the pan. You can also slice the baked potatoe up into french fry slices, dip them in egg white, put them on a non-stick cookie sheet and back them at about 300 degrees util they are browned, turn them and brown them again. Make up big batches to have on hand to snack on. You see, you are going to eat more often so you are going to eat less amounts at each meal, but probably more than you would have had you stuck to the standard American diet. Don't eat more than 2 oz.s of meat, which should be limited to chicken, turkey, fish and eggs (The whites only). Red meat just stores as fat and gets stuck in the system. Don't eat any bread, dairy products, candy, processed sugars, or pasta. This stuff stores quickly as fat before you have a chance to burn it off or it clogs you up (cheese and red meat). There are seaweeds out there that have the same consistancy as pasta that you can use for pasta and it tastes like spinach pasta. Your health food stores should have them. You will find that if you eat this way you will get hungry more. This is good. This is your body saying it is working. Simply eat a snack and that doesn't mean sit down to a bag of potato chips. An example menu would be: Breakfast: 2 egg whites and 1/2 C Oatmeal, a gourmet one would be egg white omlet with green pepers, onions and fresh salsa with fresh fruit salad. Mid morning snack: 2 oz tuna (packed in water and no salt added) & 1/2 grapefruit, gourmet mid morning snack would be fish-ke-bobs skewers of mahi or shark with squash, onions, pepers and cherry tomatoes. Lunch: 2 oz. chicken brest, 1/2 med potato & 1 c greens or steamed veggies. Gourmet lunch: Salad with 1 oz Tuna over lsttuce, green beans, 1 hard boiled egg white & boiled potato pieces. Mid afternoon snack: 1-2 oz chicken & 1/4 cantaloupe. Gourmet snack is chicken broccoli stir fry w/onions, garlic, banboo shoots, water chestnuts and ginger. Dinner: 2oz grilled fish, small baked yam and 1-2 cups steamed veggies or her encrusted red snapper, rasted new potatoes and green salad. PM Snack: 2oz. chicken & 1/2 cup mixed berries or Turkey slices wrapped around cantaloupe. Now I kow I told you that carbs and proteins digest at different rates, but there are some carbs and proteins than can work together even if it isn't at their best they will still burn. These are the ones you see here. Good luck and if you have further questions feel free to ask.
Namaste,

dont eat as many sweets and sugars and eat more healthy stuff like fruits and veggies. exercising is good too. for some exercises go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

First thing is first...with dieting starving yourself is the worst way 2 do it. You will actually probably gain more weight by doing that. Your body needs a certain amount of fats and carbs each day and if it doesnt recieve them normally then any food you do it your body will turn them into fats.. so yeah this is the worst way.
The trick that i think works best is eating around every 3 hours. Your body should never feel hungry. And of course the basic comman sence stuff really, try and cut out chocolate and all junk foods etc. No fizzy drinks (contains sooooooo much sugar)
Exercise atleast around 3 times a week. Even with a good diet and you exercise for around 20-30 mins each day, i garuntee you will see the difference in around two weeks.
