Alin75 answered Sunday January 29 2006, 10:41 am: I am also an advocate of the "no diet" principle. There are many ways to solve your problem. In the end, its very much a question of burning more energy than you consume. Eating many small meals (as written below) is a good idea, it helps elevate your metabolism so you burn more calories.
If you have the discipline to start training at the gym (and I mean doing weights), then that would be the most efficient form of exercise for fat loss. Weight training boosts your metabolism like nothing else and you burn calories round the clock (aerobic exercise doesnt do that at all). Naturally a weights workout and a cardio is even better...
As far as eating is concerned, you can make changes on many different levels. Try starting slow, perhaps by regulating your intake of fat (particularly saturated), and also keep your calories below a certain threshold. Make small changes and stick to them. A diet is a temporary solution, what you want is to start making gradual changes in your life style to accomodate proper nutrition (thats permanent).
In the end, if you arent actively gaining weight, even small changes will make you start to lose it. Find the balance that suits you best, by increasing activity level and regulating what you eat.
Once again, the best thing you can do to start off with is to join a gym. Good luck. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]

Eat them fairly slowly and you'll gain less from them.
Energy in, energy out. That's what the non dieting doctors believe in. You need to burn the calories you gain.
Walking is awesome.
So is biking. It's the only thing you can do to lose weight and be sitting on your arse at the same time! [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]
kristina24 answered Sunday January 29 2006, 12:28 am: well you could always pick up a sport or join a local gym. But if you don't want to do that make an effort to do a certain amount of situps ever night. If you watch tv at night during the commercials do as many as you can. I would also suggest eating heathly too. [ kristina24's advice column | Ask kristina24 A Question ]
