Im a little overweight myself and I have searched the internet for every "lose weight quick" product, but after spending TONS of money and wasting too much of my time, this is what I learned.
The only true way to lose weight, is diet and excercise.
Problem is, I am so busy that I hardly have time to work out! So I made sure I started buying nothing but healthy food.
(If you don't buy junk food, you won't eat junk food.)
I cut soda completely out, which is one of the fastest ways to lose weight.
Eating healthy takes a strong mind and for years I just couldn't stick to it. Then someone close to me got very sick and had a stroke, and they weren't old either. This scared me and gave me the motivation I needed to stick to it this time.
Most importantly, NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST. Eating breakfast is actually what starts your metabolism for the day, so if you don't eat until 12 noon, then your metabolism doesn't start working until 12 noon!
After every meal, your metabo works really hard for about 2 hours...then it starts to die down again. The best way to keep it going is to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Make sure its all healthy, eat a small portion about every 3 hours. Apple slices with peanut butter, a handful of nuts, yogurt, any fruit or fresh veggies like carrots are good. ... and maybe a fish fillet or grilled chiken and rice for dinner. There are tons of healthy recipes online to try!
In order to stick to it and be successful, you have to be borderline obsessive about and have others help you too.
You will have your weak moments and if you reach for a cookie, have someone stop you. Their support will make things easier.
Hope this helps! =]
