Try eating three healthy and balanced meals a day and if you feel hungry between meals snack on fruit or nuts/seeds. Ensure you include lots of fibre to help with better digestion and avoid too many carbs, they will leave you feeling sluggish. Reward your self sometimes, have a few cheeky jaffa cakes or a few squares of chocolate so you don't feel deprived. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and fizzy drinks as they will leave you feeling bloated. Hot water and a slice of lemon is a good detox for your body and will make you feel a lot healthier and 'restored'.
Eating healthy, smaller portions isn't enough to help you loose weight and tone up it must be accompanied by exercise. Try jogging, cycling, speed walking and swimming for at least 30 minutes, it takes about 20 minutes into your workout for you to start burning off your fat stores and you will continue to keep burning fat and calories hours after you stop exercising.
If its your love handles you are targeting sit ups work a treat! suck in and tense your tummy muscles whilst doing the sit ups. Try 10 sets of 5 reps having a 20 second break in-between and then increase the sets as you can handle more. Also try twisting your shoulders slightly when doing sit ups so your left shoulder would be going towards your right knee then going back down then doing right shoulder towards your left knee and repeat. Another good one is laying on your side straightened legs and raise your leg up as far as possible keeping it straight doing as many as possible then lay on your other side and repeat.
Any questions feel free to ask (: Hope this helps! And good luck! [ sunshine7's advice column | Ask sunshine7 A Question ]

What these two things do is even out your body by transferring the fat elsewhere and turns it into muscle. Jumping rope is fantastic, or even punching a bag like for boxing. If you are looking for something that is more useful and effective, you may want to consider martial arts. They ahve plenty of videos on youtube on different techniques and a website giving a variety of things to do. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). What I do is pick a name, and if the description doesn't make any sense, I go to youtube and see a video of it being done. With the amount of calories you would burn doing martial arts, you won't really need a diet plan. It's important to eat three meals a day because when you skip meals, it causes you to actually gain weight. If you have any more questions just send me an inbox.
