Finding a great diet without starving!

Aerobics works wonders if you are ready to sweat. Without exercising, you need to foremost control your diet. Ofcourse that does not mean that you cannot have french fries! Yes but you cannot have it everyday. Instead of eating stomach filling portions in one go, try eating smaller portions at intervals. Eat more of proteins than carbs. Make small changes to your daily routine like taking stairs instead of elevators, walking rather than opting a vehicle, doing the house chores by yourself etc Drink a glass of warm water with 1 lemon and 1 tspn honey added to it every morning empty stomach. Avoid sweetened drinks.

Dear Friend, According to recent surveys done, over 66 percent of Americans age 20 and over are overweight by at least 20 pounds. Obesity is at an all time high as America becomes the fattest nation on the face of the earth! Most of us could stand to lose a few pounds, or at the very least start down the road to a healthier lifestyle. We have become a nation dependent on fast food chains and quick-fix pre-packaged foods in order to accommodate our busy lifestyles. If you’ve found yourself with a couple of spare tires around your mid-section, you probably know you should go on a diet But you dread doing that because you don’t want to have those hunger pangs that you think inevitably come with diets and weight loss.

you have to eat... i tried the totally no carb diet.. at first it was going smoothly but when i reached about 3 months, I did lose a lot of weight but i collapsed... haha... ^_^ i guess exercise would still be the best intervention plus eating in moderation^_^ g.luck!

I don't have any kids and I am only 21 years old, and yet I feel like I am as big as a blimp. I don't eat a lot but I think it is in the genes, I hate it really. No matter what diet I do, it doesn't work.

It would be easier you know if you are not so conscious whether you are loosing weight effectively or not for it will just make u impatient. Just eat small portions whenever u feel hungry.Don't starve yourself ause it will affect your metabolism and you will never lose weight that way. Stay away from fatty foods and sugar and i give you my one secret when i am about to eat a very sumptous meal...I drink a glass of water before i start to eat. (^_^)

hi shelled, i'm not sure if this is one piece of advice that would suit your needs. i've recently been grounded from lots of physical activities like jogging, running, playing football and the like ever since my knees hurt from a worn-out cartilage. the thing i notice about me now is how easy i can put on weight. i used to eat anything and eat a lot without any worry of getting fat. now, i drink two cups of plain water before my meal. my portion is very small and sometimes before i can finish it up i'm already full. although i keep coming back for more food because i tend to get hungry i keep drinking before food and my portions remain small every time. i try as much as possible to eat before dusk and bedtime. i don't want the energy converted from these food to turn into fat. in my limited view, as much as i look into when and how i eat i put equal emphasis into what i eat as well. chickens are normally cooked without the skin. i use less oil. sometimes i boil or roast instead of frying. i try to eat lots of grains and a colorful diet of vegetables. as much as i wish myself luck i wish you luck in you endeavor too.

I am the type of person that I swear if I was standing on a scale and food passed before me, I don't even need to eat it I would probably put on weight. Joking aside, I have always had a weight problem, and have at times been more or less successful removing it, the problem is keeping it off. What worked for me is the motto 'Eat a little less, do a little more' (heard it on a show where they talked about dieting don't remember the name). I, like most people, wanted to loose weight quickly though I never went on fad diets I would try doing a lot of things at once, this never worked. This year I have already lost 5 kg since the beginning of the year, without starving or hurting myself. Here's what works for me, but each person has to find something that works for them. When I wake up I have a light breakfast consisting of a cereal, yoghurt or bread(preferable with unrefined flour like rye, whole wheat, etc.), then at about mid morning have some fruit or a snack, then have lunch a mid afternoon snack and finally supper, the thing is to always eat just a little less then what makes me full. This may seem counter to most fast diets, but I have noticed that if I skip meals I will eat double when I finally do eat which is counter-productive. After doing this for a while reducing a little at a time it doesn't feel that bad. The thing is I may loose more weight if I was really strict, but if I feel like chocolate I'll eat some but a small portion. Since my body always feels comfortable and not hungry I don't get as peckish so I don't eat as many sweets. Then with exercise, I start slow, starting with just enough to get a little movement and gradually increase. I start small, a kilometre or two on the exercise bicycle just enough to feel but not enough to hurt do that a day or two until my body adjusts and and then slowly add another kilometre every week, the same applies with my sit ups/crunches starting small then adding 5 or 10 each day depending on how I feel. This slow process allows the body to adjust and reduces injuries which means stopping and thats all the hard work out the window. I hope you find something that works for you and good luck.

1. eat what you want. but follow recommended servings. to learn this either educate yourself or look at the label. not eating what one wants would causes one to overload on foods, even healthy foods, that the body doesn't want and this would still be additional calories. the body tells you what it wants and needs. malnutrition? that's what multi-vitamins are for. they're complete and calorie free. don't follow advice of people who would make a lot of money by giving you pep talks. 2. a simple way of knowing when one is full already is to try to imagine your stomach as your closed fist. that's the size of a particular person's stomach. if you're eating in excess of the size of that closed fist you're eating for your waistline already. 3. drink water. i do this every 2 hours of my waking time till i reach my 8th glass. after meals. and after every liquid snack. beware of real fruit juices for they can have as many as 5 times the calories of sweetened juices. it's the calories that make you fat so beware of pep talks again. real fruit juices would be great for people who are not counting calories. but if this drinking of water after every fruit juice would occur like twice a day to help make up for the 8 glasses i suggest you drink half glass of the juice first and reserve the next one later. you only need a certain taste to wash off with water in your mouth. alternate this with half a glass of milk. whatever kind of milk that you like. milk has nutrients that make losing weight a blast. like it has lecithin and other things in it that makes the fat melt. 4. do everything that you can do ensure that you mover your bowels daily.

One of the best ways to go on a great diet without starving is just to eat everything in moderation. dont go with diet pills, they should really only be used with doctors order and even then they can have some dodgy side effects. Just take a look at what your eating and work which foods you need to cut down. I dont believe in stopping eating a certain type of food, even chocolate, I dont eat much chocolate but if I ever try to stop eating it then I crave it straight away! Just eat more good foods, make sure your getting plenty of fruit and veg, and eat the rest in moderation, dont try to completely stop it, just cut some of it down a bit. Have lots of fruit in the house to snack on, make sure you always eat breakfast and drink plenty of water. Take it easy with the exercise, if you just start exercising like mad without working up to it then no wonder you muscles feel like the seize up. And remember, you have 3 kids, you cant go crazy with diets as you need your energy, you probably do more exercise in the day than most people with 3 kids to keep you active!

I find weight watchers works very well... It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle. It's easier to stick to than any other diet for me. That coupled with exercise should get you started. I joined weight watchers when my son was 3 months old. It's helped me get down to 5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. You can afford to mess up once in a while too. I have never gone hungry with weight watchers.

Exercise is going to hurt at first, until your body gets used to it. The whole no pain, no gain principle really applies here. But once you get your body used to moving, it will become habit and natural. Maybe start with a walk around the block, and build up from there. Now that's it's nicer out, you could get outside and play with your kids some. Exercise doesn't have to be boring- kicking the ball around with a kid or going out dancing with friends count too. A good goal is to aim to sweat everyday. And to aim to do something active for 30-60 minutes a day. That seems like a lot, but you can break it down, and go for a few 10 minute walks around. It's not that hard to fit exercise in, if you make it a priority. (And once you start to see/feel the benefits, it's easier to make it a priority.) Do you have any neighbours or friends who live close by who could be a good work out buddy. Friends always make it easier... you can go for an evening walk and catch up on your gossip. Good luck!
