Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.
Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.
Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.
Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.
In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.
Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.
Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.
Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.
Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.
Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.
An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.
Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

I have lost 40 lbs. in 3 months and I know this will work. Eat small healthy meals every 2-3 hours, eat your last meal 2-3 hours before you go to sleep. Do not starve yourself or your body will go into survival mode where anything you eat will be turned into FAT. This will help you a lot but if you want more results you can exercise 3-4 days a week, include weight training and especially cardio (walking especially running). If you set your mind to lose the weight you will lose it and when you start seeing how good you look you’ll want to keep going.
Good Luck

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.
First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…
This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.
However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Seven Healthy Ways to Help You Lose Weight
1. I used to eat three large meals a day. That’s how we’re taught, right? I’ve found that eating five or six small meals a day is much healthier and helps burn calories more efficiently. You will discover that you won’t experience hunger pangs because your stomach is never really empty. Also your stomach will shrink because you are not putting as much food in it. You will find yourself eating less while feeling better because your blood sugar stays stable. Just make sure the food you are eating is healthy.
2. Drink water! In addition to drinking water throughout the day, while preparing your food, or about a half hour to 45 minutes before you eat, drink a glass of water. If you don’t like the "taste’ of water dress it up with a little slice of lemon or lime, but drink it! The water will give your stomach a sensation of fullness and will also flush toxins out of your body. Another benefit of drinking water regularly is that it will give you glowing skin and enhancing your overall appearance.
3. Eat slowly and chew your food completely. This one was hard for me. When I was a kid eating quickly meant that I could get back to doing whatever it was I was doing before I had to come in and eat. When I was aboard ship in the Navy I had to eat quickly so that the other people who were waiting to eat could have my seat in the mess decks. It’s commonly known that people who eat slowly usually eat less as well. These people tend to live longer than those who gobble down large quantities of food.
Eating slowly and chewing your food completely does two things for your stomach. The first is that it allows your stomach time to let you know when it is full. This way you don’t get that stuffed feeling that often accompanies wolfing down a meal. The second benefit to your stomach is that the process of chewing your food completely allows your salvia to send signals to your stomach telling it what you ate so it can prepare the right chemicals to digest your food. Both of these processes help you lose weight while eating less.
4. Keep your portion size small. While this may seem to be a no-brainer, many people who are "losing weight" try to fool themselves into believing that a 16 ounce steak won’t hurt anything. Instead of eating such large portions, savor every bite of a smaller 4 or 6 ounce portion while following rules 1 through 3. I think you will be amazed at how satisfying that small portion can be.
5. Put lots of fiber in your diet. The best fiber you can eat to lose weight is insoluble fiber. This is plant fiber that your digestive system cannot process. Fruits and vegetables are full of this type of fiber. This means that you can have a huge plate of veggies for a meal. This type of fiber takes many more calories to burn than other types of foods.
Many health professionals believe that insoluble fiber acts as a cleanser of the digestive tract and helps to remove waste from your body more easily. Eating lots of fruits and veggies is one of the most healthful and least painful ways to lose weight quickly. You can eat them raw or steamed and you can spice them up with a number of seasonings to make them something you actually want to eat.
6. Stay away from fatty meats and fried foods. This means you’ll need to give up fried chicken and fish. You’ll also need to give up whole milk products, potato chips and pork rinds. You need to give up fattier cuts of beef but you don’t have to give up beef as long as it is a lean cut and broiled. You can also eat broiled or baked fish, skinned chicken and lean pork cuts that suit your taste.
7. My last tip is one that I use regularly to stay healthy and fit while keeping the weight off. When used in conjunction of healthy eating it is one of the best ways to lose weight fast. It is simply to exercise daily. I know you’ve heard it before and you may wish it wasn’t true, but it’s essential to your long term health and weight loss regimen. Find an exercise program that suits you and just do it!
