My theory: everything in moderation.
Don"t deny yourself. People who obsess about what they eat generally give up quickly. If you really want ice cream, have ice cream. Not "once a week". Just when you REALLY want it. But before you choose a high-calorie, low-nutrition food, think about it.
1. You should be eating six small meals a day - not three large ones. Even if you arn't really hungry, sit down and eat a small meal. Eat at 8, 10, 12, 3, 6 and 8. And if you want to snack between, and don't think you can wait, go ahead. And I fully endorse a bed-time snack.
2. When you eat, eat foods that will keep you full. ie: whole grains.
3. If you want that snack in-between, but arn't sure you need it, drink an 8 oz glass of water or juice or tea and wait 15 min. If you still want a snack, have one. Often, you'll find that your body was saying "drink" and you heard "eat".
4. Consider a healthier alternative. That's healthier - not low-fat. If you want strawberry ice cream, no amount of non-fat strawberry yogurt is going to help. But a rich, creamy Dannon Fruit-on-the-Bottom might just satisfy that craving. (or two- those cups are small) And since it provides the nutrients your body wants, it just may keep you from craving more, especially if you add some whole grain cereal on the top, or pair it with some whole-wheat toast or a granola bar.

I've tried so many diets, I have gained about 30 pounds since last year. I remember the only thing that really worked was going to the gym about 3/4 times a week and not drink and not over eat didnt matter of what I ate but as Long as I worked out and dance my butt off too when I went out.

Sorry the only real way to lose weight the healthy way is diet and exercise. Exercise will help prevent heart disease and a good diet is good overall for your entire body. Both diet and exercise will give you a good complexion and help fight of diseases. Please dont take any pills. You should also try to eat five small meals a day. A good website to visit is Self.com they have a lot of good information on that site.

Toot--Did you have rapid weight gain in your mid to late teens? Thyroid problems occur when youth grow quickly--combined with stress. Consult your local physician for blood panels. Eat simply. Whole foods, not processed. Check the ingredient labels on the back of your food containers. If you can't read it, don't eat it! Be easy on yourself--you can do it. This helped me change things around--We eat to live, not live to eat. Good luck.
