If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 calories women & 1500 men
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices
All food choices need to be low fat
Don't make food a big deal and don't socialise using food

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna/lean meat & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g-150g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 women & 1800 men and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Well, you have to have a high protein diet and snack on fruits and vegies, stick to low on carbs and drink Vitamin Water and other nutritious drinks for your body. Kashi cereal and granola bars and waffles and many more has lots of protein and tastes delicious, it is whole grain stuff, it gives you a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner, and since it is whole grain it expands in your stomach and you get stuffed from a small bowl of cereal! You can get Kashi products at Target and/or walmart and health stores. For the work out, start out with a daily jog, make it at least around the block then gradually add more distance on each day. You know when your jogging too fast if you cant keep a conversation, that is why I like to jog with a friend or two, jogging is great to get your heart rate up. But if your not the running or jogging type, or your not working on your legs, it all depends if you want to lose weight at your stomach, get a yoga ball and read the manual, it tells you some great exersizes and exersizes for your legs. Get into yoga. Its great. It calms the body meanwhile gives you a great feeling of confidence that you will tackle those pounds! There and many more resources and things like Weight Watchers and Curves, I hope this helps you because it is a great exersize and diet. The best of luck to you!

Cardio combined with strength training. Women lose inches when they lift weights. Its called toning. Just don't lift like man. Keep to small weights with many reps.

And of course a good diet.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Get started today!

Eat fewer calories than you burn to lose weight

keeping good posture will not only strengthen your core but will also add a small extra calorie burn because you re working slightly harder to maintain the position
