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. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 calories.
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

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 & 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 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 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.

Bear in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. So even though your weight went up... do you feel or look slimmer? You can tell by the way your clothes are fitting you and by taking measurements of your waiste, thighs, etc.

If you are truly gaining weight, but still hitting the gym at least 3 times per week .... I would talk to a trainer at the gym and make sure you are using the machines correctly and I would also start making adjustments in your diet. Cutting out sweets that contain high fructose corn syrup, minimalizing your meat intake (smaller proportions and less often), cut out white breads, etc.

Weight fluctuations are natural.

But you should reconsider what you eat. Don't diet, but make changes in the way you eat forever. Read the South Beach Diet book.

Lower carb foods make sense, as the book says. Reduce the amount of breads, potatoes and starches that you each. This does not mean EAT MORE meat, but try more vegetables.

Try an eating plan.

Increase foods with fiber, take in more veggies and fruit, slow down with the red meat, for snacks have unsalted peanuts, and pick up the exercising by 120 minutes a week.

At least that's what worked for me.

if you weren't working out before, you may be turning some fat into muscle, which is more dense and weighs more than fat. go by how your clothes fit and use a mirror for a while instead of a scale. or have a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and a sensible dinner.
