A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

The only foods we humans were meant to eat are raw, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Do a search on Raw Foods or Live Food Nutrition and you will find tons of information and testimonials.

Here is a five minute documentary about a group of people with diabetes that changed their diet for 30 days and are NO longer diabetic. They're also making a longer documentary with Woody Harrelson, which should be out very soon. The good news is that this type of diet prevents and reverses almost every disease or so-called dis-ease. So watch this video and tell everyone you know about it, so we can put an end to all of this needless suffering!!!

Hey, I've never been really overweight so I'm no diet guru, but I did have to loose some belly fat and gain some more muscle at some point. I bought this book 'the abs diet', of which you might have heard allready, and though it might not seem the thing for you (not only for men aiming for flat belly and abs), it definitely contains food guidelines that will put you on the right track. To make things short; the 'magic trick' of the abs diet was Whey Proteine Powder. I mixed it in a milkshake, made me one every day and It really did the trick for me. This does not mean you can drink milkshakes all day and lie down waiting for the fat to disappear! You need to combine proteine with healthy food habits and training.
Proteine is hard to digest, which is good (you burn calories by keeping your digestion at work), and builds muscle if you do a bit of excercise with it since muscle mass consumes a whole lot of calories (you don't need body builder proportions for that).
Thats what I learned from the book, and it worked for me.
And again, my experience is limited since I've never been overweight, but if I was, I'd definitely go for the proteine diet! hope this helps and goodluck!

I lost 60 pounds in 3 months by exercising 1.5 hours a day, eating tuna fish straight out of the can with crackers and taking the supplement Chitosan.

There is no greater secret to dieting than being consistent. No diet in the world will work if you only stick to it 4 days a week.

Eat under 1700 calories a day, and excerise 3-5 times a week for at least 45 minutes...
There is not trick or secret to dieting and losing weight

Use a vegetable bean dip such as hummus instead of ranch dressing or even a fatty cream-based dip.
