Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Because we use terms like "fall off the wagon," as if it's a done deal.
If you miss a day of exercise or eat a donut, just get back on track. One slip up doesn't mean failure.
Don't try to be perfect by tomorrow, just try to do a little better every day.

Just remember If you know why you lost today you can be a winner tomorrow. Figure out what lead you to cheat. It might be that your restricting yourself a little to much. Its always better to restrict your diet slowly. either way if your consistant most of the time than a little cheat once a blue moon isn't going to kill you. Just hopp yourself back up on the wagon!

Your body gets used to what you eat and drink, and when you stop consuming those things your body misses them. I have been on my healthy diets, that ended up not being all that healthy. Not for me anyway. Yeah, the foods were good for me, but I would get headaches due to lack of caffeine or sugars. So know I just drink lots of tea, and use splenda instead of sugar. I still eat whatever junk food I want, I just eat smaller amounts of it. Once a week, I splurge and eat whatever I want. The rest of the week, I eat in moderation and healthy.

because you are human and slip up here and there or permanently, in the case of many. personally, i think of dark chocolate as a health food.
