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.

Go on a low carb diet. I am a 51 year old man eating big meals and not feeling hungry and losing weight at a really good clip. Look at the Atkins diet for young people and follow it. Although I myself am on a more stringent diet than an Atkins, I am way way older so as a younger person do it right. Essentially say night night to bread and hello to eggs and bacon and leafy vegetables.

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 :)

Start running at least 3 times a week, gradually increasing your mileage. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, especially vegetables, and dont' eat junk food. Also, for meat, eat lean meats such as boneless skinless chicken breasts and turkey.

Think about this simple formula:
Your body fat is calories your body uses for fuel.
You take in and store calories (as body FAT) by eating, drinking, etc. high caloric or fatty foods.
Your body NEEDS calories to burn for energy or fuel.
WHEN you exercise, diet, etc. you burn or use these stored up calories unless you feed your body more calories than it needs which then are turned into more body fat.
IF you burn off MORE calories than you consume, your body then
will resort to going to the FAT CELLS your body has stored, and use these calories...thus you will lose weight.
So, for example, if you require 2500 calories per day to maintain your weight.
and, if you exercise and burn off 1000 calories (FAT).
but, only consume 500 calories...YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT because your body will "take" the calories it needs from your fat cells.
( a Diet Coke with a large Pizza will NOT work)
So, simply put...you need to burn off more calories than you consume. GOOD LUCK!!
