Answer 1

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 :)

Answer 2

1. I am not currently on any set diet, but I try not too eat too much junk food. I'm moderately health conscious, and I take lots of vitamins in the morning (iron caps, zinc, calcium, Vitamin E, Lecithin).
2. My diet is...not eating EVERYTHING in site! Just a LOT! Lol, I have a very high metabolism. I'm not bragging when I say that I am skinny even though I eat ALOT! Alot of healthy food, that is.
3. I eat cereal or toast in the morning (and then my vitamins with water or juice), and I don't take much of a lunch break, though since I travel between two different jobs through the same employer, I eat whatever snacky foods I bring along (like trail mix, banana, corn chips, whatever was at home!). For supper I eat whatever my mom whipped up! But not for long, I'm getting married next August! Yipee! Then I will be in charge of dinner!
4. I would eat a tuna burger with macaroni and cheese right now. That's only my momentary craving. It changes all the time!

Sorry this is so lengthy, but this was fun! Thanks for letting me share!

Answer 3

1) Not on a diet, but health and environmentally conscious
2) I only eat meat once or twice a week. I eats tons of fruits and vegetables and lots of cheese. I only eat grains with extremely high fiber content.
3) A typical day: Eggs, whole wheat toast, fruit or a berry bran muffin >> Peanut butter & Jelly on Whole Wheat and some fruit or salad >> Either a vegetable stirfry, pasta with veggies, or sometimes a meat dish >> Ice cream, or fruit, or popcorn(air popped with a little real butter, no fake stuff)
4) I am craving a kosher hotdog right now, but I just ate dinner, so I'm full anyway.

Answer 4
