I have lost around 60 lbs in 6 months and I will tell you what not to eat. The first myth we have been told is that fat is bad. Sugar and carbohydrate are the big nasties. In fact, reduced fat food that has had some of the fat removed is actually more fattening than the regular food because the removed fat in most cases has been replaced with carbs! This is the main reason why you must absolutely stay away from ALL processed food with no exception. Eat fresh and natural. You must have 3 meals a day and get into a routine so your body knows when to expect food. Your body is capable of doing exquisite things to avoid weight loss if it thinks it’s going to get starved, so you must feed it and regularly.
The other thing you must do is keep your insulin as low as possible by getting sugar and carbs in your diet as close to zero as you can and not having ANYTHING between meals. Also having at least 5 hours between one meal and another. The last meal of the day must be no later than 9pm. Insulin is a hormone that will absolutely block fat and protein burning in your body and force it to burn sugar, that's how it works. You will NOT lose weight with your blood stream flooded with insulin, even with exercse, it's impossible.
You must have at least 8 glasses of water a day, in order for your liver and kidneys to excrete the fat from your body this is crucial.
Now, what you must stay away from and I mean, non at all. Bread, pasta, rice, pastry, sugar, potato, onion, parsnip, sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot, carrots, peas, spreads like butter and margarine and be very careful of sauces and condiments. Fruit and milk should be taken very, very sparingly because they are fattening. Fruit is full of sugar too, only a very small amount. Avoid all processed food including diet soda it will stimulate insulin. 3 cups of black tea or coffee WITH meals a day is OK.
OK, if you are still with me, what can you eat? In a nutshell you replace the carbs you have removed with protein and green leafy vegetables. Do not mix protein only 1 per meal. This is what you can eat. Lean meat, poultry, fish, cheese, yoghurt and eggs are your permitted proteins. Cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts, broccoli, capsicum, mushroom, celery, zucchini and a small amount of tomato. You can have unlimited amounts of lettuce and cucumber but ONLY at meal times. You can use balsamic vinegar as a dressing; mustard is ok too but only made from the powder. Shop bought is full of sugar! Curry powder in cooking can be used as well. One tablespoon of olive oil is ok per day, in cooking and as a dressing.
I will GUARANTEE if you stick to this you will loose heaps of weight, fast. I know it's not easy and you need the support of your family too.
Just another couple of things I forgot. NO breakfast cereal and avoid really heavy exercise you will just burn glycogen in your muscles, not fat and it will just make you sore and tired. You need prolonged gentle exercise to burn fat like walking. You don't need to exercise at all on this diet as long as you're moving about. Last but not least read food labels and look at the ingredients. Avoid foods like the plague with more than 5 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams.
Good Luck. Jules, lecturer. Australia.

don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat...I am 5'9 and usually am about that weight, I fit into a size 9 or 10 women's...Go by your size chart...Or go buy one of those fat pincher thingies from your local GNC.
As far as loosing fast the best thing to do is drink lots of water, and eat foods that help you shed water weight and salt which holds fat in your tissue...Foods like water melon, and lettuce. If you eat anything salty (marketed as sodium on labels) or high in bad carbs make sure to counter act it with lots of fresh water.
Then add exercise to the daily routine to help your body shed the build up in your system.

It can't be done too quickly or it will creep back.
It's a healthy mix of eating smaller, healthier portions, more cardiovascular exercise like stationary bike and some weight lifting. The weight lifting is key because it builds muscle and muscle helps burn fat and calories faster!!!

As per your previous question, no. You can't lose weight 'fast'. You have to increase your exercise and decrease your intake of fatty/sweet foods. It takes months.

lower your calorie intake and up you expended calories. A good way to lose the weight is to swim.

Lose the negative body image. I say that would lose you about 20lbs of stressing.
