This can include when/what you eat.

Water, however, plenty of really fat people drink lots of water, so how can water help? A nutritionist told me how and when to drink water for weight loss, along with healthier food choices and some exercise. I tried it and have lost 20 pounds (20 more to go). I recently read the same diet advice in one of the weekly women's magazines.
For weight loss: drink 10 oz of water right before a meal--chug it, don't sip--and then sip more during your meal. If you can't down the whole 10 oz at once drink as much as you can. Don't drink water without food unless you're thirsty and always drink water when you eat anything, even a cracker. Weight loss is only achieved when you burn more calories than you take in, but hunger and apetite kill our efforts. Water helps you remain fuller longer and helps eliminate apetite.
It's virtually painless. You will visit the bathroom frequently at first, but your body will adjust. I cannot eat more than 3 or 4 meals per day. 5 or 6 small meals are not satisfying. I've increased my veggies and still have dessert. Eat when you're hungry, not by the clock. I believe this method is not widely published because there's no way to make money from it--it's just water!

I drink a ton of water, and I pretty much cut soda out completely (usually about 1 can/week, sometimes not even that). When I first stopped drinking it, I lost about 10 lbs or so, and it was noticeable in my tummy. I also eat small meals or snacks (fruit, crackers and such) every few hours and drink water before each meal (it really does work). Oh yeah, and don't eat after a certain time. I have dinner before or by 7, then I usually allow myself 1 last small snack about an hour or so later (I stay up late, and it would be too hard to go the rest of the night w/o eating NOTHING).
Good Luck and whatever you do, make sure it's healthy for you

In my opinion it all comes down to what you put in your mouth and how many calories are in it. Sad to say but in order to lose weight you need to reduce your calorie intake. In a perfect world you should eat healthy things instead of sugar, fats etc. but in the end if you choose to eat one meal of ice cream (estimated 300 calories) or a big salad with beans (estimated 150 calories) its all about the calorie intake.
It is said that for every pound you weigh you should eat 7 calories (The Biggest Loser Handbook). As you lose weight, i.e. 2 pounds then you would subtract 14 calories, and so on.
I am trying this method and at the same time trying choose healthy foods. It doesn't hurt that I am a vegan which limits my choices.
Good luck

Drink water before each meal to make you feel fuller. Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. Although they say to divide your weight in half and that is how many ounces of water you should drink each day.
Moderation and portion control are key. If you deny yourself some of your favorites you are more apt to binge.
Start to try some of the fat free versions of your favorite foods and see if you can't lower the fat content in some of your favorite recipes.
Pay close attention to the serving sizes on packages a lot of times we think something is one serving when it is actually 2 if not more.
If you have a habit of mindless snacking there are a lot of great prepackaged 100 calorie snacks out there to help you keep your portions in check.

Avoid all processed foods. That is to say anything that is premade. Cook your own food. Also eat lots of RAW fruits and veggies.
Although you are not looking for exercise advice, I would also add that it is NECESSARY for weight loss. Eating well is not enough on its own. You need to both eat well & exercize.

Weight Loss/ Hoodia sample works for me! It's a good alternative. I suddenly stopped binging for more sweets and carbs. So I guess, that only means it's effective. Check out this site http://www.upkb.com/weightloss.php and know more about the product details.

Drink Water 20 or so minutes before you eat, thirst and hunger give the body the same message. and most the time people are thirsty not hungry. If you are still hungry after that then eat smaller portions. The water will also make you feel fuller so you wont eat as much

I had fruit for breakfast my heaviest starches for lunch for example rice, beans, pasta ect. then for dinner I would eat something light usually broth yogurt and a grill chicken salad with no dressing i felt full the whole time but i did loose plenty of weight
