It is hard to stop eating the wrong types of food and do a little excersise, but for your sake you must try to do some exercise, how about a 30 min walk each day. Stop eating after 7pm, try eating more fruit at night instead of fatty foods.

1. About 5 minutes before lunch or dinner, drink a
glass of water or use a juicer to juice organic
veggies or fruit. Allowing you to fill your
stomach up so you don’t eat as much food.

2. When choosing breads, biscuits and muffins go with
organic whole grains such as spelt, buckwheat,
barley and so on. Use organic natural spreads,
free of chemicals and additives.

3. Replace soft drinks and fruit juice with water.

4. ALWAYS eat breakfast. A meat source such as steak,
chicken, fish, or eggs with some fruit or some
steal cut oatmeal will jump start your metabolism.
Eating breakfast will stabilize your blood sugar
and prevent overeating the wrong foods later.

5. Between meals, chewing gum may satisfy your sweet
tooth at less than 10 calories. Be mindful of
dental health and don’t overdo it! Chew organic
natural gums free of aspartame and other harmful
chemicals.

6. When the need to really treat one’s self arises,
opt for organic ice cream, cookies, or something
sweet like a protein shake with some fresh or
frozen fruit. However, just enough to satisfy the
urge since they contain sugar! Make it natural
sugar.

7. Consider consuming coconut oil for breakfast or
lunch to help stabilize your blood sugar and keep
the fat off.

8. Avoid dairy and cheese to help keep the fat off.

9. Replace your snack foods with organic snacks, like
raw almonds, cashews and pumpkin seeds, though be
careful because calories can add up fast.

10. Replace milk with raw milk or at least organic
milk which will rid your body of unhealthy
hormones. Or avoid milk all together, you can get
plenty of calcium from leafy greens.

11. Don’t alter your food. Consume your food as
mother nature intended you to, naturally. If they
have to process the food, package it or change it
from how you would eat it in nature, avoid it.

12. Remember Fruit should be your favorite dessert.
Make fruit something you crave and if necessary
add small amounts of organic brownies, cake, or
pie.

13. Remember to follow your body’s bio-chemistry;
what you are made to eat and what allows you to
function the best and read about your body’s
metabolic typing.

14. When the urge for pizza arises, make it. Buy
organic pizza dough and add fresh organic
toppings, raw cheese, and enjoy.

15. Watch out for the salad bar, just because it is a
salad doesn’t necessarily mean you can eat as
much as you want. Use vinegar and oil for
dressing. It is a better choice than creamy
Italian, Ranch or house dressings. Be careful
with shredded cheese, potato salad, and sour
cream as well.

16. Avoid all fried foods. And if you feel the need
to eat fried food use coconut oil so it can
hold up to the high temperature of frying as
opposed to vegetable oils that go rancid and can
lead to health problems and gaining weight.

17. Buy French fries that can be baked instead of
fried. Still blot well to remove excess grease!
Or even better buy sweet potatoes and make them
into French fries.

18. Try to avoid processed foods. Chemicals,
additives and colors are not healthy, and these
food are often high in calories. Eating an apple
will fill your stomach and be better in the long
run. Don’t forget, at least one fruit or
vegetable with every meal, preferably organic.

19. Occasional indulgences are allowable, but don’t
feel a diet has been ruined and give up because
you “cheated.” Just be mindful during the
upcoming days and remember that your body is
constantly burning calories and fuel.

20. Move as much and whenever possible, even if it’s
using the stairs instead of the elevator, or
walking instead of driving to meet the kids.
Revisit a sport or activity once loved, or
attempt an entirely new physical activity. Check
the library for free workout videos, hire a
personal trainer or find a television exercise
show, for private exercise. Play with the kids.
Do what you enjoy!

Once pounds start coming off, and clothes start feeling big, these minor changes will no longer seem difficult. They will become the path to a healthier new life, new body and most importantly a new you!

I work in an office setting and lost a few pounds recently. It's hard to lose weight when you are sitting down but here is the ultimate way to lose weight.

Try doing the south beach diet and remain on level one. With this diet you can eat 5 times a day. If you want a quick remedy, eat liquid eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, some vegetables around 10:30am, a nice salad for lunch, a non-fattening snack around 3:30pm, and then chicken breast, fish, or steak for dinner.

I did this and shed 30lbs. and have been able to maintain it for a long time now.

You will need to learn portion control which will be hard at first. Cut back on the fats and sweets also and when you feel the need for a snack have something healthy at your work desk to munch on. Carrot sticks, celery, protein bars etc. Fresh fruit like apples would also be a good snack.
If you are able you will also have to work some kind of exercie into your routine. Walking is a good exercise to start with.
As I said it will be hard at first I know I use to weigh over 300 pounds but after 1 and 1/2 years of cutting back and light exercise I have lost more than 150 pounds.
Good luck I'm rooting for you.

At 49 years doing a sedentary job, you have to take your obesity problem very seriously.

The most serious potential problem is the risk of a heart attack. Get your height, weight, hip:waist ratio, BP, ECG, blood sugar, lipid profile etc checked after consulting a good physician, especilly if you have strong family history of heart disease, high BP and diabetes.

If everything is fine, heave a sigh of relief and get on to a weight reduction programme. Reduce the amount of food, stop all calorie-rich food items. Ideal is to go vegetarian and a strict no to fried, fatty, sugary food. Take plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits 5 to 6 times day and restrict rice, roti, oily curries etc. Increase your energy output by regular exercise. Walk briskly 4 km daily (after checking with your doctor), walk to office, use stairs. Relax, lead an active life, be courteous and helpful.

If there is any underlying medical problem get it checked and managed by a competent physician.

The remedy is a combination of controlling food portions, eating nutritious food (and not eating junk food), exericise, and getting enough sleep.

Try to eat a good breakfast, and then have snacks or small meals for the rest of the day, eating less towards bedtime. Also, get exercise every day, especially cardio.

Cook your own food instead of getting fast food or eating chips/cookies, etc. and read the labels to avoid excess calories, carbs & fat.

overweight is caused by taking in more calories than the body uses, so you might try eating foods with less calories like fresh fruits and vegetables . Also, since you work in an office, you are not getting the exercise you need, the problem is fitting the exercise in our daily lives. Try getting an exercise bike and putting it in front of the tv so you can exercise while watching your favorite programs. And please don't drink soft drinks,they are loaded with calories and have questionable ingredients. Try fresh juices or just plain water instead

Diet and exercise. It is a lifestyle change. Sorry no quick fix. Pills only destroy your health and most don't work. You can have a gastric bypass if you are severely obese but it doesn't always work and it is a risky major surgery. Even with surgery you have to change your eating habits and exercise regularly. Good luck.
