I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

If you have no willpower (or keep telling yourself you have no willpower), then it's going to be very difficult to stick to any diet programme. I think we all know the steps we need to take to lose weight - it's just putting them into practice that's the hard part! At the end of the day though, you will only lose weight if you really want to and are committed to succeeding. Whatever diet plan you choose to follow, you need to keep reminding yourself why you are doing this - for your wedding day. Try picturing yourself in a wedding dress a couple of sizes smaller than you wear now - this should provide some motivation (I don't know how much weight you have to lose of course). The other piece of advice I would give is to steer clear of faddy diets because chances are they will be so difficult you won't stick to them. Good luck!

Just stick to these 2 simple rules
1. Only eat when you feel hungry
2. Stop eating when you a full/satisfied.

Excercise is helpfull too as it increases the matobolism rate there fore burning the fat quicker, and dont think of exercise as you have to go to the gym etc, try going for a walk in the park 2/3 times a week.
Don't listen to all the cruddy diet advice where they tell you what you should eat and what you cant eat, and how many spoon fulls or grmms you can have etc.. its totally unrealistic and you will only fail as we always crave the things were not allowed.
Trust me it will work, good luck xx

Everyone's different, but personally I find it easier to restrict calories earlier in the day than at night. If I eat a light breakfast and lunch (even SlimFast shakes, for example), and then a heavier dinner I'll find myself feeling more satisfied at the end of the day.

So, basically my tip is to identify at what point in the day you find it hardest to resist the urge to eat, and eat your most satisfying meal at that point, and then restrict calories at other times of the day when your appetite tends to be lower.

Also, try to find satisfying foods that you'll still enjoy that are lower in calories. For instance, if you like big hamburgers, but also enjoy grilled chicken sandwiches, obviously the grilled chicken sandwich is going to save you a lot calories and be better for you than that big half pound burger. And then you can leave off that fatty mayonnaise and perhaps substitue it with something else like mustard, ketchup or some other non-caloric item.

Lastly, one big thing you can do that most don't think of is to take a sugar-free fiber supplement. If you buy sugar-free citrucel, and take a good dose of this ten or fifteen minutes before dinner, this stuff actually expands in the stomach and forms a gel-like mass and so you'll likely feel fuller faster when you start to eat. Plus, the fiber will greatly slow down the rate at which sugar from the food enters the bloodstream, thus lowering the glycemic index of your meal and lowering the insulin response, and research suggests that lowering the glycemic index of meals helps people to lose weight independent of caloric intake. And when your meals are digested more slowly due to the increased fiber intake, you'll actually feel satiated longer in-between meals and may feel the need to snack less.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing toxins from your body. You get toxins from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The toxins get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the toxins. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

Basically to loose weight, without too much exercise, you have to reduce you calorie intake to below you calarie expenditure- in other words burn more than you put in.
So, it's not about eating less, but eating more good foods and smaller sizes more frequently

Stress can make you gain weight.
How to cope?
No more sugar or carbs!
You have to completely cut simple sugars and carbs completely out of your diet.
That means no white bread, soda, white rice, white flour, deep-fried food, potatoes (only sweet potatoes allowed), crisps, chips, cakes, ice-cream, etc., nothing naughty!
That also means no more foods with very high calorie content such as non-skim milk, cream, fatty cheeses (cream/cottage).

Eat more fibrous foods such as whole cereals (wholegrain bread/farmer's bread) and brown/black rice.
Use a sugar substitute such as Saccharine.
No more fancy coffees for you! Have skinny caps, macchiatos and skinny lattes with an arttifical sweetener (these are safe and have 0 cal).
Coffee, tea and green tea are all fantastic as these will naturally boost your metabolism. Boost it further with vitamin
Drink only water at evening meal times and all artifical sweets must not be eaten past 7 pm.
You can eat some chocky first thing in the morning only though.
No more sugary cereals- muesli only or fruit & bran or toast or whatever. You can be less strict with breakfast- bu no more fry-ups unless you are prepared to miss lunch and dinner (it has enough energy to fuel your entire day)
Nuts are also extremely high in energy-so eat a handful as a main serving size.

Your meals should be three fist-sizes of food: one fist protein, one fist veg, the other veg/fibre. So an example would be grilled smallish chicken breast in a red-wine pasta sauce, steamed asparagus, carrots and squash. Easy- and cooked in 30 mins.

Roast, bake, steam or pan-fry your foods only. Nothing fried allowed.

Supplements such as ginseng and guarana (but not too slose to sleep time).
Eat as much fruit and veg as possible and keep red meats to a minimum.
Substitute whatever sweets you may choose to snack on with raisins, dried fruit (unsweetened) or fresh fruit. Your body will soon get used to complex sugars instead of glucose/sucrose and you will feel more rejuvenated and less craving for sweets.
Take multi-vitamins. They'll do more good than harm and you will within a week feel like a new person (trust me I went to uni too).
Keep away from sodas/soft-drink as these are loaded with oxidants and sugars.
If you indulge in alcohol- detox the next day by flushing your body with plenty of water, Berocca and juice (I like apple).

I think you're tired because of dehydration/malnurishment.
Best of luck- been there and done it and I'm lazy. So I'm sure you can do it too as you're young.

My best tip for a bit of new year weight loss would be; Stick at it!

Swap sugary/chocolately snacks for fruit. Eat 3 meals a day, thats breaky, lunch n dinner. first meal should be fairly small such as a bowl of bran based cereal and a piece of fruit. Lunch should be a bit bigger, such as a salad with skinned meat and pine nuts, or a wholemeal / brown meat and salad sarnie, packet of light cripsps, piece of fruit and a small yoghurt. Dinner should be a bit bigger than lunch such as boiled/light fry/ grill or oven baked meat or fish with bolied spuds or rice or pasta and boiled or steamed veg. A mid morning and mid aftrnoon snack of a satsuma for each snack. and pudding after dinner should contain fruit, I like bannana split made with light natural yoghurt and mixed raisins. Walk as uch as you can and keep it up, good luck

Every time you feel like snacking, eat a piece of fruit in stead (chances are you'll end up having no snack at all! lol)
Also, if you feel a bit hungry, have a glass of water and see if the hungry feeling passes - we often confuse thirst with hunger.
