Losing weight can usually be accomplished by raising your metabolism. Try eating smaller quantities of food more often. It is suggested eating 5 meals a day and drinking a large bottle of water every 2 hours all day long. This should help raise your metabolism.

A proper diet is the best way to lose weight naturally and keep it off. You have to eat a varied adequate and balanced diet. Your body needs all kinds of food to function properly including fat in smaller quantities though. Your body needs the nutrients and vitamins in fruits and vegetables the most, that is what you should eat the most of (at least 5 servings a day). You also need protein, and a little fat. Reduce your intake of sweets, fried food and foods that contain a lot of fat. Don't drink too many alcoholic beverages or soft drinks (they have a lot of calories). Don't go to sleep right after you eat. And finally exercise at least 3 to 4 days a week for about 45 minutes.Good luck. You can also get more information about nutrition from this site:

Sometimes boredom can trigger hunger.
When you’re bored, you set out to do something more productive, like eating,” explains George Rapitis, a high-school nutritionist in Michigan. “You’re trying to heal that emotion. But it’s only a temporary fix and it becomes a habit. You start reaching for food every time you’re bored.”

Of course, that action can lead to weight gain and other health problems. So here we offer some suggestions and alternatives to try next time you encounter the doldrums.

1. Stop making excuses. Once you know you engage in unhealthy eating habits to combat boredom, it’s time to look for other types of contentment.

2. Walk the dog. Don’t have a dog? See point 1. Anything physical (preferably in the fresh outdoors) works.

3. Listen to music. “Something like Beethoven,” encourages Rapitis. “It’s satisfying music with lots of notes and it’s very relaxing.”

4. Be creative. Paint, draw, shape clay, sew some beautiful beads…Art and crafts are very enjoyable, and unbeatable emotional outlets, too.

5. Take a bubble bath. “When people are bored they stagnate, there’s really not a lot of joy in what they do,” says Julia Trick, N.D., nutrition director at The Green House spa in Texas. OK, it’s the second part of her comment that explains why you might take a bath! A bubble bath is fun, not to mention restorative and indulgent. Men, this one’s for you, too!

6. Practice deep breathing. You may need expert guidance on how to perfect the technique, but focused breathing could help dissipate your sense of boredom. Best-selling author Dr. Andrew Weil is a big proponent of the power of breath work.

7. Meditate. The transformative effects of meditation are well documented. Again, you may need to research whether Vipassana, T.M., or another form of meditation is the right one for you.

8. Read. Biographies of inspirational people may help best, advises Trick.

9. Drink herbal tea. People often crave stimulants when they’re bored. Sure, caffeine and sugar give you a little lift, but there are better choices, according to Trick. “Cinnamon tea, particularly, has a very good effect on blood sugar,” she says. “You can make a big thermos of it and drink it all day.” She also suggests licorice tea for adrenal support – but not the candy!

10. Balance your body. Speaking of blood sugar, keeping it steady throughout the day by eating smaller, more frequent meals may prevent the onset of boredom before it begins.

11. Repeat an affirmation. Or an inspiring quote. “Write it out and stick it right there on the fridge,” says Trick.

12. Call a friend. Pick up the phone instead of a bag of nasty chips to encourage you out of your funk.

13. Prepare healthy food. For that matter, get excited about food again, Trick says, because maybe it’s food that’s the root of your boredom. “About 75 percent of our calories come from the same old 10 foods. Challenge yourself when you shop for groceries to pick six foods you haven’t tried before, or that you have to learn how to cook,” she suggests.

14. Do housework. OK, it’s near the bottom of the list because really, not many of us enjoy it. Still, there is the satisfaction of having a clean home, and alternative fulfillments are what you’re seeking.

15. Develop a list. In preparation for the next time boredom strikes, write a list of these and/or your own ideas of things to do. “Print it twice and put one list on your cupboard and one on the refrigerator,” recommends registered dietician Rick Hall. “If you don’t have the list, you probably won’t think of something later when you’re bored!”

1st: if you'r a person who stays up all night you should adjust your self to be a morning person.

2nd: eat a whole grain breakfast and fibres because studys has shawn that the people who get portions of fibres in there breakfast are always thinner than the people who dont (saw it on OPRAH).and for lunch grilled meat ,chicken or fish with salad.

3rd: exercise it will make feel good about yourself (specially cardio).

4th: don't eat in the night except green salad.

Finally drink lots of water (I heard that cold water burns about 300 calories but i'm not sure)

and GOOD LUCK

I heard if you're feeling hungry you should drink a glass of water and it will hold your appetite longer. I've done it alot and it works for me because i get full water and then get rid of it and forget i was even hungry. Dont chew gum when you're hungry either
