hi i am trying to lose weight, i started my diet about a week ago, and have seen results, but i am very unsure if i am dieting correctly, for the past week i have ate yogurt for breakfast everyday, something with carbs and a little bit of fat and protein for lunch such as pizza or a tuna sandwich, and for dinner i have been eating a salad with no chicken and little to no dressing. By the way i also eat nothing in between my meals, besides water. I also do cardio 5 out of 7 days. i need to know if its healthier to eat carbs for lunch, dinner or breakfast, i have lost some weight since last week but need to maximize my results and every person i have asked gives me another answer. please help thank you

The weight you have lost in that week is merely water, I hate to dissapoint you on that, but here are a few tips.
First thing- don't change how much you eat (unless it is WAY WAY to much), start out by changing what you are eating. If it comes in a diet option, try it. If you are drinking 1% milk, try skim (or the next percentage down), avoid juice (liquid calories are way to easy to consume and hard to get rid of).
Second thing- Watch out for when you are eating these things, often times it is better to have smaller meals and snack throughout the day.
Third thing- NEVER EAT FAST FOOD. It is essentially a slow acting poison on your body and can lead to more health problems than you can think of.
Fourth thing- if you don't exercise, start out going for walks in the park or somehting, then bring it up to a light jog (once you are comfortable), then slowley bring up the intensity.
Fifth thing- Evaluate everything you put in your mouth, (i.e. avoiding higher fat meats like ribs, pork.. try fish instead or dear or chicken... then general meat rule is that the fewer legs it had as an animal, the better it is for you). Also, think about what goes into you ask yourself, "Should I be eating this?"
Sixth thing- You don't have to be doing all this 100% of the time, treat yourself, but recognize your priorities when it comes to it and don't let "treating yourself" get out of hand.

Hello! Sounds to me like you aren't quiet eating enough. I'd add a piece of fruit or a piece of whole wheat toast or some oatmeal to your breakfast. Just yogurt isn't enough to get you going. Make sure you do have 1-2 small (100 calories or so) snacks during the day.... handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, anything healthy. Also, be sure you don't eat the very same meals day after day. It gets boring and harder for you to stay on track! Are you doing cardio at a gym? As to see if they have a nutritionist there and run your diet by them if you can! Good luck with your diet!

I would stick with the Zone Diet. The Zone Diet has you eating protein in every single meal which will build up your muscles just as long as you exercise routinely. The benefits of drinking a lot of water is that it flushes out your system and it gets rid of the water weight your body is holding on to.

Exercise everyday like jogging around the block
Skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
Dont eat until you're full
Eat fruits at night if your hungry.
Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.

With your salad you should have some grilled chicken or something like that. Protein'll fill you up without making you gain weight, plus it's healthy for losing weight.

fast food is salty food if you cut back on the salt in a few weeks youll be able to better taste the natural salts in food and may not crave the junk as much as you used to
