I am going to lose 30 pounds - what type of plan should I start?

Answer 1

The shorter amount of time it takes to lose the weight, the harder it will be. so try working long term and it wont change you life style a whole lot (cept you will feel way better)

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.

Answer 2

To start, drink lots of water, lots, like a gallon a day and make sure your dinner is no later than seven pm. You also want to cut down on your simple sugars in stuff like cakes, ice cream, white bread, cookies and others. Start this way and in a week, you will start to see the difference.

Lowfat meats such as chicken breats , tuna , salmon, & bake foods without oil or very little oil, cut down to 15 to 20 fat grams per day & very low on saturated fats & no salty foods salt retains alot of unwanted water weight.
