I thought yogurt was good...I've been eating the fatfree kind regularly. I was just informed it has high fructose syrup in it. That even sounds gross. Can someone give me a sample diet plan for weight loss? I am desperate. I run regularly and walk everyday. I do lunges, squats & wall sits every other day. Chocolate is my weakness. Nothing ever works for me!

Corn syrup is in about 70% of what the average american eats. Bascially it's overloaded sugar. Don't worry. Unless you are worried about carbs. The calcium and the benifits of yogurt are worth it. Yogurt is actually living bacteria that helps kill the bad bacteria and helps you loose weight. KEEP EATING YOGURT and don't worry.

Yoghurt is a very good recovery snack no matter what kind you eat. It has three things you need to perform (physically), carbs, protien and liquid. Eat it abou 15 minutes after you work out. As for long term health/fitness, try this:
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.
and conquering chocolate may take some will power, if you use change to buy it, then hide your change.
