Answer 1

for breakfast - good carbs are the best (whole wheat, oatmeal, fruit etc) -they give you energy
for dinner - lean protein - that repairs muscles
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
8 glasses of water a day.
4-6 times a week cardio work out for 30-50min plus light weight training.
no junk food, no sodas, no white flour (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc)

Answer 2

Good question... A lot of it is experimentation, no two bodies are the same, so no one else can say exactly what will work for you.

What I have found most effective is cutting out all simple carbohydrates (sugars, sweets, white breads, pastas). And basing my diet primarily around fresh veggies, good sources of protein and complex carbohydrates (brown rice, wheat breads, wheat pasta, legumes etc.) Exercise is an important part of weight lose to, and you need carbohydrates to fuel your body for this exercise. Protein builds muscle, more muscle = more fat burning, so make sure you not only do cardio but weight training too. And veggies, well they are just good for ya, low in calories and high in nutrients our bodies need to keep healthy.

And don't forget to include some good fats - olive oil, avocado, nuts etc. They are good for your heart and olive oil and avocado does curb the appetite. You shouldn't overdo any type of fat though.

For many people it may be beneficial to reduce their calorie intake by eating less and eating more healthily. It is not necessary to crash diet. This usually ends up with the person concerned either getting weaker or giving up completely in desperation. weight loss - weight gain cycle. Cut down on fatty foods and eat more bread, fruit and vegetables.

Eating 300 to 500 calories less per day, may lead to losing between one and two pounds per week. This is a realistic weight loss. It may seem slow, but would add up to a weight loss of more than three stone in a year.

Having a glass of water instead of juice, eating less lunch than usual and having smaller portions of the food you enjoy are all ways to reduce calorific intake without having to necessarily alter your diet significantly. Avoid a second helping at dinner and snacks between meals, which may have become a habit. . All these things will influence your health in a positive way.
Write down your weight every week

From the day you decide to lose weight, weigh yourself once or twice a week before breakfast. Keep a record of this weight and see the pattern that develops.

Fruit and veg. They are filling yet have few calories. You should eat from each category just vary the amount from each one. Remember portion size plays a big part. 1 portion of cheese is the size of a match box, 1 portion of meat/fish is the size of your fist. Women should eat 1500 calories a day to maintain weight and shouldn't go below 1000 to lose, men should have 2000 calories a day to maintain and no less than 1500 calories to lose weight. You daily activity levels also affect how quickly the weight comes off. Hope it helps :-) Good luck

Studies have shown that reducing calories and burning off more calories than you consume, is the best way to lose weight. Low carb, or high protein diets like Atkins...really are not going to do it. You need to watch your calories. You need to watch out for sugar alcohols in your foods. And, you need to burn burn burn those calories off!!
