Answer 2

Diet foods are not necessary even if you have a lot of weight to lose. The important thing is to eat healthful foods and increase the low calorie foods while decreasing the calorie dense foods. Limit but do not exclude fats, keep carbs to a minimum, eat small portions of lean meat, and fill up on fresh vegetables and salads but go very easy on salad dressings. Make sugar the enemy unless it's the natural sugar in fresh fruits.

Answer 3

No! You dont need a diet at all. All you have to do is eat smart. Eat when you are hungry - dont eat when you aren't hungry (unless its meal time, never skip a meal, especially breakfast). Eat until you are satisfied, not a bite more. Eat well-balanced meals, you dont have to cut out all junk foods, but remember that they usually have more calories - count calories and make sure you aren't eating more than you burn. Dont forget to drink water, and get some exercise - even if its a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood.

Here is a website to tell you how many calories you burn in a day. You can wonder the site for other info as well.

Answer 4

Stay away from highly processed and convenience foods. They are often high in salt, fat, and sugar. Bake, broil or steam lean meats, fish and poultry. Take the skin off your chicken. Whole grains have fiber that help you feel full and help regulate insulin production. Try to eat three well balanced meals, plus two to three healthy snacks a day. Watch your portion sizes. Drink plenty of water. Most important, If you take in more calories than you burn, no matter how healthy the food, you will gain weight. Good Luck.
