Here is a diet tip that has helped others maintain a healthy caloric intake. To fool your mind into thinking that you have eaten enough long before your brain gets the "I'm full" signal from your stomach, try eating your meals on smaller plates. Instead of serving dinner on a large dinner plate, always use a smaller salad plate. Chances are you will be taking in the right number of calories but it will actually look like you are eating a lot of food. You meal may even be hanging over your plate. In order to make this tip work, however, you cannot go back for seconds!

First and Best Way: Excersize!!!!!!!!!!! You need to excersize atleast 1 hour a day and I would say Running/Jogging is the best way to go about it. But personally, I hate that so I do jumping jacks, skip rope, rollerskate, and run up-and-down my stairs. Any type of rigorous, systematic movement can be considered excersize
Second Way: Reduce your intake of highly saturated fats! Stop eating those artery-clogging french fries, chicken wings, etc. It's okay to eat them once a week but don't pig out on them. If you normally order a Large Fries, then order Medium one next time.
Third Way: Reduce your intake of Meat Products. That way, you save animals and help benefit your health. It's true that meat has protein and iron, but you can get iron supplements and protein from vegeterian food. I'm not saying you should have a vegeterian diet from now on (even tho I am a vegeterian); I'm just saying you should reduce your intake of meat. So if you eat meat everyday, cut it down to three days a week.
Fourth Way: Eat your fruits and vegetables. I eat three fruits and three vegetables everyday and I think that has worked for me pretty well (I'm 98 pounds ..n no I'm not anoerexic (did I spell that right?)) Anyways, urge your parents to buy more fruit and veggies and include them in your dinner. Even if you don't want to eat as many fruits and veggies as I do, you should atleast have two fruits and two veggies in your diet EACH day. There is good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, water, and other stuff in there that helps you lose weight.
Fifth Way: Water is a natural appetite suppressant, so developing a good water drinking habit can be a long-term aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Doctor F. Batmanghelidj MD, author of "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" says most times your “hunger” is your body asking for water – not food. It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.
Sixth Way: Drink lukewarm water with two table spoons of honey daily (easy way out and fast)
Seventh Way: One-Two table spoons of vinegar (also the easy way out and fast)
Anyways, those were a few options that you can try simultaneously (which is what I recommend) or one-by-one. You take care of urself and good luck with that!

Hello,
you need to:
1) do weight training 2-3 times a week AND run every day for at least 20 minutes, keeping your heart beat above 125 (you'll build muscles and burn fats)
2) eat 6-7 times a day, each time around 275-300 calories (you'll speed your metabolism up)
3) eat LEAN proteins (that will take your cravings away and produce more heat):
You need to eat
a) SKIM dairy (excellent source of both high value proteins and calcium, which you need to keep your body LEAN)
b) lean meats: chicken turkey fish and game
c) nuts soy tofu and oily fish (protein sources that also are sources of essential fatty acids which your body need to survive!)
d) other sources of proteins: beans and legumes
4) choose organic food preferably (has a higher content of essential fats, which keep you lean!)
5) drink at least 2 lt (1 gallon) of water a day (help melt the fat) and green tea (help burn fat)
6) use sweeteners rather than simple sugar
7) use whole organic cereals, oat, grains
8) take protein powders (whey after exercise and milk before sleeping) to enhance your muscular mass

Ok let's be honest the only way you will ever lose weight and keep it off is to:
*Eat less
*Exercise more
*Drink plenty of water
*Work hard at it all the time
Sorry people but there is no magical pill that will shift weight quickly - thats something I had to face up to a long time ago.
