How can I lose and keep off the weight?

Question

I have lost weight but find it hard to maintain. I need some ideas that are not hard to live by.

Answer 1

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

Diet right and exercise. Don't just get on a treadmill everyday.....lift weights too. It boosts the metabolism. Eat 5-6 medium portioned meals a day with the last one being no later than 8pm. Don't get on any of these crazy atkins diets because they don't keep the weight off in the long run and can be harmful to your body. Seek a nutritionist or personal trainer to help with the details and to keep you motivated. Good Luck!
