Question

ok so i want to loose a couple of pounds and i am doing ok i haven't had pop in 1 month its just the sweets and other foods that bother me i just can't help but eat i need some tips on how to keep myself from eating all the time!

Answer 1

instead of eating 3 square meals a day eat 6 small meals a day. you're eating schedule would look something like this:
9am - breakfast
11am - snack
1 pm - lunch
3 pm - snack
5 pm - dinner
7 pm - snack
keep each of these feedings around 200-300 calories. eating more frequently will keep you feeling more satisfied through out the day. theres no reason why you should let yourself feel starved all day -- it will kill your metabolism any way. also before each feeding drink a 16oz of water. its great that you got pop out of your diet...that's a killer but if you are feeling like you have to have one drink a diet kind. set aside one meal a week where you can have candy or cookies...whatever you've been craving. this will help keep cravings under control while not sabotaging your healthy caloric intake. just make sure you keep yourself under control all the rest of the days of the week!

Answer 2

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
