Answer 1

Diet I follow, and I lost 10 pounds.

Every morning I eat a whole grain cereal, i like granola with raisins in it...yuhm!!! I hate our school lunches and their are so gross (cant wait till next year where our campus is open!!) so I take healthy stuff, i usually cut up 2 apples (that i promise will stay fresh!!) and maby a Quaker 90 calorie pack or yogurt coverd raisin....etc, stuff like that. For snacks I like sugar free jello, yogurt, fruit, pickles, a little bit of granola, and this health bar stuff that my mom makes and if you want the recipe e-mail me, and a lot more health snacks- they are not hard to find!! For dinner i just eat whatever my mom makes, because if you ate healthy all day, why not splurge a Lil at dinner???=] For exercise I'm in cheer, and that 3 hours is a darn good exercise, and I walk 1-2 miles with my mom a day or swim since im a ex-waterpolo player , sometimes we don't have time for it, but its not that big of a deal.

Make sure your drinking alot of fluids....instead of soda, water, those crystal light things you put in your water bottle, propel, and Gatorade.

Make sure you get enough protein, stuff like cheese, milk, ham, ect. And carbs is not a bad word!!! Especially if your exercising alot!! Make sure you eat healthy and not starve yourself!!! Thats not what we need!! Do it the healthy way!!

Hope this helps!!=]

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.
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:)

Answer 3

i suggest alternating the gazel and the bike instead of doing both everyday. do some resistance exercises such as push ups, squats, lunges, and crunches every-other-day before your cardio work. as far as diet, cut as much as you can on soda/pop, chips, sugars, pasta, and white bread and rice.

Answer 5

try slowly cutting out junk food and soda.... it hurts your esophagus and stomach.... try new habits like celery(it eats away the crap you eat) and carrots veggies, fruits, and WATER LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
