Answer 1

I think that what you two are doing is a really good idea! I always count my calories and fat grams. It not only helps me to keep track of what I'm eating but I also will stick to my diet better. I've recently started to eat my "supper" for "breakfast". Which means I am eating my biggest meal of the day in the morning. I have already lost 5 lbs doing this. And you should get at least 30 grams of fiber in a day, which is really hard I have to use fibersure. Walking is one of the best excercises! Just make sure to flex all of your muscles while doing it. And try to walk further every day.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

Eat small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism revved (Eating every 4 hours is a good goal to shoot for). Dont let yourself skip meals! Skipping meals leads to weight gain, not weight loss. Eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains (whole wheat bread and pasta), and lean sources of protein (skim milk, lean cuts of meat, eggs, light yogurt, etc). Make these light, satisfying foods the staples in your diet and you will automatically cut calories (if you cut down on or cut out the junk)

a good website on healthy eating: www.webmd.com

Heres some motivation: I recently read that overweight people actually have higher metabolism than those who arent, not a lower metabolism as previously believed. So if you commit to a healthier diet, you can see results quickly!

You and your friend may try exercising together to keep each other motivated. Start going for walks a few times a week. Dont get so caught up in the game that you do something dangerous, like not eating or throwing up your meals. Good luck!

Answer 3

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:)

Answer 4

I have been sucessful with a low carb diet like the south beach diet( i lost 22 pounds) but if you can't drink water, I am not sure that you should go on a diet without consulting your doctor first..

Answer 5

Answer 6

The best way to loose weight and keep it off is with a total body cleanse product that provides nutrients. The body retains fat and fluids to buffer itself against toxins. Get rid of the toxins and the excess fat and fluid comes off. This can be done quite rapidly if you choose the right product.
