I lost 120lbs in a relatively short space of time (about 5 months). I have become too comfortable recently, and started eating regularly again and I cut back a lot on my exercising. I gained back about 25lbs in about 2.5 months. I do not plan to lose all of the 25lbs because I feel as though I got too small when I lost all the weight. I am looking to lose about 15lbs. The diet I used no longer seems to work for me. Can you please recommend a diet plan and workout regiment for me to get these results in about a month or less? Also, can you suggest something that I can take for energy? Thanking you in advance for great answers!

congratualtions! just eat right and exercise at least 30 minutes every day. your body will adjust to the weight it should be. walking is the best exercise, but any brisk movement will work. you should exercise differently than you did before because your body is used to the old way and won't give up calories as easily. also you might try eating smaller meals several times a day (5-6) to boost your metabolism.

Low Carb Dieting Tip
Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.

Ways to Boost Your Metabolism

Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day--helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.
Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.

Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.
Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.
Don't Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer)
Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat.
Some basic fruit and vegetable tips:
• Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day.
• Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It's easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety - include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.

I would recommend doing cardio 3 days a week and lifting weights 3 days a week. Cardio will burn fat, and the weight lifting will add more muscle which will boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories when you're not even doing anything. For diet: try the books "Body for Life" and/or "The Abs Diet" These will give you guidelines to lose weight and maintain that weight for life, while having cheat meals here and there, so you never feel deprived. They are not hard to follow.

he metabolic powers particular foods have to make your body burn more body fat.” It is a way of rating foods, based on “how many calories your body is going to burn just breaking down the nutrients every single time you consume a particular food.”
Therefore, you are not alone in this battle.
