Curbing your appetite or skipping meals slows down your metabolism and your body retains calories...try this, it works for everyone.
Eat several (5-6) small portion meals a day, you will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.
(eat about every 2 hours)
You will lose an average of 2 - 3 lbs per week until you plateau to your ideal weight.
Meal suggestions:
piece of fruit
bowl of cereal (high fiber low sugar)
string cheese, summer sausage
cottage cheese/yogurt
tuna/turkey/ham sandwich (lettuce, tomatoe)
pizza
soup
salad
raw veggies
boiled eggs
popcorn
Always eat a good dinner (small portions)...fish, meat (bake, broil, or grill)potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy
Low calorie sweets...ginger snaps, fig bars, 100% juice popsicles
Drink plenty of water
Drink milk (low fat) or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)
Stay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods (no fast-food)
Never eat before going to bed.
Cardio exercise is great, but most people don't continue for an extended period, do "daily" simple exercise like walking/hiking, biking and swimming which are low impact, once your body is used to simple exercise, play games like tennis, basketball, baseball, or volleyball, they will help to lose weight, tone your body, make new friends and you'll have fun doing it.

There are appetite suppressants available by prescription and a few herbal remedies. I suggest another means first. If possible, eat snacks. If not possible, then learn to live with some discomfort. It's not about starving yourself. It's about discipline and learning to eat the correct amount of food for your energy and nutritional needs. You are going to have to make sure that your diet is well balanced. Eat right and your energy will increase. Then you can exercise. That will again increase your energy. Be sure to get the rest you need. Someone said, "Success comes to those who do what others don't feel like doing". You probably won't feel like exercising, but if you will do it anyway you will find success. Don't overdo it. Be sensible and disciplined.

you need to eat small portions of food at least five times a day, this encourages the metabolism to burn energy quicker and speeds up the digestive process. and if you incoroporate a 15 minute minute walk in each day you will burn more calories which aids metabolic rate and will enable you to lose weight if that is the end result

If you snack often, you're metabolic rate will stay elevated, you won't ever feel desperately hungry, and you will have a more constant stream of energy
