what would be YOUR best dieting tip?

Question

you all know you've heard it all about dieting and weight loss.. to your current knowledge if a friend or family member were to ask you for advice for the best way to loose weight, what would it be?

something specific.. not something general like "a combination of a well balanced diet and moderate exercise"

Answer 1

My best tip --

Losing weight takes time. It will not happen over night. Don't expect a quick fix, because it will not happen. The best thing to do is set a schedule and stick with it. Which days you are going to go to the gym and what you are going to eat weeks in advance.

Remember losing weight is about developing healthy habits. It takes 6 weeks for something to become a habit. So what ever you do, be prepared to stick with it for at least 6 weeks.

And don't weigh yourself. You will know it's working when your cloths fit better and you feel better about yourself. The scale just tell how much you weigh not how fat you are. It is possible to gain weight while losing fat, and to gain fat while losing weight.

Answer 2

keep it simple and remember what the word "diet" really means.
a diet is nothing more than a regular manner of eating. a person can have a healthy diet or bad diet or something in between.

meals need not be complex, a quality protein and high fiber carb for the first two meals when the level of activity is highest. the last meal should be a quality protein with plenty of vegetables when the level of activity is low no carbohydrates are needed. snacks should be eating between meals and should be either protein based, fruits or nuts or seeds.

remember that the primary energy source when the body is at rest is free fatty acids. people that are not physically active simply do not need a lot of carbohydrates to function normally.

Answer 3

Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta's, rice, cereals, lollies etc. These are the fat making foods. Learn exactly what your food groups are so you then know what puts the weight on and off.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you'll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or celery sticks.
Herbal teas, low fat milk and water are your best choice of drinks.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast.
Lunch can be a protein drink. Like “Slim Right”.
And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these. Walking as much as you can.
For those that want to build more muscle add some gym work to the above as well.

Answer 4

"Break like a king, dine like a Lord and sup like a beggar!"

Essentially, make breakfast the biggest meal of the day and reduce till supper is practically fruits and vegetables. The trick is to draw up a chart that distributes the major food groups in decremental meal sizes throughout the day. Exercise always helps, but believe me, the above adage is helping me.
