Answer 1

find daily calorie intake calculator, enter your stats and find maintenance intake- take off 400-600cal and you will lose eating that much a day.
use fitday.com to track your intake
eat 5-6 small meals a day -make healthy food choices - complex carbs, lean protein, healthy fats, dietary fiber (5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day) etc.
cardio is the only fat burning exercise, 4-6 times a week for average of 45min, light weight training a few times a week
at least 8 glasses of water a day
no candy, junk/fast food, fried food, nothing made out of white flower, no processed foods, no sodas

Answer 2

Eat a balanced diet & limit your fat and sugar intake. If you're not sure about how much of what to eat check out the food pyramid , it a good place to start. One other thing might be to cut out processed foods (i.e. snack cakes), they contain a lot of preservatives. Instead, try an apple or some baby carrots as a snack. Not only will you keep a healthier weight, you'll also feel better & have more energy. But if you intend to maintain a healthy lifestyle I suggest you exercise as well as eat right.

Answer 4

Start one step at a time - take breakfast. STart your day with a good breakfast every day until it becomes a habit. Examples are whole grain cereal with berries, or Oatmeal, or 2 eggs w/wheat toast, or a smoothie or protein shake. You can add in extras to the shake, like fresh berries or omega 3 oils. Then when that feels like a habit, try changing your lunch selections...on and on until you feel like you're in a healthy place.
