I've lost 40 lbs since the spring by changing my eating habits, so I think I might be able to offer something on the matter.

Cut out the sodium, which means eat fresh everything you can (nothing from a can, box, or jar unless you have no choice, and nothing frozen either). The reason for this is because everything that's prepackaged has high sodium added as a preservative and sodium leads to both water retention (a big part of weight gain) and high blood pressure.

Drink lots of water (at least 2 liters a day) and don't drink anything else if you can avoid it. That means NO SODA!

Start out your day with a bowl of that flavored oatmeal & a piece of fruit such as a banana.

If you're going to snack, ONLY snack on fresh fruit or vegetables. No chips or anything like that. (Bananas have become my best friend)

For lunch eat sandwiches using low fat, low sodium meats from your deli (I use low sodium turkey & low sodium ham since they're both naturally low fat), and switch from regular bread to flatbread, making them wraps, if you can.

For dinner, experiment with various recipes involving either fish, boneless/skinless chicken breasts, and lean (the 95% lean kind--nothing less will do) ground beef. Just be sure not to cook them in oil or add anything that contains a lot of calories or sodium. I've been making burritos & other things that are very tasty, filling, and low salt/low fat.

Finally, DO NOT EAT LATE AT NIGHT! You should ALWAYS allow yourself at least 4 hours (more if you can help it) in between the time you eat your last meal of the day and going to bed. ALWAYSclassy's advice about not eating after 6pm is fine if you're on a normal schedule but if you're a night owl or (like me) don't even get home from work until about 6:30pm, it's ok to do it later. Just remember to leave yourself 4 hours or longer between food and bed.

The only other option short of surgery would have to be a change in diet. A decrease in weight only comes about by a calorie deficit. The only two ways to get a calorie deficit are to either take in less by eating less or expending more by exercise.

Easy! 1st - Excercise don't make you lose weight, 2nd - you have to understand how your body works i.e. how you gain weight. You gain weight when the level of sugar in your blood is high, you organism reacts by producing insulin that transforms that excess of sugar into fat. That why if you eat a chocolate bar of 300Kcal your sugar goes up very quickly, your body reacts and transforms it, when you eat a salad of 300Kcal your sugar stay as it is (may be a bit higher because of oil, eggs, cheese, etc), no transformation. That is the Glycemic or Glycaemic index notion: bread, sugar, potatoes, etc have the highest GI. BTW, your body does not need pure (refined) sugar; fruit sugar (glucose) is enough to give us energy.

You want to lose weight - eat the food with the low GI: meat, fish, egg, nuts, vegetables, avoid fruits and dairy products in the evening (fruits contain glucose, milk contain lactose which are forms of sugar). And here link

However, pay attention to quantities and you need to eat all kind of foods, with a lot of meat, veggies, fruits and nuts.

i'm in the process of losing weight and before I started I hated exercising, mostly because I hate the thought of sweating I think its gross. But when you start you realize how different it makes you feel. You'll have so much more energy. I also do things I like to make it more appealing to me, like dancing, swimming etc.

but if that is really unthinkable to you just cut down on bread, all the gross junk(twinkles, donuts, pizza.etc)drink a lot of water and eat smaller portions. The main thing is you can't think of it as a diet, and it won't work unless you truly want it.

What I've learned, no matter how hard it may be at first, you HAVE to exersise to stay healthy. Afterwards, you feel so much better, and it definitely makes a difference. Also, the second part of it is eat in small portions, and eat healthy foods. especially FRUITS and VEGGIES. Stay away from fatty foods, and if you can't help yourself, only eat a handful. With eating out at restaurants, get a salad or low-fat meal, and don't supersize things. Also, drink lots and lots of water! Seems like pretty simple information, but it makes a difference! :D

Well besides exercise and walking places, you could just try to replace all ur drinks with water and that should help.

I know that it's basically the same thing as excercize, but my freshman year of college, I actually slimmed down because I was always going to the mall, and I started my first job as a bagger at a grocery store. That's just the way to go. I enjoyed it, and it didn't feel like a chore or a pain. You're getting a mini workout while you're having fun.

sparty · Answer

If you don't wanna exercise then just stick your finger down your throat or stop eating altogether.  If you wanna do it the healthy way then exercise. Not only will you lose weight but you might put on some muscles or tone up. I know gaining a rockin bod is an awful side effect, but its the best and healthy way.  Pills don't work and diets usually fail, especially for guys.  Eating 1500 calories of sugarless carb free foods is no way to enjoy life. Just keep it in moderation and work out. I suggest balance of cardio and weightlifting

MrNameless · Answer

By decreasing weight.. You're talking about losing fat right?

If you want to do that.. You'll have to decrease your caloric intake (eat less than you usually do), eat more healthier foods (lay off the junk, eat more fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, lean meats), drink more water..

and do more cardio (like running) exercises.

Eat way less carbs.  Stop sugars, sodas, and most snacks.  A simple change in diet to healthier foods can do a lot.  No pizzas, subs, or any other fast food.
