Hey,
I am going to tell you the way that works even though it is not always easy or fun.
1. You need to do an hour (ideally an hour and a half) of cardio a day
-the cardio needs to hit reach your target heart rate (I will post a comment about this later)
-cardio is waking, running, aerobics, biking, swimming
2. You need to cut calories by about 500 to 1000 calories a day. (if you need 2000 then you should cut calories by 1500.
Example Breakfasts
1. one cup of cheerios with 1/2 cup skim milk daily
2. 1/2 cup granola with greek yogurt daily
3. egg white omelet with green bell peppers, tomatoes, onions and cheese (cooked with nonfat cooking spray)
4. 1/2 cup oatmeal with water or skim milk and one tbsp of peanut butter with 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
Example Lunches:
1. 2 whole wheat bread with turkey and cheese
2. grilled chicken salad with lite or no dressing on the side (limit this to two tbsp)
3. vegetarian chili with cheese (limit to one cup chili and 1/4 c cheese)
4. grilled chicken sandwich without fries and side salad
5. pasta salad (limit to 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
6. egg salad sandwich made with one egg, light miracle whip, relish, and one slice ww (whole wheat) bread
Example dinners:
1.) Broccoli, one cup brown rice, one cup pinto or great northern beans
2.) 2 fat free refried bean tacos with low carb tortillas with 1/4 cup cheese, fat free sour cream, salsa
3.)Lean cuisine (limit these because they are high in salt) eat ones with lots of veggies
4.) Turkey spaghetti (1/2 cup sauce 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta of your choosing) and perdue turkey (have it at Kroger and Publix
5.)vegetarian burger with whole wheat bun i.e boca burgers and sweet potato fries on side (limit to 1/2 cup or 3 ounces)
Drink water instead of sodas
Drink your coffee (if you must have it) with skim milk
Use stevia and truvia instead of splenda
eat fruit based desserts
but light ice cream and limit it to 1/2 cup to one cup when you eat (Breyers carb smart is very good)
When dieting get out your measuring cups and spoons, a scale (or use your cloths if the scale is bad news)
Meal 1: 3-4 egg whites, 1/2 cup original oatmeal with cinammon and splenda, multi-vitamin, b-complex, fish oil capsule
Meal 2: 3-4 ounces lean protein (chicken, salmon, canned tuna or salmon, egg whites) on a big salad with any veggies you like and one tablespoon of oil with as much balsamic vinegar as tastes good to you, or you could also use any low-calorie dressing made with olive oil or canola oil as a base
Meal 3: 3-4 ounces of lean protein and veggies, fish oil capsule
Meal 4: 3-4 ounces lean protein, 1/2 cup of a complex carb like brown rice or 4 ounces of sweet potato, veggies
Meal 5: 4 ounces lean protein, veggies, one cup of a complex carb, fish oil capsule
Meal 6: 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese, serving of fruit
The key is to eat real food. You want to eat whole foods that you would find in nature. Eat as unprocessed as possible. Eat 6 meals a day. Get on a good workout routine with strength training and cardio. Drink tons of water. Above is a sample meal plan. You don't want to cut out carbs. What you should do is have carbs (meaning besides veggies because veggies are carbs) in 3 of your meals. You want a 1/2 cup serving of complex carbs in your breakfast, a 1/2 cup serving of carbs pre-workout, and one cup of carbs after your workout. And make sure you get in good fats as well.
Other meal ideas :
-1 slice whole grain bread (check that your bread does not contain enriched bleached flour of any kind) with 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter or almond butter, 1/2 banana (good for meal 1)
-1 serving of greek yogurt with 1/4 cup oats (steel cut taste best in the yogurt, it adds crunch) and a serving of fruit
-3 scrambled egg whites with 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, veggies (can add slice of whole grain toast if its breakfast or pre or post-workout)
If you like butter, get smart balance butter, it has healthy fats.
Only drink water one day, eat 1500 calories the next day. Lose a pound every 2 non-eating days. Exercise is not important to losing weight. For example, one hour of exercise is usually 200-300 calories. That's one 20 oz. bottle of soda. Not eating for a day is 1500-2000 calories down. That's half of a pound. It literally takes olympic style training regimens for exercise to ever be as much of a factor in calorie loss as dieting is. No one understands this because 1) they hate math and 2) they hate looking things up. If you can do math, and you can look things up, this is blatantly obvious. You lose weight when you eat less, end of discussion.
The best low calorie meals are the broccoli and cheese 40 calorie boxes they sell everywhere. It's microwavable, disposable, and only 40 f***in calories. Pudding pops too, only 40 calories.
More low calorie food:
goldfish crackers are 150 calories for 50 of them
a lot of whole fruits (like a banana, an apple, a pear NOT pears in juice, apple slices in juice) are low calorie
many soups are 300 calories or less
a whole bag of peas or corn is like 200 calories
corn dogs are 200
lots of ready made low calorie meals are available at the stores
Paleo style eating.
Intermittent fasting.
"Clean eating" diet.
Paleo is just cutting out sugar/grains. So it is all animal proteins, Vegetables and legumes/healthy fats. Just make sure you have some meat and some veggies in every meal. Drink water.
Clean eating is the same thing except with grains. So bread and rice are fine, but you need to count calories on this style of eating. So finding out your Basal Metabolic Rate online is necessary, to stay within range to lose weight.
Intermittent fasting is just making sure that when you eat, all the food is eaten within an 8 hour period. So 16 of the 24 hours there is no eating. This style makes it really easy to eat the calories you need and not suffer while losing fat, because you get to eat bigger meals. So for example, when you wake up first thing in the morning, you skip breakfast and have your first meal 4 hours later. From that point, count 8 hours. So if you wake up at 8. Eat between 12 and 8pm.
Sleep, then do it all over again

The best diet plans are ones that you can stick to the rest of your life.
Most of keeping in shape is eating right, with a smaller percentage being exercise.
Keep active most days of the week and you'll be fine. Continue to challenge yourself and try new things. I always liked making goals- training for a 5k, 10k, half marathon, triathalon, etc. It gives you goals and something to work towards. There are tons of beginners training regimins that are easy to follow that give you a calendar of what days to run for how long. Throw in some weight training and you are good to go.
As for diet, eat healthy 90% of the time. Cut out pre packaged snack food, and processed crap. Eat fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains. If you are going to eat bad food, eat GOOD bad food. Don't waste it on fast food or cheap crap- go for a gourmet burger, or a cupcake from that really good cupcakery down the way- basically, if you're gonna go for it, GO FOR IT. Every time you pick up something, ask yourself if you really want to waste however many calories that are in it, on that food when you could have more to eat later on and still lose weight and feel good about yourself.
There's no crazy diet, strict detail or magic formula to remember, you just live your life healthy.
If you look at ratings of diet plans, you will find that Weight Watchers is very often mentioned as number 1. I used them a number of years ago and lost 33 pounds in 4 months.
I am on another diet now and have lost 30 pounds in 4 months by exercising and working with a nutritionist. For exercise, I walk 4 miles per day/6 days a week. I am eating 1,500 calories per day.
Breakfast = multigrain cheerios with fruit and 1% milk, coffee and juice; on other days I have a bagel with a small amount of cream cheese and lox and coffee and juice.
Lunch= salad with chicken or salmon in it and lite dressing.
Dinner = stir fry veggies.
Between meals = apple or banana and sometimes steamed veggies.
It seems to be working.
The best diet plan is knowledge.
It's almost impossible for anything to pick up a book of recipes and live by it word for word for the rest of their lives. Instead of trying to live within strict guidelines and eventually failing, try learning about healthy eating and what kind of foods you should build your lifestyle around.
For example, you can look at meals as having 3-4 components. Vegetables, carbs, proteins, and maybe fresh fruit. Think of some of your favorite vegetables and focus on eating those. For carbs, look at whole grain breads and potatoes. For proteins, think about chicken, turkey, and lean cuts of beef.
When you know what's good and what's not, you can have fun building your own diet plan based on your own taste buds.
I really like that Dr. Pape diet plan. It's easy to stick to and somehow still works. Basicly you eat 3 meals a day. Mostly carbs for breakfast (like toast with yam, fruits, juices...). For lunch you may eat whatever you want (preferably something healthy though) and for diner you eat mostly proteins(like plain yogurt, milk, meat, fish, veggies..). In beween meal you eat nothing for 5 hours and you can't drink anything sweetened too. So you just drink water and unsweetened tea in between.
I found it very very easy to stick to and it got me great results. Add some work out and it should work great. Maybe you can google the diet plan to get better information
link That link gives you the diet plan. This link gives you everything you could possibly need to get in fantastic shape, and have most likely, the best diet of your life link . It's been two weeks for me and I already see changes.
You can have the best body in the world, but without proper diet no one will ever know it. Exercise is also very important to maintaining a nice body and living an active life-style.
when it comes to results-vegan diet. a friend of mine lost a lot of weight (I think it was 10 kg) in a little less than a month by only eating vegetables and fruits,and only drinking water. she also didn't eat after 5pm.it's good cause you don't get hungry and you lose weight too. but I don't think you should really focus so much on dieting as you should on exercise,that way you can make sure that you're getting everything you need from food since you'll have no forbidden food group and you'll get toned,which is better than being skinny-fat cause you'll be healthier AND slimmer.
The key word here is lifestyle. There are lots of diet plans. It really doesn't matter what you choose, as long as it is healthy and practical. Whatever you do, make sure it involves exercise. Pick something and stick to it.
Key pointers:
1. Drink lots and lots of water. It fills you up. Double your daily water intake.
2. Lean proteins.
3. Run, run, and run.
4. It is much easier to put weight on than it is to lose it.
Keto diets are good at losing weight fast without crashing calories and f***ing your hormones and such up. Essentially your training your body to live on a lower carb diet and this allows it to use fat as fuel (which it prefers anyway), once you have the desired weight/body look, you can slowly start to up the carbs again slightly to make it a longer term diet plan rather than a 6-8 week rapid fat loss that keto excels at.
Probably not what you want to hear but I've had the best results by simply focusing more on the exercise portion of things than nutrition. For the diet portion of things I only worry about:
Am I getting enough fiber?
Am I getting enough protein?
Did I eat enough fruits and veggies today?
Did I eat any ridiculously high sodium foods today?
Did I eat anything that's high in saturated fat or processed to hell and back?
Long as those questions are answered I couldn't care less about my diet.
For weight loss, a protein sparing modified fast. If you send me a msg, I can hook you up with an ebook on how to do one.
For maintenance, I actually found going on the PSMF then adding food back _in_ was easier then starting with my earlier diet and trying to adjust it down. The book I have has some suggestions on moving to maintenance as well.
Everything "works", at least for a while. But any program that deprives will create rebellion in your brain, so long term maintenance requires a permanent change in the foods - BUT, the new foods must also be very tasty and ones you crave.
Put an emphasis on foods that don't come out of a box or bag.
Eat lots of soups
Watch this BBC program, it's good!
Whole food plant based diet is truly the best thing you can do for your self link
I didn't really go with a specific plan. But I went vegetarian and I drank 2 liters of water every day. And I stopped eating snacks in the evening because I stopped buying them :P Lost 33lbs in a few months!
Get a nice blender and blend a little vegetable with a lot of water. It fills you up and surprisingly satisfies. Herbal teas without sweeteners too
Eating light and runing
Not eating works
