Losing weight...help?

[browneyes43]

I'm 106 pounds and 5'2. I would like to lose some weight and get down to 100 pounds, possibly 98 pounds. I have never really tried to lose weight before so I would like some tips and pointers please. I used to cross country run and ran track through hs and have been running fairly often but not as intensely since I'm out of hs (I just finished my sophomore year of college.) I don't eat a ton of terrible food but I would like to eat healthier. Does anyone have any tips on how to lose weight or any healthy eating tips? Thanks :)

Weight loss is mostly about decreasing calories or increasing exercise, or both.

If you're already running, that should be enough exercise (you want aerobic exercise to lose weight, not weight lifting or other things that build muscle). What you need to do then is to modify your diet. Since you don't have a lot of weight to lose, you shouldn't have to do too much.

Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Reduce your intake of:

- fats

- fried foods

- sugar

- starches (potatoes, pasta, bread, etc.)

And finally, drink more water.

You won't need to cut your overall volume of food down much if at all, just eat less of the "bad" foods and more of the fruits and veggies. Don't drop your protein intake much, though (meats, eggs, fish), because you need that to be healthy.
