Getting the physique you want is going to be about 70% what you eat (your diet), and 30% will be how you exercise. you HAVE to be doing both things in order to get the results your looking for. It may seem tough at first but the bottom line is that your going to have to eat the right foods, not just less of the crummy ones. Two excellent places to find healthy diet recipes are WEIGHT WATCHERS and a book called "Body for life" by BILL PHILLIPS.

The six small meals aday approach is really the only one that truly works in my mind. it is used in every major exercise plan including the ever so popular p90x and body for life programs.

if your healthy enough to run I also highly suggest doing that. its the most effective fat shredder cardio exercise that exists and its the simplest to perform. Try running daily and you will surely be reaping the benefits soon enough. Stay away from the obvious bad foods like french fries, ice cream, chips, ect... also, try not to "reward" yourself by eating junk food or cheat food. Your reward should be your increased health and improved physique. Too many people "reward" themselves too often and severely slow down their results, and in some cases even back track.

In the end you must realize that your going to have to clench your fist every once in a while and eat some food that you may not be dying to ingest. after a week or so of eating clean food you will begin to become acustom to its nutrient dense taste and yes, dare I say you will even crave healthy food.

Eat right. Train hard. You will need a tremendous amount of self-discipline and accountability but if you truly want to shed the pounds and improve your health then it should be an easy descision to make.

i don't know if you get this... but if I have a friend who doesn't eat much I tend not to eat as much around her?

If that is true for you the nsleep at her house more often!

or keep yourself more active... clean your room, catch up on some work, go shopping, go to the cinema with friends who won't spend much at a concession stand... the usual stuff!

Sorry I wasnt much help!

im overweight myself... and I find being with my boyfriend makes me eat less because I'm pretty sure he eats hardly anything himself!

Thats pretty helpful. thanks. I've found that drinking lots of water and especially sparkling water fills me up and I don't eat for a while after that.

[Dippy_dancer]

Some sparkling water has calories though... which is just as bad... but as soon as your stomach shrinks you should stop drinking sparkling water because anything fizzy with sodium carbonate or sugars makes the body unable to gain any muscle, so you'll end up as skin and bones with no body shape, or you'll end up really thin everywhere except you belly because of the sodium in the fizzy drink which will stop any major weight loss in the regions the sodium is being digested in.. people dnt realise lol

[Asker]

Ive never thought of that thanks

I'm 5'7 as well. what helps is not eating too much, have small portion meals, drink lots of water, green tea hleps. I take fiber pills in the mornign to keep full and I make sure I eat fruit and vegies. I exercise a lot. I walk to work often and walk around at work too. I tried the 6 pack pills that I bought from gnc, they didn't do anything for me.

do more exercises and just work on cardio, losing a few pounds a weak is helathy but not a whole bunch. hit the gym, dont' eat too much at night.

Eat less, move more. Also, try this sleep challenge: link

drink water every time you feel like eating. force at least 250 ml down, you'll feel more full
