Answer 3

If you're serious about losing weight you MUST try Acai Berry! I first heard about on Oprah, and I ordered a 14-day FREE trial from this site. I've already lost some weight and I've got tons more energy.

Answer 4

for a workable diet -

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent  carb. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category. 25  per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. have a protein shake too, if you want. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Needless to say, NO soda, chips, cookies! Lose a kilo a week. that is  permanent loss.  pick an exercise regime you like.  

get a pedometer and  try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

Answer 5

She seems pretty young.

Do you think she should lose weight?

I hope she doesn't develop an eating disorder.

What I did was eat mostly healthy whole grains or LO GI food.

Do simple thing like brown bread instead of white. Brown rice instead of white. Soy milk instead of full fat. Drink more water than juice. No soda! Go easy on the sweets. Just stay away from fatty and sugary foods, or have only a tiny bit a day.

Exercise at least an hour a day a few days a week.

Don't eat less than you burn.

Don't drink only coffee or water.

Don't starve yourself.

Don't have 500 calories a day.

Answer 6

exercize a little more by skipping the video games and computer.
