  1. Portion control, eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and getting an hour of any type of exercise into your life every day.  If you need a jump-start try; http://squidoo.com/stripthatfatdietplan


  2. have u r food at correct time with out fail (every 5.3 hrs recomended)

    avoid snaks,  

  3. Its simple. You just have to eat the right food without depriving your body of what it needs. Exercise daily and use less calories then you take in SENSIBLY

  4. hey u know if u want to lose weight then eat the same just add lil work out session in ur daily chores

  5. eat lots of fibre diet, plenty of warm water, exercises and Yoga will help considerably in reducing weight.

  6. eat less and exercise. works every time

  7. eat lots of fruits...keep ur stomach filled upto brim with low fat and high fibrous and high energy food, so that u dont feel hungry or be tempted to rich food. guava is very good for dieting, even cucumber, and lots of water, and exercise 20 minutes rigorous exercise in the morning and evening. these are for being slim...

    for being muscly eat a lot of healthy food but not rich food...intake proper amount of fat and exercise...fat will give u the energy u need....exercise is a must for both types of dieting...and keeping your stomach filled too...coz only eating less will mean that ur body wont get proper vitamins and minerals and u'll become weak.....and water  is needed to keep ur skin ready for the change in shape...skin's cellular structure largely depends on its water content...the more targid they are more flexible...science...happy dieting

  8. home food is the best  

  9. look worst mistake which people make while dieting is they think it means eating less,,

    Dieting means eating not less ,but right kind of food at regular and fixed intervals.

    it is tht food which burns calories ,it doesnt means u should not consume calories ,noooo, u shld eat what u feel ,jst tht not like how u always did ,,instead if u had burger 3 times a week, have it 2 times ,but its notth not to eat.

    But yes intake of ""fibre"' rich food is essential.

    fruits like oranges, bananas r reach in fiber.

    lemon juice works.

    have salads,,

    u can skip a meal in day, instead have peanuts, and fruits , which increases ur metabolism rate.

    and drink water, if possible hot water, hot water not only helps to flush out waste frm body easily, but also reduces gases problem.

    Apart fmr this exercise is must.

    early mornign before having food, do some sit ups ,do some running, jumping.. or u can go t oGYm wen u wish,, basically exercise is must.

    right food and good exercise goes hand in hand if u wanna diet properly.

  10. The best way to diet is to not think of it as a diet if you want it to be long-lasting. Think of it as a way of life that you will adopt 6months? 10 years? Think of the foods that you enjoy eating, and think whether their bad bad for you or if their good. Then think of the good-for-you foods that you can incorporate into your daily meals. Try on the go snacks like baby carrots, or dried figs, high calorie that can hold you over between breakfast and lunch. Eat plenty of fiber to help your body eliminate waste, drink plenty of water, excersice atleast 45 minutes a day if you want to see quick results, and increase your activity doing whatever you can: skipping, jogging, cycling, jumping rope, playing ball, swimming, etc.

    I would recommend:

    1. setting a realistic goal that is not going to overwhelm you and you can reach. Don't say I want to lose weight, say I'm going to lose one pound per week, for the next 3 months. (or whatever your personal goal is)

    2.If you can remember, try and write what you eat. Studies repeatedly show that writing what you eat helps people reach their weight goals.

    3. Get a workout buddy. It's hard to break a meeting with someone, again studies show that having a diet/workout buddy truly helps.

    4. Try and not eat everything on your plate. Leave several forkfulls on the plate to cut back a few calories, and be able to share desert with your friend once a week.

    5. Don't starve yourself, that will do more bad than good, your body will end up retaining fat because it thinks that you are starving!

    6. Treat yourself to something you enjoy everytime you reach your goal, even if it's a nice haircut, or a new pair of shoes. You're working hard, you also deserve to show off that new bod!

    7. Don't hate yourself if you s***w up a little bit. No one is perfect and reaching weight goals takes hard work.

    8. MAKE the time to work out. Even if you get out of bed one hour earlier, your day will be filled with energy and you'll be sharp and focused.

    9. Eat plenty of lean protein to increase your muscle mass and lose the fat. Try a chicken salad for lunch and nice piece of salmon with wild rice and a side of steamed carrots for dinner. These are great sources of protein and salmon has the omega-3 fatty acids that help combat cancer, help brain function and it's delicious.

    10. Trail mix is a great way to stay satisfied-has good amount of protein and you can top salads with nuts and dried fruit, like cranberries or raisins.

    But the ultimate way to diet, is to commit to what you want and only you know that. I recommend getting pen and paper and start writing your goals. Hope this helped some. Good luck

  11. It really depends a lot on your goal.  If your goal like most people, to lose weight, look better, and feel better, then here are some basics you can start with:

    Unless you are seriously overweight, then forget your scale.  Seriously.  Your weight can fluctuate by a couple pounds just throughout your average day, based on water weight, food, etc. and your weight doesn't tell you whether you're losing fat.

    One of most common mistakes I see among people trying to lose weight is that they hit treadmills/bikes hard for extended periods of time in the gym.  That won't help you burn fat (after 45-60min of aerobic exercise, women will go catabolic and start burning muscle- for men, this happens even sooner).  To effectively burn fat you need to keep your heart rate low and remain in anaerobic respiration (slow jogging, weights, etc.).  You'll burn fewer calories, but you'll be burning the right kind, the right way.  The point of this is to build and tone muscle, because muscles help you burn more calories and more fat, even when you're not exercising.

    The other common mistake I see has to do with eating.  Instead of eating fewer meals and less food, you need to eat more often (every three hours) and eat smarter.  Which means- instead of fruit before workouts or right before bed, eat it after you exercise; start your day with an unsweetened bowl of oatmeal; CUT processed sugar (esp. high fructose corn syrup) and processed carbs; and make sure you get plenty of low-fat protein, simple carbs, and water within the first 40 minutes after you exercise, so your body can make the most of your workout. Remember- 80% of your goal is nutrition, which means the right food at the right time.

    Some women are afraid to build to much muscle, but you can easily build good muscle without looking like a body-builder.  It's often as simple as replacing fatty muscle with lean muscle, so your appearance may not change noticeably, aside from the fat you lose.

    Finally, sit-ups and ab work can help you tone, but all that work is not going to show until you seriously drop your BMI- like, below 10%.  To do that, you'll need to burn fat, so eat well and exercise right!

    Good luck!
