eat lots of fruits and veggies, and if you eat bread, make sure it’s whole grain. white bread is pretty fattening. you can also eat lean meats, like fish, turkey and chicken breast.

skip out on sweets, candy, sugary foods, chips, ice cream, cake, and cookies.

if you feel hungry, but don’t want to over eat, chew gum. it’ll keep your mouth busy and it tricks yourself into thinking your eating.

cut out ALL soda! if you stop drinking soda, it helps you out a lot!
and don’t forget to exercise!

try walking, jogging, jump rope, dancing, bike riding and swimming. try exercising for 45-80 minutes a day.
good luck!

Here’s some other quick tips for you:

* Do not skip meals. Skipping meals slicks the body into slowing down the metabolism, attempting to conserve calories during a period where limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the metabolism.

* Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.

* Slowly eat and chew each bite during meals as this would decrease one’s appetite.

* One of the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into casseroles and soups.

* Chilli helps to speed up metabolism – even the milder varieties.

If you have started losing weight, just remember it’s a question of will. Keep doing what your’re doing, stay away from junk food and sodas, and you will feel more healthier and alive than never before.
