diet plans?
I’m trying to set up a diet plan to help me lose weight. I plan on walking everyday to begin with. Does anyone have any plans that have worked for them?

Eating smart with the daily walking sounds good:
The natural “diet”: Eat, drink, and be merry
Eat smart – well-balanced meals, cut out any unnecessary calories (snacking just because), eat when you are hungry (grumbling stomach, hunger pains) and only eat until you are satisfied (not a bite more), 5-6 smaller meals is better than 3 larger ones. Also, stop eating 2-3 hours before bed – you should be slightly hungry at bed time
Drink plenty of water, not only to stay hydrated, but its important for weight loss, including helping the muscles tone and suppressing hungry. (Tip – the lighter your urine the more hydrated you are.)
Be merry – in other words exercise, not only is it needed for weight loss, it releases chemicals in your brain and makes you more happy (some of it is addicting which is known to a lot as “runner’s high”). 30 minutes of cardio is recommended daily, and a good work out program uses cardio and weight training (even if it’s just toning – light weights, more reps). Do something you enjoy and it will be easier to stick it out.

Diet plans?
Do any of you know any good diet plans? I want to lose at least 20 pounds in a month and a half because I have to get in a dress. Any suggestions? I do cardio 3 times a week and work out 2 days a week, and I have decided that I need to do more cardio during the week…so it’s not like I don’t exercise, I just have really bad eating habits and don’t know of any good diets. And also, I hate drinking only water, and I’m addicted to pop. Any good drinks you can think of with low calories? No diet coke/pepsi though…thanks in advance =)

Free Diet Do’s:
Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day
Each meal should contain protein, fat and carbohydrates
Reduce intake of sugar and high starch carbohydrates (bread, rice, potatoes and pasta) at night
Increase intake of fruits, vegetables and fiber
Free Diet Helpful Hints:
One of the most important keys to following a successful nutritional program is preparation. Keep healthy food available for each meal to prevent simply eating what is convenient. Give your free diet some thought and plan out what you want to eat for each meal and snack during the day. Prepare foods in bulk, if necessary, for each week. Also remember that the way in which you prepare foods is just as important as the food that you choose. Choose baking, broiling and grilling over frying and stay away from rich sauces.

PROTEIN SOURCES : Chicken , Turkey , Fish, and Lean Red Meats, Low Fat Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, and egg whites)

Diet Plans?
I am 15, 5’0 and have a small build. I currently weigh 127 pounds. I would LOVE to weigh 115, well actually I would love to weigh 110 but lets start out easy haha! Since January 1st, I have lost a total of 40 pounds, but now with school starting again I would LOVE to lose the final 12 plans. I currently do Dance Dance Revolution EVERYDAY for 5 miles (it calculates how many miles you jog doing it) and I am starting to do 100 crunches and 25 push ups again (I stopped for a while because I got lazy during the summer – who doesn’t! haha!) But anyways, does anyone have any GOOD diet plans? I am going to start making myself eat less carbs (I currently have been eating a lot, and I am going to make myself drink 8 glasses of water everyday) But is there anythign else I can do? Please help! Don’t tell me I’m not overweight like some have done in the past..I know I am…I am also short so its worse! But please help! Any help is wanted! 10 points for the best answer! 🙂 Thanks a lot in advance!

Keep up this and you’ll shed those pounds pretty soon!Just eat a 100 calories less then your normal meal.You shouldn’t go on a carb diet, you need to eat all types of foods, try changing what you eat every 3 days and you will lose weight about 11 pounds in 2-3 weeks. I’m not sure it was something on Google that you had to pay for but those are the guidelines!And remember not to go on any fad diets!Don’t starve yourself!
Good Luck!I hope this info helps!
