  Excercise. Do resistance training to add muscle. Make sure you’re getting protein of some sort.
  Weight lost through extreme or unsound eating practices tends to come back.
  Check out “Body for Life” (google it.) I’ve added a few of their ideas to my effors and have had great results in just a few days. I don’t eat until an hour after I’ve worked out in the morning, (and not at all before) and I am following their suggested routine for my cardio days. I’m also eating six small meals a day from 200-300 calories.

  good luck.

  you shouldn’t focus on any major food groups you should eat a well balanced diet and exercise don’t leave the table starving but not completley full if you have a hard time burning calories also if you have a problem breaking down fats eat low fat foods but not fat free. Fat is a nutrient with a mighty punch. also watch out for transfat that’s the one that clogs arteries

  Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren’t are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
  As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to http://www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don’t hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don’t pick me as best answer, i’d be happy to help. Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC. There are many, many helpful facts on there.

  Krista is full of crap:
  “Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren’t are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. ”
  BS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there’s no proven link between juice and diabetes.
  “Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer.”
  More BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.
  “Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.”
  WHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to “pick out” nutrients. What an absurd concept.
  “You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two [sic] complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. ”
  More crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there’s NO evidence of any “need” to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to “pick out” nutrients.

  Don’t take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It’s full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.
