Chew more...

Chewing slows down the rate at which you eat. You will feel full well before you finish your plate. This means you will consume less calories than normal, but you will feel more satisfied.

I think most know that... The key is finding strategies to help complete those 2 tasks.

I'm planning on cutting out the obvious. Fast Food, Soda, Alcohol. A friend of mine cut off soda and has already lost a good amount of weight. Probably from drinking water though.

Work exercising up to 1 hr a day, go for 1,000 calories. Do it for six days a week, NOT seven. You should lose about 2 pounds a week.

Not eating as much and exercising are the easy parts. The hard part is knowing which foods to eat so that you remain relatively healthy. It's not so obvious.

Start drinking lots of green/black tea. I drink it everyday when I get into work. Don't get the cheap stuff....get a decent brand.

It speeds up metabolism, has a lot antioxidants, and prevents you from getting hungry.


Its great for lazy people like me!

- no cheat days (don't 'reward' yourself with unhealthy or oversize
portions of food)
- avoid going out to eat (come up with other social interactions that
don't revolve around getting fatter)
- no fast food, ever (choose subway if you must.. there's a way to eat
kinda healthy at some of these places, but you're better off avoiding
them)
- make a point to ban certain foods, and simply don't buy those foods,
it's incredibly easy to avoid temptation when you don't have junk
foods in your house, over time you won't miss those foods
- don't skip meals, ever
- get in the habit of reading the nutrition labels of everything you
buy, avoid 'partially hydrogenated fats' 'trans fatty acids'
- also, lose the tortilla chips, there's better snacks for you

Great tips... In adding to the 'don't skip meals, ever.'
Start eating breakfast (if you don't already).

No problem, comes from being married to an Air Force Fitness Specialist.

Soda: If you look at the health facts of soda there
are enough calories within that 20 oz cola to equal one meal. I used
to be able to down about 3 of those at once, so technically within an
hour I just ate 3 meals. No more, toss em or give em to a friend.

Diet Soda: Still a no go. It may have zero calories but its also
considered another one of a dieters worst nightmare

Indeed... These are pretty tricky.

Those are which foods to avoid eating, which is easy. It's not so obvious which foods in which amounts provide you with all the nutrients your are supposed to need.
