2. drink a glass of water, then wait 10 mins, then eat! you'll be far less hungry
3. make every meal really special and enjoy your food. for dinner, you can light candles, use nice plates etc
have a 3-course low-calorie dinner and take your time... you'll feel so relaxed & satisfied
for example, starter could be corn on the cob or soup, a healthy main course and a diet yogurt or slice of melon for dessert!

on 11/22/2005 I find doing straight forward exercises, like running and cycling, to be boring. A fun way to exercise is to dance. Joining a belly dancing group is great, and for the men, try boot-scooting. Otherwise a cheaper, easier way is to just turn on a music channel and copy the moves the professional dancers do.

on 11/22/2005 His secret was determination. Don't start a program if you aren't ready. It requires an emotional and physical commitment. A balanced state of mind and determination will make sure you stick through the diet and you'll see results. Have fun with losing weight, it's not a punishment.

on 11/22/2005 I've stopped watching TV while I eat. I enjoy every bite and don't eat as much. It helped me control my portion and enjoy my food. Savor your food and you'll see a difference almost immmediately. Good Luck Everyone!!

on 11/22/2005 Eat a lot of dairy products every day. Try different yogurts and cheeses. It's called the dairy diet. Dairy products break down fat in your body, it helped me.

on 11/22/2005 Do not drink colas, for 1 glass of cola it takes 17 glasses of water to get it out of your body, and it is addictive.

on 11/22/2005 Do 10 crunches and 25 sit ups every day. If you do, then you will become much more fit and thin.

on 11/22/2005 It takes your body around 100 calories to digest, I've lost 20 pounds eating a stalk a day without dieting at all.

on 11/22/2005 Anything with good fiber (and don't forget to add some protein and fat) will keep you running through the morning. But getting your carbs in is really important or you'll never lift your eyelids! Despite popular thought, caffeine makes you hungry in the long run! Drink lots of water if you like coffee. Nothing keeps you awake like having to run to the bathroom!

on 11/22/2005 Pick a word or image that makes you feel good. When walking, repeat this word or image and walk for no more than 15 minutes. Pretty soon you will look forward to your daily walk. Also, don't eat after 8 PM.

on 11/22/2005 Drink a glass of green tea in between meals. The hot water gives you a feeling of fullness and drinking three glasses of green tea is known to have fat burning qualities.

on 11/22/2005 Eat less snacks and choose healthier options. When you do you can make a huge difference when combined with an exercise program. Eating natural foods like fruits and vegetables instead of processed, salty, oily, and sugary snacks can be just as satisfying and will leave your body feeling lighter and cleaner. When food shopping, just avoid the junk foods aisles. If the junk isn't in your house, you won't be tempted to eat it.

I was about 200 pounds 2 years ago and have since lost approximately 35 pounds while gaining a nice muscle tone. I am in the best shape of my life and attribute this change to exercise and healthier eating.

on 11/22/2005 If you grab for chips because they are convenient and easy to stuff in your mouth, then head to the bulk foods section of your grocery store. You can get dried mango slices that are about the same size as chips, they are natural, and have natural sugars and fats in them which are good for you. They taste great and are safe to snack on when watching TV. Also dried banana chips are great. Mix banana chips, dried mango slices and unsalted peanuts for a great improvised trail mix.

on 11/22/2005 Try to avoid eating anything before going to bed, no midnight snacks either, you burn very little fat while you sleep. Make sure to drink plenty of water though.
