I've tried EVERY diet there is out there. But I've finally come to my senses, and decided that I'm going to try the "slow and safe way." That's the only thing I haven't tried yet. So here's what I'm gonna do.Here's what to do (follow these steps in order):1.) Find your BMR (the BMR calculator can be found on this site) http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calcul...2.) What ever your BMR was (it's a 4 digit number), eat that amount of calories per day, and exercise. When you exercise, make sure you burn 500 calories.*Most people can go into 'starvation mode' at 1200 calories! So it's important to find your BMR.*Here are some other tips:-Drink 8 glasses of water a day. A ground-breaking study shows that drinking 8 glasses of water per day, will make you burn 30% more calories daily. That's a significant amount! (It also helps flush out toxins, curbs appetite, and aids in digestion.)-If you don't like drinking a lot of water at once, just divide it up: Drink 1 glass of water every hour, for the next 8 hours. That's how I drink my 8 glasses of water daily.-Cut out all processed food (canned or packaged foods.) Try to make food yourself. -Try to put in some protein in every meal. But do NOT exceed 60 grams of protein per day (unless you're a body builder.) Humans only need 18-60 grams of protein per day. Most Americans are consuming TWICE the amount of protein they need! THAT can lead to future obesity.-It is recommended that adults get 30 minutes of exercise 6-7 times a week, and teens should be getting 30 minutes of exercise 6-7 times a week. So find which is you. Try to make your exercise a 'cardio' exercise.Here's my email nomoregluttons@yahoo.com
