| diet and exercise is the only answer.that is, if you even need to lose 30 pounds. you didn't bother to tell us how much you weigh or how tall you are. |

| control your proportions (3 meals a day or 5 very small ones)exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday with cardioi know this sounds really stupid and normal,but if you actually do it, you can lose like one pound a day cause its so different from your normal routine. i already lost 5 pounds in a week! |

| Take up jogging and get your endurance to an hour or 5 miles. Works like a charm. |

| I lost thirty pounds last year by portion control and walking. I measured food to know how much I ate. When I ate out, I cut the entree in half. I would eat the salad, but only half the other food. These two sites helped me figure the nutrient content of food and BMI among other things:www.nutritiondata.comwww.calorieking.comThe second site has restaurant chain foods listed so if you are tempted you can figure it in your calorie count.I walked two miles most days. Just work up to it and be forgiving if you over eat. Just go back to doing what you need to do. If you keep at it, it will come off. |

| The two major keys to weight loss is proper eating and exercise, any diet pills and supplements should only be secondary after you fix your eating habits and exercising, because if you just rely on the pills once you stop using them without learning proper health habits you'll just gain all the weight back.Diet:First you should eat every three hours. Constantly eating boost your metabolism. If you skip meals your body goes into "starvation" mode since it doesn't know when it will be fed next whenever you do eat it stores extra fat. Also try not to eat late at night try to eat dinner by 7pm definitely no later than 9pm. This is what I hear from many people and my kickboxing coach and also my kickboxing book. "We've asked you to eat five times a day- don't fret. You won't gain fat, especially if you know a thing or two about basic nutrition. Remember that eating every three to four hours revs your metabolism, which is one way your body burns calories." - The Complete Idiot's Guide to Kickboxing by Karon Karter and Guy Mezger.Heres what the schedule should look like7am Breakfast10am Snack1pm Lunch4pm Snack7pm Dinner9-10pm Light Snack if still hungry. Or you can eat it right after your Dinner.Now as for what you should eat for these snacks and meals I'll leave up to you here are some good ideas you can mix and match these meal items to create your own diet.Breakfast:1)Cereal with Low fat milk. Something like Special K, Cheerios, or Frosted Wheats.2)Oatmeal3)A few slices of turkey bacon, couple pancakes or few pieces of toast, a piece of fruit-A glass of 100% Juice. Usually the cheapest pure juice is apple or orange.Lunch:1)A sandwich take your pick ham, turkey, chick, beef, pb and j, just try to avoid too much mustard, mayo, or any other sauce. Slap on some low fat cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, or whatever veggie you like and enjoy. Oh yeah try wheat bread its a lot better for you.2)Also the same as making a sandwich buy a sub from Subway.You can eat the sandwich with a "Grab" size bag of baked chips.Dinner:1)Grilled or baked chicken breast or fish fillets seasoned it how you please. Remove the skin do not bread the chicken or fish, fry it, or add too much salt to it. Sides: Your choice of veggies: I personally love either corn or steamed broccoli.One baked potato avoid sour cream, adding a lot of butter, bacon bits. Try to keep it as close to a plain potato as possible. Or one potato chopped up and roasted with herbs is good too.2)Homemade Hard or Soft Tacos: Use ground turkey instead of ground beef(if you do decide to use beef use lean beef), Romaine or Green Leaf Lettuce(healthier than Iceberg), Tomatoes, 2% Milk Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Topped with salsa is you like, wrap in preferably corn tortilla (corn is slightly better than flour, but flour is ok) or place in taco shells.3)Grilled Hamburgers:Like before use ground turkey if not at least lean beef. Grill over charcoal it adds great flavor to the meat along with dripping off extra fat/grease if you dont not have a charcoal grill or time to grill look into getting an inside grill such as a George Foreman Grill though you do not have the same add taste from the charcoals you will still benefit from extra fats dripping off the meat. Use whole wheat buns. 2% milk cheese, and the extra veggie toppings you may like. Add additional condiments sparingly if at all. What good are hamburgers without french fries, huh? To avoid cook fries in a healthier way try frying them in olive oil(olive oil is pretty expensive though compared to corn/vegetable oil) or bake the fries in the oven. Place in a pan and use only a little vegetable oil to prevent fries from sticking and set oven to broil turning over when the fries are golden brown. The fries will be healthier than deep frying them and still have that crunchy crispy fried taste.4)Big salad with grilled chicken. Watch the salad dressing that usually screws people up.5)I'm not a big fan of red meat but you can eat it every so often, try to get lean beef or pork and go for grilling or baking it similar to the chicken and fish. Serve with your sides of veggies you like.Snacks:1)1-2 servings of fruit or veggies. Celery, Apples, Bananas, Raisins, just to name a few.2)Handful of nuts lightly salted.(My favorite cashews)3)Grab size bag of baked chips4)2 oatmeal cookies(iced or raisin are fine too)5)1 bag of 100 calorie snacks. They come in snacks flavors like Oreos.6)My favorite: a fruit smoothie. 7)Yogurt8)Small salad9)Air popped popcorn is actually pretty good for you. Its not until you add the butter and salt that its becomes unhealthy.10)Granola bar.Drinks-You need to drink at least 8 glasses of water throughout the day.-Try to drink one cup of white or green tea for me. I personally like Snapple's White Tea infused with Strawberry you can buy the packages and brew at home within minutes-I know if you have the urge how hard it is to cut out all bad foods from your diet so for dinner you can have one diet soda or glass of crystal light-Try to drink only 100% juice many "juices" out there are only about 20% real juice. Even then drink sparingly because many juices have a lot of sugar regardless.(You may want to try reduce sugar juices)Exercise: Try to do something you think is fun anything you enjoy doing. That will make exercising more fun and you'll be less likely to bail out on working out. So if there is a sport you enjoy go for that, you are interested in martial arts try kickboxing, home gyms, jogging, or join a gym. Just get movin'. I gave my mom The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max and she enjoyed it and lost weight , also some pretty good workout DVDs are Turbo Jam, Hiphop Abs, Carmen Electra Striptease Aerobics, Women's Health: The Wedding Workout, and Billy Blanks Bootcamp. |
