Cut out as much unnecessary fat (mac and cheese, trans fat, ice cream, red unlean meats) as possible but still eat some good fats like those in fish, olive oil, and nuts
eat HEALTHY. THIS IS HARD but it works. No white flour. No refined sugar. No artificial sweeteners, no hydrogenated oil, etc.
Losing weight can be healthy or unhealthy. The healthy way to lose weight will hopefully stick and you'll lose weight, feel better, look better, be happier.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Water cleans out toxins from your body and flushes out fat.
Don't eat during the 3 hours before bed time, and near the arrival of those three hours, eat something yummy but light, easy-to digest. Some berries or melon? Salad? Hummus? Lots of good stuff out there.
Can't run? Exercise anyway. Sit ups. Crunches *i do 100 a day...do 'em the right way though and you'll feel results). Stretch EVERYDAY!!!! Get blood flowing, this increases your metabolism and burns fat and makes ya feel good! Look into some yoga to help guide your stretches if you want. Try Sun salutations and repeat 4-10 times morning and evening.
Eat LOTS of fresh fruit and veggies. They have a lot of water and nutrients so you are full of nutrients and full from the water, this will not tide you over for a long time but that's ok.
Eat OFTEN! Eat six smaller snack-like meals a day.
Eat whole grains a couple times a day but don't depend on them just because they are easy!
Eat a nice-sized hanful of any nut besides peanut and macadamia a day for necessary good fats to halp you lose weight and for nutrients.
Lastly, get enough sleep. Sleep helps you feel good, look good, and lose weight. Sounds weird but try it. 8-8 1/2 hrs a night is usually a good range.
for meat, try fish and chicken instead of red meat...eat not too often
avoid cheese and butter often. VERY high fat. Trade for cold-pressed olive oil.
Have fun and good luck!
