to maintain your current weight you should eat 2000kcals per day. so to lose weight you need to restrict this to 1500kcals. but make sure you eat no less than 1500kcals as this will slow your metabolism & you won't lose anything. basically you can eat whatever you do like within this range and you will lose weight.
if you cut your cals back to 1500 per day & do exercise 2-3 times per week you will lose 1-3lbs per week easily.
if you are restricting your diet it's also a good idea to take a multivitamin to ensure you are getting all your vital nutrients.
other tips are just sensible things, like drink a lot of water, swap butter for margarine, sugar for sweetner. try to eat wholegrain cereals bread & pastas as these fill you up longer. try to get your 5 portions of fruit & veg per day. drink fruit smoothies.
for exercise, i would recommend a class called body pump - this uses weights to tone you up & burn lots of calories (www.lesmills.com) - give your local gym a call to see if they run it. i did this class twice a week & could see big difference fast!!
Take up Cycling or running.
Look at Tour de France riders and marathon runners.
there is your answer.
You've got to burn off more than you eat.
diets can make you inactive and only increase the problem.
My hubby is the same way!! My suggestion is that the foods that you like get them in fat free or low fat. For example: butter, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, breads. Also eat whole wheat foods instead of white foods. GOOD LUCK!
Start a diet - any diet you find and like, as many of them are really working. The problem is afterwords, to keep the new weight.
I can suggest you Colored diet as you can replace many of the foods with fruits.
Exercise - it can be just walk (5 km per day at the beginning), run, dance,swim
Change the diet after two weeks - start new one, continuing exercising. The secret is the body not to get used with the particular diet
Good luck!

Good luck!
From Dr. Barbara Rolls, one of America's leading authorities on weight management, comes a much-anticipated lifestyle guide and cookbook that empowers and encourages her readers to quit "dieting" for good, to feel full on fewer calories, and to lose weight and keep it off while eating satisfying portions of delicious, nutritious foods.
THE VOLUMETRICS EATING PLAN doesn't eliminate food groups or overload you with rules. It's a common sense approach to eating based on Dr. Rolls's hugely popular VOLUMETRICS WEIGHT-CONTROL PLAN and her respected research on satiety that shows you how to choose foods that control hunger while losing weight. Along with menu planners, charts, and sidebars on healthy food choices, the 125 recipes put her revolutionary research into real and tangible instructions for every meal. The full-color photographs make these delicious recipes irresistible.
The good news based on solid research is that you can eat more - probably more food than you're now eating - and weigh less, if you choose more of the right kinds of foods.
At a recent meeting on the worldwide obesity epidemic, important insights into successful weight management were offered by Dr. Barbara J. Rolls, a professor of behavioral health at Penn State. She began her presentation on weight control with this irrefutable statement:
"Calories count, no matter what you read in the press. The laws of thermodynamics have not been reversed."
With respect to weight gain and loss, the laws of thermodynamics can be translated as: Calories consumed must be used or they will be stored as body fat. The body does not waste energy, no matter what its source. When people are placed on carefully controlled calorie-restricted diets, the amount of fat in the diet - whether 25 percent or 45 percent of calories - has little effect on weight loss, Dr. Rolls reported.
People who claim that they can eat as much as they want (of protein and fat, for example) and lose weight as long as they avoid certain kinds of foods (carbohydrates, for example) are really eating less (that is, fewer calories) than they did before.
Many characteristics of foods affect satiety: how they look, taste and feel in the mouth; how much chewing they require; the nutrients they contain; how densely packed the calories are, and, independent of caloric density, the volume of food consumed.
"People tend to eat a consistent weight of food," Dr. Rolls has found. When consuming a calorie-dense food high in fat, people are likely to eat more calories just to get in a satisfying amount of food.
In her studies, people ate a constant weight of food, but if water contributed significantly to the weight and volume of the food, they ate about a third fewer calories. In one study, Dr. Rolls and colleagues tested the amount people ate when offered a 270-calorie chicken-and-rice casserole with a glass a water to drink, as opposed to the same ingredients prepared as a soup. The soup eaters spontaneously consumed 100 fewer calories, she reported.
Thus, by decreasing the energy density of foods, people naturally eat less, not just at an individual meal but all day long, Dr. Rolls reported. This was true of lean and obese participants in the study.
After water, which has zero calories, fiber contributes the most to food volume for the fewest number of calories. Fiber supplies 1.5 to 2.5 calories per gram, far fewer than fat, at 9 calories, or protein and carbohydrates, at 4 calories per gram. Also, fiber holds water in the digestive tract, which contributes to a more lasting sense of fullness.
In comparison studies, the best and most effective diets found were:
1st: Volumetrics
2nd: Weight Watchers
3rd: Jenny Craig
Volumetrics is free...except for the book. And, you have to cook and meal prep for yourself anyway...Why not learn a method that will enable you to prepare yummy foods, they ones that you like best...and be able to lose the weight and maintain for a life time.
Just remember the math of it:
Weight loss = daily/weekly/monthly calories burned > daily/weekly/monthly calories consummed.
So...what's the healthiest, most tolerable way to acheive that in the long run? Volumetrics. (...and exercise because fat is metabolised within muscle tissue...so build up those larger muscles to become a "better butter burner"!)
Hi Sophie,
First let me tell you this: don't eat any food that makes you feel bad. It does not make any sense to force yourself to do something you hate because it will only raise your stress level and this is a recipe for weight gain (please more explanation on my web site). In a nut shell: stress of any kind or shape tells the body to store fat around the waist. No matter what you eat or how much you exercise, the stress level is the one that will determine weather you lose weight or not. As far as your food intake goes- I would recommend to eat various food that you like but watch your calories (depends on your gender, age, life style).
Take care,
Neli
Try a volunteer job in a third world country where they do not have the choice of foods that we shove into our bodies, it will cure you of being so darn fussy, and will get rid of the weight you say you have.
