First, I lost forty pounds in seven months last year. Here is how it works. No fancy, gimmicks, pills or secret plans. The body needs fuel(food) to survive, bear with me for one second here, if you arent giving it the right amounts then it will store what you do give it as fat to use at a latter time when it needs it, sort of like a squirrel hording nuts all summer for the winter. Anyway, by not eating alot this is what is happening to you. You need to eat five to six small meals a day, which will keep the body fueled up. This in turn will increase your metabolism as well. Here is a sample of what I eat everyday.
Breakfast: option 1 oatmeal(water sometimes fat free milk) sweetened with splenda(not sugar) mixed with blueberries or strawberries. A piece of fruit and a glass of juice(read your labels, if the first five ingredients have any form of sugar dont buy it). otion2: a healthy cereal, again fat free milk.
Mid morning snack: I do a protein shake, fruit, or fat free yogurt.
Lunch: Grilled chicken sandwich(15 grain bread) with raw spinach(baby), tomatoes and a light mustard. Or tuna fish sandwich, stay away from regular mayo. I dont even use the light but its not too too bad. Sometimes a big salad with chicken in it.
mid afternoon snack: Raw veggies like baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, fruits or nuts.
Dinner: Lean meats, veggies. Stay away from the potatoes, rice and pasta.
and depending on how early I ate dinner i might have a early evening snack, popcorn no butter, health bar.
That is how I did it. I also exercised a bit. I would encourage you to begin walking progressing to occasionally jogging then eventually running as you SLOWLY build up your endurance. Just set aside 30 minutes a day, pick a distance like a mile and walk it, after a couple of times begin picking up your pace to improve on the time it takes to do it. As you get fast increase the distance. Remember this all doesnt happen overnight but you will see results rather quickly. Stay away from those damn scales. Weigh yourself no more than twice a month. Do some research about nutrition and all this stuff will become second nature to ya. Hope it helps. Good luck and keep you chin up.

By including at least 5 servings of veggies in your daily diet you will consume 20% less calories. Veggies fill you up without adding anything bad. If you just eat veggies all the time, you pretty much don't have to do anything else.
How's this:
Breakfast-Non-sugary cereal with milk, yoghurt,piece of fruit
Snack-Carrot sticks with hummous
Lunch-Wholemeal pitta with lettuce, cheese, ham and tomatoes
Snack-Handfull of nuts and raisons
Dinner-Lean chicken or fish with potatoes and lots of vegetables.
Also drink at least 8 glasses of water throughout the day.
Good luck. X
Well, if you have to eat a lot, at least fill your belly with healthy stuff. Fruits, nuts, rice cakes, drink lots of water - you know the stuff I mean, you've heard it a million times. The point is if you are full with healthy stuff, you won't eat the crappy stuff like chips and chocolate. Of course reducing the size of your portions is even better. If you can cut down on the big meals, and eat many smaller healthy snacks throughout the day, it's also supposed to help.
Eat often. Seriously. Carry a baggie with carrots and celery in it (maybe alternate days with the second being radishes and cucumbers, the third apple slices and spinach, a banana and snap peas....etc, just make sure it's two vegetables or a fruit AND a vegetable) and snack whenever you feel peckish. Carry a bottle of water with you as well, and if you feel like you want to eat something, take a drink of water.
When you eat at meals, portion things out on a smaller plate and eat slowly (put your fork down between bites). This will help your stomach to catch up to your brain and let it know when it is full.
Just eat when you are hungry though, don't have a huge bag. This way your stomach will always be working, but not be overloaded - and after a few days you will start to feel less hungry all the time, and learn to be satisfied with the snacks that you have. The water helps immensely in flushing your system of the toxins and whatnot that are already in there, and you will feel a difference really quickly!
The energy that the fruits and veggies will give you is amazing, as well - more energy to *do* things. I think the most important thing is to get up and go, even if at first you don't feel like it. Choose things that would be fun, like riding a bike or playing tennis or something.
You can do this! I don't believe in specific meal plans, because everyone's body is different. I also don't believe in deprivation. It may be tough at first but when you start to feel great it will be all the reward you need to keep going and stay fit!
