Go see a doctor or a professional dietician. They can recommend a course of action that takes into account your individual situation and identify strategies that'll help you lose weight sensibly.

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Forget crazy diets.  Here are a few tips for dieting:\n\n1.  According to the John Tesh show, you should combine a lean protein with a small amount of fibre.\n\n2.  Do not eat snack food or junk food except as an occasional treat.\n\n3.  Read labels and pick foods low in sugar, white starch and fat.\n\n4.  Try sushi, wraps, subs and pizza over fast food.\n\n5.  Eat snacks if desired but go for apples, carrots, crackers or English muffins instead of a package of chips.\n\n6.  Go for a couple of walks everyday.  Start off at the gym weightlifting, using the treadmill and swimming twice a week.  Go for bike rides, play tennis, Badminton, a game of volleyball, baseball, some rugby or soccer in the backyard.  I enjoy basketball and baseball in the summer.  Even yoga is great.\n\n7.  Get counselling for any personal problems or join a support group for weight loss.\n\n8.  Drink two litres of water a day.\n\n9.  Switch from sugary, creamy coffee to black coffee, herbal tea and decaf; drink light beer and sugar-free cider.  Whiskey and tequila are better choices than say, amaretto.  Wine is nothing but sugar.  Drink no more than two cups of coffee a day.\n\n10.  Try diet soda.\n\n11.  I cut out red meat and cut down on flavoured yoghurt and I have lost weight from it.  For iron, I eat eggs, preferably boiled or poached, instead.

Go to the first diet site u find..........do the opposite.  In otherwords, eat high refined sufgars and starches.  Don't go for fast and greasy foods, coz you'll just get zits.

there is a book called fit for life 2- living health, by harvey and marilyn diamond\n\ni have followed this diet plan myself and lost 30 lbs in 30 days... it is based on food combinations and your body's ability to process foods\n\nit essentially says to:\n1- not combine starches and protiens in the same 4 hr period\n2- eat only fruits and fruit juices before noon\n3- eat fruits BEFORE a meal (at least 20 mins)\n4- eat your meals at least 4 hrs apart\n5- avoid refined sugar and bleached flour \n6- drink 8 glasses of water daily\n7- eat dairy in moderation (says we are not baby cows!)\n8- get at least 30 mins of exercise daily\n9- do not drink soda pop as it causes our bodies to retain fat cells\n10- do not skip meals - makes your body go into panic mode and store fat... it slows down your metabolism\n11- eat fresh, raw foods when possible (except meat of course)\n\nthis is it in a nutshell-- it worked for me! the steps above are the most important ones listed in the book- follow all of them, not just a few and your results will appear magically before your eyes!\n\ngood luck\n\nsusan
