My sis did the same last week! Just get some really nice salads (cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, lettuce etc) and if you're not a veggie, then get some roast chicken and shred it up and mix in the salad and get or make a low fat/calorie dressing. Or, if you're a veggie, then just add croutons instead of chicken - just try to avoid carbs!

Hi,

Try and stick to, lots of salads, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, pulses, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, spinach, asparagus. There's a lot more but these are the only one I can think of right now, and that's only for the fibre part of your diet.

Make sure that you have a 2 pieces of fresh fruits a day, or fruit smoothies if you are on the go.

As you need to make sure it's a balanced diet, you also need to shop for good carbs ( make sure you eat 100g of carbs for lunch and dinner, it's just a small amount and your body needs it to get through the day. That will help you achieve long term weight loss.
Here are a few I can think of:
wholegrain pasta, rice, wild rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, quinoa, and cous cous.

And don't forget your protein!! and lots of water.
Also make sure that you treat yourself to one of your favorite food once a week (not a whole meal though, either a dessert or some part of your meal). Dieting should be part of a lifestyle change, not punishment.

Good luck!!

AAARRRGGHHH!!! I'm repeating myself a lot in this section because so many people do not seem to have the facts. Basically eat a healthy diet (that doesn't mean starve yourself!) and EXCERCISE!

Basically don't worry so much about counting calories or dieting. You need to worry about your body fat percentage, and not your weight. If your Body Fat is at a healthy level, it doesn't matter what you weigh. For example I am tall and pretty muscular and athletic, with a healthy level of body fat. Yet because of my muscle mass and height, I am 'obese' according to the BMI (body mass index).

Just eat good healthy and varied meals, at least 3 or 4 a day including breakfast. Apart from breakfast (a good meal of fruit/cereal/fibre) each meal should contain a good ammount of protien (chicken/fish, etc) a few carbohydrates (rice/pasta/potatoes) and lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (fresh fruit and veg).

There is nothing wrong with having the occassional takeaway/pizza/choccy bar, etc, as long as you limit this to occassional treats.

If you do this, you will be eating a good healthy diet which will give you a good metabolism and will help you maintain or lose a little of your body fat over a good period of time.

Secondly you NEED to excercise.

A lot of Cardio excercise (running/swimming/cycling etc) will improve your heart rate and your fitness levels, improve your metabolism and burn a lot of body fat.

Weight and strength training (this doesn't neccessarilly mean body building! sit ups, torso work, light weights still count) will improve your body tone, strengthen your muscles and give you a good toned physique for when you do burn off that body fat.

It is much more about living a healthy lifestyle, excercising, keeping your body fit and strong, and filling it with the right nutritional fuels than just limiting your food intake to lose a bit of weight.

Good luck and hope this helps.
