   Count calories and fat. Limit to a 1,000 calorie or 30 gram of fat diet a day and you will lose weight without exercise. I lost 30 ponds in 3 months! Exercise helps too! Its so simple its just crazy. Also limit portion sizes and that will help a lot.

   As for keeping your mind off food, after a couple weeks of a diet like this it gets much easier. When you are used to being able to eat whatever you want whenever you want it is hard to break that habit. Be sure to treat yourself to one meal a week with whatever you want though to stay sane…

   If you go to lediet.com you can sign up for a free weight loss program. You don’t even have to exercise! All you do is take like a 20 minute survey on the foods you like to eat and then you can choose the “intensity” of a program you want to go on. It then automatically tells you how much you should eat of what for each meal of the day, and gives you a “menu” for each day of the week. My aunt did the highest intensity level the week before her son’s wedding and lost 7 pounds in 7 days! Another good weight loss tip is when eating food, (I know this sounds weird) but put it on a smaller plate. If you tend to put your food on big plates, and there is a lot of empty room, it will look like a smaller portion than it really is, and subconsciously you won’t be as full. However, if you put the same portion on a smaller plate you’ll feel more full and won’t have the need to eat more. A final tip is try and cut out “mindless munching”. I notice this happens to me and my family when watching TV or on the computer or reading or something, but try to eliminate this by munching on healthy snacks. Actually, my mom has this new thing where she freezes grapes, (just wash them like you’d normally eat them and stick them in the freezer) and then she sucks on them and eats them. It actually tastes like candy and now she munches on these instead of sugary snacks. Hope this all helps, and wish you the best! 🙂
