I you read some of the weight loss tips and nutrition forums here there are a lot of great tips posted.

Give us a little bit about what you are eating now and how much exercising you are getting.

Have you ever heard or tried Herbalife? I lost close to 20 lbs in a month using it. Basically, you drink shakes to replace your breakfast and dinner. Let me tell you though......you have to have the willpower and only eat a healthy lunch. If you stick to it........the results could be great!!!!!

I'm not a great fan of diet products. Someone once told me when I was young that you can eat whatever you want if you're prepared to work off the extra calories.

The easiest way to control your weight is by improving your fitness. If you went for 3 runs a week for about 40 mins it would be a good start. Not only will it burn calories it'll just make feel better generally.

Also I think you'll notice that working out will change your appetite as you start to crave more carbs instead of fatty foods and sweets.

Anywho that's always done the trick for me in the past (and still does). I hope everything works out for you.

So, just a quick tip. Of course, there is always things like taking easy to eat veggies and fruit to snack on (such as baby carrots, celery, grapes...), but you were saying you work in an office and therefore don't get much physical activity at work. There are a couple things you can do to get in more activity at work. If you have an office job that has stairs, whenever you use the restroom always go to a different floor. Also, I was reading that there is something (I don't know what the web site is, but I'm sure you could research it) that you can buy and put under your desk and it's like pedaling on a bike while you're at your desk working! Also, fidget whenever you can, any type of movement helps to burn little bits of calories that all add up! Good luck!

Go on a detox diet. Bittergourd is a wonderful detoxifier.

Try this Ayurvedic Weight Loss Remedy

One tsp Fresh Bitter gourd Juice
One tsp. Aloe Vera Juice
One tsp. Lemon Juice
One tsp. Honey( Suzanne doesn't recommend honey but Ayurveda does and moreover I didn't dare take it without honey).

Mix them together and gulp it down, it tastes horrible.


Another Weight Loss Remedy is-

Mix one tbsp. honey and juice of one lemon in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it on an empty stomach.

Here are some basic guidelines to follow if you want to burn fat:
1. DIET
Eat 4-6 small meals per day that consists of the right portions of good protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats.
Avoid high glycemic "bad" carbs as much as possible.

Sample Meal:

BREAKFAST
1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese & 1/2 cup pineapples =or= 2 hardboiled eggwhites with 1 apple or grapes.

MID-MORNING SNACKS:
2-3 slices of turkey or chicken (whitemeat) & 2 slices of swiss cheese

LUNCH:
1 grilled chicken breast, or salmon fillet on a salad with lots of fresh veggies, =or= 2 cups steamed =or= stirfry green veggies =or= a salad with tuna (fresh or canned) or chicken on it with any olive oil vinegratte dressing.

MID-AFTERNOON SNACK:
1 Low fat Yogurt (any flavor)

DINNER:
6 OZ GRILLED CHICKEN OR FISH OR LEAN PORK LOIN USE NO SALT ADDED SEASONINGS OR MARINATED ONLY.....with 1 small plain baked potato =or= 1/2 cup brown rice

REASON: This will help to keep you from getting too hungry, will reduce your overall calories, and will keep your blood sugar regulated.

2. EXERCISE
Do interval training instead of long "same speed" cardio routines
Add lean muscle mass by doing total body strength training sessions 2-3 times per week. Do not just use the strength training machines at the gym.
REASON: To burn calories and increase your metabolism.Good luck and remember that persistence pays off

REWARD FOR DOING A GOOD JOB EACH WEEK:
YOU CAN HAVE ONE(1) CHEAT MEAL A WEEK....EAT WHATEVER YOU LIKE. THEN BACK TO YOUR ROUTINE.....REMEMBER THERE IS NO SHORT CUT OF LOSING WEIGHT......EXERCISE 2-3 TIMES A WEEK IS A MUST...NO EXCEPTION.

AGAIN GOOD LUCK!!
