Need tips to lose weight

Eat better food

oh and drink at least half your body weight in water!!

Dear lord DON'T do this!! You'll end up hyponatremic and give yourself heart failure. (Terri Schiavo anyone????)

Eight glasses of water is fine. More if you exercise heavily or are in a hot climate.

seriously? your body is made up of 70 percent water. doctors recommendation is to drink that much look it up

i disagree, and i am much healthier overall.

I eat what I want, just healthier amounts. I've lost 53lbs by eating less (of the same foods) and moving more. Simply, that's all there is to it.

No, you don't need to cut any foods out unless you have some sort of sensitivity to it. You just need a calorie deficit. There are many ways to achieve a calorie deficit. You can avoid exercise and lose weight just with your diet, you can eat less and exercise and lose weight, you can fast some days and eat regularly the other days and lose weight, all that matters is that a calorie deficit is created and you WILL lose weight, barring any medical problems.

Def check out the sexypants link posted.

I've tried diet alone, and vastly prefer diet + exercise to lose weight because I get to eat more and like how my body looks with the exercise. You can have ice cream and pizza, but while you are losing you can look into low calorie alternatives to your fav "bad" foods. I have made low cal muffins, brownies, and cheesecake that make indulging fit easier into my lower calorie goal. The recipes section of the forums is a great place to find these.

You can still eat pizza too - Try a thin crust pizza instead of a deep dish, or just have less slices than you normally would.

You can still eat ice cream.. Just save up the calories for a single serving and make sure you weigh it. Mmm...

Good luck!

by the wat ie lost 46 pounds in 4 months doing this so you cant tell me it doesnt work

so i guess both ways work! i lost 90 pounds in 2013, and i ate anything i wanted!

!!!!! Say what? 90? Really? Geeeeze. I was good to get 30. Well, if I had kept with it, I could have reached 90 -minus the plateau. What did you do to lose it that quick? Just butt your butt during exercise or strictly watching what you eat? (You look fit so I'm guessing exercising. lol.)

i saying if you want to add that to your lifestyle. theres a black bean pizza that is really healthy for you i meant the stuf you buy at like dominos and pizza hut, but you guys are adults and can do whatever you want. she asked for advice and i gave mine just as you are doing. she can decided to do what she likes.

For fun, here is the Mayo Clinic on water intake.

How much water do you need?

Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.

So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

Also, how much water you should drink is directly affected by both your activity and environmental factors, not to mention person rates of perspiration.


Soo....Boom.
