try cutting out salt. only drink water. eat whole foods. no processed foods or food bars. count everything. pick a calorie goal you can reasonably meet that will give you consistent gradual weight loss. if you lose a few pounds and hit a plateau just keep doing the same thing and focus on not gaining weight back until your…

I have cut out added salt from my diet many times. I usually notice a quick 5 pound weight loss over the course of several days. I think its a great idea to recalibrate yourself to the taste of real whole foods w/o added salt. A cup of broccoli has 30mg of sodium in it already. If you are running a marathon or something…

hey Alycia - there could be a couple things going on here. If you are starting an intense workout program you may be hungrier than usual and overeating to compensate. From my experience this is somewhat normal and if this is happening your appetite should subside after awhile. The other thing like someone else said is to…

take it easy, make moderate changes you can stick with. don't rush it. i have found that the weight comes off when it wants to and if i push too hard i will just get frustrated and over indulge. also i agree with others there is no reason you should be hungry all the time. if you are hungry you should eat. lean proteins…
