Can someone give me a daily list of things to eat/do to loose wieght?

Any suggestions!?!? I need to lose weight! Everytime I start I just don't finish! what is finish? once you reach your goal weight, do you still go on? I can lose obvious weight, eat 2 slices of pizza, or a 1 bag of pizza. and my face is bloaded looking again!! ugh it's so depressing. Can someone give me something to follow? I'm better with steps and guides. I can't do things like this on my own. Like what should I eat, times, when to workout? how long. I have wii fit!...? P&T =) lol not "1 bad of pizza" i meant to say popcorn!

Ok so i will give you a list of foods Chicken (skinless/boneless ) is a great choice, its lean and you can prepare it a million and one ways Brown rice Carrots Green beans Green pepper Brocolli Asparagus Avacodo tomatoes Lean beef are some of the foods i find helpful. Like you've probably heard before you should eat several times throughout the day, drink lots of water and exercise at least 20 minutes a day (this will help you maintain and start to lose weight) Start your mornings off by doing light cardio *walking.biking.rollerbladding, etc* 20 minutes, then have a breakfast that uses eggs * try to get egg whites, more healthy, less calories*, whole wheat toast, milk, fruit. Then 2-3 hrs later have some nuts and berries (great protein and it adds some fruit intake) a little later is lunch, try to have carrots, celery, green pepper (raw) in a baggy, have a homemade chicken salad, (skinless chick, any time of veggies, romano lettus and use BALSIMIC vinegar for dressing) then again you nead a snack, eat a banana or apple, finally for supper use lean beef in a meal, cut back on carbs, stay away from sauces/dressings. BE AWARE OF YOUR SODIUM intake and finally drink LOTS of water, 1-2 L a day
The best thing anyone can tell you is eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, (no peppers and mushrooms on an extra cheese pizza don't count) fish and chicken and drink a lot of water. Try walking a mile a day or jogging whichever you prefer. Also, do not eat after say between 7pm and 9pm. This is the time where most ppl get ready for bed and they sit around and do nothing. And do a few crunches before you go to sleep, I read that in a Women's Health magazine a year or two back. This jumps starts your metabolism while your sleeping or something. Since you have Wii Fit, exercise in the morning before you shower and eat breakfast and exercise at night before you go to bed. Do this for about 3 to 5 days out the week. Oh another thing, you have to motivate yourself to stick with it. The ppl who provide you with answers cant be there everyday telling you you have to exercise, so you have to REALLY, REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!! I stress that because I am starting my 5th diet and exercise regimen within the past two months because I dont feel motivated to continue. Weight is easy to gain and hard to lose, so you have to try extra hard to lose it and keep it off.
It's not just the food it's also the lifestyle. I lost 50 pounds by going on a no fat diet, eating 200 calories a day, yes you can if you only eat vegetables, and I was running and walking for 15 minutes every night then I got a bike and rode the bike an house every night after work. a real bike, forget that indoor gym crap. No one every uses that stuff...... Buy fresh veggies, make wraps. no fat mayo and honey mustard on it. Ride a bike or walk, exercise every day. EVERY DAY. Take the stairs, no elevator. On weekends, hike where there are hills to go UP. change how you live and you will change.
Here.. I'm going to answer this because I know you are going to get a bunch of spam and I feel your pain. I hate to quote sites, because they are often spam, but use livestrong.com.. it is a free daily diary of food. It calculates your weight and height and tells you how many calories you need to eat to lose the amount of weight per week you want. It also tracks you water intake, and you calorie, fat, sodium, carb, protein, sugar, etc. and tells you what percent of your daily intake for your goals you are at. It also names all of your food and snacks so you add then to your "plate" and can see what you have had in the last week, according to your goals. It also has an exercise directory for everything you do and how many calories it burns for your specific weight. I lost 14 pounds on my first week. I didn't do anything amazing.. I just made sure to eat 6 low calorie meals a day. I recommend source yogurt as well. It has 35 cal and 0 fat. They have the best flavours too! 3,500 calories is a pound and they will show you on that site where you are at at the end of the week. I actually lost a lot more than I calculated the first week, but that is typical. Have you watched the biggest loser? it's kinda like that... they lost like 25 lbs, some of them, at the end of the first week. :O Crazy crazy! Lol. I am not a spokesperson for any of these... i just am a person who has been stuggling with weight my whole life and, for the first time in my life, lost something! :) Good luck to you. And remember, don't eliminate everything you like... just change it a little and have it in moderation or you will never stick to it. Cheers!
Have you heard about negative calorie foods? Your body actualy burns more calories in digestion than it takes in. Try it and its all realy simple food. Google 'negative calorie food' and youl find lists of what you can eat.it works. Trust me.Good luck
All right first thing is to be more conscious of your food choices and become an avid label reader. 1 g carbohydrate = 4 calories 1 g protein = 4 calories 1 g fat = 9 calories The recommended calorie allowance is 2000 and I suggest following a 40-40-20 diet. Which mean 20% of calories come from fat 40% from carbohydrates and 40% from proteins. So doing some math: 2000 x .20 = 400 calories fat or about 45 g of fat daily while you need to eat about 2000 x .40 = 800 calories or 200 g from carbohydrates and proteins and you can mix this ratio up so may want more carbohydrates and less protein. However we used an example of 2000 calorie diet but you may need lower or higher calorie ranges to lose weight the general rule of thumb is take you weight x 10 or 12 and that is the amount of calories you need to take to lose weight no more no less. The next step is to shape your meals around this. Now the key to eating and being healthy is to be consistent and have variety of colors. what I mean it is most ideal to eat small meals about every 2-3 hours. Small meals things like an apple, a salad without condiments, and a small handful of nuts. In this sample meal we have healthy fats, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits, nuts, basically a variety of colors. Getting the idea? And the key to being consistent is to take maybe an hour during the weekend to buy foods in bulk and create your small meals for the week. That covers the eating now the most important part being active. At least raising your heart rate for a total of 60 minutes in a day. However if you are serious it is important to consider weight training and body weight exercises. That is because for every pound of muscle you gain you burn about 30-50 calories extra without even doing anything. I suggest you consult with a personal trainer, they can give you lots of information and significantly help you with your goals. Oh! Yeah! Did i mention the biggest thing is to create small goals that you know you can achieve and to be consistent, consistent, and did I say consistent with your work. Once you reach a goal you create another one. Since your having trouble I create a goal for you. This week I want you to at least look at the labels or nutrition info of foods you eat. Now I am not asking you to totally change your diet suddenly, but just be more conscious of what you are eating. Next I want you to increase your activity level by 30 minutes a day. Which means for ten minutes three times a day just go for a quick walk or do a quick hard session on your wii fit. I also want to look into seeing a personal trainer or signing up for the fitness newsletter for a fitness magazine. Newsletters a great because the send you free tips and simple exercises anyone can do at home or anywhere (p.s. try fitness magazine for women). Now be consistent for the one whole week and I think you will see a least some improvement. Now an example of what your next goal for the second week if you complete these for a whole week would be to increase your activity to 45 minutes so instead of 10 minute sessions do 15. See how easy this is. Anyways if you have any questions, just want to update me on how your doing, or just need some more encouragement then feel free to email me at smith.bruce70@yahoo.com. I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps on your start to a more healthy lifestyle :)
