Hi Kate,
I know it sounds simplistic, but just follow the food pyramid and drink lots of water. Unless you have a specific reaon for going on a diet, you’re much better off in the long run to just focus on healthy eating.

Very, Very overweight, Vet reccomended thyroid med for last 6 years, does not help, just offfice visits to take blood every two months and still the thyroid meds. (I’m Broke) I walk them twice a day 25 minuets each time, I feed them Iams Adult 1.5 cups in the AM and 1.5 cups in the PM, with warm water over it. Any suggestions ideas would be appreciated.
1. feed them less, I feed my dogs of similar size 1.5 cups once a day, and they are still slightly fat. they honestly don’t need that much food.
2. if that doesn’t work, you can sell them to a Fillipino market, dogs that big are premium! very nice!!!
GIVE ME A DIET PLAN WITH FOODS THAT WILL MAKE ME LOSE 20 POUNDS IN 5-6 WEEKS.
Try to follow 5-Factor Fitness. This plan includes an exercise program of 25 minutes, 5 times per week and a healthy eating plan which is made up of 5 meals per day. There is no counting of carbs or calories, just meals made up of healthy proteins, low glycemic carbs, lots of fiber and some healthy fats. Halle Berry follows it. Searh online for more details.
Hi!
I have found a great blog with a story of a woman who lost weight in a healthy and easy way. It was an eye-opener for me. I’ve tried it and I must admit that the results amazed me. I lost more than 30 pounds so far and I feel better than ever.
So, what is this diet about? Well, it teaches you how to stay healthy while losing weight. It is so easy when you know how to do it, and in a long run it shows much better results, because after other diets I’ve tried before you just get that fat back. The thing is, you have to eat a few times a day, not starve. Because when you are not eating, your body stores fat and it is much harder to lose weight. When you eat, and you know what and when and how, your body will know that there is food around so it won’t store fat – it will burn it!
Here are some hints from Betty’s blog:
1.The diet creates meal plans and recipes just for you.
2.You are able to eat a few times a day, which means that you are not starving yourself!
3.The diet is based upon calorie shifting and shows you what you are doing wrong. Betty Winter on her site explains it all.
4.What is most important, you are able to buy all the food in a local store. There is no need for some expensive fancy food that promises miracles, but does nothing at all.
5.It teaches you how to lose bad eating habits.
As I told you, this diet was an eye-opener and it works. With the proper guidance all the way through the diet, it is so easy and you can do it too. It can all be found online, as Betty describes.
Betty also gives FREE gifts to anyone who visit her site these days so be sure to check it out!
So, if you wish to learn more about this easy healthy diet, check Betty’s blog, it’s in my source. Good luck!
i’m trying to loose weight, and have been eliminating junk food from my daily diet. i started dieting on monday. anyway this is what i ate today..
breakfast:
zone balanced bar
snack:
half of avacado
lunch:
half sandwich with: turkey, black olives, crushed red pepper, black pepper, lettuce, and cranberry mayo
snack:
hummus with pretzels
dinner
other half of sandwhich
snack
hot cocoa
is it balanced? or is it too much/too little?
any help is greatly appreciated
I’m no dietician, but avacado is high in calories and watch out for the fat and calories in hot chocolate. Otherwise it sounds yummy and really skimpy. I would faint. Where are your greens, calcium, fruits?
Why not ask your Doctor, a nurse, healthy recipe books or online equivalents? There are thousands and thousands of them. Good luck.
What are some good diet foods that are healthy for a 1500 calorie a day diet? I really don’t like a lot of veggies, just a few….but I do like meat. Can you eat bread? I’m just not sure what to buy and I am on a budget so inexpensive foods also.
in the following tips u can find the things u want.
1)The very first thing u should keep in your mind and that is the extra weight u put on didn’t come in overnight so it is not possible and also unrealistic to take it off quickly. You have to show patience.
2)The 2nd important thing is that your body weight is controlled by the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day. So, if you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. You can do this by becoming more physically active or by eating less.
3)The 3rd important thing is never skip ur meal or go to a crash diet. Don’t ever try to starve urself. It is very important to understand that when you skip a meal or go on a crash diet, the result is that it slows your metabolism to conserve your energy. And when you lose weight too quickly for a few days, your body thinks it is threatened with starvation and goes into survival mode. It fights to conserve your fat stores. There fore keep in mind never try to skip ur meal, especially breakfast and always try to take food on time
4)Before starting any type of diet, weight yourself and note ur whole body measurement in a dairy. Then after every week weigh your self again and compare with earlier measurements and see how much weight u r losing. Record a goal that you can reach in one month that is 4 to 8 pounds less than you weigh now. Set a goal you know you can achieve.
Now some tips how to set ur diet plan.
5)Start taking your food with out any oil. Try to use boiled/steamed vegetables, meat, and lot of salad. U can eat fruits too and boiled/steamed chicken or red meat too but no pork. Please note and put it in ur mind that nothing fried or oily.
6)Try to chew ur every food for atleast 20 times. And then swallow it into ur stomach.
7)No Potato Please. It is strictly forbidden during this diet
8)No Junk Food Please.
9)Drink at least 3 ltr of water daily. Make ur habit to drink water as much as u can. Rather take a bottle of water with you all the time, when you feel starving, drink it as much as u can.
10)Make you habit to use brown bread.
11)use skimmed and low fat milk and yogurt
12)Sugar is strictly forbidden in this diet plan.
13)First try to avoid any type of soft drink but if u really wants to taste some thing sweet then drink any soft drink (but not cola), but just one glass once in a week.
14)Eat at least once in a day a vegetable soap or Thai soup ( as ur dinner or lunch), as much as u can but no corn flour in it.
15)Just look at your food portion. It is much better to eat several small meals a day (like 5-6 healthy meals a day) than eat either one or two or three huge meal a day.
16)if u feel hungry then divide ur diet into 5-6 healthy meals a day (1 plate size only)
17)one bowl of oatmeal can be taken as a break fast
18)No hard drink of any type is allowed in this diet.
19)Smoking strictly forbidden in this diet
20)Watch out ur every drink and every single piece of ur food. Stay away from fatty foods, junk foods, synthetic foods, foods with preservatives and too much carbohydrate. Don’t try to take foods that are made of white flour for example white bread, cakes, pasta etc and food contain sugar such as cookies, ice cream, candy etc.
21)Remember after every 15 days you can take once in a while with a little treat any thing u like. But remember just a small portion. For example one small personal pizza or one small burger or small pastry.
22)Try to adopt some healthy timing. Early to rise and early to bed. No late sittings.
23)People usually want Quick and Easy result, we all are impatient. You have to be patient in terms of your weight loss and never give up. Always keep in mind that slow and steady win the race.
24)At least take this diet for 3 to 6 months and when u feel that u have achieved your desired weight then make this is as a Life Style change for you entire life. Remember do not focus on just losing weight; try to concentrate on diet plan forever so that you will never have to loose weight again. But occasionally u can take other junk food too.
25) You have to keep in mind that above plan is a not a quick thin program. Don’t try to deceive ur body. It will destroy your metabolism and in the future the proportion of gaining weight is much higher and easier than today.
26)Never ever go for any type of Diet pills or any drug which claim that it will reduce the weight quickly. Taking Diet pills will kill.
27)Exercise: Rule-of -Thumb: remember the formula for weight loss and that is Diet= 70% Exercise= 30%. So remember exercise is must with every diet plan. Start your exercising slowly and gradually increase the intensity. Trying too hard at first can lead to injury. The best indoor exercise machine is tread mill. Run on tread mill for at least 30 mnts daily. Try to extend ur period for one hour. And if you don’t have this facility then best indoor Exercise is skipping.
I’ve been reading a lot about eating a raw food diet, and
i find a lot of what i read interesting–but wonder about the claims made that our bodies do better on raw food than cooked. If anyone has any conclusive scientific information
about it, i’d like to hear about it.
You should eat 80% of all your vegetables in the raw form. Cooking them cooks the nutrients out
Im trying to lose about 10 pounds.
What should i be eating everyday? Im not really sure whats healthy.
Usually i don’t have enough time for breakfast, but if i was to eat a yogurt or something would that be healthier ? Lunch i go to school so i get sometime from the cafeteria, or go out to eat. What are good healthy lunch ideas? And supper is usually just a basic, meat vegetables kinda thing.
What would be a good eating plan ?
10 pts if you list more then one food i can eat for that meal because i want to extend this diet for awhile, without eating the same thing everyday !
If it helps im 5′3 and 140 pounds.
and im 17
Good luck!! Here are some ideas for meals:
Breakfast:
40g granola, 100g non-fat greek yogurt, 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 cup bluberries
1 egg + 1 egg white scramble with mixed vegetables and a piece of wholegrain toast with 1 tsp vegan margarine
2 slices wholegrain toast with 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter. 1 cup fat-free green yogurt on the side with strawberries.
1/2 cup oats with 1.5 cups water – make oatmeal. Top with 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 chopped banana
Green smoothie with: 2 cups spinach, 1 cup rice or almond milk, 1 frozen banana – blend until smooth. You won’t be able to taste the spinach, trust me: I drink these every day and they’re the reason I feel amazing!
Lunch and dinner ideas:
Mary’s Organic Crackers with 1/4 cup plain hummus and 1 cup Amy’s chunky tomato bisque
A green salad with mixed veggies, goat cheese, homemade salad dressing {1 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp vinegar of your choice, 1/2 tsp mustard powder, 1 garlic clove – crushed} with a veggie burger on the side
A sandwich with: 2 slices wholegrain bread, lettuce, tomato, avocado, hummus and a bag of baked tortilla chips with salsa
‘Tacos’ with two taco shells filled with chickpeas {baked with taco seasoning}, lettuce, guacamole, salsa and chopped bell peppers
Homemade baked beans [recipe here: http://eatliverun.com/breakfast-recipes/homemade-baked-beans/] with wholegrain bread and a side green salad with mixed veggies and homemade dressing
Tortilla ‘pizza’ with one tortilla topped with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, mixed vegetables, chickpeas and served with a side salad
Lentil casserole, with lentils, water, a can of chopped tomatoes, curry paste, chopped potatoes and mixed vegetables. Cook until lentils are done and the casserole isn’t too watery.
Hope this helps!! My advice to you {this is what has worked for me} is get plenty of good fat, good protein and good grains in your diet. Leave out meat, dairy and other junk because it doesn’t contribute to weight loss and just tires out your body. Try to fill up on vegetables and fruit and make your meals really fun and interesting.
Search out recipe websites and try your hand at making new things.
As for exercise – don’t kill yourself. 30 minutes of walking a day, plus doing power yoga 3-5 times a week and lifting light weights is all you need to get toned and trim!
Good luck 
I’m doing a project and need to choose an alternative food diet (like fruitarian, raw food diet, etc) than the standard american one. Can anyone give me some ideas?
Thanks!
Vegen will be easiest
