I am 5′4" and 155 lbs. I’m trying to lose about 30 pounds. I’m in fitness class but diet is ruining my weight loss. What should I eat to lose weight?

Here is what I would recommend to see alot of results in a healthy and realistic time:

1. Don’t starve yourself because it’s unhealthy and does more damage than good
2. Eat 4 - 6 small meals a day. Make them consist of healthy things like a yogurt and a granola bar for one, some fruit for another, a sandwich for another, etc….etc…
3. Do at least 20 minutes of cardio everyday. Cardio is the best way to get your metabolism running fast, burning calories and fat.
4. Drink plenty of water. At least 6 - 8 glasses a day, and green tea is nice too, but no soda or juice!!!
5. Eat more fruits and vegetables and foods high in fiber.
6. Eat lean meats like chicken breast, turkey and fish. Or if you’re a vegetarian, eat moderate proportions of nuts and peanut butter and beans. Great sources of protein, but not actual meat.
7. Cut out all the bad fats, like greasy fast food, chips, red meat….etc….etc….
8. Play the Wiifit for a half hour or so daily
9. Get plenty of sleep. You burn about 90 calories every hour of sleep.
10. Chew gum. It helps with sweet cravings and if you’re busy chewing something, you won’t eat as much.
11. Do NOT eat while you are out, but instead make sure you eat something healthy at home where you can track the calories.
12. Keep track of what you eat daily. This helps alot! Every little calorie adds up!!
13. Eat something you really really wanna, rather it’s a cookie or a candy bar, once a week. You’re more likely to follow the diet if you don’t cut out everything you like. Just remember: moderation is the KEY.
14. Be less paranoid and concerned, cause unless you’re like 4′8" or something, that isn’t too much weight, really.
15. Just think about being fit and healthy and happy with yourself! If you just try at this for a while, you’ll get where you wanna and you’ll be totally happy you did it!!

Now here are some effective things to do for cardio:

1. Jogging
2. Riding a bike, rather it’s an exercise bike or just a bike
3. Swimming
4. Stair walking
5. Jumping jacks
6. Oblique twists

If you starve yourself, your body will store everything you eat, even if it’s very very little, as fat on you, which isn’t a good way to lose some weight.

Soda has alot of sugar and carbs in it, which is really bad for you. Now, if you drink diet soda, it’s a bit better, but the artificial sweetener in it toys with your metabolism, so I don’t suggest it. But green tea has natural herbs and vitamins that gives you more energy so you can be more active, and it also naturally increases your metabolism.

Fiber is really good because it keeps you fuller longer, so you might not eat as much.

Now here are some other odds and ends that you can do to burn some extra calories:

1. Lightly tap your foot on the floor or shake it a little. People do that all the time, but it actually burns calories. So if you’re ever stuck sitting, like school or something, do that and it’ll help ALOT.
2. Instead of sitting around when you’re talking to someone on the phone, get up and walk around with it, or just walk around when there is nothing else to do. It helps, walking is great exercise.
3. Instead of watching TV or something, do some house work, Scrub the walls, sweep the floor, something like that. It helps alot too!!
4. And in your spare time, hula-hoop or dance. That burns alot of calories and tones muscle as well.

Well, that’s all I can think of!!

Hope I helped, and good luck!!
