This is what I did and it worked for me.

slimfast I only use for my snacks sometimes and not everyday,never a full blown meal,unless,your in a hurry and don't have time to eat. I also use protein shakes for snacks sometimes two a day in the morning and the evening.

Protein also works to keep you filled up longer. spoon full of peanut butter, boiled eggs,fatfree blueberry yogurt mixed in w/1/2 cup cottage cheese,tuna plain.

All of these foods are proteins and are good for you.

I would be eating several small meals a day. 5 to 6 small meals a day, Every two to three hours at 200-225 calories a pop. The idea is to keep the metabolism going all day by giving your body a continous amount of fuel to burn. I aimed for 1200 and tried to not go below 1000 or your body will go into starvation mode.

Which means it will think there is no more food to eat and will hold on to any calories longer and your progress will slow down. In other word you have to eat to lose,ha,who would have figured.

Add protein to all your meals and snackes it will keep you filled up longer and less likely to cheat. Drink a minimum of 2 liters water a day which is roughly 66oz's. I would like to see myself at 4 liters 120oz's a day. I hd to build myself up to it. I know water.Blehhhhh!!!!


That would be one gallon a day. One gallon a day will not do you any harm. Just make sure you have a bathroom nearby and your able to use when you n e ed to.lol

Keep a food journal here,home,both or where ever. Keep track of foods,how much,and calories for the day,exercise if any,how long,calories burned,water intake,how much for the day.

Preplan your meals ahead of time,wright it all out for the week,pick a day to go shop, like sunday is a good day. Make sure you ate before you go grocery shopping,less likely to buy junk food if your not hungry.

I hate to say this but throw out the soda and forget about the coffee. It's all bad for you anyways, All I drink is water and skim milk. Did you know caffeine makes you feel hungrier.
