MY 6 Tips:
1.If your are hungry eat....snacking is not bad. It is what you snack on that may be bad. If you don't know what a good snack for you is ask someone who might be able to help you.
2.Portion control....eat single servings (take the time to measure) and remember you DON'T have to clean your plate!If you get that satisfied feeling stop and remind yourself you will be eating in a few hours (you aren't storing for winter)
3.Read labels....added ingredients in products that aren't all natural tend to shoot up certain nutritional facts. Especially carbs and sodium.
4.Watch sodium intake....although not a hidden ingredient people tend to over look it's daily intake and can cause bloating or water retention. Also it is not good for you to intake a lot of sodium in general.I try to stay at 1500 a day.
5.Do a little exercise.If you cant walk,jog, or run....buy a few 5lb weights and start lifting them while you watch TV or leg weights to do daily activities. You need your weight loss to be fat not muscle.
6.This is no over night miracle it will take time for your body to metabolize the fuel you are giving it and how you may or may not be using it. You are essentially detoxing and retraining your whole body.

It's not that I want to be skinny....it's just that I want to be healthy! I am 35 and over weight...OBESE....I sit in an 18 wheeler beside my fiance all day long and never get any exercise. I love food but I hate being fat. I plan on losing weight and running again. I miss running. I feel as if I don't pull it together I will get diabetes if I don't already have it. Last time I lost 30 lbs and quit and gained 70+ the 30. I have quit drinking and smoking in preparation for this diet. This time is for LIFE!
