Snack on vegetables along the day. To make it easier cut up some cucumber and carrot sticks which you can take from.
For dinner have half of your plate contain of salad or steamed vegetables, a quarter of meat, poultry or fish, and the last quarter of potatoes, rice or pasta.
Do eat sweets once in a while, as it's better than craving and suddenly going crazy and having the worlds largest chocolate feast.
And of course, eat less than you burn off. Which means, go out for walks or something.
If she has a favourite cheese, or can only drink coffee with a certain kind of milk then it's understandable, but I mean she can't prefer all of the dairies.
Then, instead of using sugar, buy Splenda Sweeteners...
Also, eat as much fruit and veg as possible, and as LITTLE bread, potato, rice, pasta as possible - carbs put weight on.
Stick to low fat meals, and if you get uber desperate for something sweet, Marks n Spencers do a lovely low fat chocolate muffin desert in their 'count on us' range. Marks is awesome for low fat salad dressings too...
I've been 'dieting' since I was 12, and the only 'diet' I like was weightwatchers... but, try what I've suggested! It worked for me!

Too much food puts weight on. Carbohydrates are not inherently evil.
Cutting out carbs or cutting down on carbs is a well known weightloss technique.

That will not help someone who wants to lose weight.
Go to your room, your not getting any supper for a week now for ya cheek..
If anyone is feeling charitable and has a stone or two they wanna get rid of i`ll be more then willing to take it for free or in exchange for money/sexual favours (if female)
I`m in need of it, my metabolism is too damn good to make me put any weight on but i suppose everyone thinks thats great. There is definitely more help out there for people wanting to shift the pounds opposed to wanting to put weight on i reckon.
Hellfire if you got the money and time to spare you could join a gym. You`d have experts there who could advise you and your notice the difference physically if you keep going a few times a week.
Sometimes it's better to do it a day at a time. Then if you slip up, you don't think, 'bollocks I've fucked up my whole week' and you can just start over the next day.
This may not seem like a good example, but when my dad quit smoking, that's what he did. He took it a day at a time, and if he slipped up one day, it didn't matter, because it was just one day in the big scheme of things. He just thought 'I'm not gonna have a cigarette today' and it worked, and he hasn't had one since before we were born.
What exactly do you want us to do? How about stop fucking eating as much?
girls is supposed to be no less that 1500 a day (unless you're really small and really inactive). Guys shouldn't be less than 1800 a day.
if you eat too little, your body will go into starvation mode, and cling on to every last calorie.
eat regularly, eat healthy, fresh food, and drink loads of water. it's better to have 5 little meals than 3 big ones.
exercise doesn't have to be strenous, or at the gym. go for a 20 minute walk every day, and you will notice a difference. walk to the shops, walk to a mate's house, whatever.
I wouldnt lose any weight on 1500 a day.
no, maintaining a weight is 2000 for your average female, and 2500 for your average male.
we need a lot more calories than we think we do. the trick is to get them from healthy foods.
like a banana has something like 120 calories, which is the same as 3 chocolate biscuits, but the banana has no saturated fats, and is loaded with nutrients.
it's all about eating well, and eating the right things.
Hear Hear?? What are we..? At a Boardmeeting? :eek2:
Always have plenty of fruit and nuts in ya. Replace your regular drinks with water. If you're going to have snacks try to take them during the day rather than night time.
Stay away from crisps and biscuits as they always weigh ya down. I always fing if you're going to have a treat, have a bit of chocolate or a lolly pop.
Ooo and most importantly always make sure you have a breakfast every morning. Preferably bran flakes or something like that as you need fibre in ya to... how'd ya put it... ahhh hell, to make sure you poo at least once a day as thats always a sign your eating right.
To tone yourself up. Only way to do that is to actually exercise.
Easiest, quickest way to give ya a good looking bod. Is sit-ups. I mean, ya see guys with 6 packs and ya think he would be fit. When really that's the easiest thing to get. So long as you do 20 sit-ups a day properly with your arms crossed on ur chest... control your diet and your abs will show through in no time
Bran Flakes are a great thing to integrate into your diet, as yes they contain dietary fibre and do bulk out your poop
The advice given about low fat dairy is advice you'd be very wise to follow. I don't drink skimmed milk however, because I think it's vile and doesn't taste like milk, so what's the point. It's the green top for me all the way...all the taste of full fat and far fewer cals. Of course it's great for calcium too. Butter is a downfall of many people, if you don't already then exchange your butter for a low fat spread, doesn't taste as good but it's fine and you have to make sacrifices. Yogurts are great and you can get low-fat ones which taste lovely and are good for snacks and desserts. It's also a good idea to get the probiotics as they aid digestion (they work, it's not just spin!!)
As for eating three meals versus eating more regularly in smaller portions, personally I like my three largish meals a day. I just space them out well, eat a balanced meal and always make sure I get my 5 fruit and veg at least. For snacks I eat raisins, sunflower seeds, any fruit I can get my hands on, cereal bars (Go Ahead Sultana and Apple - I think - is heavenly) and yogurts. At least once a week I have a normal size bar of choccie...more recently it's been organic, dark...which is said to have benefits...but as long as you limit the amount and frequency, chocolate and sweets don't do you any harm. I also loooove Squares crisps and won't be without them at least once a week.
It really is all about balance and getting the right nutrients and types of food into your body, as kaffrin wisely said.
As many have said before me, water is imperative. I'd say drink 8-10 average size glasses throughout your day, starting early because if you guzzle them all at 8pm you'll wet the bed
Take baby steps at first. Eat well, get any kind of exercise you can, take your vitamins and get lots of sleep. Weight loss and/or a hot bod shouldn't be your main goal..it should be a healthier, happier you...and with the fab advice you've been given, you've got no excuse!!
Good luck!
You're not going to lose weight just by eating healthily though, you're going to need to exercise too. Go for a walk down the road, or a jog if you're feeling more eneretic. Perhaps a bike-ride with some friends on a nice day, and try a few sit-ups etc. Nothing too strenuous to begin with.
Oh yeh, and water makes all the difference. Put some tap water in a bottle/jug with a slice of lemon and keep it in the fridge, that way whenever you're thirsty just o and pou yourself a lass of cold water: Refreshing and healthy :thumb:
Note to self: If only I could take my own advice
