pop some popcorn with a low amount of butter- technically it's a veggie. lol- and it's low in calories- sorry this is so late...

A lot of the foods that are high in calories are high in fat also. I also read that you should try to get 30 or less (10 ounces) of fat per day. As long as what you're eating is healthy (like fruits and vegetables) don't worry too much about the calories because it'l all good calories. Try to cut down on the "bad calories" like chips, french fries, fried foods.... and stay away from fast-food. (an arby's chicken snack is 32 grams of fat!!! phew)

well first of all i feel ur paini weight 163 lb. i want to weight 100 lb or less.but first of all what i did was stop eating snacks i mean like chips candy and junk food and start eating like a bananna os something. maybe u could even make a fruit smoothie with fruit ice yogurt or tofu and some juice and blend it in a blender a very healthy snack oh yea just add a little bit of sugar because the fruit already has some natural sugar in it. just eat one snack a day and that includes dessert so take my advise

Instead of chips or fries at lunch (wich are both full of fat, calories, and carbs) eat a salad or some carrot and celery sticks, fruit or even baked chips or fat free chips are better!

you can still eat at mcd. like instead of a bigmac and fries eat a salad or one hamburger. you could also get a chicken (grilled) sandwich without mayo. find what you want and then alter it to fit it into your diet.

don't bring money to school, that way you can't buy food from the vending machines (stick an apple or something healitju for if you get hungary after school. For lunch don't have any money in that account so you won't be tempted either- bring healthy stuff- a turkey sandwhich,veggies, fruit, water. Just take the temptations away. For exercise it doesn't have to take a long time, just jog for 20 min sometime.

Hey, one plan that has sort of been working for me is eating healthy food every other day. on the other days you can eat how you normally do, except you want to cut it all in half. hope i could help. email me at kbear512@hotmail.com with how your doing.

first of all, you are not stupid, and just because you can't help not eating some chips, it does not mean you are a bad person. Turn to ignore whatever food is placed in front of you, or have something else to eat instead. Instead of potato crisps/chips, have some air-popped popcorn and put something on it, like chili powder or cinnamon; something to give it flavour. You could also tell yourself that you can have 10 crisps or whatever if you go exercise for 20 minutes first. Usually after exercising you won't want to eat. And always remember "a moment on the lips, forever on the hips." Hope that helped.

cut up veggies and put them in the fridge for an easy grab. triscuits and nutrigrain bars are good too...

small changes in you diet can make huge changes in your body. a healthy diet is 75% of you weight loss. work with it first. remember serving sizes when you eat packaged foods and find natural and good foods you like to keep you from getting hungary between meals. plus lots of water! and watch that junk intake!!!

make it a life long thing. not that l;osing weight will take your whole life but be prepared to put quite a few months into it. you can start losing weight right away. it's in your power, exersize and eat right. eat nutritiously. eat foods with a lot of fiber and drink a lot of water, it'll clean out your stomach of things that shouldn't be there and will help you lose weight faster.
