Hi everbody. Well, I have a lot of tips, but I have one that I will tell everyone is the most important. WATER!!!!!!!!!!! You are made up of water and you need it survive. If you don't drink enough water it could lead to headaches, stomachaches, dehydration, and feeling all around icky. That's not the only reason I brought it up. Water is a great dieting tool. If you drink a big glass of water 10 minutes before you eat, it will fill you up and help you eat less. It will also balance out the food so you won't be so bloated after a large dinner because the water will digest fast. In other words, it will take up space you would cram with extra food. Water is also the best replacement for pop and juice containing 0 calories! It also cleans out toxins in your body such as caffine which can drag you down. I highly recomend drinking at least 5 glasses of water a day. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel. Good luck to all of you!

That is so true! There are some other benefits of cutting out caffeine too. I am not sure about this, but I heard that it slows down the digestion of foods, and slows down the burning of calories. You can actually become addicted to caffeine also!
