Ht. 5'5", Wt. 210 - I just need someone to advise me on what to eat.I need no help with exercise because that is very easy for me. I'm very muscular, so my weight doesn't fit how I look, but I am still way to overweight. If someone could like just advise me on what to eat, like someone who has lost weight, I don't want tips, I want more. Like a personal chef who don't fix ya nothin, they just tell you what's good and what's not, etc. If you're interested and willing to help me out, and actually help me out, leave your email and I'll get in touch with you about helping me out.Remember, I don't just want tips. I want sort of like a weight loss buddy, who has already lost the weight, and can just be an advisor to me.Thanks.Also, if you're not actually going to help me, don't say you will. I had this trouble with my last post.

Like switch to 1% milk and then work your way down to skim milk, use 50% light cheese, fat free mayonnaise (I prefer fat free miracle whip. It has more flavor) and stuff like that. Don’t eat a lot of butter. Try using Butter Buds which are butter flavored granulates. You can find them in the seasonings section at the store. Eat high in fiber foods like whole wheat bread instead of white. Instead of eating regular pizza try frozen smartones or south beach diet pizzas. And instead of ice cream try south beach diet cookies and weightwatchers ice cream bars, weight watchers cake, healthy choice ice cream, no pudge ice cream bars, or skinny cow ice cream bars. They have a lot of desserts out there that aren’t that bad for you! Some things I find helpful is to eat a small salad with fat free dressing with lunch and dinner. It makes you more full when you go to eat your main meal. Don't eat too many sweets. Make sure you don't have soda or chips on a regular basis. Eat LOTS of fruits and vegetables. And drink A LOT of water! Exercise daily. You can walk, or you can run, or ride your bike, or swim. Whatever you choose to do make sure you exercise for at least an hour daily. If you want you can just walk for thrity minutes and then swim for a little while and then just do outside play like jumping on a trampoline or playing basketball. weigh yourself every week and keep track of your weight. if you feel like snacking try drinking flavored water to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pay attention to portion sizes. If the serving size is one cup, don't have more than one cup. Portion sizes are one of the most important things in dieting. And remember to have faith in yourself. If you get yourself down it'll be ten times harder. And also remember to let go every once in a while and eat something that isn't in your diet! Good luck!
