fruits and vegtables, lean meats (chicken, fish, etc.)

Avoid Fried foods and/or foods high in sugar (desserts, soda,etc.)

Eat smaller meals (at least 4 a day)

Smoke a lot of crack, you'll completely forget about eating! A week later, you'll think..."Hey, I lost 15 pounds! Oh wait...I haven't eaten since last Tuesday...thats probably not a good thing."

No junk food
No take away
No greasy food (fried etc)
No soft drink
No snacks/sweets

Walk everywhere and get regular exercise. After a few months you won't miss eating junk food at all. I'm not overweight, but I stopped eating junk food and soft drink to stay healthy and now I can't stand the taste of them. Soft drink is seriously disgusting once you get off it. You can taste all the artificial crap in coke.

I lost 15 pounds just by not drinking pop. I once weighed in at about 230 was my max. I now weigh about 190. I have not been working out much lately and i dont really watch what i eat but i dont gain weight i stay about the same for the most part. Last summer i walked about 3-5 miles a day.

Become an alcoholic, I swear I lost like 20 pounds in a couple months when I drank like crazy. lol

But seriously, don't do that, drinking is bad. >_>

I would just stay away from high calorie stuff, fatty stuff, the usual. Try to eat lots of veggies and fruits. I'm no expert on the subject but I think it's pretty obvious right off the bat what stuff should be avoided.

This dude is 100% right. I just tried some Coca-Cola after a year of not having any and it's just horrible. I don't know why I drank so much of it a few years ago.

But in all seriousness, it doesn't always matter what you eat as long as you exercise. Drink plenty of water and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables but aside from that, you can eat anything you want to.

I used to do that when I played soccer/football a lot. I was really tone and slim, but as soon as I stopped playing soccer, I started gaining weight, although my diet remained the same.

What he said, only eat twice as much veggies, fruit, and meat as normal, drop all carbohydrates and sugars, and eat more frequently. No soda at all - not even diet - goes a long way.

Its more or less watching calories. If you want to lose weight quickly, cut your caloric intake to around 1000 calories a day. Its all about calories. I mean you could eat one double cheeseburger and coke a day, but thats all you could eat. But I mean if you stuck to Flax Wraps(lettuce, onion, fat free cheese), some fruits(melon, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, blackberries), and just about all vegetables...stick to that, and you should be able to drop 3-5 pounds...though I assume you are somewhat overweight. I mean if you stick to fruits and veggies and the low calorie breads, you can totally eat alot without worrying about going over 1000 calories, but if you eat mcdonalds, you can lose weight, but you can have 1 double cheeseburger a day and thats about it... If you want to lose weight and you are 6 feet tall and only 135 lbs...its going to be harder to lose weight by only taking in 1000 calories a day...

Well I used to Weigh something around 270 this time last year. Was frigging rediculous. So I just Started eating less crap, and excersising more and I'm now about 196, since a couple months ago. Ive gotte n a bit complacent with it recently, so Ive slackened off, and I'm gonna keep working on it till I'm like 175 . But this s how I did it. Complicated, but worth it, and its not following some awful fad diet either..

First off, Find your BMR (Basal Metabolic rate), which is how any calories a day your body burns naturally, through breathing and heartbeats etc, then eat less amount of calories than that a day. To put on or burn a pound, you must eat, or burn off around 3500 calories respectively. Therefore, having a total calorie intake of 500 calories LESS than your BMR, a day, will result in one pound lost in a week (500 x 7 = 3500 calories burnt off = a pound.), so 1000 calories less than your BMR a day = 2 pounds lost per week. Etc etc.

Longest post I've ever written I think, haha.
