OK my jeans are a little snug or not as loose as they were before the holiday season. What are some diet tips besides starving and/or buying bigger jeans? I have heard of so many options but what has helped you shed 10 lbs. effortlessly?

You should begin to replace some of the unhealtheir foods you eat, with water or gum.
You should drink orange juice, and fruits.
You should definetly exercise, try doing 200-400 sit ups a day. If it's possible, tyr running.

If you have hangons( you know the thing by the side of your stomach which you can basically grab), you should lie on the floor, turn your knees only to the side and then try doing sit-ups this way.

Try swimming. Try not to eat too much sugar,salt.
Put on your favorite dance record,movie,video,etc. and shake that ass!

Try replacing the animal products in your diet with lower-fat fakes. Many of them taste just about as good (try Morningstar and Boca products for 'meats', and Tofutti and White Wave products for 'dairy') and have fewer calories. That alone should loosen up those jeans a little.

Of course, it would be healthier to replace the animal products with fresh fruits and veggies, but you said you were looking for 'effortless'.

For gawds sake, don't go the protein diet route (Atkins et al). They are effective in causing weight loss, but they are unhealthy and unsustainable in the long term, so you will just gain the weight back and more, and prolly damage your heart and kidneys in the process.

Just start trimming off limbs, or at least parts of your limbs.

People dont realise that I sit here and type on the org with just my tongue as I have no arms or legs.

The good news is that I still weigh the same as I did when I was 18!

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

change from pop/soda to water...change from white bread to whole wheat...or just learn to love yourself like u are (easier said than done), just continually chant this mantra..."i love my body, i am beautiful, i am well proportioned, i am sooo sexy, people envy me i have such a great physique" and don't mind when people glance at you sideways on the city bus, ignore them...they're jealous. hell, don't even panic when they carry you away in a straight jacket to the institution...at least you know you'll lose 10 pounds there...the food sucks...


good luck!!!



don't mind me...i'm just hungry!

Watwr water water. Water carries fat out of the body.

Eat small healthy meals 4-6 a day.

Eat complex carbos sparingly (potatoes, paste, etc...)

Drink coffee or tea (caffiene) before exercise. Studies have shown that u work out longer once ur heart rate is up.

This tends to work well for me, but everyone is different!

Good luck!
