How to lose weight???

[Louise1234]

Hi I am 17 years old and am just trying to lose some weight which I seem to have put on over the last year. I have had a look at diets etc on the web but I am a fussy eater and have not seen any which include things I would consider eating! Does anyone have an ideas???
Thanks

my partner and i said that after the new year we were losing weight. my partner has lost 14 pounds since 2nd january. the one thing he has cut out is bread. so if you eat a lot of bread then stop. we now have

breakfast

cereals with skimmed milk

lunch

salad with cheese
ham
pasta
egg
a yoghurt

dinner

any sort of meat, fresh is best
we have
fresh chicken with rice
chilli with jacket potato
pasta
fish

we have just cut out all the rubbish

even fussy eaters can lose weight.

Simple equation. Eat less calories than you burn off = weight loss

exercise to burn off the calories.

And perhaps try not to be so fussy, you do say what you are fussy about but you can disguise the taste of veggies etc

Just eat healthy, dont diet cos you'll gain the weight again when you stop. you just need to adopt a healthy eating regime.

What does your typical diet include at the minute? i.e. breakfast lunch dinner?

It might be worth keeping a food diary so you can see what your actually eating do it for a week then you'll have an idea of just how healthy you are and more idea of what to cut out.

eating healthy food and getting daily exercise, What kinds of foods are you only eating at the moment?

Following diets is a pain! Just make a conscious effort to eat healthier and move a bit more! It doesn't have to be a regimented chore. I've dropped 4 dress sizes in the past 12 - 18 months (now 8, was 16)
I changed jobs from an office (sitting on my bum!) to a shop (mainly on my feet) and as my new job is more local to home, I don't have to rely on pre-packed sandwiches, pasties etc. for lunch. I make all of my food (no ready meals), and very rarely eat take away.
I still have curries, chillies, pasta etc. and have a roast dinner every sunday. I like a drink, have the occasional bag of crisps/nuts and never, ever, EVER go the the gym. It really can be as easy as making little changes to your routine - if I'd have known, I would have done it years ago!
