Try going on a diet with just meat and vegetables and eggs and yoghurt etc. Stick with unprocessed foods and try avoiding flour. You may have much better results.

It's true I don't have a lot of weight to lose, I'm 160cm tall and weigh just under 60 kilos but all the fat I seem to have gained over the years has gone straight to my stomach and I am really getting desperate to lose it, so I just need to get rid of a few kilos in the near future so I can enjoy my holiday, though I am comitted to keeping up a generally healthier lifestyle after that.. it's not that hard eating healthy and exercising a bit as I've discovered! Water retention is a possibility because my stomach is disproportionately large, but how do you get rid of it?? I've been trying to drink 6 - 8 cups of water as recommended but after two days of constantly running to the bathroom to pee I couldn't handle it anymore!! And I don't know what else there is to it... Thanks for the prompt reply Liz, your site is a great help.

Try doing shorter exercise at a much harder rate (so you are really panting and your HR is high). Do that a couple times a day if you can and see if it helps.

I've been on a diet for the last three weeks, though only started exercising in the last week, and I haven't lost a gram! Is that normal at all? Even if my exercise is only light/moderate there is still no way I eat more than 1500 cals a day.. “The first 2 weeks of any diet you will drop a much larger amount of weight than any other week”

After a few weeks you willknow most of your usual foods off by heart. By law food packets in NZ have to have the energy content of foods on them, so check packets. If it doesn't have calories them it will have kilojoules. Divide kj by 4.2 to get the calories Create yourself a login at fitday.com or use some other calorie counting software.

Green tea is natural and even mint leaves, i dont believe in carb free diets as your denying your body key elements of nutrition that it needs, them if you each even a chip you'll put it all beack on again.....

Doesnt always work for some who just dont like eating breakfast though. What works for one doesnt always work for another due to habits, lifestyle etc. If a person can only eat 1 egg for breakfast then that's great. If they can only manage an apple or something tiny, thats fine also. The main thing is you need to do whatever works for YOU, so long as it isn't wildly stupid. And if you are able to eat a great diet, and healthy breakfast then thats even better, and will no doubt help you more! Yep, it is true.

Also, protein suppresses appetite. Didn’t the National Weight Loss Registry show that most long term weight losers ate breakfast? Also, protein suppresses appetite.
