Going on a diet.. Need ideas

[ChainLightning]

k, I eat quite a bit of junk food and i hardly get excersise.. (take the **** if you want) and I was thinking of going on a diet, so any ideas on what foods to take out of the diet and what foods to include in my diet? Also any good excersises I could do which can burn off my belly quite fast:P?
(Nothing too hardcore pls) :D

Well, first question, what foods do you regulary eat?

excerises, simple 1 is just stepping up and down some stairs (if you have any), then after a while just do some stretches, every little helps ;)
But there's not many ways of burning a belly really quick, unless you become a health freak or start having a eating disorder (I think they're the only ways - and I wouldn't advise them either).

Smaller portions. Limit the amount of calories you eat a day. I suggest you keep a notebook of what you eat each day from breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks & then since you have a limit of calories a day, add up all your calories. For each extra calorie do some sort of exercise. Umm, also, you should weigh yourself at the end of each week to see your progress. This should be very helpful. I hope you succeed in your diet. Good luck, all the best <3

Oh yeah, lots of exercise. No relapses back to junk food.

Stay off the junkfood, its bad for you anyway...
Excersise doesnt have to be boring... Go swimming, ride your bike, race your friends, play football.

As for foods, eat 5 fruit / veg a day.

And don't forget to eat Bread and other cereals and potatoes... Milk and dairy products, meat and fish etc etc etc... Don't forget you NEED fat and salt in your diet... Just limit the ammount you put into yourself, and limit your intake of calories.

Don't go on a diet for gaaaawd sake. Just eat healthier and exercise. Eat as much as you want but eat less sugar and fat full foods.

you dont have to stop eating fatty foods- just dont eat so much of it.

Theres so much you can do...but in little time is not really possible to loose alot of weight. I have been a healthy person for about 1 year now, and now I see my results. I suggest that you start off doing sit ups in groups of 30 maybe 3 times a day, then 40 etc. I also suggest you drink alot of water and avoid fizzy drinks. Eat pleanty of freah fruit and veg.....just basicly start of slow so you don't get to think you're not loosing enough weight in little time...as that can lead to eating dissorders..

There are lots of meanings of the word diet. ( Im doing a paper on it )

To stay healthy you need to make sure that you eat atleast 1 portion that contains each of the following :


Minerals
Protein
Water
Fruit & Veg
Vitamins
Fat
Dairy Products
Meat & Fish


Making sure you take the amount of it into consideration.

To burn of your stomach fat quite quikly you can do sit ups. Start of with say like 10. Then every week gradually raise the numbers.

If you stick to what your eating properly and do some running and stuff you should become slimmer.

But dont expect it to happen in one day or 1 week. It takes time :P

Good luck x

i think the best solution would be to stop eating crap and start going to the gym.

the key to a good diet is lard...
...lots of lard!

[.:Normal...]

The fastest way to burn off belly fat is to do crunches. Don't eat junk food, as my grandma would say, eat "alive" food xD (She's Italian) eat veggies and fruits. If you are looking to get abs eat a lots of protein but you have to make sure you exercise as well otherwise that protein will easily turn into fat.
