Don't cut out all your carbs. Carbs are the main source of energy for your body and if you cut them out your body will burn your stored fat instead. Sounds great, huh? Well your body burning nothing but fat releases Ketones which are detrimental to your body and force it into an acidic state. It will also make you feel incredibly bad and less likely to exercise to lose that weight! Cut down carbs - yes Cut out carbs - No Losing weight isn't an easy overnight adventure. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment, but once you get going it becomes fun and you feel great! Exercise and eat healthy, haha.

My diet was horrible and stress from work was not helping. Tried several diets but the weight always came back. I've been able to lose nearly 30 pounds by taking it slow. First I cut out all fast food, haven't had it since August of last year. Second I joined a gym and started exercising 3-4 times per week. Next I continued to improve my diet by replacing carbs with lean meats/protein and I cut out the sugar. However, I have not eliminated any foods just exercised extreme moderation. This really helps with cravings and slowly the cravings go away. I would much rather have a cup of fresh fruit over a candy bar or french fries. 3 months ago I suffered a fairly serious knee injury which has kept me from doing anything other than walking however the weight has not come back due to my eating habits.

This helps you overcome inertia and become comfortable with the exercise as a routine, it is SO much easier to start in on a formal exercise plan.

When I was trying to take off all kinds of weight, I just asked myself, when I was hungry, if it was because my body really needed it or if it was just because I wanted to fill my tummy. A lot of the "common sense" things like not eating candy or chips just stemmed naturally from this. I still ate crap, but when I got it down to what I "needed" I realized that those pounds of nougat weren't so satisfying. My tip is to listen to yourself.
