Message: <blockquote data-quote="fly2cast" data-source="post: 42404" data-attributes="member: 656">I'll give you what I believe is the best advice for losing weight which you won't find in any stupid book.1.  It's all about calories and you need to know how to count them.  Stay below 2000 a day or better yet 1800.2.  I don't care what your friends say, exercise will not help you lose much weight. Many studies have verified this. I'm a believer that if a diet is too hard you won't stick to it.  And working your ass off exercising will only make you frustrated and you will give up easier.3.  Get rid of the sugar in your diet.  Soda and juice are so bad for this.  It takes about 2 weeks for that sugar craving to go away.4.  Get rid of the booze.  Sorry.  This was really tough for me too.  The problem is not so much the calories in the booze. It's the stupid shit we do when we drink.  We eat a lot more and get hungry when we drink.5.  Weigh yourself every day.  You need to see the progress.6.  Don't get discouraged about not losing weight fast enough.  Some days you may see an increase in weight.  Remember if you eat something salty you will retain water 24 hours later which will show up as a weight gain.7.  If you are not losing weight, you really have to evaluate why not. Be honest with yourself.8.  An easy way to determine if you shouldn't eat something that will contribute to your calories is check the grams are per serving.  If the amount of calories is less than the amount of grams per serving, you can eat a lot of that.  For example a serving of breakfast cereal is usually around 30 grams.  The amount of calories is about 115.  Thats more than 3 times more calories than grams.  You can eat it but the calories will add up faster.  Instead for breakfast eat eggs and fruit which will be more food for less calories.9.  Don't let your friends tell you to cut out carbs.  That's just stupid.  Cutting carbs can work if you stick to the Atkins diet religiously. Otherwise cutting some carbs here are there doesn't do shit.10.  Great foods for diets that actually taste good:  eggs, baked potatoes, apples (or any fruit and vegetable), fish, and chicken. 11.  There is nothing magic about losing weight.  It's just tough as hell.  You will have to modify your eating and eating habits which really means you have to change your lifestyle.  12.  Try to stick to losing at least 2 pounds per week.  You might be able to do more because of your weight but as you get thinner, those 2 pounds per week get hard.12.  I'll bet you $10 you can't lose 50 pounds by August 1.  Let me know if you want to take the bet.Good luck.</blockquote>
