[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut out sugar.
Cut out processed carbs, including (and/or esp) cereal, oatmeal, bread.  Replace with eggs for breakfast, lean protein for lunch and dinner.  Eat green leafy vegg, and for fruit, limited amounts of berries and cantaloupe (lower sugar fruits).  Limit dairy intake, but use full fat.  
Decrease or eliminate alcohol--it's a sugar.  If you must drink, drink clear liquor (gin, vodka, tequila) and mix with seltzer, water, or nothing.

Quite effective and quick.

Don't juice or do smoothies, blending it destroys the sensation of chewing and cuts down the satiety of the food while giving you more calories.  That whole fad is dumb.[/quote]

+1, cut out all processed foods. also read labels and avoid foods with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) you will be amazed at the various foods that have this ingredient.... you have to play around to see what helps your individual body to lose wait. I have PCOS & I cant process sugar/carbs very well. I can gain 5 pounds overnight with certain carb intake. I can easily lose 10lbs in a week with limiting my carbs as well...so I limit my carbs to oatmeal for breakfast & half portion sizes for lunch & dinner. snack are typically a fat & protein, Ill occasionally have fruit & protein depending on days activities.[/quote]

Everyone can gain 5 lbs overnight eating lots of carbs or lose 5 lbs overnight not eating carbs.  It’s water weight from storing sugar as glycogen in your muscles/liver and has nothing to do with fat gain/loss. Weight fluctuations like this are normal.[/quote]
This is another example of how DCUM dieters know nothing about how nutrition works. PP is correct - carbs make you hold water because of the glycogen. This isn't true weight in terms of fat loss or gain. [/quote]

When you cut out carbs, you see the short term results of not being bloated from water retention. Dropping 5 pounds of water bloat does look and feel better in my opinion.

If you continue to cut carbs your body will be forced to tap its own energy reserves (burn fat) instead of relying on the quick blood sugar highs of simple carbs.  You will lose "real" weight.  I've done it.

Eating a western omelet for breakfast instead of pastries or sugary cereals will leave you feeling full longer.  When you do get hungry, it won't be the shaky hunger caused by blood sugar lows where you need something, anything NOW.  You will wind up making better food choices in general when you go low carb.[/quote]
