[quote=Anonymous]Stop counting calories, OP!! That's the worst way to lose weight.

Get yourself a notebook, and write down every single thing you eat every day for a week.

Look at what you are eating. Stop ALL processed foods and ALL sugar. Go cold turkey on both.

Get outside and take a 15 minute walk 3-5 days a week. You need to get your body used to exercising, so much so that you will crave exercise, even that 15 minutes, if you don't exercise for more than two days.

Buy only natural, preferably organic foods. Shop at Whole Foods, Wegman's natural foods aisles, MOM's, Trader Joe's for organic and natural foods, nothing processed, nothing with artificial ingredients, nothing with added sugar.

Cook! Simple meals if you haven't a lot of time, but cook your own. Don't eat takeout or frozen pizza. Get your DH to cook.

Limit your diet to lean grass-fed protein, lots of organic fruits and vegetables (frozen are fine), healthy fats (olive, coconut oils, organic canola oil), nuts, seeds, limit dairy and grains as much as possible. Limit alcohol to one glass of beer/wine a day.

Have a sweet desert once a week, that's all.

You will never lose weight by dieting, OP. It always comes right back on when you go off your "diet." But if you make permanent changes in your diet, you'll see the weight come off. Combine it with regular, moderate exercise, and you will lose weight.

DO NOT limit your calories to 1000 per day!! That's insane. Counting calories is worthless. Some calories are great for you (nuts, seeds), and others are horrible (trans fats, for example). It's what you eat that matters.

Now go walk around the block a couple times, and you're done exercising for today! [/quote]
