    Eat a 40-30-30 diet like I do. Well, TRY to do, lol. It's high in protein and lower in carbs. Here is the book I use:

    Eat plenty of fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean protein (like chicken and fish). Also be sure to include healthy fats like nuts and olive oil. Hey, I lost 30 pounds before Christmas! Good luck!

    1. exercise for 30 minutes every day.
    try jogging or running on the tredmill or join a sport like baseball or soccer.

    2. stop eating/drinking anything with refined sugars or that is processed.
    sugers turn into fat. Sugars actually turn into fat quicker than other foods

    3. drink 64 oz. of water every day (this might be hard, but that is the amount u should aim to get every day)
    When a person is thirsty, the brain sends messages to your throat and stomach. Even though the throat might be trying to tell you that u r thirsty, the signals in the stomach are more noticeable. The stomach makes you feel hungry when you are actually thirsty sometimes. So, when u r hungry, u might be thirsty, so try drinking water first

    4. watch your calories
    aim to only eat about 2500 calories a day. One pound of fat is made up of 3500 calories. If you eat less than 2500 calories a day and only eat about 2000 calories a day. If you do this, you will lose about a pound a week

    To be more specific, you can…

    1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs

    more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of

    coffee to get the blood going also.

    2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don't have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already

    you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning

    hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.

    3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies,

    candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.

    4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why

    it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.
