text: anybody got an easy-to-follow diet plan for somebody losing weight?   eat healthy foods and smaller portions, plus do some exercising.  bike riding is good for an all around workout.  you can also use free-weights.  a cheap alternative is a resistance band and exercise ball.  eating healthy is a big one.  also, cut down on soda and coffee.  try to replace it with water or 100% juice on occassion.  you can still have your one coffee or soda in the morning, but for the rest of the day try to drink water.  a good diet is always just a combo of eating right and exercising.  try to pack a snack for yourself during the day... and pack your lunch rather than eating out.  try some small pretzel sticks or an apple as a snack.  don't skip breaktfast because it will make you hungry for the rest of the day.  try a hardboiled egg and a piece of fruit, along with a glass of oj.  good luck and just remember... if you "screw up" by having a snack, it won't ruin your whole diet... everyone messes up, just try to get yourself back on track!!!
