So I want to go on a diet to lose only about 5 pounds, the same I use to weight about a year ago. What I'm asking, is that what food should i stay away from? I already drink lots and lots of water and haven't drunk soda in about 4 months and not planning to for the rest of my life. Seriously! Also, how exactly does a diet work? Whats a good routine a.k.a diet plan to eat? Any examples? Thanks a lot i appreciate it! -Picking best answer as soon as i read the best one!

Breakfast- Plain bagel, sometimes with egg and cheese and maybe bacon Lunch- Chicken patty with grapes and water Dinner- Chicken with rice and beans Sometimes eat cereal before going to sleep if i get hungry usually fruit loops.

All natural food are good. the question is that you need to cut your calorie intake. you can eat bacon and eggs but you have to watch you calorie intake. If you cut 500 cal everyday from you intake you will lose those 5 pounds in one month and one week without suffering at all. as for your original question you have to stay away form refined flour and sugar because they have high GI avoid alcohol and any commercially beverage including fruit juice and (healthy juice) Bottom line: measure your food, make a daily journal, and make sure you have cut 500 cal from you diet. you have to go to any site to calculate your BMR Basal Metabolic Rate and according to your level activity you would find your Your Average Daily Calorie Need. Cut 500 cal for Your Average Daily Calorie Need and follow that amount of calorie.
