    1. Exercise. Its really easy to find good exercises to do, just look it up on google.

    2. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. (other drinks count as water, too. But not unhealthy drinks like soda. Healthy ones, like orange juice and stuff)

    3. Eat three meals a day. Make sure they are at around the same time.

    Also make sure that those foods are low in calories or fat.

    4. ALWAYS eat breakfast!!! If you don't eat breakfast, then your motabolism won't work well throughout the day.

    5. If you want to exercise alot, then you should eat alot. Otherwise it won't be healthy, and you'll feel sick. So when you eat three meals, make sure they're not small, but they're low fat.

    6. In the morning, Stretch. Stretch whenever you can.

    Also, green tea helps you loose weight.

    I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

    muscle burns at least four times as many calories as fat does so try twenty minutes of strength straining two to three times a week
