Secret 1 : Stick To ONE Diet Rigidly And DO NOT Waver
Junk food is delicious. All the unhealthy food just tastes so good and is so enjoyable. The trouble is, most of this snack food is extremely unhealthy and full of calories. You will be surprised how much weight you can lose just by cutting out the junk food.
Secret 2 : Cut Out The Junk Food
Most people who diet just cut their calorie intake. Doing this sends a very powerful message to your body that says “DANGER – famine coming” and so your body stores fat so you can get through the famine. Successful dieters not only reduce their calorie intake, but they also increase their level of activity. They introduce some form of exercise into their everyday activities, which burns off additional calories. Find some type of exercise you like (walking the dog, a martial art, etc) and do it for 20-30 minutes four or five times a week.
Secret 3 : Daily Exercise
If I asked you what you ate yesterday, would you be able to tell me? We tend to put food in to our mouths on auto pilot and don't really notice what is going in. It's shockingly easy to eat a lot of junk food without every being consciously aware of it. Keep a journal of everything that you eat. Carry a small note book with you everywhere you go and write down in it anything and everything you eat. This will help you see exactly what you are eating and help you to work out which foods are better for you.

They realize that the big event is just a few weeks ago and have to get rid of an unrealistic amount of weight by then. Usually this weight loss goal can only be achieved through amputation!
