re: what's the most effective way to lose weight?

The reason college students gain weight can be explained in 5 words: All-you-can-eat buffet. It's been shown that when you get to serve yourself from a buffet rather than being given a set portion, you tend to take more food than you otherwise would. And since we're all taught to clean our plates...

Lots of water and I also go by the no food after 7:00.
Leave food on your plate. Physically push the plate away from you, and say out loud "I'm full" and put your water glass in front of you. Helped me shed a few pounds!

Yes, that's true. A famous Broadway diva (no, not the one you think - nope, not her either) told me once that your urine should be clear.

I have been told the darkest it should be is very watery lemonade yellow!

Yeah I drink like 10 water bottles a day, so I never have that problem. I also don't drink soda or fruit juice. I think I am on my way...tonight I have a grilled chicken salad and a pickle.

Pickles are the ****.

When you're hungry, chew gum. It satifys you becuase you're chewing something and you won't put anything else in your mouth while you chew it.

Camel Lights, Coffee (and lots of it) and Heroin.

A colleague of mine told me this and I've found it to be true as well. Drinking a lot of green tea (without sugar, of course) helps to take off weight and to keep it off. There is a green tea diet, but I don't follow that. Green tea also has several other healthy components that are very good for you.

I drink like a gallon of green tea a day. I like it, but if you don't, you can also buy green tea extract capsules.

Don't take dietary supplements- they're really unregulated, so you have no idea what's really in them and if there's a consistent amount of the active ingredient in each pill.

The good stuff in green tea is antioxidants, I believe. And any diet that involves the name of one food or drink is no good.

[1. Push yourself away from the table.

2. Never eat after 7PM
3. don't snack.
4. drink lots of water
5. exercise.....(it can evern be walking) ]

Don't snack... NO WAY! You're supposed to eat every two hours, to keep your metabolism up. *Nutritionists orders*

I did really well when I had non salted peanuts while I was getting dressed during Gym at school, and then when I got home I had a protein bar. Then of course, I had to get off the diet and whomp there goes back on the pounds.

But if you find a good Protein bar, or snack bar it's always very good. I woudl highly suggest the South Bitch... I mean Beach Snack bars. That not sooo horrendous that you can't eat them but I think they're quite excellent.

Then again... My life consists of no bread, hardly any milk and so forth. My mom is Lactose Intollerent and she gets sick whenever she eats bread or anything along those lines.

"2. Never eat after 7PM "

Yeah according to Oprah. That is a load of crap. I don't even get home 'til 7 or later. Is that part of the diet for the unemployed or those who have nothing to do?

(actually, I think it's don't eat for 3 hrs before your bedtime and Oprah happens to go to bed at 10pm, but as someone's said, this is supposedly a myth. Since I am not a doctor, and I'm sure you'll find studies that go both ways, I will leave it at that.)

Chewing gum does make you hungry. It tells your stomach to expect food and when it doesn't get what it's promised? It gets angry and demands cake.
