Most importantly - substitute all drinks with water. Stay away from beer especially - it's so fatening. If you don't like to drink water alone - add icecubes and lemon slices to it - lemonade style with a little sugar. (not bleached sugar - but brown sugar)
Stay away from Nutrasweet and "less fat" products - they substitute the pure sugar with all kinds of chemicals.

However, eat all you want - as long as it's healthy. Eat vegetables raw - but stay off too many potatos, white bread (substitute with sourdough rye - not jut rye bread) lay off the butter - cook in Olive oil instead eat meats like: chicken, turkey, pork and fish.

If you cook your veggies - don't over cook - just steam or you will take all the vitamins out.

You don't have to work out two hours daily - and hour is more than enough. It's all about what you put in your body. If you start working out too hard though - the fat will be used for muscles - and you will be "muscle bulky" ... better to loose some weight first- and then start toning your body a little later.

Good luck,
Mia
