Answers:
The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.
Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M&M's. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.
Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fat. Cut out mayonaisse while you're at it.
White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn & flour).
Your going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need to make a fire that will last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you've collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a couple of logs in once every 45 minutes-hour?
Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn't realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn't get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days.starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch at say 11:30am.you probably haven't ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.
Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.
Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).
The healthiest carbs are:
Yams
Oatmeal (no sugar)
Sweet Potatoes
Brown Rice
OK carbs are:
Whole-grain bread/buns/tortillas (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)
Fruits
Aside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna
Salmon
Egg whites
Almonds
Low-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)
Lots of vegtables
Lots of water
You need to drink 1 gallon (128oz)minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn't clear like water, drink more.
Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).
If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or jog for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you'll be several sizes smaller in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.
Bodybuilders and fitness models basically eat this way. Not only is it low calorie, low carb, high in protein and natural.it controls your blood/sugar levels and how your body uses the food based on the glycemic index.
Good luck!
PS+ Have a nice 1000 calories cheat meal once a week.
I did the Suzanne Somers diet. The weight absolutely fell right off. It mainly involves food combining and doesn't leave out any food groups. My sister, mom, and me all did it and it worked.
Whatever Izzy s said try it lol
YOU HAVE LOST 15 KG GREAT JOB, NOW THE ADAMANT FAT/ADIPOSE TISSUES DONOT WANT TO LEAVE EASILY BY THE METHOD YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED. SO A CHANGE OF WORKOUT IS REQUIRED, AND A HEALTH CONSULTANT COMES IN THE PICTURE TO HELP YOU FURTHUR. BESIDES YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED WHAT METHOD YOU HAD OPTED PREVIOUSLY!
ALWAYS REMEMBER, OUR BODY AND MIND REQUIRES A CHANGE VERY OFTEN FOR GOOD RESULTS.
Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.
But wait! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.
So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

people when trying to lose weight lose some kg's first, which is water and not fat. but the process of losing fat is really hard.
sometimes also people are overweight coz of hormonal issues
you might wanna go to a dietition or endocrinologist
read tips on some great weight loss and exercise programs on this site
First of all, Congrats on the goal you have achieved thus far.
It's hard to give an answer here because of not knowing your medical history and where you started from and what you have been doing (diet or exercise or both) to lose the weight so far and what your next goal is.
Everyone hits that wall at some point. You might have to make adjustments to your diet or you might have to make adjustments in your workouts. More then likely it will come from both.
How long did it take you to lose the 15 kg orginally?
How much more do you want to lose?
How long has your weight been stagnant?
Take a look at what has change or the lack there of, in both your diet and workouts to start off.
you hit a plateau when you have lost a certain amount of weight. If you are exercising, which I'm guessing you are, the best way to get past the plateau and lose more weight is to change it up. If you're running on a treadmill, do the eliptical. If you're doing the eliptical, take up spinning, or jogging. You can try the exercise bike, or taking up kick boxing. Switch it up and your body will have to start working hard again.
Hi
Try this simple plan it really worked for me so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx
