I use http://eatthismuch.com

You plug in your calories, what type of diet you want, the macronutrient levels you want to hit, how many meals a day you want to eat, etc. You can also plug in foods you never want to eat and set your budget per meal. Then, it generates your grocery list for the week and plans out every meal. You can even set how complicated you want the recipes to be. I have mine set to simple and two meals a day since that's what works for me. I'm currently using it on a keto diet.

I love it and don't know what I'd do without it.

This is an awesome site. Thanks man.

Screw that, Google healthy meal recipes/grocery lists and get it for free.

Bam, first link.

That is laughable unrealistic (notice most of his savings comes from "bartering at local farmer's market", and also, doesn't allow you to tailor it to dietary needs.

Just an example... it was the first link on Googe. The point is, you don't need to pay someone to get that information. His diet was for bodybuilding.

Eh. If you can follow a recipe, you can cook. Once you get used to certain recipes, you'll remember what goes into them without looking and then start feeling like you can alter them more to your liking. It's a learned skill. Just gotta start somewhere.

If that's too much trouble here is a simple guide:

Find out how many calories you need to eat in a day - http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

• 2000 calories per day from your stats
  
• If you decide to workout (which you should) bump it up to 2300-2500 calories on days you exercise

Track what you eat so you know how many calories you are eating.

• MyFitnessPal - Probably the most popular app but use whatever you like

As long as you are eating the correct amount of calories you will lose weight.

Exercising isn't required but it's highly recommended. Find an activity you can do and do it. Walking is free. If you don't want to go outdoors there are plenty of body weight exercises you can do from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Here is an example:

• http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

Google "body weight exercises" for more ideas.

Learning to cook. It will save you money and you'll know exactly what goes into your food. If you are stubborn and will not cook you can eat out but you have to be very mindful of what you are eating. You can eat a days worth of calories in one meal. TV dinners and other prepared foods are easy but they can get costly.

The links at the top of this post have a lot of information and the communities are very active. Don't be afraid to ask questions after you read the sidebar FAQs. I hope you can use this information to improve your life. Good luck!

Thanks guys. Really really thanks. I got my kid with me now and I am looking at him and I am thinking I gotta live long enough to make sure I can support him as much as I can in this life. All your posts are valuable and thanks a million. Hard time for me in life at the moment. Thanks.

Eat clean to get lean.

this....

Shop on the perimeters where all the fruits, vegetables and meats are.. I know it sounds obvious... but once you start purchasing boxed items, you are indulging in highly processed foods (of course there are some exceptions). The less ingredients, the better. You would be surprised how satisfied you can be with some grilled jerk chicken, and a side of vegetables, need to feel fuller? Add a baked potato, or yam. Pay attention to the glycemic index of your foods.... walk everyday (if you don't do anything higher impact)... stay healthy my friend....

I hate diets with a passion. The best bet is always to change your eating habits. Losing weight has to be a lifestyle change. The best thing you do to get started is cutting out foods with artificial ingredients, even ( especially) so called diet foods. Those pre packaged foods are loaded with artificial ingredients you body doesnt know what to do with and gets stored as fat.

I eat mostly natural foods ( meats, veggies, fruits) throw in fiber and protein rich cereal, greek yogurt with a good granola, 1% cottage cheese ( if you ever decide to get into weights, this js a wonder food) and eggs. Lots and lots of protein Drink LOTS of water, do light cardio and hit the sauna for 10 minutes a day. The sauna works wonders when your out of shape.

A colon flush helps too

I agree with everything you said, except the colon flush. That is NEVER appropriate, as your bowel constantly sheds its lining, the liver and kidneys are the body's detox system, and the ingredients of the flush may cause anaphylaxis.

Hey guys. I am 37 years old, 5'10" and 252 LBS. I am diabetic and my liver is not in good condition. Need to lose weight fast. Don't really know how to cook so I rely on my wife but I will be 3 months without her so to avoid any issues I decided to sign up to Nutrisystem.

Anybody used this? Any complaints?

My alternative is Jenny Craig but that system looks more expensive and heard they try to call you multiple times to get you back if you decide to leave.

Any input is appreciated.

Check my post history, and you'll find my recommendations for diabetic diet.

Any diet is simply a discipline. If a packaged formula has been successful for someone it's only because calories were limited, and they stuck to it - there's no magic and no such thing as fat burners.

Unfortunately, any pre-packed foods are loaded with sodium and other undesirable preservatives. So, get off the couch, get in the kitchen, and throw a salad together, and some fresh fruit. Grill some chicken breasts.

Take charge of your health.

If I were diabetic I would only follow whatever diet they suggested.

Don't feel like a loser. Cooking is easy. Just find some simple recipes and try them out. You'll be amazed at how easy it is. You can do it.

take care of yourself! You can do it!
