I'm no expert on nutrition or exercise (or anything else for that matter) but I have long come to the conclusion that fatness and fitness are mutually exclusive things. From people I have met during my life I have realised that you can be fat and fit, fat and unfit, thin and fit or thin and unfit! Because they are mutually exclusive events they need to be tackled seperately. No amount of exercise will make you thin - it will just make you fit and hungry! There is also such a thing as overtraining as well - are you guilty of that? To get thinner you have to behave like a thin person does (they seem to know what to do). I am a thin person (by choice not just design)and if it is of any value to you here is how I do it: I always eat breakfast (2 rounds of toast with marmalade but no butter, a banana, glass of orange juice and a coffee). For lunch I eat a sandwich, a few pringles, cherry tomatoes and an apple (I do vary this occasionally). For dinner I cook a meal of whatever I fancy - pasta, stir fry, curry, it doesn't really matter to much what it is as long as I restrict the portion size. Try eating two-thirds of what you normally eat. I rarely snack between meals and luckily I don't have a sweet tooth so I rarely eat cakes or biscuits. It's all about eating regular meals, controlling portion size and cutting down on snacking. Don't cut out all your favourite foods - life has to be worth living! I also weight myself every 2 weeks. If my weight has gone up by more than 2 pounds I restrict myself the following week - it's not as daunting to lose 2 pounds as 20 pounds. There is nothing I wouldn't eat because it's 'fattening'. All things in moderation as mother used to say! Good luck. Hi!
