thats really good that you arent worried about how long it will take. If you want good long-term results. Its not gonna be fast. Crash diets are fast but as everyone knows, you just gain the weight back. I suggest just try your best to avoid bad foods. And look at the food pyramid. It tells you the type of food you are supposed to have each day. Yea and on the top its sweets and fatty crap and u know what it says? Eat sparingly. So that means you dont NEED sweets and shi- like that. So just eat healthy and Im sure u know what that is. And stick to your diet and you will eventually reach your goal if you dont give up. Of course u will give in sometimes to bad foods but just keep going and try not to do it again. Like I say, avoid it and you'll 4get about it. I promise. Good luck and God Bless! ***Weight is the battle, we are the soldiers, and we must win*** ~Walk Tall, Katie~
