i read this report that said tofu gives you cancer.
Tofu is a soya product. There are issues with eating too much soya because it prevents some hormones from functioning properly (fermented soya products like Miso, soy sauce and tempeh are OK).
But meat can also cause cancer.
It's important to have diversity in your diet. Eat a lot of different things. That's probably the best way to avoid diet related cancer.

thats why i wrote about eating kosher meat. i know that the animals "slained" to eat have been done correctly with no injections or inhumaine slaughtering. i also eat cage free eggs as well.

Exercise, stay away from the bready type foods, drink tons of water and try to eat meats and dairy less. Celery is also good because it clings to the fat in your body and drags it out.
Meat contains lots of horrible fats and nastiness. So by cutting it out of your diet, you can lose a lot of weight. And they tend to be saturated fats which make them even worse.
About a year or two ago I used to weigh like 220 pounds and now I am down to 160, which is a major difference, so many people asked me how I do it and all I said was watch what you eat and portions is main key. Plus I walked al ot, but it was only on a tredmill, I tried to lift weights and stuff but that just wasn't my thing. Each person has his or her own way of excersising, it all depends on what you feel comfortable with. Another thing is I didn't eat three hours before I went to bed, it is said if you eat before you go to bed, big meals, it turns to fat. I never knew if it was 100% true, but it helped me a lot too. I just would eat my portion controlled meals, and just not eat before I went to bed. Plus if I don't eat and wake up in the morning, I feel more refreshed then I do when I eat before I go to bed. I wish you luck!
Sounds like everyone has the right idea. I'm glad no one mentioned some miracle pills or something... THEY DON'T EXIST... lol. I have never personaly had a weight problem but i do believe exrecise and food is very important to staying healthy and fit. The key is to find some kind of exercise you like (preferably with others). I enjoy Tae Kwon Do and the fact that my parents do it as well gives me a support. When ever i "don't want to go" there is someone there to push me. I also fell in love with cheerleading. This also seemed to work well because to preform stunts the whole group has to go. So on those days you feel lazy u can tell urself "no i can't let them down." The real key is to find what u like tho. even if it is on your own. As for food... not going to lie i love my junk food but you have to take it in moderation. When i want to snack i will try to grab a banana instead of junk. If u really do get a crazing for a chocolate bar or soemthing try walking to go get it. If ur not in the mood to walk "that far" then u can't want it that bad, however if u do want it that bad then u can enjoy the chocolate knowing that you worked off the calories to get it.

hey, im 12 and i had a weight issue. by age 9, i was 100 pounds. by age 10, i was 145 pounds. by age 11 i was 160 pounds, starting to think about my future and how i would be treated by people almost like a *fat kid*. one year later i went from 160 to 120. im 12 years old and im only 120 pounds. how i did this is i cut back to half the ammount i was eating. i excircised and ran the avrage mile 4 times a week in 9 minutes. i was amazed with the results and i still continue to cut back and excircise.
Don't understand the fish thing. As far as I'm concerned, vegans don't eat any animal products. That includes things with faces (like fish), and things without faces (like hamburgers). The fact is that the meat industry causes pain to animals, and I don't want to be responsible for that. The healthy weight loss thing is just an added benefit to a cruelty-free lifestyle.
And there's protein in most vegetables. Where do cows get protein from? Mostly I get it from grains such as wheat and corn, and from pulses, such as beans and lentils.
To tell you the truth, I don't mind if an animal dies so I can eat. I just don't think it's necessary in our country, and I don't like the way animals are treated while they are alive. However, that is not why I am vegetarian/vegan. It's strictly for health reasons. A lot of people who go veggie for animals don't know what they're doing (not you, I'm just saying a good number of them) and they wind up with problems such as protein/vitamin deficiency.
And for those who were wondering, vegetarians get their protein from all sorts of vegetables, but soy is the most abundant for it has nearly all of the amino acids that humans need... there is at least one that I know we don't need which is mostly or only (sources disagree) found in meat, and that is taurine (which is why cats MUST have meat or they will go blind and/or even die, whereas dogs don't need meat to live healthy lives). The interesting thing, however, is that Americans eat so much meat that they could probably eat a low-protein diet for 2 weeks and still be okay.
But my advice to the original poster is going vegan/vegetarian (if you're just going to be a lacto veggie, BE CAREFUL about how much dairy you consume because that will kill your diet). A great part about being vegetarian is that your body feels REALLY healthy.
Also combine the vegetarian thing with a Weight Watchers diet... I've done that too; it does work.

Meat alone does not cause cancer. What causes cancer is the preservatives in processed nonorganic meat and grilling/bbqing (because of the carcinogens).

funny how most gamer nerds are fat people. roflmao.
That is totally not true, but everyone has their own opinion. I still don't think that was a very nice thing to say tho. Some people have a true problem with their weight.

i dont think thats what he ment when he wrote that. granted its a "serious topic" asking advise to lose weight, he was making a joke saying how "most of us are fat" its a sarcastic remark
otherwise, trying to find humor in a serious matter
Notice how everyone who said DIET had excercise in fine print. I will be a science major so I took every biology class in High School. You can excercise and eat the same foods as normal and still lose weight just not as fast.
Also to all you vegans because of animal cruelty (actually only one I think) do you think hunting is bad too? Would you consider that cruelty? Just asking
