   That’s not a good idea. You need to substitute regular food with better foods for you. As in no fried foods, etc. You should still eat something just eat healthier foods and smaller portions.

   drink a glass of water/green tea before each meal
   cut down your portions
   chew slower and take your time eating [it really does work]
   don’t eat after 7:30 pm
   alternate excercises [like a good cardio workout one day and yoga/pilates the next, to let your muscles relax]

   good luck !

   its not good to substitute your food with something you need to eat to live so just eat healthier and smaller portions of food or you can use diet and protien shakes or health bars

   DO NOT STOP EATING FOOD!!! To lose weight just exercise regulary, watch the amount you eat of food. You could even start Weight Watchers (it really works) Substituting food with coffee isnt a smart idea. Coffee could pro-long weight loss and it isnt good for you if you drink a lot.

   I don’t think you wanna substitute foods with things like gum or brushing your teeth. I did that and after 15 lbs I couldn’t lose anything. I started just eating salads and fruit and the way started coming off. I think you just substitute the things you eat now for more fruits or veggies.

    Fill up on water. It makes you full, and it keeps the food that you do eat moving through the digestive tract. When food is on the move, the less chance it has to stay around and get turned into stored fat. Water, Water, Water!

    Too much caffeine is very unhealthy and can cause breast lumps. I recommend chewing sugar free gum when trying to lose weight and quit smoking. It gives your mouth something to do and tastes good… with so many different flavors of sugar free gum now, it is a great way to go. Also, if you are hungry, eat something! Just make it something healthy such as veggies and fruits. You don’t have to feel guilty if you eat half a bag of carrots as opposed to potato chips. And if you just reallly need something bad for you, and only if you think you can control yourself, eat just a small amount of what you crave! Sometimes the only way to get rid of a craving is to satisfy it, but in moderation.

    And remember.. you have to exercise to keep your metabolism up. If you take away the food without exercising your body will store every little bit of fat you consume and you will get nowhere!

    i don’t substitute nothing i still eat real food but in moderation and I exercise exercies constantly
    instead of a big hamburger meal i get the kids meal
    i eat more chicken and fish
    but most of all i exercise and i don’t deprive my self of food . Because when u do u will eat more and unhealthy. Also try and eat in a quiet space the more nose u have the more u will eat no tv while eating dinner eat at a table and in room with no noise, and eating at table will make you feel full and then u won’t eat all your meal etc. you’ll eat it later or the next day. Depriving yourself without food will only make you eat more and lose the battle on trying to lose the weight. quit drinking coffe so much have lil nutri grain snacks , bowl of fruit, pretzels the lite brand, there are ways of eating healthy and small portions when losing weight . Go to Oprah.com and she’ll give you list of meal options when losing weight , but most of all EXERCISE

    caffine, such as coffee and especially soda is horrible to drink when you are trying to lose weight. if its plain coffee it might not be so bad but usually, especially in women, its not, its always lattes or mochas or whatever have you. the calories in a plain white chocolate mocha alone would definatly surprise you. and soda is bad because it retains fat. all you should do is cut out any fast food or junk food, chips, candy etc, and soda and coffee, and eat regular food. you dont have to be a health freak. just eat good food when you really are hungry. and drink a lot of water or real fruit juice. that will help curb your appetite and fill you up without adding any or very many calories.
