..i'm hoping to lose 1kg (2 pounds) a week ideally...if not a bit more.

Actually if you eliminated everything containing sugar or flour that will take care of it. That may sound easy but remember that includes any pasta, bread, and sweets of most every kind.

Cutting sugary sodas out of your diet would make you lose weight quickly. Lay off the fries, potato chips, chicken skin, and the butter on the popcorn too.

Cut out the carbs such as bread & potatoes & the desserts ,& use Splenda instead of sugar.

Try South beach ....you will lose 8 -13 pounds in 2 weeks on phase one
its mostly cutting out sugar, (candy soda, fruit)
and carbs ( rice bread, potatoe)
eating veges and fish, chx.
also if you reduce your cal intake by 500 a day you will lose like 1 pound a week.
I like this web site, so I can calculate, how many calories I am eating..

also drink water
no soda, DIEt soda is even worse.
goodluck

Sugar, foods high in fat percentage (get a fat and calorie count book), greasy food, fast food restaurants, red meats including pork. Eat fruits and veggies like your body was intended and you should lose weight, provided of course you exercise.

Well, excercise, of course. Take the time to read the labels on the foods you buy. Put anything back on the shelf that has the following:
~The word "processed"
~White sugar. Among other things, it triggers the insulin cycle, which only makes you hungry again. It also makes your body acedic, which is the perfect environment for bredding diseases of all kinds. Chose alternative sweeteners. I found some great alternatives???some of which you can find in your local market???some of which you???ll need to head to the local health food store to find. One is called Sucanat, which is unrefined sugar. It is just as sweet as refined sugar, but retains tons of beneficial nutrients. This, your body can handle. It is slightly tan because of the molasses, is sugar in its most natural state and is easy to get used to. It won???t make your body acidic and won???t kick in the insulin cycle. You use this sweetener just as you would use poisonous, processed white sugar. Sucanat is not diabetes-friendly, however, as it still contains sucrose. And, don???t mistake them for what we call ???Brown Sugar???, which is merely sucrose that is sprayed with molasses and/or caramel coloring.
~Honey. Have you ever put honey in your coffee instead of white sugar? You???ll be surprised at how good it tastes. Its sweet taste is fructose instead of the sucrose that white sugar is made entirely from.
~Agave Nectar is my favorite. It looks like honey, but is thinner and has a milder taste, although it is very sweet. And kinda pricey, depending how you look at it. I pay around $6.00 for 23 ounces. I put it in my occasional cup of coffee with rice milk and it tastes terrific. I drink around 48 ounces of green tea every day with Agave Nectar. I make cinnamon toast with Agave Nectar. I just love this stuff. When I crave sugar, I take a sip of it???or even better???I take a sip of another sweetener???Molasses???and the crisis is over.
There are many other natural sweeteners (Stevia, for one). Experiment with them. You will immediately sense a difference in the way you feel. But, again, avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague. Ingesting Nutrasweet, aspartame, phenylalanine, Equal, Spoonful, Neotame, Sunette (Acesulfame-k), Splenda (Sucralose), Sweetener 2000 / NutraSweet 2000) is like eating sweetened MSG and you are making yourself a guinea pig on largely and poorly tested chemicals, which is what they are.
Fat 101:
Good: Polyunsaturated Fats
Monounsaturated Fats
Bad: Trans Fats
Saturated Fats
Not all fats and oils are for cooking. And not all fats are bad. Some are essential. The best oil that you can put in your body is Flaxseed Oil. Period. It???s the best source of omega 3 fatty acids has heart- healthy properties is a colon-friendly oil lessens constipation boosts immunity promotes healthy skin contains healthy phytonutrients spoils quickly without careful storage (refrigeration works). Not to be used in cooking. Chemically, it???s a short molecule and will digest in your stomach, long before it has a chance to reach and gum-up your liver. I use 2-3 teaspoons of it everyday. I mix it with yogurt, sprinkle it on a salad, or make various concoctions with it, like organic peanut butter that I grind freshly at the local market, with Agave Nectar and a mega dose of crystalline Vitamin C. Nice taste.
~Grape Seed Oil. This is an ideal oil when heat is required, because it has the highest smoking point of any edible oil, which is good because heat doesn???t destroy the essential properties of the oil. It has a mild flavor and is inexpensive.
~Olive oil. Always buy ???Cold-Pressed, Virgin, or Extra Virgin???. No heat has yet been applied to it and it retains all of the good stuff. However, it does have a moderate smoking point and shouldn???t be used at high heat. But, it does have a nice flavor, so when I fry something, I use Grape Seed Oil and splash a little olive oil in for extra flavor. I primarily use it cold on salads, or as an alternative to butter on toast. Nice flavor and very good for your body chemistry.
~Soybean Oil. Avoid like the plague. This is one of the most abused of all oils. When you???re in the market, check out the labels on foods and you will see that this once good oil has been modified into Hydrogenated and Partially Hydrogenated Soybean oil more than any other oil, except Corn Oil. Bad. Bad. Bad. Safflower, Corn, Sunflower, Soybean and Cottonseed Oils all contain over 50% omega-6 fatty acids, which is proven to oxidize our cells. Bad. Go with Omega-3 fatty acids???Good???
~Corn Oil. Bad. Bad. Bad. Most modified of all oils and most innutritious of all oils.
Peanut Oil. One of the better cooking oils since heat doesn???t create bad fatty acids.
~Virgin Coconut Oil. I think this has suffered a bad rap. Well, it is quite pricey. I paid around 11 bucks for 20 ounces. The good part about it is that it is a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA), which gets digested in the stomach and helps us to lose weight, improves diabetic conditions, reduces the risk of heart disease and has antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, so they are beneficial to our immune system. In addition, coconut oil assists people with under-active thyroids by increasing the metabolic rate of the body and creating more energy. The only drawback besides the price is that it imparts a strong taste to food. Coconut shrimp? Okay. Fried eggs? I don???t think so.
~Butter. Got a bad rap. It???s alternative is margarine which, basically, is hydrogenated vegetable oil laced with colorings. (BTW, what hydrogenating the oil does, is allows the oil to remain as a solid at room temperatures, so it won???t ooze out of your Oreos. Big deal...). Why bother? In moderation (a good rule of thumb), butter is far from ???not bad for you???, but is actually good for you, as long as you don???t burn it. It???s a monounsaturated fat with Vitamin A and good acids. No oil hits the pleasure center like butter. Cholesterol? This is a scam issue. Butter has less cholesterol, ounce-for-ounce, than chicken or fish. Enjoy your butter???in moderation.
Bad sugars, bad oils and neuro-excitors like MSG make it impossible to lose weight.
First step? Get you family together and go through your cupboards and fridge and throw out, or donate to a food bank anything with the bad things in them. Then, never bring them back into your house again.
Eat less meat (eliminate proceesed meats) and more fresh fruits and veggies. Buy a juicer and use it. Once you start doing this, your senses of tast and smell will guide what you put into your mouth.
Load up on antioxidants, like a high quality, crystalline, Vitamin C. Use copious amounts of Flaxseed Oil, which is Nature's best source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Read and study about these things, because they will raise your immune system and help your metabolism to sort things out better.
Drink lots of water and fresh-squeezed juices. There are few things better for you.
This is the way to start. Hope this helps!

dont buy fatty foods. and try to guy 100 calorie granola bars and healthy cereal and eat that for lunch and breakfast then for dinner eat something healthy and go on walks or run. also drink 8 cups of water a day. and chew gum

cut out sugar, white flour, processed foods eat fruit and vegetables, chicken, fish, lean meat keep your calories between 1200 - 1500 a day and get 30 minutes of exercise per day ..... the weight will come off! You can do it!

for fast weight loss, i recommend cutting out all sugary foods as well as foods cooked in grease.
since there are so many to avoid, let me tell you what to eat:
fruits
veggies
WHOLE grains
fat free milk
lean cuts
lean fish (salmon is too fatty, tuna is good)
lots of water

sugar fat calories trans fat carbs just look at the nutritional facts on the back of the box
check out my question please!!
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...

starch and sugars

That seems quite achievable...my advice is exercise-orientated (Sorry!) run every 2 days, more if you feel up to it, and make small lifestyle changes. For example, drink skimmed milk over whole or semi-skimmed, grill/griddle food instead of frying, etc.
The weight should just drop off and stay off. Once you establish your own routine you'll be feeling (and no doubt looking) a million bucks.

carbs.
nothing white!
no white bread, WHITE RICE is soo bad
any kind of bread is bad

caffeine: coffee, soft drinks, chocolate
