Looking for a diet to lose weight and increase energy

Here are a couple of points I think you should follow as an athlete:

There are NO BAD FOODS. There should be room in the eating plan for carbohydrates, protein, and fat, and enough leeway so that 10-20% of your calories can come from whatever  foods you like.

You don’t feel hungry all the time or obsessed with what you “can” and “can’t” have. You identify your personal “calorie budget” and subtract about 20%. More restrictive eating really messes up your metabolism and may trigger eating disorders which can take years to recover from.
 An eating plan should not be confused with an opportunity to express control, rigidity, or selfdenial.

Divide your calorie budget across the day, instead of doing mostly night eating.
Eat slowly and mindfully and pay attention to hunger and fullness signals.
Eat some of your favorite foods regularly to avoid deprivation.
Lots of water.
lots of sleep.

Good Luck

eat food with healthy and lot of nutrients and have a daily balance diet maybe this will solve your problem.

Hello, i recently lost over 4 stone.

I have been researching the net for some time to find a diet that suits my lifestyle. This diet suits my busy lifestyle, you do not even have to exercise if you don't want to. You get a list of different foods to choose from. I lost 11 pounds in 11 days, I have reached my ideal weight now. If i put on a few pounds i just start over again it is great i really feel great i got so much more energy to have loads of fun with my 2 boys. I lost body fat which is hard on some diets you only lose carbs and don't target the fat but on this my stomach was getting flatter each day. I am now wering tight fitted jeans this is aa breath of fresh air for me and i have started being more confident with my body. For more information on how i lost this weight i have left the site for you good luck and i do hope you achieve all your healthy goals.
