I recently answered a question about dieting and excercise on my Internet Advice Column, Ask Windy Cissy (http://snurl.com/askwindy), and I thought you girls might like to see an excerpt:
"You've got to start eating less and exercising more...sounds simple, doesn't it? You will want to start an aggressive cardio program: jogging, walking and especially swimming is a great way to burn calories and lean out your body. Of course you will steer clear of lifting weights for your upper body, although I recommend lots of crunches to trim your abs. Get one of the old Jane Fonda workouts if you want a good burn! As for diets, doctors cringe but I always kick off a diet with a 24 hour fast which shrinks my stomach so I don't need to eat as much to feel full. Although it is much maligned by health professionals, I swear by the old Beverly Hills Diet as an initial kickstart: after your 24 hour fast, eat nothing but a pineapple the next day, sounds crazy and I don't recommend it as a continuing diet! Just make sure you eat three meals a day only watch your portions, and one other thing: I have had great success eating only dairy products for lunch, check out the Dairy Diet."
For the complete answer with a link to the Dairy Diet, which I abolutely swear by, check out Ask Windy Cissy (http://snurl.com/askwindy)
