The first thing to do is realise that you have a problem and decide that you are prepared to do something about it.
Like most things, having a some sort of plan really helps.
Think of really simple things that will improve your life. Try to do them whenever you are able to. Don't get fed up if you don't do one, just do something else. Make them diverse so you can do at least one a day. Remember to feel glad when you've done one because you're actively improving your life.
The biggest barrier is mental attitude. You must think positively.
So, maybe have a piece of fruit with your lunch.
Go for a short walk in the evening to relax and burn off a few calories.
Turn off the television and internet, put on some music and look out of the window and let your thoughts drift.
Don't stay up late watching rubbish/channel hopping on the TV. Get some sleep. Only stay up late if there is something you specifically want to watch.
Do things when you are in the mood, don't try to force yourself. Wait until you are ready and then do it, don't slack off.
Don't put things off, they won't go away.
Cook a meal with fresh ingredients for dinner instead of take away.
Telephone someone you haven't seen for a long time and communicate.
Sit up straight if slouching.
Replace a sugary snack with something with a slower energy release (bananas are great) so you don't get a high then a low.
Replace a cup of coffee with tea.
Set conditions: I will have a beer/fag/whatever only when I've done some simple chore I've been putting off.
Don't set any difficult goals. Make it really easy to do a single task. You might do 1 a day, you might do 10. Just ensure you think "I'm doing this, it's pretty easy and I'm a fucking superstar for actually sticking to my plan" every time you do something. So what if they are trivial, they are better than the alternative you might be doing! KEEP IT SIMPLE.
The absolute most important thing is to keep a positive attitude.

All you have to do, if you're a fat fatty, is play doom2 79 hours a day like me. You get so focused that everything else is a chore including eating, bathing, socializing, going outside, etc. My laziness is expressed in overly skinniness rather than fatness. Its the doom2 diet.

The water fast that steve mentioned is one of the stupidest pieces of advice anyone could give. Any doctor that is willing to take part in a long-term water fast should have his medical license taken away.
If you want to detox your body, the best and safest way to do it is drink nothing but water for about 1-2 weeks. Drink lots. About 3-4 liters a day (for men, 1 liter less for women). Eat as you normally would (well, try to make healthy choices instead of eating fast food and such). Most beverages are filled with sugar and other useless things that you system will quickly process and this usually ends up slowing down your metabolism. Most juices and sodas are about as nutritious as candy.
If you do this, remember to make sure you are eating enough salt as drinking lots of water can cause an electrolyte imbalance.

sometimes i wonder if overall i'd be better off if i had no tv, computer or internet. wen i lived in france for a while i had none of these and just read instead. it was great ive never read so many books. apart from that i'd be out working, socialising or looking round paris. i never lazed around doing fuck all, like we all do late night on the net or channel hopping in front of the tv wen we should be in bed.
instead of the nightly beer you could swap it for red wine. it has some health benefits, provided it's drunk in moderation etc etc (im sure u cud pull up loads of articles about the damage it does, but if youre drinking beer anyway you might as well swap. anti oxidants etc).

I don't know if there is any practical reason other than the fact that its easier to moderate your inactive time with a book than a video game or the internet.
However, television flickers put your mind at a resting state that is similar to sleep. I have a feeling that affects your metabolism.

Anyways, being healthy isn't so much about aesthetics as it is about feeling good. It looks like the topic set you of some, which indicates you might have some issues with self image. You may want to address that.

Geez I missed this thread. I've been on a health kick for a while now. Also doing some inside reworking. I'm a fucking fit , confidence filled, alpha male radiating positivity that has been awesome for chicks and making me want to get up in the morning. A fantastic change from being a self loathing loser who was on the brink of suicide every other week.
If you want to loose weight, Stop eating dairy as well and GO VEGETARIAN! Lot's of vegetables have NEGATIVE CALORIES, which mean your body burns more digesting them, then they give. Dairy is just gonna fatten you up, plus all the hormones in it fuck you up. In the USA they put RBGH in the milk (look it up on the net).
Buy some FLAX OIL, or HEMP OIL. Omega 3-6-9 and amazing for making you not feel like shit Drink lot's of water too, but this water diet thing is kind of ... err doesn't make much sense :P
Go to the gym !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scientifically makes you feel great, and also you will BURN CALORIES !
FAT IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Don't cut the good fat out of your body. Buy that 20$ bottle of FLAX or HEMP OIL, your body needs it! You'll notice a difference !
I feel obliged to push my suggestions on you because it worked so well for me, it really turned my life around!

I'm trying to cut back on dairy but it's tough because I love cheese so much! Still, you're right, even "low-fat" cheeses have more calories from fat than I should be eating. I buy smart balance butter substitute now which is made from vegetable and flax oils and can't remember the last time I bought real butter. What I need is a gym membership because jogging sucks too much. Also I've grown into the habit of buying fresh herbs to flavor my vegetables, which means I use less salt, and no cheese or butter like I used to. Dill + anything is delicious. :)

my 5 cents:
-avoid aspartame and similar artificial sweeteners at all costs (it's difficult. check the label on everything you buy)
-try to find fluoride-free toothpaste -get raw instead of refined sugar -eat raw carrots as snacks -eat dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. it's brainfood and tastes better when you get used to it, like going from coffee with milk and sugar to black.
will it make a difference? i don't know but i still recommend all of these things (besides eating normally (varied) with little to no meat, fruit daily etc).

Raw Vegetables make a HUGE difference because your body really needs the enzymes they provide. Big player in building neurons and stuff for the brain and protein stuff.
I agree with the fluoride-free toothpaste, 'green beaver' is pretty good.

Raw vegetables is a problem for me because they tend to give me indigestion. To avoid this I cook them. From what I understand, it's alright to thoroughly cook vegetables as long as you drink the juices which cook out of them (known as the "pot liquor"). This can be done by using the pot liquor as a broth for soup, or just by drinking it (it's good!).

hi ive just started trying out frozen veg ...as they freeze them just after picking. ...then you only have to boil them for 3- 4 minutes which is strange....as fresh veg is usually 6 -7 mins...
1.2 kilo mixing veg for ....£1.10 or somthing ...real cheap but nice.
get rid of sugar .....sugar is what makes you groggy ....that groggy feeling.. like you drank a thimble of bleach ( not enought omake you sick...just enough to make you feel a bit groggy.
and ..... cut out the dairy......try humous instead of chees.
rice soya milk instead of cows breast jiuce
filter water,
open windows in your house more for fresh air. wave arms around ....like in a swimming fashion to get oxegen into your upper body..
etc.....

or the air freshners! and joss sticks too....fill the room full of amonia n stuff.....almost as bad as pasive smoking.

Negative calorie foods are a myth. Everything that goes in will get put in to your body one way or another. However, if you eat a lot of foods that take more to process, you can improve your metabolism by around 5-10%.
I have taken to vegetarianism too. I find I feel a lot more energy when meat isn't a regular part of my diet. Well, thats not totally true. I eat chicken once a week (after my first workout of the week), and fish every second day.

Don't smoke. Don't drink alcohol. Don't take drugs. Don't eat "fast" or processed foods. Don't drink carbonated "soft" drinks. Eat a minimum of red meat and be careful how you cook it (no charcoal). Don't eat cured meat products, especially cooked cured meats (bacon). Eat numerous and varied fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. (organic if you can but no need to get hung up on it). Partake in varied, daily exercise (do whatever your body can do... run, cycle, walk, swim, ski, skate, box. Keeping away fropm high impact exercise might be a good idea, but it shouldn't stop you doing things you enjoy...... and thats the most important thing, enjoy your exercise.)
Associate with positive, friendly, joyous people. Limit your contact with negative, angry, violent people. Make changes in your social circle if needed to achieve these ends. Move to another suburb/city/country if you have to. Seek professional help for any medical concerns you might have, including any mental health problems. Shop around untill you find an EXCELLENT doctor. Most people spend more energy finding a hairdresser they like than a doctor.
Be happy. Do what it takes to be happy. Do not accept unhappiness.

sugar is bad bad....bad badbadbad.
took me years to believe it, ( even tho it is sold to children by the ton, thats why i couldnt really beleieve it i just thought adults didnt want us to enjoy ourselves so to say
" dont eat sugar its bad for your teeth and srews up your insides.....here...do you want a lollypop? "
:/
idea : instead of cordial/ribena etc... ...mix fresh orange juice with water. far better for you but cost a bit more.
tea is bad too ( da hee hee shamone )

Don't know if this has been mentioned already but eating small meals every 3 or so hours will speed up your metabolism.
When it comes to unhealthy foods you like, eat in moderation... having a KFC once every few months will not kill you as long as your diet in general is good.
To make this the briefest advice... just eat mostly 'natural' foods.
