Are there any foods you can eat to loose weight while living a “sedentary” life style?

I dont have time for excersise, i work full time at a desk job then go to a 3 hour night class every night. I get hungry and need to eat so i have energy but everytime i eat anything i think about how its sitting in my stomach like i am sitting in my chair. I beat myself up over just about anything i eat. any “guilt free” food ideas?

This is the strangest thing ever. A pill that creates the effect of working out when you really just sit around…

veggies and fruit for snacks, skim milk for that stick to your ribs feeling.

celery

As a snack celery is full of fiber and can fill you up… it actually takes more calories to digest celery then the vegetable actually has… so when you eat celery you will be burning more calories.

Soup, can be taken anywhere really…

crispbreads if you need to go through the motions of eating something properly.

Cups of tea can also stop you from feeling hungry when your just in need of something to drink rather than a meal.

Like Ell said, soup/broth, cups of herbal tea, tomato juice (or if you want to be interesting throw some spices in and you’ve got gazpacho). Low fat yoghurt/quark with fruit or veg. If you have the time in the weekend, make something like bread/cake/cookies/muffins to take with you. Just search a bit on recipe sites and you’ll find loads of fun things.

You can’t just do nothing. Try fitting in small amounts of exercise whenever you can. For example, I do crunches or push ups whenever I’m studying or reading for school. Multitask!

Take the stairs, moving around from work/home/school and a 10 min walk outside (good for that whole your body needs natural light thing too). Maybe if you aren’t already it’s a good idea to keep a journal of how much you’re doing & how much you in: see if you can balance things out better? And be more aware of the things that are good. Write down every victory.

I’m more or less against the whole multitask-juggling-circus, one thing at a time so you can focus and be in the moment. How does that work for you doing push-ups while reading a book?

people who say they have no time for exercise tend to just be lazy. surely you have to go into 2 or 3 storey buildings once in a while-take the stairs. park your car a further 5 or 10 minutes away. ride a bike for 10 minutes.
its easy to fit it in if you actually want to.
sittin on your *** aint gonna help you lose weight.
