Stop eating 4 or 5 hours before bed time. Any food in your stomach will end up on the outside of your stomach, plain and simple. Stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol messes with your judgement and is also full of empty calories. Your body doesn’t know what to do with alcohol calories so it stores it as fat. Now you might say that you know someone who is an alcoholic that is as skinny as a rail. Well that person isn’t here ready how to lose weight once and for all. That person also probably doesn’t eat any food and only consumes alcohol.
This is a no brainer but I will say it anyways, cut out junk food. Cut out all junk food like chips and candies, pop and everything that is made of simple sugars, deep fried and loaded with salt. Think of it this way, you put that high calorie, high fat, high sodium, high carbohydrate junk in your body and it is just like you are trying to poison yourself.

There are many calorie calculators on the internet you can use for free to find out where your calorie count should be.
Next is get enough sleep. Most people think they get enough sleep but they don’t. Sleeping helps your body do what it needs to too heal you and make you feel better and recharge you for the next day. Also get to sleep around the same time every night and wake up around the same time every day. If you do this you will notice a difference in how you feel in 1 week.
Lastly exercise. I don’t care what you do at this point just make sure you do something to increase your heart rate and in turn your metabolism.
