Ideas for a diet please - I have 2 months to lose inches!?

I am looking for some ideas for a good diet to try that will help me lose inches (don't care about actual weight, I just need "sidey bits" and thighs to be smaller). I need to fit into my size 10 (uk) jeans by the end of October - is this possible?! Please give me some good ideas for meals, nothing too crazy please, I don't do the shopping in my house and cucumber, tomato and lettuce is about as adventurous as it gets when it comes to salads! Quick and easy meals would be great. Thanks a lot xxx BTW I'm a size 12-ish, nothing seems to fit since I stopped smoking :(

1. It doesn't matter what we say, you won't stick to it. If you were capable of sticking to a recommended diet, you wouldn't be on here asking for an impossible solution.
2. Yes this is possible, i suggest just a normal average diet, not too many carbs, that kind of think, eat healthy but what you need to acheive this goal is a ''Lateral Thigh Trainer'' my mum got one of these and lost a bit of weight pretty fast in about a month and some others i know have used to too, you see it advertised on the TV i think some woman lost 8 pounds and 4-ish inches idk, so yeah its possible
3. Okay...I only started two Mondays ago and All I do is walk one hour every morning. I wear a calorie counter monitor to loose weight by the numbers. I have already lost one pant size and 10 pounds. I am a woman and have three kids and this is the method I use when I gain weight.. I am now at a size two and everyone is always amazed that I have had three kids. This is what I do below when I throw on a few extra pounds. It always works..No diet pills, no energy drinks..just me walking and getting the water I need. Of course I watch what I eat and the Lean Cuisine meals are great for that since the calories per box are 180 to 380 per box. Just make sure you eat healthy every three to four hours so your body will perform at its max. Here it is: Helpful Tips for weight loss: 1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch Keep to a 1,200 food intake Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn't seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight. I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127 2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.
4. you wrote you need to be a size 10 but what size are you now? i believe we all know what we should do to get in shape and stay there, eat healthy foods, fruits, veggies, lean meats. water water water and exercise. i know for me asking what to do to diet and lose weight is just an excuse that keeps me from getting started. we know or bodies and know what we eat and know what not to.
5. Try the soup diet, you can eat as much soup as you like at anytime but with a fork only. On a serious note just stick to a well balanced diet and take plenty of excersise.
6. Try the Sea Food Diet. See food........... and eat it!!
7. Eat less, exercise more.
8. Cut out on all 'white' foods and eat wholegrains instead such as wholemeal bread & pasta, brown rice and porridge oats. Always make sure that you have 3 main meals everyday and drink plenty of water. It's also important to snack heathily and reguarly as it keeps your energy levels high and also means that you never go hungry. Things like fruit, nuts, seeds and granola bars. Here are some meal ideas: BREAKFAST * Healthy cereal - Shredded Wheat, Weetabix / Oatibix, Bran Flakes or Muesli. * Fruit salad & low-fat natural yoghurt * Toast (honey, sugar-free jam or mashed banana) & fruit * Porridge * Eggs: boiled, poached or scrambled on toast * Beans on toast * Fruit smoothie LUNCH * Tortilla wrap with skinless chicken / turkey, salad and a bit of salad dressing. * Soup (Weight-watcher's or Baxter's) & roll * Omelette * Tuna bap with reduced-fat mayo and onion. * Sandwich with healthy filling - low-fat cream cheese, marmite & cucumber, mashed banana, tuna & lettuce etc. * Bagel with low-fat cottage cheese mixed with spring onion and seasoned with black pepper - serve with salad DINNER * Jacket potato with healthy topping - baked beans, low-fat fromage frais, low-fat coleslaw, low-fat hummus etc. * Quorn and pasta * Mashed / boiled potatoes, grilled salmon & steamed veg. * Vegetable / low-fat chicken casserole & rice * Roasted vegetables & cous cous * Stir-fried prawns & vegetables with a rice pilaf.
9. Low Carb Dieting Tip Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties. Ways to Boost Your Metabolism Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day--helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat. Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs. Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice. Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases. Don't Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer) Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat. Some basic fruit and vegetable tips: •Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day. •Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It's easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety - include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.
10. Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats. It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs. Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog
11. Google the magnetic diet - it works.
