3. Exercise more. Try walking daily 20-30 minutes

5. Take Senna, an herbal laxative.
6. Eat probiotic foods or take probiotic supplements. Yogurt like Activia is a good choice and can be eaten daily.
Hope this helps!

One of the most important things that you need to do is to drink A LOT of water (at least 1 liter a day). Avoid or significantly reduce alcohol consumption. Avoid soda pop both regular and diet. Avoid juice. If you like coffee drink it black. There is some research to support increased metabolism and improved weight loss when consuming 2-3 cups per day. Regarding food focus on moderate consumption of protein, salad and vegetables. Increased fiber consumption is helpful (20-30 grams per day). Avoid carbohydrates and starchy foods. If you are really committed you could go on a kenotic diet which is beyond the scope of this simple email. There are lots of books out on the subject but this approach requires rigid adherence and a lot of self-discipline. Exercise is also important and can be worked into you daily routine by taking stairs whenever possible and trying to walk 30-45 minutes a day 5-6 days a week.
