In order to be healthy you must get certain things in your diet. Carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins, sugars, fats and oils. *All* of these are necessary in some amount. Generally you should get more carbs, proteins, minerals and vitamins and less sugars, fats and oils.

If you are exercising then less carbohydrates will cause you to fatigue and feel lethargic.

Eat plenty of vegetables because they are good sources of minerals and vitamins (especially green leafy vegetables).

Sugars, fats and oils are necessary for the regulation of some bodily functions but should only be taken in small amounts, as larger amounts will, of course, cause you to put on weight.

With regards to milk, you may want to switch to skimmed or semi-skimmed milk because milk is quite high in fat.

Here is an excellent website with mountains of information, make sure you have a good read through it: http://www.nutritionaustralia.org/Nutrition_for_all_ages/Default.asp

Always drink 2% percent milk ( not percent in fat, but in how much ) because I found out that wheat bread and milk doesn't give you that much abdominal definition you desire...I usually drink milk sparingly and eat some baked foods, but not all. Actually, I think that's how the body works..You're talking about your face and skin, that happens all the time if you lose a high percentage of body-fat from your body, it's normal so don't get worried.

thanks alot sorry for not mentioning the healthy milk i do drink the yello cover milk that only has 90 calories.i used to be fat.and now people are saying im skinny...thanks you guys for the help..my goal is to lose 50 pounds and i think im around the corner with 10 more pounds to go...Peace
