looking for new diet

[animal495]

I am trying to shed about 15 pounds before summer and most of it is just in my butt and legs and the rest is a thin layer on my abdomen. I have a hard time following diets because I dont like seafood or eggs. Is there anything you can recommend as a FILLING diet that wont leave e hungry and will still help me she pounds and build muscle without just cutting calories down to 500 a day?

Not all carbs are created equal.  Women should have a minimum of 35 grams of dietary fiber/day.  Fiber is considered to be a "complex" carb, which means it breaks down slowly and isn't really "digested", like simple carbs, such as sugar, processed foods with white flour, rice, etc.  Plenty of dietary fiber and water is necessary for good digestion and elimination.  Complex carbs (dietary fiber) is that found in whole grains and vegetables and is considered the "good" carbs.

Since "Total Carbohydrates" include both sugar and dietary fiber, watch the sugar and "other carbohydrate" content.  Eat those foods with the most dietary fiber.

The best thing is to eat fat and protein rich food and cut put carbs. Don't take in anything that's marked non-fat or low-fat since most of them has a lot sugar. You will find that you could sustain your energy better as well. Read labels and watch net carb (total carb-fiber). Should be 40g for guys and 20g for women on a daily basis.

There are a lot of different foods you can eat, besides seafood and eggs.   Any type of lean meat is acceptable; yes, even red meat, with the fat cut off.  Chicken and turkey are good choices, as well.  

Center your meals around veggies, rather than meat.  You can eat unlimited amounts of almost any type of veggie, provided that it doesn't have butter or sauce on it, and you'll be adding very few calories.   "Wake up" your veggies with lemon juice, cider vinegar, herbs, spices and/or maybe a bit of olive oil. Snack on an apple with 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter.  Nuts and seed have a lot protein, so sprinkle some on your salad... be aware that they also contain quite a bit of fat, so limit the amounts.

I keep a bowl of sliced radishes, celery, carrots, etc sitting on the counter most of the time, so whenever I walk by, I can grab a few slices to munch on.  This keeps me from being so hungry at meal time.   I also keep a large tumbler of iced lemon water on the counter and I sit at that whenever I walk by, as well.  Drinking water keeps me hydrated and helps keep me fuller.

And of course, there's always exercise.  You can't "spot reduce", but there are exercises that can target certain areas.  You might look into yoga or pilates - both are excellent for toning muscles.  Walking is always good.  I found a "Walk" video on YouTube that I really like, plus I have a couple of Walk DVD's.  On top of that, I walk with my neighbor, approximately 2.5 miles/day.  A good brisk walk is really good for toning muscles in the legs and butt.
