Smile Weight and Fitness

Eating smaller meals more frequently is a good idea part of the concept of grazing that keeps your blood sugar levels up. Also a tip is to sip hot water throughout the day. I've read that helps in weight loss but it is also very good way of keeping hydrated.
Health foods aren't necessarily weight loss foods. Often they are filled with loads of sugar. Eat as simply as you can with lots of good quality protein and fresh fruits and veges. Stay off refined foods like white flour, white sugar. Cut back on saturated fats especially transfats and hydrogenated oils. Refined foods high in carbs and loaded with fats seem to be the leading cause in obesity.
Exercise is vital. Do what you love but do it consistently. Five days a weeks as you say sounds very good. Vary what exercise you do so you don't get bored.
Go well.
