This site provides very simple and useful information, specially about why dieting is not the solution, and why you need to do life-lasting changes.

Flat Stomach Exercises - How to Flatten Your Tummy

This is the best part:

Healthy Eating Habits - Increase Your Metabolism

If you don't mind I'd like to ask you something related. I am really trying to lead a good eating lifestyle, I'm really trying to get good eating habits. But.

But I think I am addicted to sugary stuff. I can live without chips, without soda, without salty snacks. But one day without sweets, pies, cakes or ice creams, and the craving arrives. Weird thing is I don't drink alcohol or smoke, I never had. Do you think sugar can be addictive? I get really strong cravings, despite how much I want to lose weight. I'm not fat now, but am slightly overweight and if I don't get control of my body and health now I'm 29, later on it's going to be worse.

So, how would you stop the craving for sweets? I know that they give me nothing good... During years of attempts to leave them, I've learned at least to sense how greasy and heavy they are. I have managed to cut out doughnuts and other very greasy sweets. But chocolate, panettone and ice creams still get the best of me. How would you leave them? I have no problems with my weight... Or I wouldn't if I didn't crave for sweets that much. Has anyone had this problem? Has anyone gotten over it?
