If Maria Carey can do it, so can you. So many stars are losing weight and it's easy to think that they only can do it because they have the money. However, that is not true. You can do it just like them if you just follow a few of the same eating and exercise plans that they do.

• Drink lots of water
• Eat smaller portions 5 to 6 times a day
• Exercise at least  20 minutes a day three times a week
• Walk. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do and it keeps your motabolism up
• Eat whole wheat and whole grains, not the enriched white versions
• Eat 4 or 5 servings of fruits and vegatables a day

Make this a lifestyle, not a "thing." To be healthy requires a healthy lifestyle, so learn as much as you can but take it one day at a time. And remember, don't overwhelm yourself by trying to do everything at one time. Implement one thing at a time, and when you have become consistent with that then take the next step.
