The easiest and most lost term way to lose weight is by changing your diet, not exercising. Exercising is better for toning and strength and takes a lot of time. In order to effectively lose weight by changing your diet, the following conditions must be met:

• you must enjoy the food you eat so you don’t feel deprived of eating food you like
• you must feel full when you eat low-calorie food
• the food must easy to prepare and cook
• the food must be affordable

Fortunately, lentils will make you feel full, are very easy to prepare, and if prepared right, can taste very good, and are super cheap. Unlike other legumes like red beans, lentils do not need to be presoaked. I try to eat healthy during the week and use the weekends to eat whatever I want. For me, current food consumption for a typical weekday is

• Breakfast (at home)
  • blueberry granola cereal with almond milk
  • bread with butter and chocolate sprinkles
• Lunch (outside)
  • pretty much whatever I feel like eating (burrito, pizza, kababs, sandwiches, chicken tikka masala, etc)
• Dinner (at home)
  • the lentil soup described below
