Best weight loss plan for body type?

Question
Dear Reverend Abbott,

Hi. My name is Nilu, and for a year now I have been struggling with my weight.  I exercise regularly (3 times a week for 50 minutes) (aerobics), but fear my eating habits are much to blame.  I find myself snacking when I am not hungry, and even when I do eat, sometimes tend to overeat or to eat too much of the wrong thing (eg. breads, chocolate, ect).  I need some help and thought you seemed qualified to provide some. I am only about ten pounds from my goal weight, but those last ten pounds are the hardest! I love my breads and pasta, but know some changes must be made if I am to improve my image.  Can you please suggest a diet/eating plan that you think would be right for me?  I am smaller boned and used to have fast metabolism until I worked at Pizza Hut, and ate lots of stuff I shouldn't have.  My metabolism has since seemed to slow down.  I want to lose weight and am willing to commit, but am having a hard time starting and finding a plan best suited for me!  I appreciate any advice you can offer and look foreward to hearing from you!
Thanks again!

                            Sincerely,
                             Nilu Os

Answer
Your metabolism likely slowed down because you started dieting (no kidding). Our bodies have a biological instinct to survive what it perceives as famine or starvation. Even if it has to break down bones, muscle and organs to store as fat, it will.  Once the muscle is depleted or lessened, the metabolism slows.  It's a vicious circle.

Ideally, what you need to do is eat MORE of the right things throughout the day and increase activities that build or tone muscle. Just plain brisk walking for 15-20 minutes a day will help tremendously!  

Set meal times for yourself throughout the day and make sure you don't skip even ONE!  You've got to start with whole grains and be sure to include FATS in the way of peanut butter, soy, olive oil, canola oil, etc. (lots of choices!) - since these will actually encourage your body to maintain a good weight (or even lose weight).

Check my site for more information on HOW to do this what really happens. There's also HONEST, reliable eating information for how to NEVER have a weight problem!

ce your body is convinced it's not starving, and you've got regular activities that get your heart rate up at least every-other day, your metabolism should correct and the difference will be amazing.
