Hello Zakir - you can calculate your ideas height and weight here http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

I am not a believer in teas, potions, pills or patches for weight loss because I think your body has a natural way to self-regulate.  You can read more about that at http://www.ditch-diets-live-light.com/body-wise.html .  Your body will probably prefer eating smaller quantities throughout the day when you're eating in a body-wise way.  And here is a fabulous 10=step recipe to follow for losing weight naturally:  http://www.ditch-diets-live-light.com/summer-body.html

Going from breakfast to supper without eating I'm quite sure if not what your body likes, but if you're going for all those hours without eating, your body thinks it's in starvation mode and slows down it's metabolism (you can read about that at http://www.ditch-diets-live-light.com/basal-metabolic-rate.html ).  This is also why exercise is so important.  So if you have a very sedentary lifestyle you'll always find it difficult because your metabolism will be sluggish.  Think about ways that you can incorporate more exercise into your life.  Could you possibly walk during your lunch?   If you watch TV after work could you be doing exercise while you're watching?

Kind regards and good luck
Cari
