hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...

Also... short term diets are no good because , they terribly pull down your body metabolism rate since you dont eat much during that period ... Because of this , once you break your diet , you'll start putting on more weight, the reduced body metabolism will take longer and slower to burn the food you take in...

They also dont work because once you break your diet and start eating normally, you will get back to your normal weight as you might not be cautious as to how many cals you take in per day...


i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...

just dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...

i'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)

the trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)

what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...

vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...

fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit


now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)

here they come :)

fast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...

its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...


my diet...
breakfast:

skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...

and try cereal in the mornings... oats, weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...


for lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...


then for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...


eat sandwiches as much as possible... i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies...

and combined with dieting... you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday... you'll see the difference...defenitely... if you think gym is boring... take up dance classes... or run along the beach... if you have one... or skate... or just about any physical activity... brisk walking will also help...
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight...

drink loads of water...atleast 6 glasses per day... and do a lot of physical activity.... take the stairwy instead of the lift.... and small things like that...
if you have any more queries...mail me... cheers :) and good luck :) its not difficult...you'll get used to it in a few days... and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body...

you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down... after that... its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise :) also check your weight everyday... its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres :)

Try fasting. Drink lots of water. The stomach will shrink and you will fill up very quickly with very little food afterwards. Since you will be going below 1,000 calories, the starvation response will kick in, so you will want to try to keep a little bit of activity like walking. Day 2 or 3 is the hardest, but someplace around 4 or 5 won't be so bad. Then go back to eating, a little. But you will want to be back to carefully eating real food a day or two before the party, or you won't be able to eat at the party. Good luck.

Fasting is the quickest way to lose weight. But it could be done for a few days to make it easier to use a healthier, less fattening diet. Site below has info on what many MDs say about fasting and also has page about diet and exercise to lose weight.

situps, you will have to do shakes for at least two meals and i sould suggest cardio 1 hr five days a week at least and eight glasses of water (eight ounces) a day. Sensable dinner, meat size of a deck of cards... indulge and gorge on vegetables only. Take in only whole wheat if you need carbs other wise i'd reccoment shredded wheat for breakfast or fat free yogurt with grape nuts. more veggies less fruit.

The potato isn't all that healthy and you want extra stuff for breakfast. Fats free yogurts are additionally unhealthy, they're traditionally modified not to have fat. The average fats in yogurt is just right for you. Make certain they're simple yogurts too, the fruit and flavored ones are full of sugar.

well it would be good to have a look at the Atkins Diet, it'll have results in 2 weeks... although u might stink abit whilst u are going through it... But please remember, just be youself, are u Paris Hilton splashed all over the internet or a successful Graduate of school (I don't think Paris Hilton Graduated)

The potato is not all that healthful and you want extra stuff for breakfast. Fat loose yogurts also are dangerous, they are often transformed to not have fats. The normal fats in yogurt is well for you. Make definite they are simple yogurts too, the fruit and flavored ones are stuffed with sugar.

Go to faddiets.com, they have fad diets which say you would lose 10lbs in as little as 3 days. They aren't permanent but they get you the temporary satisfaction that you need. They can make you dizzy though so becareful and don't do it often!

Go to these two sites, they will help you with the answers you are looking for. One of them is the new food pyramid given to me by a nutritionist and the other is by Kellogg's. Both are great sites with lots of info.
