Answer 3

The best way to lose weight, follow a healthy eating plan and exercise. If you have the cash you can always try meal replacements.

Overall a lifestyle change is better, the obvious things less fried foods, more fruit and vegetables, less salt and cut back on alcohol. Also the exercise you choose should be fun if possible - like dancing, swimming, cycling.

Good Luck - losing weight and keeping it off - is a challenge.

Answer 4

Changing your eating habits and exercise. I'm being losing weight since the first week of March and I'm down 35lbs, of course under a doctors supervision.

I currently cannot have starches/carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread), I can't have greasy foods (fried), I have to eat chicken BREASTS, turkey BREASTS, and any fish except catfish. I only have select vegetables and fruit. Each meal has to consist of 1 meat, 1 veggie, and 1 piece of fruit. This is two to three meals a day.

I run a mininum of 2 miles a day, 5 days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays I push it a little harder because I have more time, I do a jog/walk combination of 6 miles.

So if you think there is a magic remedy, there isn't. The question is how badly you want it and what you are willing to do to achieve it?

Oh, I cheat on Saturday's, but the next day I'm right back on track following the plan. I don't want this to be so rigid that I go crazy and overdue it when I achieve my goal.

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck!

Answer 6

Krista is full of crap:
"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "
BS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.
"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."
More BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.
"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."
WHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.
"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "
More crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients.

Don't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

Answer 7

I've found that excising for at least 30 minutes every day, not eating 2 hours before I go to sleep, and to stop eating when I'm full to be the cheapest and most efficient way to lose weight and keep it off. Good luck!

Answer 8

Exercise every day, even if it's just a walk. Go on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Eat fish, eggs, chicken, occasional lean beef or pork, low fat cottage cheese. Stay away from regular cheese, no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, peas, beans (except green beans). No fruit and no fruit juice (it's sugar water, my dr says). Cut down on carrots and tomatoes (included ketchup). Use mustard instead of mayonnaise in recipes. Eat lots of salads, green vegetables. Salads only have one tablespoon of dressing for the whole salad. No ice cream, or other desserts. 8 glasses of water a day. No caffeine

Answer 11

if you're looking for something long-term, you're gonna have to implement lifestyle changes. in other words, stay away from the standard american diet (s.a.d). this means no chemically processed foods, soda, chemical sweeteners, monosodium glutamate, trans fat, ect...

but if you're looking for something short-term, you can try Tetrazene ES-50 or its isolated active ingredient, which is glucomannan. it's a natural fiber that's guaranteed to work. it's derived from the konjac plant...

if you're interested in purchasing tetrazene, you can check out the website: www.tetrazene.com...

or if you'd like to save money and purchase glucomannan, buy a bottle from vitacost.com which will be good for a 60 days.

i recommend you purchase the isolated ingredient instead. it's the same thing, plus you save money...

with a sensible diet and moderate excercise, you're guaranteed to lose weight. i had a friend who lost 100 pounds in 6 weeks.
