Question

I need to quickly loose weight. I exercise, but what should my diet consist of?

Answer 1

Try this for a start, the go on to a well balanced diet and regular exercise. This does work.......

BASIC FAT BURNING SOUP

6 large green onions 2 green peppers
1 or 2 cans of tomatoes [crushed] 1/2 bunch of celery
1 large head of cabbage 1 pkg. Lipton onion soup
4 cups of water

Season with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. curry, 1 Tbsp. parsley, if desired or bouillon or hot sauce. Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil fast for ten minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat the more you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. If eaten for indefinite periods you would suffer malnutrition.
=============================================================

DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks; unsweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.

DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh, raw, or canned vegetables. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinner time on this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Do not eat any fruits.

DAY THREE: Eat all the soup, fruits, and vegetables you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten for three days as above, and have not cheated, you will have lost 5 to 7 pounds.

DAY FOUR: Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can on this day along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but on this particular day your body will need the potassium and
the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.

DAY FIVE: Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water
this day to wash away the acid in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day.

DAY SIX: Beef and veggies. Eat to your heart's content of the beef and vegetables this day. You can even have two or three steaks if you like with the green leafy vegetables, but no baked potato. be sure and eat the soup.

DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables. Again, stuff yourself. Be sure to have the soup at least once today.

At the end of the seventh day, if you have not cheated on the above diet, you will have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming again from day one.

This seven day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being as never before.

After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17 pounds, having an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference.

This diet is fast, fat-burning, and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beveragesat any time because of the removal of fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Because everyone's digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you did not cheat. After
being on this diet for several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need the caffeine after the third day.

DEFINITE NO-NO'S: Fried foods, bread, alcohol, no carbonated drinks, including diet drinks. stick with water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice, and skim milk. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish or baked chicken {skinless} for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef the other day.

The Basic Fat Burning Soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry. Eat as much as you wish. Remember, the more you eat, the more you will lose. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both physically and mentally.

Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet.

Answer 2

It doesn't make any difference what you eat - it's the calorie defecit you need to loose the weight. To loose 1 lb, you have to burn 3000 more calories than you take in. Starvation, however, is not a good way to go because your metabolism will shut down and your body will not burn calories as quickly (It's also unhealthy) The best thing to do is eat a 60 to 100 calorie mini-meal every 3 to 4 hours. Like a peice of fruit, low fat cottage cheese, a peice of boiled chicken - anything with high protein or high fiber is a good choice. There are many good websites that can show you what activities burn X number of calories per hour, and how many calories your body needs based on your height, weight, age and sex. If you can get those 3000 per day burned, you will loose 10 lbs in 10 days. Also stay away from salt and high sodium foods and drink plenty of water.

Answer 3

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 4

You can't do it. Two pounds a week is the most you can safely lose by cutting your calories by 500 a day and exercising 500 calories a day, but 500 calories a day of exercise is way too much for an out of shape overweight person. Walking a mile burns about 100 calories depending on weight and speed. So you'd have to walk 5 miles a day. Too much to start with.

Answer 5

Well, I don't recommend this for full time, but if you are in a pinch and need to lose weight really quickly, try looking up the "cabbage soup diet" on the Net. You should be able to lose 10 pounds in a week. But don't do this for long term...it is only meant to be a quick fix.

Thats impossible to lose that much healthily. Most of it will be water weight, so you'll gain it right back once you eat normally again
