hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... and as general info... 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...

Also... Dont try short term diets...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 :)

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

I don't know what your body type is, but are you sure you need to lose 10 -15 pounds? It sounds like you have a healthy weight. I can't imagine that you look fat. You should focus on building muscle to tone up so that you will look good for that two piece. If you are flabby, losing 10 pounds is only going to make you skinny and flabby. Join a gym or get a workout DVD that will help you tone up. Work out 3 times a week. You may not see a difference in the scale, but by building muscle you body will look toned and hot in a swimsuit.

You can lose 10-15 pounds, if you actually need to, health wise, if you go on a sensible diet - (emphasis: SENSIBLE) and a good excercise program. Eat health, and excercise well, and you should easily lose 10-15 lbs. Not all at once, of course: expect to lose 1 or two lbs. a week. Losing weight quickly is often very, very unhealthy. A good workout should be 20 min. a day, three or four days a week. That should help you lose fat which is more important than losin weight, really. Weight doesn't show overall health: technically, Arnold Schwarzeneger is overweight, but do you think people think he is fat?
Last of all, consult a doctor or a reputable dietician for help with all of this. Often people will hear about "this great diet that really worked" and try it, not knowing that it might have adverse effects. Your doctor should be able to help you with a plan, and if in fact one is really needed for your overall health.

Do not be sensetive about your weight.

Any way follow some tips to work for entire of your life.

Good luck.

Generally you gain weight because of fats deposits, just dissolve them. How?

People go for losing weight by pills or starving.

Pills do not act effectively and for longer durations. Pills have many side effects for your health.

Starving weakens you and your defense system is also weakened. This makes you less resistant against infactions and other diseases.

The best way is to lose weight by change of diet and your physical activities.

1. Reduce or stop to take oils and fats.
2. Stop taking sugar and glucose. (Mainly tea, coffee & cold drinks.
3. Stop taking potato, rice.
4. Reduce wheat and corn as much as possible.

Take vegitables, boiled meat, fruits (even sweet).

And at the top of all:

Walk at least 40 to 60 minutes twice a day.

You will start losing weight to the extent of daily difference.

"Recently I've tried the Hollywood juice Diet it really works!!!" guaranteed to loose 7-15 pounds in 3 days. Your local pharmacy/drug store carries it. There are many brands to choose from depending on how much you want to spend. I personally lost 12 pounds following it to the T.

How to lose weight is one of the most common questions that people in the western world ask these days. And, most

people want to know how to lose weight naturally, instead of having to use drugs, which may have bad side effects.

We all have very busy lives and everyone wants to know the fastest way to lose weight.

There is really no mystery about how to lose weight; it's simply a matter of using up more calories - or energy -

than we take in. To lose weight fast usually means significantly reducing our calorie intake, by monitoring what we

eat, and also increasing our activity and exercise, to burn the calories we do ingest. This is called a diet and

many people use this method, only to find that they may lose some pounds or kilograms, but quickly put the weight

back on when they revert to their previous eating habits.

The problem is, that many people are their own worst enemy when it comes to weight loss. They consciously yearn to

have a slim figure, but subconsciously love sweet and fatty foods. So there is a continual battle going on in their

minds and, guess what? The subconscious sweets and fatty food loving mind always wins out. We may consciously think

that we are convincing ourselves that we want to shun foods that have little nutritional value, but deep in our

subconscious minds, we want them and love them.

Eat less.

This revolutionary diet has me down 55lbs so far (I swear I'm not joking).

Just start eating half of your normal plate of food. It's actually pretty easy.
