Answer 1

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Answer 2

As I am sure most people will tell you, if you try to take off weight too fast you will likely have a hard time KEEPING it off. Anyone can lose 10 pounds fast, but it's not REAL weight. It's not pounds of FAT which is what you want to lose for any long term real loss.

Now that being said, to answer your question, there is a way to accomplish the goal. It's called The Master Cleanser. It's very difficult but you can do it.

If you click on the source below, the diet is outlined there.

Another way would be through Bikram Yoga. Find a class in your area through the school locator on the website listed below.

Keep in mind in the long run that the only true way to long-term weight loss is this. It takes 3500 calories to make one pound. So in other words, to lose 2 pounds in a week, you must create a deficit of 7000 calories. Let's say your metabolic rate is similar to mine and you naturally burn about 1400 - 1500 calories a day at rest. That means that if you take in the same amount of calories each day and do no exercise, you will stay at the same weight. If you want to lose 2 pounds a week, you would need to create a 1000 calorie deficit every day for a week. You could come up with that equation by eating only 1000 calories a day and burning another 500 calories by exercising moderately (moderate jog, elliptical, aerobics) for about 45 minutes.

By the way, what is happening on August 4th? That happens to be my birthday :)

Sit down, watch a lot of TV, read diet magazines, and eat as much fried food as you can. You might even be able to gain fifteen pounds in the next month instead of just ten.

Answer 4

Remember to exercise for atleast 30 mins everyday. Daily exercise helps you strengthen your muscles. Your muscles help to speed up your metabolism. Drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated, but I advise that your avoid alcohol and pop, and stick to water and natural fruit drinks. Alcohol and the caffeine and sugar in drinks such as coke make you gain weight.
