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 and no smoking if that applies. 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. Don’t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. 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.

Diet pills are not a way to lose weight companys just sell them so they can make money...the pills are like candy or a nasty drug you get addicted too. Exercise once a day for like 30 minutes-45 minutes...but can go longer if you want...make sure you bring water. Also working out at a local gym. No diet pills...i have learned the whole thing about those in school...just advertising and wanting to make some money.

The purpose of this guide is to provide information on popular weight loss drugs. people who have difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone,there are a number of FDA-approved prescription weight loss drugs that may help."On average, individuals who use weight loss drugs lose about 5 percent to 10 percent of their original weight, though some will lose less and some more," says the FDA's Colman.

Short term weight loss drugs include: Bontril (phendimetrazine tartrate), Desoxyn (methamphetamine) and Ionamin and Adipex-P (phentermine). Prescription weight loss drugs are approved only for those with a BMI of 30 and above, or 27 and above if they have other risk factors, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.People should contact a doctor before using any kind of drug, including a weight loss drug.

Drug treatment may be necessary to induce weight loss and weight maintenance.Two medications currently are approved for long-term weight loss treatment: sibutramine and orlistat.Phentermine, a noradrenergic agent, is approved for short-term as a weight loss drug.

Orlistat (Xenical), Roche Laboratories' new obesity treatment, has been approved for obesity management when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Orlistat is intended for use in obese patients with an initial body mass index greater than or equal to 30, or greater than or equal to 27 when accompanied by risk factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes. The Xenical weight loss drug is also indicated to reduce the risk of subsequent weight regain.

Krista says: "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. "

ROTFLMAO!!
There's no proof that anyone needs that much water. NONE. Just folklore, urban myth, old wives' tale. (See references) And the belief that "it helps your body pick out the nutrients" is just plain unfounded. Your body does a fine job "picking out" nutrients with or without excess fluids.

Bottom line: Drink when you're thirsty. Period. Do not obsess over or worry about getting some arbitrary amount of water as a daily "goal". You already get most of the water your body needs from the food you consume. The rest of Krista's advice is reasonable. But she's got some crazy ideas about physiology.

Can try Xenadrine or Stackers, but really is best to watch diet as far as not too many carbs and eat mostly for his type of blood. There is a great book called Eat Right 4 Your Type. The theory is based upon eating soley for your type of blood in your system. Another good thing to do is make sure you begin a diet with a good colonic cleansing program, check out www.DrNatura.com. Best thing I have ever done for myself. Prevention is better than cure...

Do NOT take pills to lose wieght!
They are related to high blood pressure (hypertension) and palpitations, heart problems and heart attacks..

NEVER give your medications to other people. They may have medications that react to your meds and may be allergice to them or have a reaction to them or you may make then ill.

If he wants help, he has to see a dietition.

Try get him to do some gradualy increasing exersise, eat less fish and chips, fatty foods like pizza and Chinese take aways etc.

Also, if he has problems with his weight, consider a visit to the doctors, he may have hypothyriodism (low thyriod action).

DO NOT PERSCRIBE OR DISPENCE HIM MEDS, YOU CAN KILL PEOPLE DOING THAT!!!!

Answer 7

The best way to lose weight is to eat less and walk more. The diet bills are not a good idea.

Answer 8

Diet pills are all scary and a bad idea in my opinion. If your cousin is already athletic, advise him to cut back on simple sugars and non-complex carbohydrates. Eat more nutritious food and step-up the exercise.
