Weight loss????

Question

how would you recommend to lose the largest amount of weight in a short period of time without any kind of supplements.
how much weight would this allow you to lose and what kind of foods would you eat/ cut out?

Answer 1

Hi, I've been helping people stay healthy for a bit more than two decades (20 years) and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance. If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:

1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Also remember that you may need supplements to help things along.

3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.

8) Lastly, remember that you're doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.

Keep up the good work. I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

As for what to take, that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level.

Drastic weight loss in very dangerous. There is no sound medial evidence to show that diets work on the long run.
- One can lose a lot of weight very quickly by not eating, that will harm your health in a most terrible way and just not worth it! Not eating causes low blood sugar level, which makes people real cranky and horrible to be around + makes your breath stink too!
- Supplements are chemicals that change your metabolism (the 'machine' that makes the food in your tummy into fuel for your body) They are awfuly bad for you!
- My advise is:
A: Don't Snack! (Don't eat between meals) If you must, have a piece of fruit. (even low fat snacks have enough calories in them to turn into fat, worse they just make you even more hungry!)
B: Eat fresh vegetables, fatless meat and very little bread! Don't fill up on starchy foods such as bread, potato and rice they make you feel heavy and tired.
C: Walk Fast! Anywhere and everywhere you can, and do it as quick as you can!
Walking Fast for a half hour per day alone will make you lose more weight than any diet or suppllements in the same amount of time!

Answer 6

I have been using acupuncture for weight loss for the past 3 weeks or so and it really works. Of course, it has to be accompanied by a diet (No carbs!) and make sure that your acupuncturist is certified!

Answer 7

change your diet, dont eat sugar or flour. no fast food. if you cut 500 calories a day you lose a pound of fat a week. but you cant just sit around and do nothing. you have to be somewhat active. start eating natural foods, vegetables, cut out red meat, higher fat content. turkey is the leanest land meat, next is chicken. fish is good, but still some can be fatty. have fish about once a week. make sure you eat the correct serving sizes. eat complex carbs instead of surgars for energy, thats pastas rice and grains.

Answer 8

firstly you need to do some free wieghts and running. running looses weight and fat, weights tones you up and reduces sag and turns flab to muscle. secondly do the above three days a week and drink plenty off water and eat fish, pasta, eggs, drink milk. do all this and you will loose a huge amount of fat like i did and all the people i ahve trained did. so good luck.

Answer 9

Atkins is a good one. I lost 1 1/2 stone in 3 weeks.

Answer 10

Having less than 1 200 calories a day may slow down your metabolism
