Question

i dont care if its healthy or not. i just need tips to lose about five pounds very quickly...a little food would be good.

Answer 1

eat right and LOTS of cardio

Answer 2

If you've got no particular health problems, interestingly the Atkin's or South Beach diets work quite well to lose significant weight quickly. Neither are particularly good to follow for long periods of times, due to concerns about high cholesterol and heart problems, but work quite well in the short term. South Beach diet is probably safer than Atkin's.

I personlly don't follow either diet, but it does seem that eating more lean meats/eggs (proteins) and veggies and cutting down on carbs (minimizing the potatoes, pastas, rice, breads) does do wonders.

Another (healthy and) easy quick fix for 5 lbs is drastically cutting down your salt intake.

If you want to have longterm effects though, only a lifestyle change with exercise and a healthy, balanced diet of controlled total calories will do it.

Answer 3

Completely cut out refined sugar and white flour. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, no breads or pastas (subsitute brown rice for pastas and rice cakes for bread). Limit intake to 1000 or 1200 calories a day. Read ingredient labels and take note of what you are buying. They are sneaking high fructose corn syrup into so many things it is shocking. It makes you want to eat more and packs on the weight.

Perimeter shop at the store and avoid prepared foods. Drink lots of water, take a good B-complex vitamin. You will be amazed at how good you will feel.

If you need a little sweetener, use honey. Simply fruit fruit spread is wonderful instead of jelly, Smuckers all natural peanut butter has no sugar. You can spread it on a rice cake.

Answer 4

It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.

Answer 5

Definitely eat right and exercise. Going hungry might make you lose the weight initially, but it will cause your body to lower its metabolic rate which will cause you to gain back more weight than you lost once you start eating again. Ask your doctor for advice.

Answer 6

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.
