Answer 2

Well.
Losing weight is something that is very hard to do if you are not focused. Also make sure you are losing the weight for a good reason. Not because somebody thinks you are fat or nothing like that.

Breakfast is very important make sure you eat something in the morning. Lunch is where you can cheat alittle because you are going to work most of it off before dinner. Dinner should be simple and also eat early, the later you eat the worse. Make sure you have healthy snacks like cottage cheese and water is a must 8 glasses a day!

Happy weight lost!

Answer 3

Your question begs more questions i.e., How long do you have to lose this weight, what is your current weight/height, fitness level, etc. Moreover, 4.86 lbs/week sounds a little aggressive.

That said, you should concentrate on eating healthier. The majority of your diet should come from fresh, non-processed foods such as fruits and vegetables and lean meats.

For example, breakfast might be something like egg whites, a banana, and a glass of milk; tuna sandwich (mustard is OK, no mayo) with lettuce on 100% whole wheat bread or pita bread and an apple for lunch; dinner would be a chicken breast with green beans; for a snack, have a piece of fruit or vegetable and/or a handful of nuts. Of course, you will have to determine the portion size based on your body.

Try to limit your carb intake after 4pm and try to do 1/2 hr to 1hr (depending on your current fitness level) of exercise daily.

Answer 4

To lose weight, you have to eat less than you spend in energy. Take in 1500 calories, and spend only 1000, and you'll gain weight.

Unless you're WAY overweight (i.e. hundreds of pounds), losing 5 pounds a week is not safe, nor will it likely stay off.

To successfully lose weight, change what you're eating - reduce calories by reducing portion sizes, or removing high calorie items (e.g. full fat cream in your coffee can be swapped for skim milk and save about 100 calories there... similarly sweetener for sugar and you've saved 50 or 60 calories). Fat and sugars are calorically dense - a small bite has lots more calories, so watch for those.

Read labels - they will help. Sugar free doesn't always mean good for you - many of the low fat low sugar snacks have more calories than their "real" version - so if you want a cookie, have a real one - but one, not the whole box.

Look for someone or a group to work with on losing weight - Weight Watchers has worked for many folks for years, in great part because they are a group - but there's others out there - Overeaters Anonymous, for example, which doesn't charge fees.

Weightwatchers.com has recipies for free that fit their program - basically low fat, low sugar. There's other sites out there - just search for diet recipies.

One diet I've used that worked for me was simple (I'm doing this from memory, so it may be off a bit):

Breakfast: 1oz protein (low fat cheese, egg, eg)
1 slice bread (or 1 oz cereal)
1 glass milk
1 fruit (4oz orange juice, orange, apple)


Lunch: 3-4 oz protein
green vegetables (i.e. not potato, rice, or winter squash)
2 slices bread

Dinner: 6-8 oz protein (preferably lean)
green vegetables
optional starchy vegetable (small potato, corn, cup of rice)

Snacks: Vegetables, vegetables, vegetables. Oh yea, one or two glasses of milk in addition to the above. And two or three fruits.

Also "no-calorie" foods in moderation (e.g. sugar free jello, sugarless gum/candy if 10 cals or less per serving)

Oh yea - exercise. Lots of exercise (start slow...) -- handles the other side of the equation, the amount of energy you use.

Check with your doctor first, too - they may suggest losing extra slowly depending on your health - and will probably have a nice balanced eating plan for you.

Answer 6

You need to stick to the REAL way. Your heart and other organs will thank you for it. Eat healthy (2-3 servings of whole grains, 2 servings of lean protein [ie cottage cheese, chicken, fish], 4-5 servings of variety of vegetables, 3-4 servings of variety of fruits, and one small treat a day), drink lots of water (at least 8 8oz. servings, no more than a gallon a day), do at least 30-45 minutes of cardio 5 days a week (walk, run, swim, aerobics, etc) and weight train 3 days a week (you can do this at home with free weights and a good routine out of a book or on line). YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS. IT'S THE WAY PEOPLE WERE MEANT TO LIVE!!!


By the way...if you lose more than 3 pounds a week you are doing something wrong. You will hurt your body and will probably gain it all back very quickly.

Answer 7

breakfast...1-2 pieces of fruit and 2 cups of water.
lunch...2 bowls of salad (no dressing!)...1 piece of fruit/bread...2 cups of water
dinner...Broiled Fish or Broiled Chicken or just Salad, Include some Rice and Bread, plus 1 piece of fruit...2 cups of water.

MORE WATER=LESS PAIN IN YOUR EXERCISE. YOUR MUSCLES WILL SWEAT MORE THAN BECOMING WEAK. It's Amazing.

Make sure you drink 6-8 cups of water daily. This'll flush that fat.
Exercise in Long pace, instead of difficult power pace for short periods of time. This means jog 2-3 miles instead of running just 1. Got a running machine? Configure it and burn at-least 100 Fat Calories (if you get tired before that...walk the rest. Grab some reading material! This is the only way you'll burn a lot of the fat quickly) Do 30+ jumping jacks before you stretch! This helps you get even more loose, due to the blood flow. Lift Dumbbells instead of Bench press. Do up to 100 reps.

Alternate between upper and lower body muscles each day. Walk/Jog/Run every day though. Start with lots of Jogging first though. Make sure you can Jog 2 miles without getting tired before taking on running a whole mile. It requires a lot of preparation, so your lungs can handle it. Either that or you can risk collapsing onto the ground from a lack of stamina.

Work Smart and feel the exercise as a spiritual thing...just like a monk. Go ahead, meditate to catch your breath so you can get it caught up quicker than just standing with panting.


Good luck! I love exercise programs.

Answer 8

That is too much weight to lose in one week.

Look up drphil.com and find out info about the Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge. Get his book from the library.

Increase your fibre intake with vegetables. Make yourself feel full by drinking a glass of water before meals. Eat lots of raw foods.

Answer 9

Believe it or not, but if you eat 6 small meals a day every 3 hours it will speed up your metabolism & in turn lose weight. If you do weight training with it too, you will further speed this process up.

Try & incorporate some form of protein in every meal, this will increase your metabolism.

Breakfast - Cereal, 2 boiled eggs
3 hrs later - banana, yogurt.
lunch - tuna sandwich, banana ( or any form of protein with some small amout of carbs)
3 hrs later - rice bar / cereal bar
Tea - chicken, steamed fish, with salad / vegetables
Dinner (if your still hungry) - small tuna salad, or anything with protein in, not too many carbs tho.
Hope this helps ya out.

Answer 10

To lose 4.86 lbs in a week.. every week, is not healthy. A person on drugs loose at about that rate if not faster. A more realistic approach would be 1-2 lbs per week, lots of veg./fruit, no meat slimfastshake for protein, lots of water, and exercise... you could also try fasting for 1-2 days to flush your system. Try it with cayenne pepper/real lemons and maple syrup. Then follow a strict diet with exercise.

Answer 11

Technically, if you want to lose weight, it doesn't matter what you eat. It matters how many calories you eat. If you want to lose weight, you simply have to consume fewer calories. The page below will tell you how to calculate it.

Furthermore, you can't fine-tune weight like that. The body isn't so precise that you can lose 5 lbs per week. My weight naturally fluctates about 3 lbs per day (simple eat-evacuate cycle) and about 10 lbs per month (due to the menstrual cycle).

Finally, weight doesn't matter as much as health. What few calories you do eat, try to make them count. Vegetables tend to be low in calories for the amount of nutrition they have, as well as nuts, beans, and lean meats like fish and poultry. Try to stick to filtered water for drinks because even juices have too many calories with too little worthwhile nutrition.

I hate to cook, so I tend to have weight loss shake for breakfast, salads for lunch, and fruits, nuts, and vegetable sticks for snacks. For dinner, it's usually grilled fish or chicken with a side of veggies, or sometimes stir-fried chicken with broccoli.
