Answer 1

You can't lose weight in a way that is both healthy and fast.

However:

Adopt a healthy diet. Cut out all sodas, even diet sodas. Drink more water and juice. Don't drink sweetened fruit juice. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

Also begin an exercise program. Try to run or use an elliptical for 30 minutes a day. As you get stronger, add time and distance, and if possible, resistance.

If you want, take some days off from running and lift weights. You'll be looking to tone, so do many reps with lighter weights. I recommend joining a health club. Most will give you one free session with a personal trainer to show you the right way and the wrong way to do things.

One thing to remember is that muscle is more dense than fat. So even if you lose inches, you may gain some weight to start - no big deal. It's better to be a little heavier but a lot healthier.

Answer 2

Instead of loosing the weight, tighten up your body instead.

You do this by picking up something heavy and holding it for 60 seconds, once a day, 7 days a week.

What to pick up? How about a couple of 5-gallon pails with lids?
Home Depot sells them. You can get restaurants to give them to you too. They throw them away all the time.

Put some water in each pail. Put the lids back on. Pick up the pails, HOLD them for 60 seconds. Keep your elbows bent, your knees bent, and bend over. This makes the muscles hold the weight, not your bones. Use a clock with a sweep second hand to keep track of the time.

What to make it more effective? While at Home Depot, but a concrete construction block. Set it on it's side. Holes sideways.
Wearing shoes, step up and down on the concrete block holding the pails of water. Do 5 minutes in the morning, when you wake up, 5 minutes at night, before you go to bed. Wear shoes when doing this. Concrete cuts!

Once a week, add a little more water to the pails.

Answer 3

I don't know you exercise or work schedules but if you are a regular 9-5 person try doing some type of aerobic exercise before work. in addition to whatever exercise you get in the evening.(Assuming you don't, and you get all your normal exercise after work)

The reason is that when you exercise it increases the metabolism. The metabolism stays at an excited rate for hours after you've finished exercising so you're burning more calories at rest (work/school).

1 more tip is to drink plenty of fluid (preferably water or non-sugared juices). Water helps stabilize glucose levels an it also flushes the body of waste while distributing the needed vitamins to cells.

Hope that helps

Answer 5

U know, I haven't tried it, but my mother recently told me about the cabbage diet. If u eat cabbage for a week (full 7 days), w/ some fruit as a snack (excluding bananas), u can lose up 10 pounds in 1 week. I don't know if it works, but u might want to try it. It's recommended that u shouldn't stick w/ the diet for a long time, just about a week.

This site specializes in that with secret trick models use to lose 5 pounds and fatten tummy before an event. Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

Top weight loss tips

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.


* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.
