The only way you can lose a lot of weight "fast" is by using drugs or being anorexic. The only healthy way to lose weight is by diet and excercise. Taking diet pills or not eating healthy food and replacing it with some "Hollywood" diet is completely unhealthy!! Don't do it. Chances are it will just make you not hungry, and in the long run it will slow your metabolism and could cause serious health problems.
I started running a mile a day/seven days a week. It took me about 20 minutes to complete when I first started to get into shape. As I kept to my routine, I was able to complete the mile running the entire time, and I began to lose fat mass and replace that with toned muscle. Now I'm running 15+ miles a week, and I'm eating healthy. I DON'T starve myself though. Doing that will get you nowhere.
The average caloric intake for a person is normally around 1,500 (healthy) but the idea is to burn more calories than you take in each day. To make it easier on myself, I only eat 1,400 or less calories a day. But I keep the meals healthy, with the occasional snack. You don't have to stop eating foods you like unless it's McDonalds or something like that. Burgers and fries EASILY add up to about 1,300 calories.
Eat three times a day. More protein and fruits will help your body replace the fat with muscle mass. You might not lose a lot of numbers on the scale, but you will lower your body fat percentage.
Working out is NOT easy. If you're not going to stick to a routine and eat healthy, you might as well not even try to begin it. It wasn't easy for me when I first started - I had shin splints and I ran out of breath, but that was because I wasn't in proper shape. Don't expect your body to be perfect after a weeks worth of excercise and healthy food habits. You won't really see results until about three weeks into it. The more effort you put into working out, the better your results will be. And let me just say that from experience, they are simply AMAZING!
Eventually working out will be something you look forward to. The first few weeks will be tough, but keep at it - you'll pull through, and once you see the transformation of your body you'll absolutely love it and keep on it.
Here's an example of what I try to eat on different days of the week:
For breakfast I have something that will get me up and going and keep me until lunch (I eat lunch around 12:00).. 2-3 eggs (eggs are high in protein and help with weight loss and muscle gain), Activia yogurt, and a glass of milk or orange juice with pulp.
For lunch I have a salad with chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and a small amount of dressing. I might have a soda (diet Pepsi or Coke) too.
For a mid afternoon snack I pick fruit: grapes, bananas, oranges, strawberries, watermelon, etc. Fruit is very good for you and it doesn't have a lot of "carbs" in it.
For dinner I have a baked potato, spinach, chicken/steak.
This plan fits perfectly with me because I run at least 2-3 miles a day at a fast pace, and I run seven days a week. You can change the foods you use, but keep them down to small amounts so that by the end of the day, you've eaten at most 1,450 calories and you've burned a quarter of that or more for the beginning of your plan.
*Always make sure you're taking in a lot of water throughout the day as well. It will keep you hydrated and it will also fill you up so that you don't keep looking for snacks throughout the day.
** When I'm running I listen to music because it keeps your mind busy. Sometimes I go without it though so I can have good concentration when I'm running for a long long distance.
Feel free to e-mail me if you'd like.
Here are my stats:
I started running a year ago - I weighed 145 lbs after I went through my depression. I was a size seven, and I'm five four - that was BAD!
About a month into my working out, I lost 6 lbs.
I've been running for a year now and I'm a size 3/5 depending on the brand of jeans, and I weigh 127 lbs.
The results are amazing. Stick to it :) You'll love it.

I observed the booklet to be very informative and convenient to learn. I've misplaced 17 kilos in 12 days, I'm simply worried that I'm wasting an excessive amount of weight, too swiftly. I will admit I have not adopted the consultant precisely. I'm no longer sticking flawlessly to the indexed meals and meal plans (however more often than not) and doing little or no recreation, however the weight maintains flying off. It obviously works and if I'd adopted it precisely I consider it might scare the dwelling daylights out of me considering of the quantity that I'd lose. So thank you once more for the know-how. I've under no circumstances bought whatever like this earlier than considering they're on the whole filled with trash, however 3WD has been a satisfactory shock. Get began in these days!

Go on a fruit, vegetable, and cheese diet only - drink lots of water, too. It's hard to lose weight without working out, though - I'd suggest taking a walk for at least 30 minutes every day if you're really serious about losing weight. Good luck!

Um.. Increase number of meals but eat about 60% full and cut the fast food, junk food, greasy goods.
But losing weight this way doesn't make you look healthy nor in shape. So really, that in its bare minimum is JUST to lose weight.

I did the low carb thing and lost 5 pounds in 5 days...then i started excersing when i started to see results. So basically i was already losing without excersing. But when you do excersise, you look alot more sexier cause you look more toned.
