Answer 1

The simplest answer about losing weight;

Use up more calories than you take in. That's it.

You could even eat sweets all day, but if you exercise heavily to counter it, then you would break even.

Exercise, focus on cardiovascular and aerobics. Try to avoid weight lifting and such (or at least limit it). A nice 20 minute jog everyday does wonders.

Answer 2

there is no 'magic formula' or shortcut to losing weight fast--but here are some things you can do:

1) exercise! any form of aerobic exercise is the best (running, swimming, skip-roping etc) because it gets your heart rate up and makes you sweat. aim for half an hour of exercise three times a week. lifting some light weights (repetition over heavy weights) can also help you tone. shake it up and do a bunch of different activities, or call your friends out to join you so it wont get too boring.
2) drink water! you're losing water as you sweat, so keep up the fluids. plus, water does wonder for your skin!
3) cut (or at least reduce) your sugar intake. take it easy on the coke, chocolate, cookies, all those sweet things that taste good (i know its hard :p). up your fruits/veggies and decrease (but don't cut) your carbs.
4) get sleep! a solid 6-8 hours really makes you feel great.

some people experience an initial weight gain when they start exercising (and drinking more water), but thats because your body tends to want to hold on to water supplies until it realizes that you are faithful in replenishing your body with water. then you'll see the weight drop :). so dont be discouraged if you dont see immediate results--you'll see it for sure by homecoming! consider a lifestyle change--making 'being healthier' a goal, and you'll be in good shape in the long run (rather than gaining, and then losing and gaining again in some viscous cycle).

good luck, and keep at it! :)

Answer 3

My doctor once told me I could lose 12 ugly pounds immediately by cutting off my head...

Unfortunately that's the only way to lose weight fast. Start now learning proper nutrition and put exercise into everyday - if only for 15 or 20 minutes. The only good way to maintain weight loss is by consistently eating properly and exercising. The weight will come off slowly, but it will stay off as long as you maintain good habits.

I wish I had done so at 17; I would not be the fatty I am today.

Try this simple plan,it really worked for me so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.

Answer 5

I'd suggest drinking tons but i mean tons of water, go running atleast 4 times a week for like 30 mins. Cut down on fast food joints and eat salads and granola bars n yeah thats all i can think of. Good luck man!

Answer 6

I would ask your cross country or track coach at your high school if you can work out with the team for weight lose purposes. Im sure he'd be happy to let you.

Also eat smaller food portions and low carlie food with low trans fat. And Drink water.

Answer 7

First of all, drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day. Next eat only half of whats on your plate, but...........always eat your protein in a 3-1 ratio meaning for every three bites of protein that you eat, you take one bite of something else. And lastly make sure you chew you food excessively to the point of baby food consistency. Not only does that promote slower eating but better digestion. Good Luck!!!

Answer 8

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Answer 10

Seek medical advice before attempting any diet.

But diet alone won't work. You will need a lifestyle change and exercise.
