Answer 3

You can lose weight by eating almost anything. The thing is if you want to lose weight, you want to keep it off. If you try something you can't do for the rest of your life then the weight will just come back and then some when you begin to eat the way you have been eating. Try to eat on a salad plate and do not eat seconds. Eat all food groups, just watch that you don't eat to much of each. Eat all the food at the same time, not just all your potatoes and then all your meat. Many people save the best for last thus they eat everything. If you eat all food at the same time, then pay attention to when you feel full. Stop. You should eat 5 small meals/snacks a day. You need to burn calories and you can't get the fire burning if you don't feed it. And exercise is a must. Use your head, exercise, eat right and you will lose and it will stay gone forever. Fad diets don't work.

Answer 4

It depends upon the kind and amount of fruit you eat. But it would not be a healthy way to lose weight unless it was just a day or so.

Answer 5

Yes, but it wouldn't be very healthy for you. You need a balanced diet of protein, whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and dairy. You must get plenty of protein to maintain your muscles which includes your heart muscle. A friend developed serious heart damage from being on a diet that didn't provide enough protein.

Answer 6

Don't do that, you need all of your food groups to be healthy. Plus, you won't have a life, you'll be on the shi.tter 24/7. Here is a healthy diet and exercise plan that is extremely effective, will keep you regular and get you to drop pounds and build some muscle.

Getting rid of fat in general, building lean muscle, and defining your physique is 60% diet, 30% exercise, and 10% mental thought. You must eat the right foods, exercise more often than you don't, burn more calories than you consume, think and speak positively about yourself, try making life as stress free as possible, and get rest so that your body can repair itself.

Portion control is the key to reaching your goal. You don't want to over-eat. A portion should be the size of your fist. Meals should consist of one portion of carbohydrates and protein, and a portion of fat (is: a handful).

Carbohydrates: Apples, Bananas, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Mangos, Pineapple, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Celery, Carrots, Broccoli, Asparagus, Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Corn, Steel Cut Oatmeal, Whole "Grain" Bread.

Protein: Egg Whites, Salmon, Tuna, Halibut, Chicken Breast, Lean Ground Turkey, Turkey Breast, Protein Powder, Protein Bars (Power Crunch Bar, Cliff Builder Bar) You don't want a high calorie, high fat, high sugar bar. The two I listed are good ones, and they taste great too!

Fat: Organic Peanut Butter, "Raw" Almonds or Walnuts, Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing. (Only consume a handful of nuts, with your breakfast, lunch, and dinner.) Fats help with digestion.

You want to have 4-5 small meals per day. 2-3 hours apart. You will never go hungry and your metabolism will not slow down. Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed. If possible get 8 hours of sleep, this plays a major role in losing belly fat.

Meal Planning: (Preparation is key.)

Meal 1: Protein, Carbohydrate, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)
Meal 2: Protein shake or bar (A glass of WATER)
Meal 3: Protein, Carbohydrate, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)
Meal 4: Protein shake or bar (A glass of WATER)
Meal 5: Protein, Carbohydrate, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)

Drink half of your weight (or more) in oz. of water per day.
(ex: 120lbs = drink 60oz. of water per day-or more.)

Exercise: (Arrange this plan to fit your schedule).

Mon- light weights upper body, 30-60 min cardio, and abs
Tue- cardio 60 minutes (power walk, run, elliptical, etc.)
Wed- light weights lower body, 20-30 min cardio, and abs
Thu- cardio 60 minutes (power walk, run, elliptical, etc.)
Fri- light weights upper body, 30-60 min cardio, and abs
Sat- cardio 60 minutes (power walk, run, elliptical, etc.)

It’s important to sign up to a gym, perhaps get a workout partner/personal trainer it offers motivation.

This is my plan that I have made after doing research. It has worked for me, and I've helped friends lose weight this way! If you stick with it, it eventually becomes a lifestyle. If you are going to eat junk food, do it in moderation. Eventually you won't even crave it.I like to keep my diet as natural and organic as possible. Multivitamins are also a good idea, just to help strengthen your immune system.

If you are looking for a health book that offers more information on food, fitness, meal planning, and motivation; I am a big fan of the "Body-for-LIFE" book as well as the "Eating-for-LIFE" cookbook both written by, Bill Phillips. It is what got me where I am today, living a healthy and satisfying life.

There is also a great website: http://www.fitday.com
FitDay is a free online diet and weight-loss journal. The FitDay journal allows you to track your diet and activities with no guess work. This lets you take control of your diet and fitness and achieve your fitness goals.
