Does anyone know a diet that you can lose weight FAST?

Answer 1

Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.

There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.

The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.

Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.

To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.

For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.

Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.

There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you exercise them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.

If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Fast weight loss diet

Fast weight loss dietOne of the health conditions that are now being referred to as epidemics is weight loss. It is important that each and every one of us must be aware about his/her body weight as there are number of health related risks that only weight with weight loss. If you think that you are one of those overweight people, it is best for you look into possible fast weight loss diets.

* Number of people thinks that solution to weight loss problem can be summed up in a single term which is known as "calories in and calories out." It means that in order to lose weight, you must burn off more calories than you take in. But doing this is not always easy. This is why you have to look for a diet that should go about achieving the proper "calories in and calories out" ratio.

Fast weight loss diet principles
* You must look for a diet that makes good nutritional sense for you. A fast weight loss diet that promises a 10-pound loss in a weekend may sound great, but if this means you only have to consume fruit juices for three days, you should know better. Losing weight is not about losing nutrients at the same time. Your body needs nutrients, and without these or lack of these can greatly affect your health.

* A good fast weight loss diet should encourage exercise at the same time. If they tell you that the diet does not require exercise, you have to consider other options because the diet's goal is not good health. A combination of proper diet and exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce that weight fast.


Today number of fast diet plans is available in the market. And many of them will not work for you. So it is very necessary for you to choose the best diet program for you. I think the basic principles which I have mentioned here will surely help you to find the best diet plan for you that match your weight loss requirements.

After having a child I lost 75 lbs by, eating just cereal everyday & for every meal 5 days a wk. on weekends, I hate only lowfat foods and not after 5 p.m. Such as, baked chicken, 1 veg, and zero to nonfat desert. I did not give up my sweet tea through the week, and ate any kind of cereal out there. Anytime, during the day I'd eat a bowl of cereal if I got hungry. It work quick also!

Answer 8

Walk for at least one hour a day. Just walk. That is all the excercise you need to do. Do not eat things like potatoes, bread or pasta after 3pm. Have a big breakfast and a smaller lunch, with a tiny dinner. Never eat before going to bed. You will go to sleep and all that energy will be stored as fat.
