My favorite is the Dr. Atkins diet. It allows you to eat as much as you need but still lose quickly without exercising. The only problem with this diet is that once you cheat it's difficult to get back to it but you can lose up to 10% of your weight in the first week.

People will tell you that when you go off the diet you will gain everything back but that is the case with any diet if you're not careful.

READERS ASK: What's an easy way to lose weight other than exercise?

=================================
SUPERBOOKS ANSWERS:
=================================

There are many ways to lose weight without joining exercise classes or doing formal exercise. These are just some of the ways you can begin losing weight without an exercise program:


1. Go to Barnes and nobles (bn.com ) check the tabs at the top of the list and click bn.university , then check the side list there and click BROWSE ALL COURSES ...then look for a course called "DIET SIMPLE" . This is a FREE course, totally free, that you can take there and you probably will lose weight with it. (I lost forty pounds with the course and didn't do any exercise and didn't eat any diet food and didnt' even use sweet n low.
From time to time they keep offering this free course, so keep checking back .


2. Join a team ( a football, basketball, tennis, hiking, or some other team). So you'll be active without actually using machines to exercise or having any boring exercise program.



3 Purchase a bike and use that NOT FOR EXERCISE but use it for transportation instead of using cars and busses. Just ride this bike to work or school and back and forth and you are almost guaranteed to lose weight.


4. Switch to vegetables. Cut out all meat and meat fat, and butters and just have veggies with lemon juice or veggies with salt. That'll give you some weight loss.



5 Babysit for young children. They are very active and just babysitting on a regular basis should let you lose weight.



6. Switch to an "active" job , such as delivering flyers or delivering mail. These are natural exercises but they serve a purpose and you'll get money too.



7. Stop taking elevators. Use the stairs.



8. Eat less. Eat smaller meals but more meals instead of eating heavy, heavy meals with sauces and gravies.



9. Be active with people. For example , get a volunteer job and always be active. This will take you away from the refrigerator if you are one of those constant eaters. That will be weight loss too.

10. GO on all your child's school trips. You need lots of energy for that and it's better than doing exercise.


11. Train for a strenuous job . (for example , try out for fireman, or police officer or lifeguard) . Guaranteed weight loss if you keep at the training.



12. Eat with thin people, watch what they eat and model yourself your eating after them (BUT only if they are eating healthy) .



13. Go to weight watchers for a boost. BUT don't use the program the way that WW wants you to use it. DO not go every week, it's too expensive. Join up every six months or so and listen to some pep talks there and then don't go back for another few months. That's a positive boost. Then combine that with eating more veggies and less fat.


14. Find a phone book and look up Overeaters Anonymous. THis is a free program and they use positive thinking and they use mutual support and meetings more than they use exercise. You'll find all sorts of people at these meetings from 90 pounds to five or six hundred pounds. So you will fit right in there .



15. Train for the NYC Marathon (which is November 5th this year) or train for the Boston Marathon. Train for next year's marathon, train all year with a purpose. The winners get awesome prizes. One year the winners got free mercedes benz cars and also thousands of dollars. SO, train with the intent of winning this race.




16. Go to the senior center and meet up with someone and volunteer to help clean their cellars or houses out. You'll lose weight and you'll also be helping someone who needs the help.


17. Learn how to swim ! This is a great way to lose weight. Take swimming lessons and eat less meat while you are doing that.


18. Study to be a nurse. These people have strenuous jobs and we rarely see overweight nurses. They simply don't have time to gain weight.

19. Take a job as a garbage man in a large city. Most of them are big but thinner than your average person. And some have muscles too .



20. Go to sleep at night instead of staying up all night. If you are awake at night, you probably are eating when you shouldn't be eating. This will help you lose weight if you just sleep at night like you should be sleeping.


21. Do gardening and mow the lawn every week. (do not use a power mower) .



22 . Mow your neighbors lawns too.



23. Every day have a hulu hoop contest with your kids, and after that take them all on a family bike ride.


24. Take up karate. Most karate classes have warm ups, so that along with the karate instructions will help you lose weight.


25. Take up yoga, It's a serene practice and it will get you thinking healthier and when you think healthier you will be healthier.


26. ASK your friends and relatives and co-workers how they lost weight and see if that helps you.


27. Go hiking andbackpacking in the forest for a few days each month.


***
***
*** ONLY do these things after you check with your doctors. You shouldn't do anything that's unhealthy for you. SO double check with your doctors before doing ANY of those things listed above.


Hope that all helps you .

If there was an easy way to lose weight everyone would be skinny. Excercise is the way to go because you will feel better not only be skinnier

I dont't think there's any other way than doing exercise and eating smaller portions! Or if you like dancing you could also do that! That helps to lose weight but you'll have fun while doing exercise!

Good luck!

if you are not considering excercise, then your only realistic option is surgery. That is.

Excercise is a lot les risky and the chances of you dying as a result are low.

THere are no easy answers.

Exercise alone should be enough to kill the lbs. But eating smaller portion and avoidng large meals helps.

Normally, I'd say eat a healthy diet and exercise 30 minutes a day.
If you cut out the exericse, I'll have to change it to eat a WHOLE LOT less, including no sweets or fried food.

Which one sounds harder to you? I'd go for the first one.

fad diets. But those screw you up and aren't real solutions. The only way to heathily lose weight is with a healthy diet and excercise. It's a lifestyle. You can't escape the excercise.
