Cut off a couple legs. :) OK, for real--change in diet, increase activity, get involved in a support group, give yourself small goals and rewards for meeting them.

Answer 2

Balance Diet, Exercise and knowledge.

Balance Diet.
Eat 6 small meal a day. That way, you don't feel hungry, and your metabolism will be high. Eat more vege and fruits, and complex carbo such as wholemeal bread.

Drink lots of wate!

Exercise.
Do at least 40min of exercise, like walking and swimming (low impact for a start) 3-4 times a week. Once you are used to it, get some weight training. Mucles is the main machinery for fat burining!

Supplement.
Read up, and go to health store and talk to them. Remember spending money isnt' always the best way.

Most important. Have the determination to be healthy.

Answer 3

I am trying to lose some 20 kg. It's been three weeks and I lost 5 kg already. This is my recipee:

1. Exercise on treadmill and cycles 1 hour per day (after office hour). On weekends, 2-3 hours (try other gym equipments if you get bored with treadmill).

2. My office is in 5th fl. I try to use stairs all the time.

3. Avoid carbohydrate food (rice, etc). Meat is okay, just avoid the fat part and make it well-done to help you digest it.

4. Take multivitamins to maintain your energy level. The excersie will drain your energy.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Exercise, and diet to a net deficit of 500 calories per day. This is a safe diet, and will take off 50 pounds in a year. Do not try to lose the weight any faster than that.

Answer 5

I highly recommend Weight Watchers. Don't worry, your weight is only known by you and the instructor. It works on a point system. You get a certain amount of points to eat per day. Some foods are "free" and you can have all you want of them, but like every diet those foods aren't the most tasty. Soon you will be calculating points at a glance and eating correctly.

Answer 6

Dieting is more important than excercise. If you calculate the amount of calories that make up one pound (it is 3500 calories). So if you want to loose 1 pound, your intake has to be lower than your output by 3500 calories (calorie is an energy unit). By the way, the body burns off fat of about 2000 calories (depending on your current weight) at rest just to survive. Drinking cold water (about 8 cups a day) enhance this rate as the ice cold water you drink will end up in a urine that has the body temperature, hence drawing energy with it.

On average, one hour of excercise will burn about 500 calories. While this 500 calories enters your body in 10 minutes of eating a muffin and a sweetened coffee. It is easier to improve eating habits than to excercise regularly.

It would be better, though, to combine dieting with excercise, to get in shape and to accelerate the body metabolism. Try to avoid starving as this slows metabolism and leads to, over eating later (and putting the weight back together).

Personally, i would get on a low carb diet.

Answer 9

On Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common question amounts to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.

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 work 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.
