how can I lose weight fast without using pills?

Answer 1

Fast? How fast? Do you want to be healthy or skinny? The key is to be fit, not thin. Once you have decided you want to lose weight you have to be willing to do the work to do it. It won't be easy and if you want to keep it off you have to make it your life, not just remporary. First thing you need is exercise. Cardio is the best way to lose lbs. Running is the best cardio exercise for weight loss. You don't need any expesive equipment, just a good pair of running shoes. If you don't think you can run start out walking and gradually add running intervals until you can run your entire workout. You will have to get up an hour earlier because you MUST work out first thing in the morning if you want to drop the lbs. If you don't want to get up earlier you are not going to lose the weight. Working out first thing in the morning gives your metabloism a boost that lasts all day long which means you will burn more calories through-out the day even if you are just sitting. Make sure you stretch first, walk for 5 min. to warm up, run or jog for 30-45 min., walk for 5 min. to cool down, and then stretch again. Also be sure to eat a good healthy breakfast afterwards. That will boost your metabolism as well. As for eating, you need to be aware of everything you put in your mouth and only eat when you are hungry. If you drink soda you need to either stop or switch to diet. Cut out all deep-fried foods like fries, chicken tenders, chips, etc. Eliminate cheese altogether. Better sources of calcium include skim milk, low-fat yogurt, fat free cottage cheese. No nuts. They are heart healthy fats but they are still fats and if you are trying to lose weight you are better off avoiding them. No alcohol. It's a waste of calories. Make sure you are drinking 8 glases of water daily. To build muscle, which also burns calories, do some weight training or take up pilates. Last but not least, stop eating 3 hours before you go to bed. Your metabolism slows tremendously when you sleep and anything that you put in your stomach before bed will just be stored as fat. If you follow everything exactly as I have told you you should see the weight drop pretty quickly. You won't see much weight change on the scale right away because at first your body is going to build muscle, which weighs more than fat, but also burns more calories, but you will see a change in the way your clothes fit. After a few weeks you should start seeing the pounds drop. Any questions or problems just email me. I am glad to help.

The best thing that I have found for short term weight loss is the Atkins diet. Before you say all the bad stuff about it, let me explain. This diet is only bad when you are doing it for more than 6 months. For a quick "drop 10 pounds in 3 weeks", it is not unhealthy and is effective. Also, if you will just stop drinking sodas(even diet), teas, or coffee for one week... I guarantee that you will lose about 5 pounds. It only works like that for the first week. If you are a caffeine addict, eat a small piece of chocolate when the headaches start. It is not hard to do for only one week. You can add lemon juice and Splenda to the water to make like a lemonade if you just absolutely hate water.

Answer 3

First, see a doctor and make sure that you're healthy enough, and ask for a referral to a dietitian. Go join a gym with a trained, certified and licensed weight trainer. Combine good nutrition and weight training and you'll not only lose weight, but you will become much more active and energetic and get toned (not just lose weight and remain flabby-soft).

It is the quickest, safest way to lose weight and you pick up good habits to carry you throughout your life.

Answer 4

Go on a fruit and veggie diet. Stop drinking soda and eating junk food. Drink a lot of water. Work out for an hour a day. 4 to 5 times a week.

Answer 5

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout to use as well.

Answer 6

The South Beach Diet has worked great for my husband and a bunch of friends! He's been on it for 3 1/2 weeks and lost 26 pounds!

Good Luck!

Answer 7

Eat a healthy well balanced diet, get plenty of fiber and drink A LOT of water, like 10 glasses a day. Check out weight watcher online or ediets.com

Answer 8

Eat lots of veggies, raw if possible, drink iced tea - I don't like just plain water, so for me tea was a better option - plus, tea is a natural diaretic - grilled chicken, it's easy to spice it up lots of different ways and almost no fat, popcorn makes a great snack cuz it's crunchy and satisfies your urge to snack - and get out and move!! Walk, go up and down stairs rather than use the elevators. Lots of good ways, not many easy ones, but you can do it!!

Answer 9

Exercise daily for about an hour, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and eat fish or seafood. Also, bake your foods instead of frying. Walk everyday if not twice a day. That is how I stay in shape. Also, drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep. Do not eat after 8:00 in the evening.

Answer 10

THe best way is the old fashioned way, but everyone's always saying the south beach diet, or this, or that. Just eat 3 meals a day that are good for you, and excersise 3 times a week. You'll do great.
