Any diet will work but what is important is how you feel during this diet because if you are not feeling well, you will most likely give up on it and do a day of binging then trying to do another "fast" fad diet the next day. This type of cycle does nothing but set you up for failure and weight gain. Best to exercise and eat less of the foods you like. Keep in mind the following when looking to lose weight:

Diets and changing your eating to healthy food choices can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.

You may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable.

This all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet.

Please learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.

P.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

Reducing the number of calories you intake is the fastest way. Combining this with resistance training and exercise will help you maintain the muscle mass that you have while reducing the fat weight. Remember, the faster you lose weight the more likely it is that you will put it back on, aiming for 1-2 pounds per week is healthy.

if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that.

1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day

2.) drink lots of water

3.)exercise every day

4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

Good luck. I mean it. You may be saving your life. I saved mine.

The best way to lose wait is cut ALL caffeine. Cut ur meals in half and drink alot of water.

Also work out about 2-3 times a week on a bike, treadmill or something u feel comfortable.

U can lost up to 50 pds in a couple of months. its takes time but its safe and makes you appreciate it since you worked so hard and it will also give u more energy and strength.

start with water and cardio... warm you body up to they new way you are going to treat it.
I've been told that drinking half your body weight in oz is the appropriate amount of water for a 24 hr span. ex: if you weigh 200lbs drink 100 oz of h20 a day.
this is also a good starter plan for loosing. 3-5X a week
15-20 min cardio
3 sets of exercise (12 reps each)
5min cardio (keeps the heart rate up, burn more calories)
3 sets
5 min cardio
3 sets
20-30 cardio cool down

This is how I lost 47 lbs in 6 months, no flab. all tone!!! Remember to eat wise.
