Answer 1

Reduce your daily calorie intake to 900. Most peoples bodies natural burn 1400 calories a day. Reducing you intake lower than this will cause you to lose weight.

Answer 2

Dont be so ridiculous. Unless you are an MD of a large organisation or a 500k per year banker, i find it very difficult to beleive you "dont" have enough time to find 5 hours in the week to exercise. This just sounds like a convenient excuse; and the only person you are lieing to is yourself.

Anyway, all you need to do is the following, and the pounds will fall off:

Dont eat anything which is fried, battered, crumbed or flame grilled.

Instead, eat things which are roasted, grilled, blanched or boiled.

In other words: Cut ALL of the uneccessary crap OUT of your diet. Such things include pizza, chips, crisps, chocolate, sweets, cake, cream, or anything full fat/high in fat, sugar or salt.

This is great, because it will save TWO of your pounds: those off your *** and those in your wallet.

Then eat a HEALTHY, BALANCED diet, which is fruit, veg and the "good" meats - which are basically fish and poultry. Only eat red meats occasionally and stay away from anything high in calories, fat, sugar or salt. You will look 100% better for it BOTH internally and on the outside.

FINALLY, get down the gym. Four times a week will suffice. Make sure you work out for around an hour to an hour and a half. Aim for 50-60 minutes CV and then 30 mins doing some weights. You should burn off at least 600-700 calories, probably more depending on how hard you push yourself. Why the weights? Dont worry, you wont end up with a 6 pack (if you are a woman), but its not running etc which tones you up - its weights. Why is this beneficial? Simple - the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism, which means even when you are just sitting at your desk job, you are naturally going to be burning off even MORE calories!!

NEVER EVER diet either. Science has proved no diet has ever worked, the majority are dangerous and the human body is genetically incapable of dieting anyway. A balanced "diet" - or way of eating - is exactly what the body was designed for.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Reduce the coloric intake and increase the amount of exercise.
Eliminate the fat, the glucose, and the salt from your diet or cut down on it as much as possible. Don't eat fast food, processed food, packaged snack food, salty foods, and sweet foods. Don't drink alcohol, avoid pasta, rice, sweet vegetables, salad dressing. Park away from wherever you are going, avoid elevators, if you use stairs on a regular basis, get a back pack and fill with books so it weighs about 20-40 lbs. Eat in moderation. If you eat steamed vegetables and steamed chicken for dinner and plain tuna with no mayonaise or dressing for lunch over a week, and make a diet shake or milk for breakfast you will lose a few pounds in a week.

Answer 4

Reduce your calorie intake a bit, drink lots of water, cut out junk foods, sodas, alcohol, etc (anything that is empty calories) and exercise when you can.

Can you get up a bit earlier and squeeze in a 30 min workout before work...how about after work? Even if it has to be three 10 min segments during your day, that'll help...park far from the store or office so you have to walk, take the stairs instead of elevator when you can, little things like that will cause you to burn more calories during your day and they add up...

Good luck!

Answer 5

There are diets, exercises of course to do, you know that already. Something else to remember that will assist in losing some extra /couple' of pounds . . . cut out or way back on junk food eating. Not realistic to have no junk food, simply cut way back on that. That snack eating and larger portions than necessary in large part add to extra pounds. If you move to a strict 'diet' you might be setting yourself up for setbacks. Logically thinking . . . fast paced walks, responsible eating, limit junk / snack food, no eating past a certain time of evening, and do eat HEALTHY snacks between meals . . . this will keep those food urges away.

Answer 6

Eat 5 6 small meals a day instead of 3

Answer 7

Don`t drink so much & don`t eat fattening things when you do, eat lots of fruit & nuts, try to lose gradually (1-2 Lbs / week ) losing 2 Lbs is not nearly enough, if you dont succeed you will regret later on, walk to work or to shops or whatever is practical & drink more water & eat slowly,

Answer 8

ok two words PORTION CONTROL!!! eat slowly ( 30 - 45 minute time period) this will give your body time to tell you its full when you are full drop the fork even if it is the best pie in the world. drink lots of water and cut out fast foods and soft drinks cut back on sweets dont cut them out completly just dont eat as much and most of all find time to exersise even if it is parking at the end of the parking lot at the supermarket or even just taking the stairs GOOD LUCK it is easier than it sounds and remember this is a lifestyle change not just a 2 week thinkg because when you stop you will possibly gain more than you weighed before dieting

Answer 9

well you wont lose weight if you do not excercise, you need to exercise, walk in your lunch break get a least half hour a day, you will feel better for it, i get 2 hours exercise everyday because i don,t have a car and i am superfit, i would be obese if i had a car, keep off the junk, as well and it will soon come off theirs not much to it really. eat good wholesome food, don,t eat in the evening apart from something light, and your beauty will increase..

Answer 10

try to walk at lunch time if you can. Use the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. Try to get up an hour earlier in the morning to exercise, it will realy energize you too for a long work day. Eat healty meals and eat healthy snacks. Good luck, hope this helps.

Answer 11

Mom said it...stop all white flour and refined sugar...no nutritional value there, and drink plenty of water(8- 8ounces a day)...

This is not the fastest way but, you can eat all of everything else, just be sure to check carefully the ingredients on packages and cans,

Consider this a change of eating habits, not a diet for a short while.

And say to yourself " I eat to live, not live to eat" several times a day...

Good Luck,
