what's the best way to lose weight?

Answer 1

First of all your body can healthly lose only 2-4 lbs a week. Also i would not reccomend one of those diet books or programs because once you lose the weight you will go back to doing what you did before and gain it all back.
Here is what you need to cut out of your diet or limit.
-sodas they are empty calories and just add fat.
-also juices try to limit 1 cup of o.j. has as much sugar as a can of soda.
-fast food. they provide no nutrients and terrible meals they do have healthly selections at all fast food stores if you pic those you will do much better.
-junk food is also empty calories its ok now and then just don't over do it.
Here are foods that you can indulge on.
-veggies since they are so healthy for you and provide you with many nutrients the calories in them are meaningless.
-water!! you should drink64oz. a day at first you will pee alot but then you will get used to it.
-when eating meat try to eat chicken because it is the best.
other tips
- try to have baked foods not fried.
-eat breakfast and try to have it mostly be complex carbs like oatmeal and wheat bread they will give you energy all throughout the day.
-don't skip meals when you do your body thinks it is being starved so it will hold in more calories instead of burning them.
WORKING OUT
you need to buy some weights or go to a gym and work on increasing your muscles. because that will increase you resting metabolic rate which is how many calories you burn while simply doing nothing and you will see weight loss just from that also doing 50-100 squats(5-10min) will help increase muscle in your legs.
running is also a good way to help your overall apperience.
and pilates is a good way to tone your body a simple pilates tape done three times a week along with weights and you will see a difference.

go online and find some healthy meal recipes and use them try to reduce the number of calories you take in daily but not by too much.
hope this helps you.

and make sure not to over eat try to get no more than2000 calories a day

remember you can't just lose the weight and then go back to the way it was before this is a lifestyle change you can still eat bad foods but they must be in moderation

Answer 2

The key to losing weight is increased excercise and decreased calorie intake. So basically you need to eat enough calories to sustain your body mass and then supplement that by increasing your excercise to burn calories. This is the only proven and healthy way to lose weight successfully.

Although there are many "diets" that promise to have you 3 dress sizes smaller in 2 weeks - they are not healthy for you and do not provide a long-term maintenence plan. A diet, by definition, is your daily intake of food... we are all on DIETS every day - when we want to lose weight, we need to MODIFY our diet - not "go on a diet".

If you are wanting to lose weight and keep it off - especially a significant amount of weight - you need to modify your LIFESTYLE. Changing what and how you eat for a few months is not a successful way to keep the weight off. You need to change the foods you eat, the way you eat them and how much you excercise - permanantly.

Unless you have a medical condition (like I do), which makes it nearly impossible for you to lose weight, increasing your excercise and decreasing your calorie intake should work for you if you stick to it. If it is not working, you may need to consult a doctor to find out why it isn't working.

It can be a struggle at first - but if you are serious about losing weight, you will succeed!

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 as well.

Answer 4

exercise and eating right. It is hard work but in the long run the best way to get it off and keep it off. worked for me over 100lbs in the last year and 4 months and still going. None of the pills of fad diets worked in the long run sure saw results at first but eventually ended up gaining the weight back and then some, so my advice gotta do it the right way
