Answer 1

what do you call significant...? Here is a plan...

Understand, this is a quick weight loss solution, meaning, temporary. You may possibly gain all of it back, or more. This is a very extreme way to do it but its been effective for a short term solution (2-4 weeks).

In order to get the body to release fat, you have to understand some realities.
# The human body is not really capable of shedding more than 2 pounds of fat in a week, especially on an ongoing basis, and even 2 pounds per week would be an extreme!
# The human body is capable of losing far more than 2 pounds in a week, but that would indicate loss of either muscle or water.
# Muscle loss is guaranteed to decrease caloric burn and slow metabolism.
# Water loss is temporary.
1st Part is Diet adjustment - lean proteins, complete proteins, protein shakes(drinks), and leafy green vegetable or other type of vegetable meals. Chicken, Fish, and Turkey are your proteins, none of them fried, broiled, or microwaved. Vegetable meals include salads, or meals with all veggies.
No white potatoes, no white flour, no white sugar, no grains at all, unless they are whole grains such as protein rich brown rice. No artificial sweetners (Splenda, Aspartame), no heavily processed food meals, you want to turn your body into a machine that burns up the fuel (food you eat) quickly. You dont want any excess calories from anything so you eat or drink and no diet drinks because those are more detrimental to metabolism because of how the body elimanates the chemicals they contain.
Drink nothing but water, maybe a little juice but preferably vegetable, cranberry or grapefruit those help to flush the kidneys and curb your appetite, in the early part of the day, and herbal tea(such as green tea), and I say again NO diet drinks.

2nd part workout adjustment - workouts must last at least 2 hours or more, preferably in this order activity (such as aerobics, martial arts, racquetball, basketball), followed up by intense cardio.
Or medium intensity weights followed up by intense cardio. Do plenty of stretching before and after and drink plenty of water. This must be done at least 5 days a week and a sixth day do light cardio, preferably light walking or even yoga or pilates and stretching and take one day off to rest completely.


The third part is the part I least like and I only advise this to clients in extreme weight loss deadline cases. Diet pills - Lipovarin is the one I recommend the most, only because it has good ingredients that individually can be effective, but together arent much better (at least like they claim it is). Hydroxycut and Trimspa are also ok (and cheaper), and thats only because they publish their ingredients. Many diet pills wont make their ingredients readily available, which has to make anyone leery of them.
Examples of Your Workouts
These are just examples, adjust them according to your lifestyle and schedule.

Exercise Activity
# Swimming
# Racquetball
# Basketball
# Step Aerobics
# Kickboxing
# Martial Arts
# Spin Aerobics

# Perform medium intensity resistance exercise in sets of 4 and 12-15 reps for 45 - 60 minutes per day, 6 days per week

Monday - legs, shoulders Tuesday - Upper and Lower back, biceps, abs Wednesday - Chest and triceps shoulders Thursday - legs and abs Friday - Upper and lower back Saturday - Chest and triceps and abs Sunday - Rest and Recuperate

# Perform staggered intensity aerobic exercise immediately following resistance 30 - 45 minutes

Monday - Stairclimber, long low intensity session (45 min) Tuesday - Bike short intense (20 min) Wednesday - Elliptical, alternate high, low end (30 min) Thursday - Stairclimber, short intense (20 min) Friday - Bike long low intensity (45 min) Saturday - Treadmill, alternate high, low end (30 min) Sunday - Rest and Recuperate

Keep in mind this is not a normal routine for most people. This is a routine designed for quick weight loss and nothing else. You should not prolong this routine more than 4 weeks and a max of 6 weeks. Your body will adapt and you may subject yourself to injury due to the physical stress you will place on your body for too long of a period of time.
As with any type of exercise consult with a physician to make sure you can handle physical stress of working out. If you have any injury while doing this then stop immediately and seek medical attention.
Remember this is not a lifestyle change, this is a temporary quick weight loss solution and you will likely gain some of the weight back.

Give water or juice fasting a shot. Basically, you just don't eat but you drink lots of water and healthy juice. I know you said that you didn't want to stop eating, but honestly, if you want to lose a DRASTIC amount in a short time, you're going to have to go to drastic measures. Do some good cardio exercise (like jogging) every morning for at least 30 mins. Drink LOTS of water. If you decide not to opt for fasting, just eat healthy. Maybe buy some healthy choice TV dinners to eat for your meals, or go buy a jumbo pack of frozen vegetables and steam them and eat them as meals. There's really no clever trick to lose a drastic amount of weight in a short time, the only thing that will work is drastic effort. And fad diets you might try will probably result in you losing water weight, not actual weight.

Also, I'm assuming you're trying to lose this weight for some sort of event, maybe a class reunion or something? Keep in mind, what you choose to wear to whatever event that you go to will affect people's perception of your weight. Choose your most slimming clothes. If you have to, go to a department store and have someone who works there help you pick out a new slimming outfit. If you do have your hair styled in a way that is kinda "big" (lotsa volume), it will also make it look like you weigh less. It will make your head appear larger, which will make your body appear smaller by comparison. Wearing tall heels also helps.

In addition, if there's a local gym or spa in your area, you might want to go visit a sauna shortly before the event (like the day of it, or the day before). It will help your body sweat out lots of water weight, making you look *slightly* smaller, and more toned.

My current boyfriend of a year and half that I currently live with now and love very much... used to be overweight and looks amazing now. He was overweight from about middle school until he was about 20 or 21... then one day started eating right an exercising and lost something like 80 pounds by the time he was 22 or 23. We met when he was 24 and he looked like a rock star. We started dating, and I didn't believe him when he told me he used to be fat... he had to show me pictures. But that still doesn't change my opinion of him in any way, and I love him to pieces. His past doesn't matter.

Answer 4

your not going to like this, but there is no way to loose a drastic amount in such a short time.

You can loose about 2lbs of fat per week if you are doing absolutely everything right. (counting calories, lifting weights, running, eating 5 meals per day, water intake, etc...)
