1. Drink water
Water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off longer term.
Water acts as an appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to false cravings/hunger.
Water also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste. When you don't drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy helps the kidneys eliminate waste and becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.
Drinking water ice cold burns about 62 calories a day. Your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body's temperature. This equals around 430 calories per week.
2. Eat regularly
This means eating 5 times a day and the most important meal is breakfast.
Make sure you fuel your body first thing in the morning to avoid hunger pangs later in the day.
When you eat 5 times a day you will never feel hungry, make sure the total calories consumed are sensible and don't over eat in any of the meals learn portion size control!
3. Eat lots of fibre
Eating adequate fiber foods to help keep things moving through your bowel. And like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel fuller for longer.
Fibre is found only in plant foods our bodies cant digest it to so it simply goes through the body. During the elimination process it cuts calories consumed by attaching to protein and fat that you eat along with it removes that as well
In addition, high fiber foods are typically low in calories and filling, so you are reducing your calorie intake overall.
Good fibre foods include: strawberries, apples, figs, chickpeas, potatoes, (with skins) broccoli, brown rice, beans, bran and nuts.
4. Consume more good fats
There are good fats and bad fats
Good fats provide you with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) needed for normal reproduction and growth, as well as for production of prostoglandin, a hormone like compound that regulates blood pressure, prevents blood clotting and lowers the risk of heart disease.
For example, the reason oily fish is a great food stems from the fact that the essential fatty acids which it contains can actually help your body burn fat more efficiently and protect against disease. Get at least three portions of oily fish a week with Salmon, mackerel, herrings and sardines being good choices. 5. Get plenty of quality protein
Quality protein is an effective weight control tool because of the satiety factor and its ability to keep you full for longer periods. It also balances out carbohydrates by preventing insulin spikes that cause energy loss and sugar cravings
Protein helps to maintain muscle mass which is important in the fat burning process.
Good choices include:
Fish, shrimps, Low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, skimmed milk, egg whites, s Weight gain is caused by consuming too many calories, whether they are from carbohydrate, protein or fat.
6. Carbohydrates can help you lose weight
Don't believe what you read about carbohydrates being bad for you, they can actually help you lose weight!
A diet containing good carbohydrates such fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and moderate in fat and calories, will result in weight loss
Good carbohydrates will also help you combat hunger pangs as they are slowly realized into the body.
When eating carbohydrates eat them "from the earth" with no refining or processing.
These include whole grains, vegetables; fruits and beans.
Sensible weight loss
If you have read the above you will see that it is not the food group, but the quality of the food in it that's important for fast weight loss.
OR IN SHORT------

You need portion control. Eat 6 meals a day, small though, im not talking about a cheese burger happy meal. Around 150 calories a meal. Drink a lot of water or add the crystal light in. If youre full of water youre not going to want to over eat. Make sure you drink a glass before you eat. ALWAYS MOVE! Waving your arms burns cals! So does tapping your feet! Any type of movement will burn cals, get up, stand up, jump around, do anything just make sure you keep moving. Honestly if you do just those 2 things you will lose about a pound or 2 a week. If you add in some exercise, you'll be great! You can do it. Those Lean cusine meals are greatly portioned if you like them, and no measuring needed. Get some fruits and veggies to munch on when you get cravings, and just keep busy!

All three need to work together: cardio to burn existing fat, diet to avoid consuming excess calories, and strength training to build muscle that will continue to burn calories at rest. You should aim to burn about 1000 calories a week to lose about 2 pounds of fat. I suggest wearing a heart rate monitor during cardio exercises to be sure you are burning calories within your range. Eat small, frequent meals 5-6 times a day (no more than about 400 calories for breakfast, lunch, dinner and about 200 for mid-morning/afternoon snacks for a total of 1800 calories per day - once you start eyeballing portions and reading nutrition labels, this will become like second nature to you) and focus on building your largest muscles (legs and back) for extra fat-burning powerhouses. Never skip breakfast and try to do cardio on an empty stomach (you can have some water) like the first thing in the morning when you wake up. If you choose to run, take it outdoors for maximum burning power. Also, be sure you eat your meals within an hour of exercise because your body is still burning calories within this window after you've worked out. If you can concentrate on building muscle so you are burning an extra 50-100 calories at rest, cardio exercise to burn fat, and diet to limit excess calorie intake and moderate portion control, I guarantee you'll not only lose the 15 pounds but you will also be able to keep it off for years (if you maintain your activity and diet). Good luck!

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
Get started today!

Interval training. In other words, 10 minuets of cardio then 5 min. of weight lifting, then back to 10min. of cardio.
Your cardio can include dance, running, jumping, anything to get your heart pumping.
Then, keeping your heart rate up by walking in place, lift weights. No more than 5lbs. You do lunges during this period for example, but keep your heart going! Then go back to cardio.
After your satisfied with your weight loss, do pilates or yoga to firm up. Don't worry about buildind bulk like a guy. Women are geneticaly enginered to be un-bulky. Just switch up your rutine every other week, and you'll see great results in a month! Good Luck!
