Answer 1

So you're determined you're going to do something about your weight. But what? Being overweight is not in itself a behavior. You don't do overweight. Being overweight is an outcome of many behaviors that add up to consuming more calories than you're expending. (Yes, there's a genetic component too, but you can't change that.)

The good thing is that this gives you lots of places to start moving toward your goal of losing weight. The challenge is sorting through them all and finding what will work best for you. So here's the question: What are you most ready to change?

Behavioral researchers have identified five stages in behavior change:

1. Precontemplation: You're not even considering it. No way you're gonna give up your pizza and beer. Gym-going is not for you. Why walk when you can ride?

2. Contemplation: Well, maybe you could live without pizza and beer *every* week. Gym is out, but you always liked swimming, maybe a pool. The walk in the park with your friend was pleasant last weekend, maybe you could do it again.

3. Preparation: Next week you're going to skip that pizza. You found out the local Y has a pool and their family rates are affordable. You talked to your friend about doing more walks sometime.

4. Action: Two weeks and no pizza. You joined the Y and you've swum laps there a couple times. You and your friend have gone walking the past three Saturday mornings.

5. Maintenance: The weekly pizza has been a thing of the past for six months. Swimming is so much a part of your daily routine that you don't feel right if you skip it. Those Saturday walks are don't-miss tradition.

In fact, this readiness to change model is behavior-specific. That is, you might be in the action stage with the pizza but still in precontemplation on that exercise stuff. You're not likely to be very successful if you flog yourself for not swimming laps every day, what you want to do is move yourself to the next stage: List the pros and cons of regular exercise and guess what, you're thinking about it and that means contemplation.

So think about the behaviors you can change to lose weight. What stage are you in for each of those behaviors? In each case, what can you do to move yourself to the next stage? What are you most ready to change.

Answer 2

Technically, you should only lose 1-2 pounds a week for a healthy lifestyle. I lost up to 5 pounds a week and that is because I ate no fatty foods, and ran/walked for hours a day. Also stay away from any salty foods because your body retains more water and makes it look like you gained weight. I would recommend diet pills, but I haven't had any success with them and don't recommend them at all. Also drink LOTS of water, as it helps flush all the bad stuff out of your system and helps increase your metabolism as well.

Answer 3

1) Eat less meat. No beef or pork. However; skinless chicken or buffalo meat are fine.
2) Drink Lots of water. Avoid soft drinks at all cost! Organic juices have lots of sugar content as well so you might want to stay away from them too.
3) Eat citrus fruits. They increase your metabolism
4) Eat like a giraffe. eg. more greens, no meat!
5) Watch the calorie content of your salad dressing,cooking oil, sauces, and etc. Always try to go for non-fat, low calorie foods.
6) Don't drink homo (10%) milk.
7) Don't take diet pills. You might lose weight and look good on the outside but it deteriorates your organs.
8) Eat tofu/beans to replace the lack of protein from meat.
9) MOST IMPORTANT: Exercise everyday! One exception is a broken back

Answer 4

Reduce food intake increase exercise and you will see results, if you dont see results in the first 4 weeks you will not likely stick to it. Good luck.

Answer 5
