What is the best way to lose weight?

Question

I want to know the best way to lose weight, and keep it off.

Answer 1

Change the way you eat...forever.
ALWAYS eat small amounts of healthier foods (raw veggies, lean meats, apples, etc). Keep bad foods away from you. Don't buy or eat chips, cookies, sausage, or whatever else you know is considered bad foods. Indulge in your favorite candy bar--but only once every few weeks. A handful of pretzels will cure a salt craving. Don't drink alcohol or soda. Drink milk and water.
And Exercise--a dreaded word...
BUT...simply walking alot more ever day counts. IE: stairs instead of elevators, parking farther away so you have to walk extra steps. Just take the long way, by foot.
And then make it a habit to ALWAYS and FOREVER do these changes. This is a slow process, but it does work.

Answer 2

The best way to lose weight ALWAYS is by modifying your diet and getting regular exercise. Have your doctor check you out before you begin any program.

I've found that modifying my diet to include salads and more fish helps a lot. And salads don't have to be boring. Mine include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, artichoke hearts, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, grated carrots; almost anything can go into a salad. And remember to use light dressing with as few carbohydrates as possible.

Stop drinking soda, even diet if you can. Diet soda may have zero carbs, but it is VERY high in sodium, which makes you retain fluids. Try drinking water with lemon, or hot tea with lemon.

Start exercising slowly. Walking is good. Start with fifteen minutes a day and work up slowly. Add some weight training.

Discipline is important, but even if you backslide, it's not hard to get back on your program. Don't beat yourself up. It's hard to say "no" to cake!

And if you can have a friend do all of this with you, it's easier to do, and more fun to stick with.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Balance diet (3 times a day) and 1 hour excersise minimum 3 times a week. Not snacking in between, but enjoying a great galaxy on the weekend but only 1 packet not 10!

It's the most difficult thing to keep the weight! I've always tried my best, and yet i still put on weight with age. The younger you are, the easier to loose the weight.

Best diet is put plaster on your lips not to eat the way i do sometimes!!!

Answer 4

A good way to lose weight is with "The Negative Calorie Diet":

http://www.hiphil.net/answers/negcal.html

"The Negative Calorie Diet" is based on more than 100 foods, that require more energy (calories) for your body to digest them, than the calorie content of the foods themselves. This causes the body to draw on its fat reserves to process the foods.

Hope this helps.
