Answer 1

There are 6 simple steps to quick & easy weight loss.

1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. That's right, wake up, and eat like you would normally eat and count the calories in everything you eat and everything you drink and keep track of it on a piece of paper or on the computer some where. You might be thinking to yourself, "yeah right, I'm not gonna sit around counting calories all day." Well, if you're thinking that, then you're obviously not dedicated enough to losing weight. If this is the case, then feel free to go waste your money on the newest useless weight loss pill. But, if you are dedicated enough to take 10 minutes out of your day and count the calories, then keep on reading.

2) At the end of that day, add up the number of calories you ate/drank. Be as exact as possible. Once you add it all up, you now have the total number of calories you consume daily. Also, weigh yourself.

3) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories LESS then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would eat 1500 calories a day. Understand? All you have to do is subtract 500 from the total number of calories you consume in a normal day, and eat this new number of calories every day for the next 7 days.

4) Instead of eating 3 big meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. Doing this will speed up your metabolism.

5) Cardio. Cardio is an important part of weight loss. If you're serious about losing weight, but don't want to do the cardio workouts, then you are requiring your diet to do all of the work. Jog, walk, swim, jump rope, ride a bike, take an aerobics class, whatever... cardio + proper diet = better than just doing one of the two. All it takes is 30 minutes a day, 3 - 5 days a week. I say 3-5 days a week because I don't know if you have 5 pounds to lose, or if you have 50 pounds to lose. So, depending on how much your looking to lose, figure it out. 3 times a week is good starting point though. (For information on the most effective time of the day to do your cardio workout, read doing cardio for maximum weight loss)

6) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice a difference just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 20 pound difference. Losing anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthly. So look for a 1 or 2 pound weight loss at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can lose 5-8 pounds a month! That's around 75lbs a year! So if you have A LOT of weight to lose, you can lose it. If have just a few pounds to lose, you can lose it.

Additional tips are:

When attempting to lose weight fast many dieters naturally reduce their food consumption. To a certain degree this is correct the body must be in a state of “negative energy balance”. That is, we need to consume less calories than our body burns each day in order to start losing weight.

The problem is dieters tend to reduce food intake far too much during the initial stages. The high levels of motivation and an overzealous ambition to lose weight fast often drives the desire to cut out too many meals almost immediately. Cutting food intake sharply sounds like the right idea for losing weight fast, indeed many experience a rapid drop in weight but as more people now realize most of the loss is not fat!

If energy was the only requirement the body needed maybe this would be fine, there would be many more slim citizens amongst us. However, the fact is we also need a daily supply of many nutrients, especially protein. Not only are proteins used as the main structure for muscle they are also needed to make millions of antibodies and the billions of enzymes required for all the chemical reactions within cells, some enzymes also aid chemical reactions that are needed to help burn fat from fat cells. In fact protein requirements are so important that if intake of quality protein is insufficient the body has no choice but to breakdown proteins from muscle in order to build the necessary enzymes to sustain the metabolism. When protein is broken down from muscle it not only contributes to a lowered metabolism due to a decrease in total lean mass but also helps supply energy to the cell, which should be the role of the stored fat. Therefore muscle protein breakdown causes a short-term and long-term limitation to the amount of stored fat the body can burn off.

This doesn’t mean you must consume a high protein diet in order to keep losing weight fast. It’s more important to provide the body with a small amount of high quality protein for most meals of the day.

Good luck! :]

Answer 2

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

Answer 3

Try this, I am and the weight just melts off, and the best part is on Sunday you get to eat whatever you want! Good luck!

Change of Lifestyle 4-6 Weeks

80-100 oz of water per day

Monday through Saturday:

Coffee, unlimited but black

8:00 a.m. or earlier - Breakfast: 4-6 EGGWHITES (boiled eggs work best), 1/2 cup oatmeal

11:00 am - or 2-3 hours after breakfast
Protein shake (designers or any meal replacement preferably under 200 calories, I use WHEY powder and water, which is about 80 calories)

1:00 pm - or 2-3 hours later, Lunch:
6 oz Protein: chicken breast, white fish or ground turkey (get a scale to weigh your food)--also, 1/2 cup of brown rice or low carb tortilla (high in fiber)

4:00 pm - 2-3 hours later:
Protein shake or, low carb vanilla yogurt with blueberries.

Before the gym: a handful of raw almonds or banana

7:00 or 2-3 hours later:
6 oz Protein: chicken breast, white fish or ground turkey, unlimited veggies prepared with little oil, season to taste and remember that salt does not make you gain weight but it does make you retain water, I use some salt and many seasonings.

Late night snack: Fat free cottage cheese with pepper, garlic powder, or plain.

Water, water, water! Just make sure to purchase a Nalgene bottle and have 3 of them each day. Make sure to save some for the gym, which you will be attending 4-5 times each week, 3 days minimum!

Sunday: This is your day to do whatever you want; eat what you want: pizza, a burger, etc. Try to do something different than your regular routine as your metabolism will be shocked by the change.
Best of luck!

Answer 4

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.
