Drink lots of water. I think its about 6-8 16 oz glasses of water, I could be wrong on that figure so look it up. Water as a purifying effect on the body and it will reduce water retention due to sodium.
Count calories (not as hard as it sounds, there are plenty of sites on the net that can help you) to stay under the 2000 calories a day mark. As long as the amount of calories you burn is more than the amount you consume, you will definitely lose weight. Also, try to limit your complex carbohydrate consumption (sugar, white bread)
Do excercise, 30 minutes of cardio at least three times a week and light weight training. More muscle, even a little, burns more calories a day.
Hit the sauna, a 10-20 minute session increases your heart rate 50-75%. This provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise and is the equivalent of going on a brisk walk.
Keep your metabolism up and burning calories by eating a light snack (fruit, salad, an egg, etc) every 4 hours. If you g any longer than 4 hours than your metabolism will slow down. If you plain just don't eat than your body will actually store more fat and it will be harder to lose.
...and of course, DON'T fall into bulemic/anorexic activities. THEY DON'T WORK. I don't know you so this is just a general warning b/c that s***'s out there. Dont fall for the fads either, if we could lose 10 lbs in a weekend doing the hollywood diet then I think everyone would do it.

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!

Diet. Your fat content is created when you consume more calories than you spend. It's as simple as that. You can either diet or exercise or do both to reduce the surplus calories that your body uses. And if you find yourself starving yourself to achieve this then you're doing your body more harm than good. If you really want to eat more but don't want the calories, do 30 minutes of exercise a day -- whether it's riding a bike or simply walking.
15 pounds is a lot to lose in two months, though, and may be questionable whether that is healthy so be careful.

Don't eat fats. I got sick and couldn't eat any fats. No saturated or trans fats, no dairy or I would get violently ill. I checked the boxes in fear of getting sick stopped using butter or eatting fatty meats and was lossing a pound a day. Lots of salad, chicken, no skin and grilled dry (meaning grilled without butter or oil), no fat salad dressing and low sodium to no sodium.

sometimes it needs to take a long time to lose pound, but you can try eat more vegetables, especially citrus. Drink water instead of soft drink or fruit juice because it doesn't have any calories, and you can take diet tablet if you want to

you can but it will come back on rather quickly. if youre doing it for a certain event thats fine...just cut out the fats eating wise and portions. chew alot of gum to curb cravings... but if you want it to stay off you have to exercise and eat better.. its a lifestyle change

eating yopurself. that's the only thing that'll work for lazy ppl. if you want the best results that'll acutally last, you have to establish good habits. if your too lazy to move, then you don't deserve a good healthy body.
