Answer 1

I recommend trying sparkpeople.com! It's a totally free diet and exercise plan...and it works! I lost over 30 pounds using their website to track my intake and output (exercise). It's wonderful!

Here's some more tips that I've written up:

1. stop eating most grease, fat, salt, & sugar.
-this means NO fast food. fried foods. greasy food. fatty foods. sodium. sugary foods (including, but not limited to, candy & soda pop).

2. drink a lot. i mean A LOT. of WATER!
-at first this may cause you to put on some slight water weight, but in the long run it helps flush the fat out of your body. also, did you know that 90% of the times that you are hungry you are actually thirsty.

3. do NOT starve yourself.
-eat about 6 very small HEALTHY meals daily. that way your body won't go into starvation mode and it will easily process the food you eat and use it for energy instead of fat.

4. keep track of your calories eaten.
-you should probably aim to eat around 1,500 a day. do not go under 1,000.

5. eat HEALTHY.
-this means organic foods. vegetables. no white breads...eat lots of healthy 100% whole grains. fiber. etc. buy only healthy low fat/reduced fat & calorie foods....however just because they are healthier does not mean you can eat as much as you want of them. eat only 1 serving portion according to the nutrition label on the box.

6. exercise.
-(yes, i know it sucks...i hate it too). Did you know that researchers have now proven that DIET is more important than excercise when it comes to losing weight. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13821677/)... Exercise is only important to keep a fit and tone body...It definately helps maintain your health! what i would recommend is starting with something super simple...like going for a 10 minute walk everyday for a week. then the next week going for a 20 or 30 minute walk at least 5x a week. the only way i can accomplish this is to make myself go for a walk at the same time everyday. honestly exercise helps a lot. plus it helps you feel fuller longer. remember...just because you exercise does not mean you can cheat on your diet.

7. take a daily vitamin
-...I take WeightSmart. there are also some other healthy vitamin supplements that help you lose weight in the long run. one of them that is good is called CLA. you can buy it at wal-mart or basically any store that sells vitamins. i wouldn't particularly recommend diet pills. they're kind of a waste of money and not good for your body.

8. weigh yourself.
-at least once a week, if not everyday. (you should aim to lose about 2 pounds a week.) also, set a long term goal weight & date.(based on if you were to lose about 1-2 pounds a week.)

9. BE PATIENT!!
-i cannot emphasize that enough! losing weight takes a while & believe me we all want a miracle overnight cure, however it simply does not exist. but if you stick to these things and really follow them. you will lose weight AND keep it off. if you try to lose the weight too fast, you'll just gain it right back. trust me. also, you will have slip ups, don't let them get you down, just start over again the next day...eventually you'll get it right, i promise!!!

10. remember that you are on a diet & let everyone around you know too.
-so that way they can support you. remember that out of sight=out of mind. get that junk food out of the house.

Answer 2

Some foods and supplements may make shedding those pesky extra pounds a bit easier. For example, Garcinia cambogia is a fruit and a supplement that may help block body fat production and help you reach your target weight goal. More human studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety, however. A different species of the plant, Garcinia mangostana, has recently been studied for its potential anti cancer benefits. Consult with your doctor before using Garcinia supplements for weight loss or to treat a medical condition. Garcinia Cambogia boosts serotonin levels in the brain. For this reason, it is not advised for patients with neurological disorders such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, or other forms of dementia.

Answer 3

Try eating 6 small healthy meals throughout the day. This helps speed up your metabolism and lose body fat. That was a big help for me. Also you will need to start doing some light cardio and strength training at least 3 times a week to start. I suggest you read some of the fitness articles on losing weight at http://fitnessarticles.excellentabc.com . They were a big help to me.

Good Luck

Answer 4

I suggest that you try body cleansing. I tried it and really got lean quickly. I lost 15 pounds in 9 days and also 3 inches off my waist. I do body sculpting so getting leaner was my goal. My sister did this program too and she lost a lot of weight quickly. I did not know too much about cleansing but there are a lot of TV commercials about this stuff. This is a body cleanse and not just a colon cleanse, I wanted my body to get lean quickly and this did the trick!

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
