My wife lost over 60 pounds last year through eating the right things. She has an extremely bad back and is unable to exercise at all. All of the weight she lost was through proper dieting alone.
I had her feed me according to the same diet and I lost 30 pounds in about 16 weeks, but I also exercised.
Her diet consisted of low carbohydrates, low sugar, reasonable portions I ate half a bowl of wheat flake cereal and low fat milk for breakfast. Three hours later I ate an apple. Three hours after that I ate a sandwich (wheat bread, two slices of turkey lunch meat with miracle whip). Three hours later I ate a small cup of sugar free pudding. Dinner was skinless chicken breast, green beans and mashed potatos. I also drank one diet soda per day, the rest of the time I drank water. I never ate anything past 7pm.
You will feel hungry for the first few days, but it gets easier. This is where you really need the will power.
My wife did it through a diet center that she paid quite a bit of money to. Of course, she got supplements and stuff through them that I couldn't get.
Best of health to you!

Diets are okay and everything, but they can decrease your metabolism, causing your body to conserve fat. What you really need is some long, slow aerobic exercise. Go for at least 12-15 minutes or more per day of walking, jogging, running, cycling, or some other kind of exercise such as these, and don't stop doing this once you get rid of the weight you want to get rid of. Another thing to keep in mind is that weight really isn’t the problem; fat is the problem. Weight and fat are NOT the same thing. Muscle actually weighs almost 7 times as much as fat. So don’t pay too much attention to your weight; instead pay attention to how thin you look and how good you feel.

Drink a couple of oz.s of pineapple, grapefruit and/or papaya juice and as much water as possible, and eat nothing but veggies for three days. As much as you want and as often as possible. On the fourth day add a skinless boneless chicken breast (grilled, baked, microwaved).
If you can eat raw Serrano or jalapeno peppers or cayenne or red pepper flakes with your chicken - great.
Then add a little more protein a little bit at a time. Eat something small every hour if possible. 6 raw unblanched almonds, hour later a piece of fruit. hour later a carrot. hour later V8 juice. hour later small piece of beef or poultry or a cup of low sodium broth. hour later fat free yogurt. You get the picture.
Try to run for at least 40 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Eat whatever you want two days a week for maintenance but go back to the veggie, enzyme thing every once in a while for 3 days only. Steel cut oats, quinoa, Kefir, = good stuff.
Doesn't matter how old you are or what weight you are this is a healthy way to lose fat. You don't need to be lining someones pockets with prepared shakes that are full of sugar and chemicals.

You should try to lose it in a healthy manner so that the weight stays off. There is a "celebrity juice fast" that you could try, but you should contact your doctor first to be sure its okay (I don't know if you have any health issues). You can buy it at almost any drugstore. It is a 2 day fast that advertises a loss of 10 pounds in those 2 days. I don't know if it works; I've never tried it. Good luck and be safe.

Eat high fiber fruits and vegetables. They fill you up fast plus they have a lot of water in them that will go right through your system and keep colon clean. Melon is also good. You can eat as much melon as you like without putting on weight. You just will pee a lot and may have loose stools. So stay close a restroom. Another quick but good way is look for the Hollywood diet in the drug store. It is expensive but it is a 24 to 48 hour program for fasting. With this you still need to be close to a restroom, because it may have you running also.
Good luck and stay healthy.

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!

HIgh protein, low carb diets work the best for allowing you to eat as much as you want, as long as it is not carbs (no sugary fruits, breads, pastas). You can eat as much meat, cheese, and fats as you want. You can lose 12 pounds in a couple weeks. So basically don't eat anything white... sugar, flour, pasta, rice. If you have to have bread, get some of the low carb type (double fiber). It fills you up. Eat salads and meat or eggs mostly. This diet also gets rid of a lot of the urges to eat junk. Eat less than 20 - 30 grams of Carbohydrates a day..Drink lots of water and take multivitamin supplement every day! Good luck.!

If you add 20 minutes of walking into your day you're bound to loose weight. Just walk 10 minutes away from your house and then 10 minutes home everyday and you will probably loose more weight than with spending tons of money on somethikng that isn't gaureenteed to work.

Put in a search for questions, "lose weight fast." You will have at least 4,585 questions and answers and all the reading material you'll need for a lifetime on "losing weight fast."
If that's not enough reading for you, lots of people misspell "lose." So put in "loose weight fast" and you'll have more to read.

i suggest that you exercise at least 3 times a week ..
when you exercise do some aerobic exercise that makes you sweat alot..
eat alot fruit and veggies.. and drink lots of water..
And on the days you dont exercise try to be more active, that all will help you lose weight in a few weeks.
