does anyone know the quickest way to lose weight?? i don't care if it's not long term?

Answer 1

Okay, I'll answer your question first:

1)Stop eating and excercise intensely. (time consumed: about a week, maybe)

2) Dehydrate yourself. Do not drink any water, and you can lose up to 10 pounds (time consumed: a day or two)

3) Get lipo-suction (time consumed: idk, i guess a few hours)

4) Cut off a limb. (time consumed: instantaneous)


So now that I've answered your question (which include pretty much every typical way to "lose weight fast"), I'll describe what the catch is with each respective method:

1) This is what some might consider "diet and excercise", but it really isn't. A diet consisting of little or no eating and excercising will cause you to lose weight in fat, but you'll also lose muscle weight, as well as other important structural nutrients that make up your body. This is because the excercise would make your body weaker (which is what it is suppsed to do, and then you're supposed to become stronger when you rest to recover), but without food, your body would have nothing to use for building up the destroyed tissue, so it would stay destroyed (your muscle and other important tissue, i mean). You would eventually just get weaker and weaker with every workout. And simply not eating while not excercising would not help you lose 10 pounds in a week either. Though you would lose weight, this weight would not just be fat; it would also be muscle.

2) The weight will only be in water, so you won't really look much better. Maybe a little thinner, but from lost water, and that water is EXTREMELY crucial to life. The body can go a few weeks without food, but only a few days without water. You would die a horrible, painful, dry death (after a while if you didn't drink water eventually, that is).

3) This is just a lazy method that I personally despise unless it is absolutely necessary to save a person's life, and even then the deplorable fact that the person let themselves get to such a state remains. The down side to doing this is, among other things, that you will have a lot of jiggly, loose skin. Trust me, you do NOT want this. It looks and feels disgusting. Also, lipo-suction will end up costing you money and is really not for only a 10-pound weight loss. It should only be used as a last resort for, say, a 200-300 pound overweight person, or something of the like.

4) I can't find anything wrong with this option. By all means, go for it! Cut off TWO limbs, while you're at it! (yeah.. it's pretty obvious about this one)

So basically, you see what's wrong with all of these options. Now to give you some advice for that weight:
You can lose it if you just go through the right steps. It's only ten pounds, and you don't need to worry about it. Do the following, if you want to lose the weight (the weight loss will be gradual, but steady, if you keep it up. Do not expect more than 1 or 2 pounds per week though):

Run a lot: more specifically, find the time to run at least 20-30 minutes a day. find someone to run with to make it less boring. this has to be non-stop running/jogging though

Lift weights: I know that you might be concerned that you could get too muscular; a lot girls think this. But don't worry, you won't become "The Terminator" by weight lifting regularly. I mean, look at all those guys who work out tirelessly in the gym in hopes of becoming like that! They don't accomplish their goal usually unless they put many years of intense workouts into it, so there is no way you'll look man-buff just by lifting regularly, but you will become stronger, which means you'll gain muscle, and every pound of muscle burns an extra 100 calories per day. plus, it is possible for the body to gain up to 2-3 lbs of muscle per week! So weight lifting will really help you (and again, no you will not become manly-looking or anything, even if you tried for years *unless you take steroids or something*)

Cut down on the junk food: I'm not saying to never eat it ever again, but you really shouldn't be eating anymore than a handful of this stuff a day, preferable none at all. Since you don't want to go through your whole life without eating it (the thought is overwhelming), just try your best to cut down on this stuff. A good alternative is most breakfast cereals. (well, that's what I eat a lot of... a LOT of)

Keep it up: Try to do the above things, but at the point that you think you can keep up even after you lose the 10 pounds. It's pretty pointless to lose 10 pounds just to get overconfident and just gain 20 new pounds just to have to lose it again

Finally, just try your best. I know it can be hard to feel fat, but I understand what it's all like. I've been overweight-obese-overweight most of my life. In fact, just two years ago I was more than 20 pounds overweight. Now I'm 10 pounds under being overweight (which i think is a pretty confortable spot), but it took a lot of hard work. No, it didn't take me two years to lose the weight (it did to gain the muscle i have though), but it took a while (around 3 months). Just keep at it. And 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.

Answer 3

My method for losing weight is this.
1. Dont eat lunch monday-friday. Only eat a small breakfast and a big dinner.
2. Excercise at least 30 minutes everyday, have a 1 day break.
3. Drink more water than usual.
4. Stick to eating only Breakfast and Dinner. No matter how hungry you are, do not eat anything big between breakfast and dinner.

Do this for as long as you want until you lose your desired weight. Your metabolism might become slower however.

Answer 4

Eat healthy and exercise. Both long term and short term the best way to lose weight.

Answer 5

drink lots of water. reduce your fat intake. increase your protein intake. exercise (low intensity) for about an hour a day.

3500 Calories in a pound of fat.

Take your weight...say 200 ....add a zero to the end -- 2000

2000= steady state(calories your would normally burn during a regular non active day)

say you burn 600 calories working out and you eat 1400 during the day.

That means you used 1000 calories that day. After 2 1/2 days you lost a REAL pound..... 2-3 pounds a week is LEGIT and the safest way for the pounds to stay off.

...learn to be moderate ith your food consumption.

"SATISFY THE TASTE, NOT THE HUNGER"

FYI, I did all of the above and lost 45 pounds. It has not come back!

Answer 6

In my experience running is the quickest way to lose weight. I suppose any vigorous aerobic exercise should do it.

Answer 7

If we're talking ten pounds, you can loose it in a matter of days by eating very little, and drinking water in place of meals. Walk/run more than usual. (I do not support this, it is very unhealthy, yet it works)

If we're talking 50 pounds, it would take months of total dedication to the gym and good eating habits.

Either way, you MUST burn more calories than you take in. If you burn twice what you eat, you will drop rather quickly.

Answer 8

if you know your present calorie intake, say 3000 calories a day, just reduce your calorie intake by 20% (say 600 on a 3000 calorie). this way you will not feel as much hungry or weak compared to not eating or fasting alone. and if you could increase your physical activies, that would increase your current metabollic rate to burn more calories. that's simple, easy, and not harmful to your health in anyway

Answer 9

slather on lip balm 765 times

Answer 10

add fasted cardio before breakfast
