For quick weightloss your best bet is to BURN MORE CALORIES THAN YOU CONSUME!
You can do this by taking these steps:
1) EXERCISE! I know many people hate to hear this but, plain and simple, it's the best thing you can do to loose weight. Ask any doctor and they'll tell you the same thing. Good cardiovascualar excercise helps to increase your metabolism. And, if you do good cardio excercise early in the day you'll continue to burn extra calories throughout the day.
2) NEVER SKIP A MEAL! Especially Breakfast! This is one of the biggest mistakes the people make when trying to lose weight. When you skip a meal your body thinks that there is a shortage of food, so it slows your metabolism and increases the storage of fat. Try eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day (within your daily calorie limit). This will cause your bodies metabolism to run at a consistant higher rate, instead of the high and low spikes you get from eating only two or three times a day. Remember higher metabolism = more calories burned.
3) WATCH YOUR PORTIONS! Learn what the size of healthy portions are and learn what you daily calorie intake should be. A good rule of thumb for daily calorie intake follows:
No Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 10
Light Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 12
Moderate Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 14
Heavy Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 16
It's okay to eat a little less then your daily intake, but don't eat more it defeats the purpose.
4) WATCH YOUR FAT INTAKE! Make sure your daily percentage of fat calories is less then 20%. If you look at the nutrional info on a item it will say the number of calories per serving, right next to it it will have the calories from fat. Divide the fat calories from the regular calories, the amount should always be .20 or less. For example: a small fries at McDonalds has 250 calories and 120 fat calories. Using the equation the percentage of fat calories is .48 or 48%, which is more then twice what it should be.
5) DRINK LOTS OF WATER. It will cleanse your system and help you feel full.
6) BEWARE OF FAD DIETS! Especially ones that tell you to leave out a food group or skip meals entirely. They may help you lose weight quickly, but most likely you'll put it right back on and you'll feel even worse about yourself. Everyone I knew that tried Atkins wound up putting on more weight then they lost in the end.
7) Last but not least, KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE! Keep telling yourself that you are doing this for your own good. You are making yourself a healthy person. You will have more energy and feel better about yourself in the end!

1. A bad bout of the stomach flu :-)
2. lots of water and green veggies; small dinner and no snacking afterward. Going to bed a little hungry works well for me. I find that when you skip breakfast you do yourself in; all I can think about is food, all day! Then you binge and ruin any progress you might have made. But if I do it the other way around, don't eat at night, then I can just go to bed and ignore my cravings. Good luck.

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!
Get started today!

drink lots and lots and lots of water, when you think your going to drown, drink some more water. Watch what you eat, and you'll drop 10#s in 2 weeks. You won't lose anymore than that without adding lots of exercise and diet.

Losing five pounds in five weeks can be accomplished by following a safe, effective, and nutritious diet. A weight loss rate of 1 pound per week is perfect for experiencing lasting, healthy weight loss. Make sure you ask your doctor if this plan is the right one for you so it will be healthy and effective. Good luck!
Restrict calories moderately, starting with 200 fewer calories a day.
Gradually increase your calorie restriction until at the end of the 5 weeks you are eating 500 calories less per day than you used to.
Eat a balanced diet every day. Include 1 lean source of protein, 1 serving of complex carbohydrates, and 2-3 servings of vegetables and fruit at each meal. It is suggested that you get your daily percentage of calories in the following portions: 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates, 20% fat.
Eat 5-6 small meals per day, spaced about 2-3 hours apart. If you eat before you get hungry, you don't need to eat much. If you wait until you feel hungry, you will eat far more than you need to. Now, we know this is really inconvienent for anybody who actually goes to school or has a job so just make sure you eat small but adequate portions whenever you eat and have a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise by walking 30-45 minutes every day. Do not use ankle weights as this is the leading cause of orthopedic injury. Walk up hills or on inclines as your conditioning improves. You can jog for 20-30 minutes a day for those who have less time.
Resist food cravings by brushing your teeth when you feel hungry. Pamela Anderson uses this method. Food cravings are often strong in the late afternoon, and if brushing your teeth fails you should eat one of your meals during this time. Remember, when you get cravings, you are burning fat so sip some water or have a light, low cal snack (fruits and veggies are great)!
Tips
A gradual, moderate restriction of calories together with exercise is the only proven method to lose weight and keep it off.
Keep your rate of weight loss under 2 pounds per week; adjust your level of calorie restriction by the amount of weight loss you experience each week.
Restricting calories by more than 550 per day is unhealthy and a quick way to regain weight.
Don't become a slave to the scale; focus on feeling healthier as well as losing weight. It doesn't matter what the scale says but how you look and if you are happy with yourself.
As a general rule, a non-active person requires 12 calories per pound per day to maintain their current weight. So a 150 pound person who is not active would require 1800 calories per day to maintain their weight.
Protein that contains healthy fats such as Omega-3 are perfectly acceptable, even if they're not technically "lean."
There are two things the body requires that have no calories: water and fiber. The more of these you consume, the better for you and your weight loss goals. Many vegetables are full of both: this is why a 1 pound package of salad mix has only 100 calories or so.
Keep in mind that it takes a long time to lose weight and it is not easy. You will have to work at it and exercise at least 4 times a week (It isn't as bad as it sounds).
There are 3500 calories in one pound so you have to burn that many extra a week to lose one pound.
Never eat less than 1200 calories in a day because that would be unhealthy and the weight wouldn't stay off.
Good luck with your weight loss and remember to keep it off and remain active when you reach your target weight.
Sugar is addictive and causes cravings for more food and more sugar. This is why all fast foods, and most canned foods at our supermarkets are loaded up with sugar.
Read the food labels on all cans and jars. Sugar must be 5th on the list or lower.
Notice how so many so-called 'LOW FAT' foods are actually high in sugar, which only feeds the cravings for more food! (This is how food manufacturers constantly trick their public into thinking their garbage is 'good for you'. It isn't.
Cook your food several days in advance, and put measured amounts into the (2-cup or 250 ml) containers.
If your refigerator is big enough, you can store meals for most of a whole week.
If you get the afternoon snack attacks, save a portion of your meal to eat later. Or "budget" calories to include a daily afternoon snack.
Warnings
Be sure to consult with your physician regarding your weight loss program; your physician is there to help and may have additional suggestions for you.
Fast and extreme weight loss is unhealthy and will ultimately result in weight gain. (This is also called "yo-yo dieting")
Some physiologists caution against wrist and ankle weights because of possible damage to knees and elbows. They recommend wearing a light to moderately loaded backpack instead. The backpack should have wide straps that distributes the weight across your upper body evenly. But you don't have to.
