Answer 1

Turn the fat into muscle!
Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.

*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Instead, eat a raw a vegetable or fruit every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you need to do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you
rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice
as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks(unless it is freshly squeezed juice) and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the
Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be
healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com and order their weight loss
formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for two weeks. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want
tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
It might also be a good idea to avoid the scales for a while once you begin this program. Avoid them for a couple of weeks. Don't focus on the number, but on how you feel. Then after you're feeling better and motivated, check your weight and you'll be surprised!
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!

Answer 2

Begin focusing on a healthy, low calorie but nutritionally balanced diet. Increase your exercises to burn more calories.
Eat 3 small meals and 3 small snacks throughout the day to keep your metabolism functioning. The exercises will also boost metabolism. Trying to lose weight too quickly only forces the metabolism to go into starvation mode and slow down the burning of calories.
Focus on eating fruits, vegetables and lean meats. Avoid white breads, cereals, pasta and sugar. You do need some carbs but get those in the form of WHOLE grain breads and cereals that will add fiber to your diet.
Drink plenty of water. It will help flush your system as well as keep you hydrated.
Sodas are not healthy and do not substitute for water. Herbal teas may be used if you do not like plain water. You can also squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon into a glass of water. Most fruit juices are rather concentrated forms of calories. It is better to eat the actual fruit.
Have an apple and an orange with a slice of whole grain toast for breakfast.
Have a banana and tuna or chicken salad for lunch.
Have a large dark green leafy salad with carrots and tomatoes for supper along with a lean meat entree.
Use carrot and celery sticks for snacks. Almonds are also good snacks that provide the sensation of chewing as well as providing nutrition. Grapefruit and low fat cottage cheese may be used at meal times and as snacks as well as hard boiled eggs.

Answer 3

be realistic, you are not gona lose that much (its not like you gained all those pounds in 2 months). even if you do - its gona be just water weight and muscle which you would gain back as soon as start eating normal again and it will leave your skin sagging also.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 4

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!
