Answer 2

The really good news is that it's the beginning of the month- so it's quite possible to lose that weight safely in the time you propose.

I don't know what kind of lifestyle you have, so take anything I propose with that in mind.

Cut out fast and fried foods: Fast food tends to be given in portions way larger than you need, and more often than not that and fried foods are laden with fat and calories.

Don't bring junk food into the house: That way you won't be tempted to eat it.

Do add more fresh veggies and fruits, and whole grain breads to your diet. Those are actually pretty tasty, once you lose the craving for fat.

If you can, invest in a double-boiler/steamer/cooker. Those can be found at a lot of department stores, and can cook your food without destroying the nutrition content.

Drink lots of water: You need to stay hydrated. And while soda is good as a once-in-a-while thing, it can be hard on your kidneys.

For exercise: Walk. It can be done anywhere. If you go shopping, park far away from the store doors rather than jockey for the parking spot that's closest. Not to mention it will be less stressful! And there are a number of really great exercise programs out there that you can try.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 4

The south beach diet worked great for my ex-boyfriend and I. He lost 11 lbs the 1st week and I lost 7 lbs the first week. The south beach diet consists of 3 stages. The tricky part here is that you cannot cheat and you must follow the diet precisely because if not you will get it all back. It is done so that you do not eat any carbs or sugars for the first 2 weeks, and then in phase 2, your slowly reintegrate healthy carbs and healthy sugars. But if you chat, or binge, your body will use any of that to get whatever fat it is craving and you will gain in right back. But it has been very effective for me, if i want to loose a pant size in a week, I lost my post-pregnancy weight this way as well. A couple of guy friends of mine have also done it and it worked for them too, but be careful, you must follow the diet instructions to the T. You can find info on it online, not too specific online, but enough to do the duet. if you want to get specific recipes and stuff, you will have to buy the book. However, I never got the book. So, good luck!!

Answer 5

15 lbs is alot to lose in less than a month's time. I do suggest that you exercise at least 5 times per week, and reduce your calorie intake. Stay away from fried foods, sugars and breads. Eat plenty of vegetables and drink LOTS of water.

On average you can safely lose 1.5-2 lbs per week.

Answer 6

The GM diet can be used for drastic weight loss. The good thing about this diet is that it cleanses your system, leads to drastic weight loss in 1 week's time, and is do-able. Just google 'GM diet' to know how to do it. Try speed walking for 40 minutes a day and you should have reached your goal. Good luck. Do let us know how your dieting and exercising went.

Answer 7

nothing short of a liquid diet would get you 15 pounds less by the end of may! Try to aim for half of that for a regular diet consisting of solid foods! Grab the "no fad" diet book from your local library! It is a wealth of healthy eating for foever instead of this month only! Enjoy your weight loss results!!!!!!!

Answer 8

you cannot lose 15lbs in a month, but you can lose the max of 8 lbs without gaining it back quick
eat 1500-1800 calories a day and exercise a lot

Answer 9

Eat only vegetables for a whole month & run a minimum of 2 miles per day & maybe u will loose 12

Answer 10

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. Eat a vegetablw or frui 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 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 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 a week. 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.
*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!
