I am 17 years of age and I weigh 180lbs and I am 5' 10". I am trying to drop down to 150lbs relatively fast. I have tried many various weight loss things such as the energy drink "Redline", counting calories, and there was also some weight loss equation that I was told about that calculates your daily calorie intake to lose 1lb a week but forgot what it was.
Anyways, my main concern is that I dont know what little things I can do to help lose weight. Would drinking lots of water and eating only when Im hungy instead of grazing help? I know I might sound a little slow in the head do to my curiousity in this subject. But I was hoping that the community of Yahoo! Answers would help me out and recommend something to help me lose weight, or give me any input of any kind?
(ex. any pills, workout routines, food intake, or any personal things you did to lose weight.)
Thanks alot for taking the time to read this. It means alot to me.

Drinking lots of water and eating only when you're hungry would definitely help.
Apart from that:
- lots of exercise
- eating bran and other foods rich in fibre
- drinking herb teas (green tea, chamomile, mint)
- eating lots of fruit and vegetables
- cutting down on fats and sugars.

Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.get2itnow.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling.
Good luck!

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta 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:)
