Answer 1

Do a search for lose weight here on Answers and you'll see the question gets asked many times a day. Lots of good information posted too.

Bottom line, eat a healthy well-balanced diet, and exercise 5 days a week (1 hr a day).

Good luck!

I tried all sorts to shift my baby weight, I have tried several of the leading diet brands and the one I had the best results with was with Shapeworks/Herbalife. I have used Slimfast, Jenny Craig, Hoodia and a few more but they were either not great in terms of results or cost too much anyway and didn’t do my health any favors. With the shapeworks you get a personal coach who guides you through all your weight loss and ensures you stay on track and improve your health at the same time. The system is nutrition based and very easy to follow and the products taste good too. I used the advanced program and not only did I lose lots of weight and inches but my energy levels were great, I was never hungry or tired and there is no counting calories or points. The coach does all the work for you, all you have to do is take the products every day and the weight just comes off. I needed to lose 42 pounds and I lost all my weight in less than five months, I also lost over nine inches off my waist and lots of inches from my thighs and arms. I used the help of the guy at www.myhealthabc.com, he is excellent with his advice and coaching. There is no sales pitch or anything like that, which makes it even better. He just listens to what you want to do, asks you some questions and its as easy as that. I got free samples to try before buying anything, I just paid a small shipping and handling fee (think it was about ten dollars) and the samples were so good I just knew this was for me. The whole experience was terrific, the support and encouragement you receive is the best, plus the advice on all aspects of your weight loss and general health. My family were pretty unhelpful when it came to me losing weight so I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to lose weight safely, quickly with no side effects and receive encouragement along the way. I have also been shown how to maintain my new weight, which again is so easy and love the way I look and feel now. This worked well for me and I am sure it can for anyone, my sister has just started with a different program and has lost seven pounds in her first three weeks. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

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:)
