I'm a 21 year old male, I'm 5'11" and weigh around 13 and a half stone (188 pounds). I want to lose some weight quickly. A few months back I lost over a stone and a half in about three months just from eating a more sensible diet, with hardly any extra exercise. Unfortunately this weight has now crept back on again! I'd like to lose between a stone and a half and two stones more quickly now. Does anyone have any tips about how much daily exercise I should do - and what types also - in order to lose weight healthily and quickly? Thanks.

Losing weight is all about counting calories, as you found out the last time. I've found that a brisk walk for about a half hour will burn about 200 calories... not much. But it's enough, when combined with a healthy diet, to lose weight at about a pound a week. If you want to lose it quicker, double the length of time to about an hour, or simply run instead of walking. Swimming is an excellent calorie burner as is a brisk bicycle ride as well.

In order to begin losing weight, you should excersise at least 30 mins each time you are working out because it takes a while for your fat to respond. If you are trying to lose quickly, there is no real way to quickly shed pounds. However, you can start a sensible regime of either 1 or 2 30 mins work-out sessions for at least 4 days a weeks. You can run in the mornings and lift weights at night or whatever your style may be. Just remember, even though you are trying to lose weight, you are going to have to eat more if you are exercising more because your body is going to need more energy. Focus on your carbs, fruits, vegetables, and of course protein.

Cut your portions in half and exercise until you drop.
That should do it.
