Answer 1

Give up sugar. That will let you drop a pound per week.
Get active in the a.m. which boosts the metabolism for the day.
Drink a LOT of water. It makes you feel full. These suggestions are to help you lose weight w out suffering. They did work for me. 20 pounds in 6 mo, but maybe that's all you need. You might be pleasantly surprised. Good Luck

Answer 2

Don't drink soda (not even diet) and avoid other high calorie beverages like Powerade, Gatorade, energy drinks, etc.

Don't eat fast food.

Half of every meal should be vegetables.

ALWAYS eat breakfast. It's what starts your metabolism for the day.

Get 30 minutes of exercise every single day - ride your bike, take a walk, join a sports team.

At this rate, you should drop 2 pounds per week and be at your goal by February.

If you're really craving a treat, allow yourself to have some - not a full serving, but a few bites or a taste of it. If you deprive yourself, you'll be more likely to binge later.

If you do slip up and eat something bad for you, get back on track with the very next meal (not "I'll start again on Monday.)

Don't think of it as a diet - think of it as a new lifestyle, a permanent change.

Answer 3

That's too much weight to lose in 5 months. ( I'm assuming you're not like 300 going to 260.

Set a more reasonable goal. 5 or 6 lbs per month will put you at about 30 lbs down. You'll feel great. Get to 40 by summer.

Answer 4

you don't have to pay extra for most diet food.
(for example, you could buy fat free pudding rather than regular fat pudding and save yourself 60 calories. same taste, same price, but nicer to you body)

HERE ARE SOME CALORIE-FRIENDLY FOODS:
-100 calorie yogurt
(i like fat free yoplait thick and creamy- you would never guess its fat free)
-flavored rice cakes or popcorn
-carrot sticks with fat free ranch.
(you can get full off of 100 calories.)
-pretty much any fruit
-Nabisco 100 calorie packs
-diet hot chocolate (25 calories)
-Crystal light (10 calories per 2 servings)
-sugar-free jello (10 calories per cup)
-etc.....


HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT HAVE SERVED ME WELL:

eat slowly/chew more than normal
(you will enjoy the food and you will *poop* it out of your system faster- which is good!)

put your fork or spoon down (that means on the table!) in between bites

use a smaller than usual utensil or even a straw for drinks and yogurt

drink water throughout the day. no excuses.

don't sit in front of the TV
(studies say people who eat while watching TV will eat more than people somewhere free of stress)

count your calories. its not as horrible as it seems!

put lots of effort into preparing it
(don't just open a wrapper and dig in)
** if i am eating at home and not on-the-run, i will take my yogurt (for example) and spoon it into a glass dish and make it look pretty. for some reason, i enjoy it more

don't feel obligated to fill your plate or swipe it clean at a restaurant. you won't be wasting food because you could always carry it out. you'll actually save money because the leftovers could make a good lunch the next day

don't eat past 8:00 (if you go to bed at ten)

watch portion sizes

cut your food. no need to take ginourmous bites. it doesn't look right and this rule goes back to the "prepare" rule. cut it up nicely so the presentation is nice.

hi Erin.. i could suggestion everyone to no longer even think of of attempting to lose over 30% of bodyweight in something like 2 months! at the beginning which would be a extensive marvel on your equipment and might make you very ill in an prolonged time.

Swimming consistent with possibility much extra valuable. exceedingly in chilly water (your physique burns a lot of potential in simple terms protecting heat) extra importantly you are able to in simple terms seem alluring in the journey that your healthful. sturdy good fortune :)

Answer 6

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 400-600cal 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 (have lots of veggies to eat in between meals if you are still hungry)
8 glasses of water -carry bottle of water with you and when you feel hungry drink it - we often confuse hunger with thirst (our bodies confuse it)
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for average of 45min, light weight training a few times a week (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, ice cream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
of course you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 7

diet pills are tricky. hoodia is becoming so common that there are so many fakes out there now.

despite this, there are many credible solutions, but what you should look for in a diet solution to get the most of your money is

- is the diet solution medically backed?
- does it come with a nutrition guide

because pills that try to push their products are fake, a diet pill should only be accompanied with eating right and exercising!!!!

to learn more about credible diet pills check out http://www.britneynelson.com/weight-loss-pills-reviewed.html

But the most important thing ever is CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE!!! dieting doesn't help. you should look for something that is longterm.

changing your lifestyle and being able to maintain is the best indicator for success.

best of luck

Answer 8

water and exercize. Don't starve because your body will revert into storing mode. There's this drink by Fleet you mix with water (its for surgery to clean you out!) It works (boy does it work!) but you'll have to watch what you eat after that and exercise. Walk a few miles a day, 2 times a day. I lost 35lbs doing that, but I also didn't eat meat, only salads; drank water, i hate water; and hit the gym as well as walk several times a day. AND it didn't take that long either, I saw results in a month.
