I want to loose weight fast!!!?

Question

I am trying to lose about 20 pounds and want it done in about 7 weeks. People say don't eat carbs, eat lots of protein and work out, I know all that but does anyone have any diet secrets of there own than can help me achieve my goal ???

Answer 1

i was on the south beach diet. you don't eat carbs for 2 weeks. i did this. i weighed 155. and in 2 weeks i was down to 145. then it took me 1 month and a half to get down to 135 becuase you slowly add carbs back in. it works great!

Answer 2

You gotta trust me on this on.
DO NOT DIET.
MOST of America has no clue what dieting is.
Eat anything u want.
Just avoid fast food and sodas.
Dont listen to people who say dont eat carbs... its all bs
u need carbs for a healthy diet.

The key here is to exercise.
Walk a block
Next day run that block.
Then go for 2 blocks
Then 3..
Continue until you can do about 6 miles.
Do it 3 times a week.

You will see major results in around 2 weeks. You will also sleep a lot better.

Running is key. I would also say swimming but its winter and its cold.

Answer 3

there are no secrets to dieting and being healthy. most people make it more complicated than it has to be. the higher the quality of the foods that you consume the healthier you will be and the greater the positive effect feeding will have. remember that the foods that we ingest have a direct effect on the endocrine system and the endocrine system governs the human body. a 1,500 calorie diet of fish, lean meat, skinless poultry, low GI high fiber carbs and veggies is several magnitudes better than a 1,500 calorie diet of Lean Cuisine meals, diet sodas and other man made diet foods. the less chemicals that you point in your body the healthier you will be in the short and long term

Answer 4

Your goal might be achievable, but you're looking to dump a lot of weight in a short time, and it can possibly jeopardize your health. But your fantasy about a secret diet with which to do it is just that -- only a fantasy.

There are no magic potions or silver bullets for weight loss. The basic principles are really very simple:
• More calories burned than eaten = weight loss
• Fewer calories eaten than burned = weight loss
These principles are derived from laws of physics (thermodynamics). There is only one way to lose weight: OVER TIME, YOU MUST BURN MORE CALORIES THAN YOU EAT. This is an inescapable Law of Nature.

Most “diets” aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Much research shows that most people who “diet” to lose weight will sooner or later pile the weight right back on. Maintaining a healthy weight can’t be done by “dieting.” It requires a commitment to balancing a healthy diet with regular, strenuous exercise. You needn’t feel deprived. Eat whatever foods you want within the broad boundaries of a healthy diet – just don’t consume more calories than you burn – and get lots of the kinds of exercises that significantly raise your heart rate.

You'll probably get lots of responses to your question. Evaluate them in light of the simple but irrefutable scientific principles summarized above. You’ll read advice from many people who haven’t got a clue about the science underlying weight control, but who nevertheless profess to have sure-fire methods for weight loss. These people will advise you to drink gallons of water, eat only grapefruit, undergo hypnosis, shun carbohydrates or fats, drink pickle juice, take magical herbal medicines, buy peculiar exercise equipment, or try any number of other silly and exotic tricks. NONE OF THEIR METHODS EMPOWERS YOU TO VIOLATE THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS. Caveat emptor!

BURN MORE CALORIES EACH DAY THAN YOU TAKE ON BOARD WHEN YOU EAT. It is the only way to do it.

Again, your goal is a tough one, but it is achievable. Normally, weight loss of up to 2lbs/week is about as high as you want to go without starting to flirt with health risks. But keep in mind that slow and steady wins the race. The challenge of permanent weight loss is always won by the tortoise, never the hare. The prize is a lifetime of good physical and mental health.

Answer 5

Energy In/Energy Out

Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day

One Pound equals 3,500 Calories

To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat

1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn

You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.

Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.

Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.

I, myself, have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. And that is just my current progress. I have used this method previously after childbirth and have gone from 168 to 127 pounds with in two months.

I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply using a stationary bike while playing xbox. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.

Water Intake/Less Storage

Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Good Food

My favorite things to eat:

Avocado Wraps

Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.

Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.

First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.

Lean Cuisines

Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.

It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.

Fruits and Veggies

All you want on the schedule listed below.
Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.

____

Vitamins

My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake.
WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.

_____

Soda/Carbonation

Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need.
So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

Your Body

Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.

What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way.

Walking Buddy

This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.
