I need to lose ALOT of weight. At least 100lbs? -

I am very over weight. I have been to see my doctor but because my isurance is not the best I am not getting much help or advice.I was recently trying the Metobolic weight loss program but that is not REAL. In order to maintain I would have to take pills and protein drinks FOREVER.I want something that will allow me to eat real foods (at least sometimes)I work at a call center so I am sitting ALL DAY....Here is what I like. I like soups of any kinds. Pasta (wheat is ok) I am ok with chicken breat if you cal give me tips on how to keep it from drying out when I reheat it.... Any most any other type of meat. Most veggies as well. I love sandwhiches...I am about to start walking after work and during lunch.Can someone PLEASE give me some low cal. diet plan ideas? I am willing to try ANYTHING.

im on a mini diabedes diet, its anything with vegis, nothing with sugar at all or wheat, low sodium foods, sodium retains water in your body, and no wheat beacause wheat then becomes sugar to your bodyjust drink water nothing more. you can eat beef, chicken, shrimp, tuna, just go low on tha carbs, and when you cook the meat use pam cooking spray its healthier, you can loose up to 40 pounds if you stick to it woth in 3 months tops, oh and friuts only eat grapes or kiwi its the healthyiest fruit on diets possible, good luck

Try Weight Watchers. It is very real world friendly, no food is banned and they do not require you to eat any special food. It stresses portion control, making healthy choices and exercise. You can still have fast food or pizza occasionally as long as you stay within your points...just don t overdue it. The article below explains how to do it and has some links to reference sites.

no diets.they never bring lasting results.you know whats good for you. you have to work out your own diet what works for u.and join a gym.i like to juice for my breakfast.get a juicer they are great.

Get active. You can buy this little pedal thing you can keep it under your desk at work and pedal while you work.Walk. Bike. Rollerblade. anything. Join a gym. Eat healthy food and watch portion size. Drink lots of water.

Brandi - I feel for you. Go to this calculator and select basic metabolic rate for your activity level (http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie�� to see how many calories your body needs in a day. Simply do not go over that limit. This is how I first started losing weight. It was hard because I used to work as a social worker, so I would go by a nearby fast-food place for lunch (Taco Bell, McDonalds, you name it) and I would try to order smaller items that I thought had less calories, but when I went to the website and checked how many calories a chicken quesadilla with a side of nachos had, I was going waaayyy over my limit. I would suggest making something the night/weekend before and taking it in your lunch. It might be difficult at first, especially if all your co-workers are eating out too (I know mine did, they would come in with fast food bags every lunch and it was hard to resist, especially when I first stopped the fast food). Feel free to snack on healthy and natural foods (trail mix, granola bar, etc). Do whatever works for you, just don t go over that limit.Another really helpful thing I did was stop drinking soda. Girl, this was so hard to do because I drank soda everyday. I had to start out really slow with it. First, I started out by ordering a water with my soda. Then I told myself that I would have to drink from that water first before I drank any soda. Gradually I got to the point where I drank the whole water before the soda, and then finally one day I drank all water and no soda and I knew I was reaching my goal. After that it was really difficult to maintain, because I swear I went into withdrawal (people don t believe that you can have a caffeine/sugar/soda addiction, but I am living proof that it does happen!) where I seriously had mild headaches and felt under the weather for 4-7 days. It was miserable, but I got past it and haven t looked back. I ve been soda free for seven months now and I feel so much healthier, not to mention people tell me that I ve lost a lot of weight and look great (I m 5 5 and 121lbs) I also try to do 30-45minutes of exercise everyday, but I would think in the beginning the eating changes make the most dramatic difference.It might sound counterintuitive, but eating more meals in a day has worked a lot better for me than eating three meals. By splitting the meals up, I feel more full and plus I am happy to add more variety to my diet. Here is a good example of how someone eats healthy (meal by meal): http://www.bodyrock.tv/2008/12/15/my-typ��So, to summarize:1) calculate how many calories your body needs and don t go over, no matter what. Don t try to starve yourself and go dramatically under either, but if you are under that s fine. Just don t go over.2) Be aware of how many calories you are putting into your body. Try to pack foods from home to save/cut back on calories.3) Drink water with or instead of your favorite caloric drink (soda, coffee, etc.)4) Stretch your meals out through the day.Hope this helps!

You need to have a balanced day with your foods.1.for breakfast you should have protein and whole grains like eggs ,cheese...oatmeal is fine too2-lots of fruits and vegetables-plus tons and tons of water 3-no snacks-ex-sugary sweets ....etc4-dinner u should eat regular but no bread 5-lots of excersise 6-you need a scale in your house so every DAY you weigh yourself and know what you did wrong if you gained weight7-COUNTT YOUR CALORIES8-find out your metabolism rate watever it is you should subtract 500 because of your need to lose weight

What promotes healthy weight loss? -

besides diet, exercise, and pills? are there specific foods? or approaches?

Keep your outlook on life positive and your stress levels down.Mainly I would say this: don t get discouraged. Long-term weight loss requires more than just a regimen of specific foods and exercises; it s about changing your lifestyle and taking the steps necessary to keep those changes in place. I find that keeping myself motivated is difficult; therefore I try to set up external circumstances that will keep me motivated when I m not feeling particularly so.Also, don t expect to lose it all fast; it may take months, years to get to a good, consistent weight. Act the way ants do. They don t get discouraged by how long it will take to build their hill; they just move one grain of dirt at a time until it s done.A few other things: drive less. Get outside more, even if you re not exercising. Get enough water. Get enough sleep!

A very simple yet effective diet plan is the cabbage soup diet. This is based on consuming cabbage soup whenever hunger strikes. However, during this diet, one needs to refrain from any of the oily junk food stuffs. Another diet plan which is used more so like an adjunct to other diet regimes is negative calorie diet. This works on the principle of consuming food, which has calorific values less than the energy spent in digesting them. Thus, there will always be a negative balance for the body thereby resulting in gradual depletion of the stored fat. Lastly, the Sonoma diet also aims at making the life of those who want to lose weight, a little easier. This diet comprises of vegetables, which have high concentrations of anti oxidants, blueberries, spinach, almond oil and whole grains. For those who find even this combination unpalatable, try adding red wine to the list but make sure you don��t exceed a glass.http://www.weightloz.com/category/Best-Diets-to-Lose-Weight.html

Sure! What a great question...the healthiest way to lose weight is to follow the USDA Food Pyramid Guidelines. This will explain what foods you should be eating each day and in what amounts. In a nutshell, concentrate on lean protein (chicken, fish, pork), vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products (skim milk, yogurt), whole grains (whole-grain bread, oatmeal, brown rice), and heart-healthy fats (olive and canola oil, nuts, avocado). To lose weight, eat three small meals a day and two small snacks, made up of the foods I mentioned before. Add some sort of daily activity and plenty of water. There you go...a healthy approach to weight loss!!

Spinach- loaded with iron, beta carotene vit C E speeds metabolism Hot peppers- speed up your metabolism by as much as 25% also grapefruit and vinager are supposed to help. Drink alot of skim milk, ceareal is also a good diet food. Alot of people think chicken is good but turkey has less fat. Stay away from salt!

dark color vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, carrot, blue berry, water,eat more often, small meals, balanced foodprotein, carbohydrates, good fat,(avocado, canola oil, )

green tea speeds up your metabolism...and i strongly recommend weight watchers...its so great i wouldnt even call it a diet even though it helps you slim down like one!! :)

salada ,water, vitamin water ,

walking 45 minutes everyday or other day plenty of water isometric exercises think inches not pounds

Looking to fit into my lbd? -

i d like to lose a couple pounds with a quick fix diet for new years eve, (giving me little under a week) as i have a great lbd. I m pretty well versed in healthy weight loss and know that something like this is temporary but all the same wouldn t mind looking a little more trim for the big night out. any suggestions? (please no lemon diet or eat only grape fruit , i m looking for sensible stuff)

You re clearly not versed in healthy weight loss if you are looking to lose a couple of pounds in four days. Will 1-2 lbs make that much of a difference? Peoples weight usually fluctuates about that much during the course of a day.Just a thought.

Any weight loss products that dont cost money and no shipping or handaling? -

i ve tried alot of websites that can help you lose weight. i dont have a credit card and i dont want to pay. does anyone know and products that DO NOT cost ANY money? or anything that can help me lose about 40 - 45 lbs. and get rid of my pot belly?

The first three answers are advertisements. How annoying!Anyway, for FREE weight loss look no further than your sink and a sidewalk. The best way to lose weight is to drink 8-10 glasses of water every single day, and to get moving! Exercise, exercise, exercise. Free exercise ideas are easy, go for a nature walk, play with a little sibling or a pet, or crank up the iTunes and have a solo (or with friends) dance party! Dancing is GREAT cardio, and none of it costs a thing!
