Weight Loss Tips....Need Help!!!!!? -

I have a function that i have to go to in like 3 weeks. I need to lose a considerable amount of weight in that time. ( approx. 20-30 pounds). Does anyone have any tips??? I need some ASAP!!! Thanks!!P.S. Please dont leave comments that are not going to help my goal!

There is no way to healthily lose 30, or even 20, pounds in three weeks. A loss of 15 pounds is, however, very achievable, so my first recommendation is that you change your goal to one that you can accomplish. Otherwise you ll just be really frustrated within two weeks.First: Quit drinking calories. No alcohol, soda, or juice. Water hydrates best and has no sugar. (This doesn t mean you have to stop eating milk with your cereal.)Try to avoid processed, canned and frozen foods - even if they are more convenient. Cook fresh veggies, substitute rice for pasta, and eat more fish and chicken as opposed to beef and pork. Foods like avocado and fish are excellent because they provide the fats we need minus the sugar and calories.In order for an average person to lose 5 pounds per week, they must cut 3500 calories (500 calories per day) in addition to cardiovascular exercise. Most people can cut 500 calories daily simply by eliminating unnecessary snacks throughout the day. Eat four small meals rather than two large, because you re much more likely to snack when there s lots of time between meals. Depending on your fitness level and motivation, you should consider picking up either running, bicycling, swimming or hiking to complement your diet. Also, if you do increase your exercise, remember that it s natural for your body to need more food - just don t give it a greasy hamburger as reward for a 5 mile jog.

Sorry, it is physically impossible to lose that amount of weight by dieting and exercise in 3 weeks. A realistic goal is 1-2 lbs per week. The only way you could lose that amount would be to have surgery, and the amount you want to lose exceeds the amount that should be removed in a liposuction session, and any other surgery would take more time to recover than fits into your schedule. I know this isn t what you want to hear, but you re just not going to get there in 3 weeks.

Eat less-- but with healthy foods, not junk food; count calories (approximate for those not labeled.. but also look at nutritional facts because some foods only have higher calories because they have more carbs) and get lots of exercise; definetly get enough sleep though, because when people are sleep deprived, their bodies usually do not work as effieciently, causing weight loss very difficult.That is how I lost about 20-30pounds for a certain event or by a certain deadline, however, I d suggest not doing that too often because it is unhealthy (just once in awhile, like for this function, should be ok). Othewise, a healthy rate to lose weight would be about 2 pounds a week.

Add some natural herbs to your diet. There are some which can increase weight loss by up to 10%. And then take care of things that are stopping you from losing weight.There are numerous factors which affect weight loss and weight gain other than what you eat and exercise.There are herbs which can help you burn fat faster. Herbs which you probably have in your kitchen right now. Things like ginger and fennel.Also you burn less fat if you don t sleep properly or you are under stress.Here are some shocking facts:1. Inadequate sleep can increase your chances of becoming obese by as much as 10% 2. People who had inadequate sleep generally gained an 33 pounds over the period of the study than those who slept well. 3. Stress has been linked to increase appetite, increased carbohydrate cravings and also an increase in abdominal fat. 4. Prolonged stress also slows the metabolism rate 5. It is possible to increase metabolic rate using herbs which means you will burn fat faster. 6. Blood sugar level imbalances can cause cravings for carbohydrates, increase fat storage and decrease energy levels. A killer trio if you are trying to lose weight. 7. This is not really a shocking fact �C we all know that obesity and depression are linked. What is shocking, is that scientists in a recent study published that a person who is depressed has a 40% chance of becoming obese!

Low carb diet. Only eat green veggies for carbs. If you go to the library, look at the South Beach Diet book. It has a list of foods you can eat during phase 1. Eat only those. You can drop 15-20 lbs in the first two weeks if you stay strict to that diet.Whether you follow it afterwards would be up to you. I would encourage you to look at the whole thing. You ll look and feel better by the end of three weeks.I ll say it is hard though. I have only made it 11 days on the strict phase 1. Then I only incorporate a little of the phase 2 things to eat, so it s almost a 1.5 phase.

well first you need to be healthy.cut down ALOT on bad foods, carbs, and fat.Eat 2 to 3 servings of fruits and vegetables.Also, go on runs, do 100 cruches,or get a home dvd workout .I reccomend tae bo.These all will help.But those wight loss pills will help you lose weight butis gonna mess up your life FOREVER.
