How to lose weight fast? -

I am a young female weighing about 130 pounds. I want to lose 20 pounds in 2 months for a big event. I really dont care if the weight comes back later on or whether it is unhealthy.

It s not recommended to lost more than 2% of your total body weight per week, but if you must then (in order of importance):Assuming your body fat is greater than 15%...First, determine your daily basal metabolic rate (BMR) (there are website that will give you a rough estimate of this. Just search Calculate Daily Basal Metabolic Rate. This is the amount of calories you burn on a daily basis just doing nothing. -watch your diet: 50% protein, 40% carbs, and not more than 10% fat. Reduce the intake of your daily BMR by 20%. For example, if your BMR is 2000 calories per day. Try to only eat ~1600 calories a day. Now automatically you re burning 400 calories extra per day. This will work for a couple of weeks, until your body gets used to this change.-Space your calories out over 5-6 meals per day, if you can. Eat smaller, more frequent portions, but maintain your caloric intake.-cardio, cardio, cardio. To lose 1 lbs of fat, you need to burn 3500 calories. An hour a day on the elliptical machine, 4-5 days a week should allow you to drop a pound per week...preferably in the mornings on an empty stomach.-Resistance training. Lift weights using machines or free weights. Try to build lean muscle rather than bulky muscle by doing many repititions. This will ensure you re burning fat and calories even when you re not doing anything. It ll also increase your metabolism (hence, your BMR) and prevent you from putting the weight back on later. Do 30-45 mins per day, 4-5 days per week. -Drink lots of water; 100-128 ounces per day. There are websites which can tell what your daily water intake should be.-Sleep at least 7-8 hours a night.- when if gets closer to your event date (2-3 weeks prior), lose your water weight by doing cardio and reducing water intake.If you use these tips as a guide, you ll easily lose 16 lbs. over the next two months.Good Luck.

Hi Try this simple plan,it really works so here goes,If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckxGood luck

Focus on your goal and join a cardio-work-out class. Visit the gym daily for an hour, concentrate on dropping foods loaded w/ fat or sugar. Hope this helps.

eat right, work out, eat small purposhions of meals, join a club maybe that will help you (weight watchers) just somethings that could help.

If you really want to lose, but don t want to get too crazy, and you know you won t do a cardio workout just, try the South Beach Diet. It seems to work fast enough for a 2 month effort without getting too extreme, you still have alot of variety, and you will feel energized. Add a 15min dance session to your favorite fast music every other day and you can enjoy yourself while excersizing. PLEASE DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF OR USE CRAZY DIET PILLS,Good luck.

I can t really give good diet tips, as I am not a nutritionist. They ve pretty much said it all anyway: limit your junk food, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water.I would always suggest that you add exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. You don t have to go to the gym, just take walks, skip the elevator and take the stairs, maybe watch tv while standing up (joke).If you do go to the gym, avoid using weight as your achievement guide. Muscle is heavier than fat. Use a tape measure to measure achievement instead, as your waist will shrink even if your weight remained the same.

Diets don t work. Even if they do, when you finish it, you put all the weight on again. If you want to eat the same diest food for the rest of your life, stay on it. My only tip is DO eat a healthy brekky (No coffees if you can help it). It is called the most important meal of the day for a reason. Accept and love the body you re in.

I suggest you to change your mindset first. Don t push yourself too much to get slimmed. Slim or loosing weight is a bonus. Just try to make your life be healthy. I give a link on the bottom that offer weight loss without dieting. You can try first before ordering. If you are interested you can put some money.

The best diet is the Diabetic diet. Think about it, a Diabetics meal has to be well portioned and many doctors would probably suggest this too. Too much of any one thing is bad for you. And you should eat 6 meals in a day, 3 large meals and 3 small meals between them. A dietitian could help you with this.

How to lose weight and not starve myself..and im not the health freak..help? -

I really want to lose some weight..I go to gym 4 times a week for an 1 hour// cardio and weights but my tights are just chubby.How can I slim down my legs .im 5 7 145...help me

I love the Special K Vanilla Almond, and I have lost 20pds just replacing two meals. Any cereal would work I would think. You may also be working on your legs to much which is increasing your muscle mass.

The best way to lose weight is by doing these two things:1) Have a healthy and balanced permanent diet: dark green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole wheat and whole grain products, non-fat dairy products, fish, poultry breast, lean red meat, egg white.2) Start exercisingAerobic and weight training will raise your metabolic rate.* aerobic exercising3 times per week, conduct an exercise that keeps your heart rate elevated for at least 30-45 minutes (ex: walking, running, cycling, swimming, aerobics)* weight trainingAlternate days of aerobics with weight training. You will build muscles that will burn more calories, even when at rest!Running, walking is very good for thighsCheck out following link for more exercise ideas:

the best answer you can EVER get is the 3 hour diet ! you ll eat every 3 hrs and I m sure you ll never starve cuz i m losing weight on it and never feeling starving or what so ever! soo.. go on ...... 3hourdiet.com

run, run, runelliptical machine is good, tooalso, lunges are good

try not to exercise too much on your legs, I know it sounds daft but the muscle with make your thighs look larger. You may be retaining water, try something with a gentle laxative effect like prunes, running is good for all over body weight loss. Good luck! xx

How to lose weight.? -

i need a quick recipe or anything to help me lose weight.possibly some excersises. maybe a recipe. i have to lose 15 pounds by aug. 18, help me please,I DONT CARE IF IT S NOT HEALTHY! STOP SAYING IT ISN T, I KNOW IT S NOT, YOUR JUST PLAIN STUPID IF YOU TELL ME THAT!

get diet pills

well, you didn t mention how much you weigh now. I mean, if you re actually overweight it ll be a lot easier and pounds will just drop off once you start dieting. But, if you re at a healthy weight and just want to lose vanity pounds it won t be so easy.The simplest plan is always the best: just cut your calories to 1200 a day and do at least 30 mins of aerobic exercise a day. do more if you want to lose faster. you can break up your workouts; for instance you can do 25 mins jogging in the day and then ride a bike for another 25 mins at night. That would give you almost a whole hour of exercise. Do not eat any sugary/fried foods or sugary sodas. Diet sodas and other diet drinks are ok. Drink at least a half gallon of fluid a day, preferably water or green tea (Which revs up your metabolism). If you re a coffee nut like me make sure you get skinny drinks that are sugar-free and have fat-free milk.you can take off one day a week from your diet to eat whatever you like. i m trying to lose weight before school too and I lost 6 pounds the first week doing this.good luck :)

HeyTry to find weight loss program which suits your body. You can use fitness equipment/tools and training program. http://www.squidoo.com/fitnesstools here you will find top 5 weight loss program and tips. Avoid eating fats like milk, butter /cake/oil/sweets/chocolates.Eat more vegetables, fruits, juices...but keep drinking juice so your glucose level will maintain and u didnt get any weekness. And as simple exercise start walking. while walking move your hand and legs freely and fast....dont speak during walking. take deep breath and walk faster and faster till u get sweat. I think this will enough for you. One more remedies for this is.....take lemon juice and honey in hot water glass and drink it in early morning on emply stomach. and then go for walk. Best of lukBut still i suggest that if you concern for your health and fitness first go to nearer slimming center. Ask for diet and things...

ok well you need to only eat fruit and drink only water. avoid any fats carbs and choletrol. talk couple mile walks everyday and do some zen and yoga everyday. if you wanna intense it a little bit you can run a couple miles instead of walk a couple miles. if your older avoid any achole. its a healthy but yet very affective diet.

Well I guess I m stupid.... but then again, I m the skinny one. If you don t care about your health then go ahead and try a gimmick product that promises you extreme weight loss and see what happens. Maybe once you see for yourself how dangerous it is you ll appreciate that stupid people tried to warn you and you ll take it more seriously in the future. Best of luck!

for a workable diet - here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb(potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category), 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like.

eat half of everything you normally eat and exercise everyday for an hour each day. make sure you are still eating though. and drink water and Gatorade. don t drink juices or soda. mostly stick to water and some Gatorade.good luck.:)

Jog or ride a bike for a couple miles every day and lay off the fast food. Green tea, plain without suger will help you lose weight.

im almost in the same situation ; good luck if you find a way ! [ oh and tell me the trick haha ]

purge. ahaha

stop eating

Ummm u got problems?By the way, I lost 20 pounds AND IM NOT TELLING U HOW!! HAHA!

How to lose weight? -

Weight loss and fitness is always a long term commitment and never a quick fix. If you really want to reduce your weight a bit, this is a complex regime, that should help, I would get a pencil to write it down, in case you forget any of the intricate details.Currently only using the criteria lose weight there are 8,726 questions and answers on Answers already. Mis-spell it as loose weight and you get another 2,424! Weight loss will add another 1,750. Too fat 14,518 and overweight 2,500 and over weight 24,409!!!!!. Diet Pills gives 577, Hoodia 189, pink patch 109, Xenical 84 Reductil 74, Slim fast 208 (and Slimfast 69 ) and orlistat 38 . Do you spot a pattern here?Here comes the only answer, no tricks, no pills, no short cuts, If you really want to lose weight, loose weight, not be too fat or overweight, follow these instructions carefully:-1) Eat less2) Take regular vigorous exerciseRepeat 1+2 foreverI am afraid this answer of mine is cut and pasted about 10 times every day, though I do update the numbers. What would really be the point is creating a new answer each time for an identical question, which actually has an answer that everybody knows already?

Losing weight is simply a matter of burning more calories than you consume. Therefore, you first want to figure out how many calories your body burns on its own, which is highly dependent on your height, weight, age, daily level of activity. You can determine how many calories your body burns on its own at websites like http://www.caloriesperhour.comOnce you determine how many calories your body burns, this is the amount of calories you can eat everyday, without doing additional exercise, and not gaining or losing any weight. To lose weight, you ll want to restrict/reduce the amount of calories you consume, and/or increase your level of activity (in other words, workout more). Typically, you ll need to reduce your caloric intake or burn an additional 3500 calories per week to lose 1 lb per week, which equals to 500 calories per day. If you want to lose 2 lbs per week, restrict your caloric intake and/or increase your workout to burn 1000 more calories per day.The easiest 2 ways to reduce your caloric intake is to:(1) control your portions(2) eat foods lower in caloriesFor #1, you ll want to eat 5-6 smaller meals per day, rather than 3 large ones. By eating more frequently, you ll increase your metabolism because it ll constantly be burning calories. You ll want to eat smaller meals and stop when you feel satisfied, not when you re full. This will allow you to eat the foods you love, without gorging yourself.For #2, you ll want to limit the amount of junk food you eat by substituting certain high calorie foods with lower calorie foods, like eating a small fruit salad instead of a candy bar, or eating sorbet instead of ice cream. Eliminate drinks which are high in sugar and calories, since this is where most Americans get 20-25% of their calories from. Drop the soda for iced sweet tea, or simply drink water. Substitute black coffee with non fat milk and sugar for that high calorie coffee beverage .

All that you really need to do in order to lose weight is to eat healthy and excercise. Here is a simple meal plan of what I usually eat a day:* Breakfast: Fiber One Bar or any kind of protein bar, wheat toast with cream cheese or peanut butter, eggs, oatmeal, or a healthy cereal such as cheerios or special K.* Lunch: rice cakes with peanut butter and fruit with yogurt or lean pocket. * Snack: pretzals, popsickle, 100 calorie pack, fruit, cheese, nuts, celery with cream cheese or peanut butter, carrots with ranch dressing, or any other vegtable.* Dinner: chicken, wheat pasta with a light tomato sauce, Smart Ones (or any other brand) microwave dinners, salad with low-fat dressing, wheat rice, hot dog or hamburger without buns, any other meat if you are not a vegatarian.* Snack: 1/2 cup of non-fat ice cream, italian ice, fruit with colo whip, or cool whip with low-fat grahm crackers.I hope I helped you out a little bit! (: Just remember to eat healthy and burn more calories than you eat! Drink a lot of water and eat regularly to keep your metabolism going! * Excercise at least 30-40 minutes a day. Make sure you do strength excercises every other day, and cardio every day. There are many simple excercises to do too. You can jog, jump rope, use a workout video, life weights, go on a treadmill, do sit-ups, push-ups,...the list can go on and on! If you want more ideas, just search excercises on Google and I know a lot of things are going to come up! Good luck! (:

everyone is correct with there answers,they have all forgotten one thing though- the mental aspect of losing weight....for you to acheive a goal you need to have a strong motivation to complete your goal.find out what gets you excited,football,boxing,athletics,anythi�� you can look up to and admire/aspire to be.losing weight is a long ,drawn out, laborious process that takes a hell of a lot of will power and determination,set yourself goals and if you achieve them,reward yourself with your favourite chocolate bar etc.as long as you follow what everyone else has said about healthy eating - excersise, you will be ok to treat yourself once a week.

I suggest you check out a book called The New Rules of Lifting (There s also a women s version). It really helped me figure out why the things I was doing weren t working. It also gives you workout programs that you can use for the rest of your life and not just six weeks like most programs. Try not to pass on the book just b/c it has weight lifting on the cover.

Drink a cup of green tea each morning. It s a proven, natural metabolism booster. Eat breakfast. It gets your metabolism going and helps you avoid overeating throughout the day. Walk a mile each day. It s a fun, healthy, and easy way to burn some calories. Say no to fast food. Eat twice as much as something healthy - vegtables and fruits are great choices. Drinks 10 ounces of water before each meal. It s a simple way to say hydrated, and will keep you feeling satisfied longer. Stop eating at 8:00pm. Late-night grazing tends to include lots of calories, and can start a binge.

everyday eat healty-fruits and veggies(4-7servings) dairy and meat(4-7 ser.) grains(3-11) , drink water only 8-60cups a day, exersize to sweat, feel pain, feel tha burn, get tired, and get outa breath 1-14 hrs ov intense exersize a day, shower 2-14 times a day, sleep 9-14 hrs a night, muscule weighs more than fat, and its better to be strong !

eat a well balanced diet with proper portions, drink plenty of water, and get at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 5-6 days a week. grilled or baked lean meats, like chicken, turkey or fish. raw or steamed vegetables. fresh fruits. whole grains. lowfat dairy.

I ve tried everything but weight watchers is the only thing that has worked. Not really the diet but the humiliation if I don t lost any!!I would sugget joining a club. It costs less than the food you would be eating...trust me!

Just try to eat as healthier as you can, drink lots of water, and also don`t forget the green tea( you should have 3 cups a day), start doing some sports.I wish you good luck!

eat healthy foods and the major thing that will help you lose weight is running running is everything just pace yourself before running hardcore.

1. portion control of food fluids....diets dont work!2. 5 or 6 days /week of cardio toning exercises3. self confidence discipline

drink water... drink lots of water the more you drink the more you will loose

starve yourself or eat healthily and exercise.

cut out all frys fats and suger use sweeteners

Start to build your strength and stamina. Try running 3/4 times a week for at least 20 minutes. Then you can do a circuit which doesn t need a gym and you can do it at home - or in the park. I have given you an example of one that I do but the key is to keep it short and difficult and you will get fit fast.
