If you drank 4 bottles of water a day and one, small meal, would you lose weight fast? Is this healthy? -

I have a friend who needs to lose weight fast, and she doesn t know how to do it; is this a healthy diet? *Plus exercising!

lol fatty gorry prob not healthy but theres nothin u can do for her anywaygive me best answer

No, it is recommended that women shouldn t eat less than 1200 calories per day. On top of that, you should be drinking more water than just 4 bottles. Closer to 8 bottles of water. It s recommended that you should drink about 1 gallon of water a day. 1 meal a day won t get you any where close to the amount of calories your body needs to keep going.

your friends diet will put her into a starving mode which will in turn store fat and retain water which will make you appear larger. although not the healthiest diet to be on the low carb diet is best for losing 5-10lbs within days. eat no more then 20 grams of carbs per day and you will lose 1-2lbs per day..this is only a temporary fix that should not be done for longer then 2 weeks but the results are quite amazing. i do this a few times yearly and my skin basically all gets sucked in cause of the water loss and it really makes you appear very slender.

No, it s not healthy at all. When you eat just one time per day your body see as there is no food and start to go into starvation mode which is to try to storage as much as possible which means the food that she will consume will become FAT.The ideal will be to have a balance diet with protein, carbs and fiber and spread out in 5 to 6 times a day.Drinking water is very good.http://www.minimizeme.tvThe ups and downs of an ordinary man on a diet.(it s my blog, not selling any pills, books or magic formulas)

no!!!! You need at least 32 ounces of water. It is even a better thing to take your weight cut it in half and that is how many ounces of water you should drink. Exercise is always good for your body. Eating only one small meal is not healthy and may actually make you gain weight as it slows your metabolism.

some. but its very unhealthy and she could develop and eating disorder. dont let her do it! i have an eating disorder and its a living hell. make sure she eats at least 1200 calories a day.

She may be able to lose the weight, but the water retention will be pretty bad. Not healthy at all.

the Volumetric diet is the most sensible (and successful) I ve ever heard of or tried. One meal isn t enough!!!

NO, SHE SHOULD BE DRINKING A LEAST 64 OUNCES OF WATER A DAY 5 TO SIX SMALL MEALS .

no cause she not eating enough

How to lose weight fast? -

im trying to lose weight fast i only need to lose 20 ponds but it doesnt seem to be burning off i eat ok but i spoil it bye eatiing a sweet little desert but not much i also exersise

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurities come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://diet4cleansing.com

To successfully lose weight, you must carry outa plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise.Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionallybalanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity. I found useful informations at http://myweight.info/

Drink 8 cups of water a day, which half can include decaffeinated drinks. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. More protein and less carbohydrates.Stay away from starchy and sugary foods.By doing all of this, you will lose weight fast.

make one week plan. eats regularly but do exercise 1 hour everyday such as jogging in place. do you know that jogging in place burned more calories than weight lifting? end of the week check you weight difference. if is not close to 1lbs than you one week meal is too much or in other word you are taking daily calories intake more than the calories needed to maintain your weight. so adjust you calories intake to the one that is needed to maintain your desired weight. there is calculator to help you on that. by doing this one week plan you know what kind of metabolism do you have. therefore with this kno0wledge you understand better your body and how to fight fat better.check my profile for more knowledge on that and some helpful calculator.

eat balance and healthy foods like rich in fibers and iron

Whats a good diet to lose weight fast!? -

I would like to lose 30 pounds by christmas is it possable? any tips?

you should eat at least 4-5 meals a day.drink lots of water, and eat regularly. don t starve yourself, because once you start eating again, you ll gain everything back, trust me.eat lots of fruits and veggies, and if you eat bread, make sure it s whole grain. white bread is pretty fattening. you can also eat lean meats, like fish, turkey and chicken breast. eggs also help when trying to lose weight.skip out on sweets, candy, sugary foods, chips, ice cream, cake, and cookies.if you feel hungry, but don t want to over eat, chew gum. it ll keep your mouth busy and it tricks yourself into thinking your eating.cut out ALL soda! if you stop drinking soda, it helps you out a lot!and don t forget to exercise!try walking, jogging, jump rope, dancing, crunches, bike riding and swimming. try exercising for 45-80 minutes a day.good luck!

Fastest is not best, but you have time to reach your goal doing it the right way. A lot of the answers you will see here will tell you to take some sort of supplement. Don t take diet pills. They are unnatural and dangerous. It is not the lack of pills that got you heavy; that is not the fix you need. It was (most likely) improper diet and lifestyle that got you the extra weight. That is the fix you need.The best way to lose weight is through the principles of balance and moderation. You need to eat good food and eat enough of it.Shoot to lose 1-3 pounds per week. No more. Don t go hungry, just keep yourself filled with good, natural foods.Don t worry about calories. Caloric science is flawed for several reasons. 1) it assumes 100% absorption, but we all absorb and excrete different amounts; 2) It assumes all calories are processed the same, but calories from natural sources are burned more slowly and evenly than from refined sources; 3) It assumes that the amount of energy released by combustion (burning) in a lab is the same amount of energy released when the food is broken down enzymatically in the gut; 4) It assumes that the same exercise done by different people will burn the same amount of exercise, but different exercises will be harder or easier for different people; 5) Correlation does not prove causation. People who are heavier eat more calories: did the calories make them heavy, or did being heavy make them need more calories? Maybe they are both symptoms of a deeper problem. 6) people in China consume 25-40% more calories; even the sedentary office workers have more calories and less obesity than we.Asian cultures have long ago figured out how we should be eating, Ever since we have looked to science to tell us how to eat we have seen more obesity and diet-related disease. If we eat like the Asians, we will look like the Asians. This doesn t mean you have to eat Asian food, just adhere to the principles that are common to the different cultures and cuisines.You should eat mostly vegetables, mostly cooked (cold and raw foods slow your metabolism because they need to be cooked in your stomach) and a wide variety, mostly fresh and in-season and local, simple grains (more rice, less bread), some fruit, a little meat, no dairy (it s for infants and grows tissue), and no artificial foods.Avoid artificial foods, including sugar substitutes. Don t worry about calories, fat, protein, carbs, nor any one component of food.There are several books that explain this strategy of eating. The Asian Diet: simple secrets for eating right, losing weight, and being well by Bussell explains the diet and its rationale. The Asian Diet: get slim and stay slim the Asian way by Tran has recipes that adhere to the principles. The China Study by Campbell has the science behind the recommendation.Get some exercise every day, but not too much and not always the same exercise. Start slow and work your way up. Calisthenics are great, as is Tai Chi. Walking and swimming are also great. All other exercises should be in a wide rotation.Follow the principles of balance and moderation and you ll be fine. Most diets in America are not balanced nor moderate.Source(s):http://www.theasiandiet.comhttp://www.thechinastudy.com

Try and adopt a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is undoubtedly better for those of us watching our diet. There are a lot of advantages of keeping to a vegetarian diet but I don��t want to sing an ode to vegetarianism now. What I would suggest is keep to a vegetarian diet as much as you can. Make a non- vegetarian diet a week end event or something if you find it impossible to give up eating all those animals.

How to lose weight tradittionally? -

Avoid taking Chocolates Coffee Mints and Red Meat while taking homeopathic medicine.Take Care and God Bless !

don t waitt ill your starving to eat. you will tend to eat more if you do. to avoid this, I personally always carry a granola bar in my purse, and will ocassionally take a bite out of it if I start getting hungry but am too busy to go out n have an actual meal.everyone s metabolosm is dsifferent, and it helps some to eat more frequently, but in lesser porprtions. Also, my brother only eats one very large meal a day, n he s pretty skinny.

tradititonally, eat smaller portions. Try your best not to eat anything heavy after 6pm. Drink more water. eat less sweets, more vegetables and increase your activity level. If you cannot join a gym, try to walk at least one mile everyday, and gradually increase it. cut down on junk food and fast food. take vitamins and tell yourself that you can do it.

Fast during Lente

Excercise and eat healthy. Enroll into a gym. Eat fruits and vegtables. Cut out junk food sugar,and soda. Cut back on carbs and don t allow yourself to eat 5 hrs before going to sleep.

Krista says: Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. ROTFLMAO!! There s no proof that anyone needs that much water. NONE. Just folklore, urban myth, old wives tale. (See references) And the belief that it helps your body pick out the nutrients is just plain unfounded. Your body does a fine job picking out nutrients with or without excess fluids.Bottom line: Drink when you re thirsty. Period. Do not obsess over or worry about getting some arbitrary amount of water as a daily goal . You already get most of the water your body needs from the food you consume. The rest of Krista s advice is reasonable. But she s got some crazy ideas about physiology.READ: http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/batman.h��http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8gla��http://calorielab.com/news/2006/05/28/8-��

Try the Special K cereal diet. It limits your food intake, plus it s fairly healthy and has a few vitamins...have one cup of cereal and a half a cup of skim milk for breakfast and lunch, then have a regular dinner. Also, cut out ALL drinks except water and maybe some NATURAL juice. In addition to running with my dogs, this REALLY worked for me!

no drugs!!!!it s that simple

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that��s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. Don��t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can��t live without your one treat a day, don��t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that��s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you��ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night. As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don t hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don t pick me as best answer, i d be happy to help. Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC. There are many, many helpful facts on there.

Follow the food guide. If you do that, you re not denying your body of anything it needs. Have small meals with frequent snacks (healthy things). Try to limit your caffeine intake too. That also makes a difference. Helped me lose 23 lbs.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu s even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

1 Dietary control and exercise. It��s true what they say - all you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It��s really that simple. You can quit reading this list now, you now know everything you need to know and didn��t need to fork over $500 for the privilege of me telling you the secret of losing weight. You don��t need to read a 4,000 page book, you don��t have to buy a tape series, you don��t need to stay up late at night to watch infomercials to understand this basic premise. It��s 100% true.2 Change your lifestyle. If you��re calling this a ��diet,�� then you��re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you��re changing your habits - and you��re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance. Don��t ever tell anybody you��re on a diet - ever. I��m speaking from experience, here - a reformed low-carber. Worked out well for a while, but ultimately failed because my entire lifestyle didn��t change (permanently).3 Join an online support group. In my case, I created my own - FatBlasters. It��s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends (new or old) is typically a smart move. I just heard about PeetTrainer, but didn��t know about it when I began down the road to weight loss. You have to know that others are out there for moral support - they know things that you couldn��t possibly know, and they��ve probably been ��in your shoes�� at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures - share them. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find the one that fits you.4 Take before and after photos. I know it sucks to see yourself as a chunky monkey (sorry, that��s what I called myself - if only to get myself motivated to meet my weight loss goal). However, there��s no easier way to illustrate your progress. The ��after�� photos are far more fun to capture and share, admittedly. Find yourself on Flickr! It��s good to see yourself how others see you. Do you like how you look? In many ways, Flickr helped me lose weight.5 Hire a substitute teacher. Don��t reach for the brands you know and love immediately - or without thinking first. Eggs are ��good�� for you, but consider using egg substitutes instead (in fact, many restaurants will let you order lower calorie foods). There are countless ��lower�� alternatives for you to try. If something different doesn��t taste good, by all means - find a better substitute, or eat less of the original. In some cases, the substitute may be worse for you than the regular version of the product. The good news is, healthier choices are silently replacing their ��normal�� counterparts - and they taste just as nice.6 Start reading labels. I know it sucks, but you have to do it - and there��s no way to avoid this tip. If you don��t know what you��re putting in your mouth, you��re flying blind. Don��t assume, either - triple-check the ingredients list and serving sizes. You must rely on yourself for this; nobody else is going to be able to lose the weight or do the math for you. It��s not that complicated a task, but it will require effort. If nothing else, just pay attention to the calorie count.7 What��s so funny about bovines? If you like cheese, you must buy the Laughing Cow brand, and keep several of the suckers in stock at all times. The individually-wrapped wedges make for excellent snacks, and are wonderful when melted over just about anything edible. I��d be careful about straight-up American cheese, though - it��s oil, but not necessarily as good for you as (say) a slice of cheddar would be. I have yet to find something as calorie-light and filling as Laughing Cow (I don��t know how they do it).8 Tell your family. You��re not going to lose the weight alone, even if you ARE alone in losing the weight. If you��ve got a family at home, talk to them about it - initially, not incessantly. Let them know what you��re going to do, and that you want (and need) their support. If you don��t let them know, you��re running the risk of them inadvertently sabotaging your efforts. You want them to help you get to your goal(s). You want them to share in your happiness when you��ve made it past a certain mark. Who knows? Maybe some of your new habits will rub off on them and they��ll become healthier people, too?
