A lot of walking.
Atkins Diet...Bacon, Sausage, Peanut Butter...Yeah!!!
I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutritionist and Neuromuscular Therapist.First, to the responder above me: a person needs a MINIMUM of 64 ounces ( 2 quarts) of water daily to be healthy, more if they exercise. Suggesting that a mere 8 ounces of water daily is all that is necessary is laughable and the surest way to ruin your health that I can think of. Get your facts straight!Losing weight without physical exercise is an arduous and pain-staking process. You will be tied to constant calorie counting and diet modification with no exact way of determining what your lost weight really consists of. Dieters typically lose SOME fat, usually lots of lean muscle and are usually dehydrated. Weight loss measured only in pounds is meaningless without ensuring that the lost weight is actually fat. This is the pitfall of the diet only approach.You should consider one important point: if you ve gained weight through this approach to your physical health, namely, avoidance of exercise, how do you expect to lose fat and eventually control future weight gain using the same methodology? Paraphrasing, Albert Einstein once asked, how can you overcome your failures by approaching the solution to the problem with the same tactics that created the problem in the first place? .Your body has 639 muscles for a reason- YOU ARE DESIGNED TO MOVE! Physical activity, especially vigorous exercise, is the only sure way to control your weight and be healthy. Anything less will not be conditioning your body to work properly and in accord with its design.I ve seen this over and over for many years. People who attempt to lose fat and then maintain their weight by dieting alone are setting themselves up for failure because the process is so difficult. People who eat healthy AND exercise do not have to count calories or be as concerned about losing the weight, the process happens automatically because their body is working more efficiently. Exercise is the catalyst that changes the body. Exercise causes your body to produce chemicals that burn fat and increases your overall metabolism. Diet alone does not. Food does not, and cannot, stimulate your body to burn fat. Without exercise you ll lose muscle mass. Muscle burns fat 24 hours a day. Simply put, the more muscle you have the more fat you ll burn. Food does not build or maintain muscle mass, exercise does.The best advice I can give you is this: whatever your issues/hangups about physical exercise are, get over it! That may sound harsh but it s true. If the issue is laziness, lack of motivation or you re just not sure what to do, you need to figure out how to overcome the problem.Life doesn t give you something for nothing. If you want to be lean and healthy you ve got to work at it, and that requires physical exercise combined with proper nutrition.
Strategies to Take Off The Weight And Keep it Off for GoodDespite the best-seller titles, product labels, and magazine covers that say otherwise, there��s no realsecret to losing weight. In a nutshell, you have to eat fewer calories than you burn. The tricky part is finding a diet you can live with that will keep off the pounds. And with popular weight lossplans banishing entire food categories, like carbohydrates, fats, or anything processed, it��s nearlyimpossible to know if you��re eating too much of one thing or too little of something else.Is there a happy medium? There is, and the message is simple: Choose the best, lose the rest. To help you create your own personal plan, one you can mold to your tastes and lifestyle, we��ve reviewed the latest studies of the concepts behind the most popular regimens; we��ve also ditched the potential pitfalls. The result: A diet you can live with for the rest of your life��at home, at work, and at restaurants. All you have to do is follow these simple rules.Eat a Serving of Protein at every MealIn every recent study pitting Atkins against low-fat diets, people on Atkins lost weight faster. Why? There are probably several explanations, but the most important reason, experts say, is that protein seemsto be more filling than simple carbohydrates or fat. Also, there may be a slight metabolic advantageto protein-rich meals. One study reported that switching 18 percent of total calories from carbs toprotein causes the body to burn about 3 percent more calories over the following 24-hour period. For someone eating 1,400 calories a day, that would mean an extra 42 calories burned, not a lot, butenough to lose a few extra pounds every six months.Choose : * Eggs (hard-boiled are portable) * Low-fat yogurt and cheese * Peanut butter, other nut butters, and nuts * Lean meat and poultry * Legumes * Soy products such as tofu, tempeh, and edamame (raw or steamed soybeans) * Sunflower seedsLose: * Hamburger and marbled meats, which are laden with saturated fat * High-fat dairy products * Processed meats like bologna, pepperoni, and baconEat two Servings of Fruits and Veggies at every MealProtein may be key for weight loss, but carbohydrates, especially the ones in high-fiber fruits and vegetables, keep the weight off. In fact, recent findings show that the more carbs people eat, the less they��re likely to weigh. Why? Analysis shows that high-carb diets tend to be lower in calories and energy density (the number of calories per ounce of food). However, it��s important to eat the right kind of carbs, high-fiber vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. These carbs take time to digest, preventing spikes in blood sugar levels and making you feel full longer.Choose : * Whole-grain cereals and breads * Whole-wheat pasta * Brown rice * Leafy green vegetables * Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts * Legumes * Fruits such as apples, pears, and berries * Sweet potatoesLose : * French fries * Cookies, doughnuts, and pastries * Candy * Potato chips * Sugary soft drinks * White bread, pretzels, and crackersPour on the Healthy Fat, at least when you��re in losing modeNaked steamed vegetables get pretty old after a while. Fat makes foods satisfying, and it just plain tastes good. Some forms of it, fish oil and unsaturated oils like olive and canola, may even protect against heart disease and cancer. And amazingly, after years of recommending low-fat diets, leading nutrition scientists now say there��s no evidence that people lose weight, or body fat, by eating less fat. Evidence shows you can lose weight on both low and high fat diets; it��s the calorie count that matters. Eat foods you love, whether they��re high in fat or not. Just remember that gram for gram, fat contains twice the calories of carbohydrates, so treat yourself to the very best, and savor small portions.Choose : * Nuts * Popcorn made with canola or olive oil * Lean cuts of beef and pork (look for the words ��loin�� and ��round��) * Broiled or grilled dishes * Bread with olive oilLose : * Processed foods (chips or crackers, for example, unless they��re made without trans fats) * Fried foods * Bread soaked with butter (a little bit goes a long way) * Cream soups and saucesLeave Half your Dinner on your PlateThe latest diet studies provide new evidence of an old truth: To lose weight, you��ve got to eat less. But in today��s supersize world, it��s hard for dieters to have a realistic sense of what a healthy portion should be, and even harder to stop there. Studies have shown that people tend to do as their mothers told them and clean their plates, no matter how big. The challenge is figuring out how much is reasonable to consume during one sitting, and learning to leave food on your plate.Choose : * A piece of your favorite chocolate instead of a subpar variety, make your calories worth it. * Smaller servings. Still hungry? You can always have more or something else. * The five-minute pause. Give your flatware a rest every five minutes. It can take up to 20 minutes for you to feel full, so this offers your body a chance to say, ��Hey, enough already!��Lose : * All-you-can-eat buffets * Restaurant-hopping or take-out habit. Most restaurant portions are double the reasonable serving size, so share or order two appetizers instead of an entr��e. * Snack foods in bulk (put them in zip-top bags, and eat only one portion) * Oversize plates and bowls, the bigger the surface, the larger the serving.Keep A Tell All Food DiaryThere��s more to weight-loss than what��s on the menu. Dieting is as much a mental hurdle as a physical one, and people use all kinds of motivation strategies. One proven way to stay on track is to keepa food diary and record everything you eat, everything. It may sound like a hassle, but it works. Inone study, researchers found that keeping a food diary was an even better predictor of weight-loss thanexercising regularly. For many people, food journals function like gut checks. If you know that you��regoing to have to account for that bag of potato chips later on, then you might think twice about howhungry you really are.Choose : * A stylish journal (or a PDA, if you��re the techie type) * A supportive friend * A supercool scale * A night out or a ski weekend to celebrate victoriesLose : * Obsessive scale-hopping. Weigh yourself only once a week, at the same time, wearing the same clothing. * Unrealistic expectations * Situations or people that tend to trigger binges * All-or-nothing thinking. If you slip up, don��t beat yourself up. You can��t be perfect all the time. Just get back on track.
you have to exercise. it s the most important, healthy thing you can do. if you want to lose weight without working at it, it won t work and the method will be very unhealthy.
Low-carb!
I know a couple of women who had stomach stapling and banding. They both loss weight and they are happy with the results.
Methamphetamine.
laxatives
surgery or praying.When you are ready to get serious, these are my ideas. Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don t over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!Don t look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

cut out the sugar (completely)
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 :)
