Fast For Weight Loss

The 24 hour fasting for weight loss is commonly known as IF is described as a typical pattern of eating and that is to say on alternate days. In simple it means that you fast for 24 hours and then allow yourself to eat for next 24 hours and then again fasting for next complete day and so on. The IF does not stop you totally from taking anything orally; you can consume water and other fluids but no sugar. This program has been experimented and the outcome was some evidences proving that it helps in losing weight without losing the energy. It does have beneficial effects on the health of human.

The 24 hour fasting besides helping you lose weight helps you controlling your blood pressure, reduces blood sugar, improves the insulin sensitivity, increases HDL level, helps you live longer and reduces the weight. And this all happens without, you, quitting the regular diet.

There are so many people who fast for a specific time keeping in view the aim with which they are fasting and the circumstances under which they fast. The 24 hour fasting is thought to be great in contributing wellness and prolonged existence, losing of extra weight, arthritis, valuable blood lipids, diabetes control, and reducing the chances of deadly illnesses like cancer. In fact staying empty stomach creates some very positive changes in the metabolism of a body. When you have eaten less you will not have to burn more and that way your body or the inner systems will not have to work more than the actual design thus keeping them from undergoing any extra pressures which ultimately gives longevity to your life span.

The 24 hour fasting is simple to carry on with as you do not have to do anything extra rather you just have to cut down that extra which you have been doing for long. This cutting down promises you so much of positivity which you can never attain while being with your normal dietary routine.

In fact, I have a different concept about the positive aspects of 24 hour fasting for weight loss. Look every living being is creation of God Al mighty and the life span, the fate and the food stuff one would take during the life is something which has been written already by the God. Now skipping 3 meals means that you have added a time in your life in which you would consumes the food stuff worth those three meals. So missing three every alternate day helps you increasing the time span every alternate day and this simple formula increases your life with every passing day in which you do not consume your food. You have got all the rights to disagree with my concept but do give it a thought before discarding it right from the outset.

Skipping any kind of food for a complete day will keep you light, help you lose the extra mass you have put on and the inner systems will grow stronger and healthy. This is where the 24 hour fasting helps you in losing weight and staying healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Can anyone give me any websites to get info on fast weight loss?
    I have been searching for information on this for a while but everytime i've read through a few pages they then ask you to pay for information. I just want somewhere to give me an idea of how to promote fast weight loss. I am very active, i exercise 5 days a week sometimes twice and eat healthyly but my weight never changes. i do want to loose some but need help on how.

    • ANSWER:
      With all of the extravagant claims for weight loss products and schemes - whether they have to do with tea or not - a good rule of thumb is buyer beware. With that in mind, however, there is evidence that indicates that tea might play a role in weight loss.

      When it comes to losing weight, one of the simplest ways tea can help is by acting as a substitute for high-calorie sweetened beverages. Freshly brewed tea without milk, sugar or other additives has no calories and even small amounts of these add-ins typically contribute only a modest amount. By comparison, a 16-ounce Starbucks Frappucino may contain as much as 470 calories, while eight ounces of Coca-Cola contains 97 calories.

      Studies also indicate that tea itself may play a role in weight loss. A 2005 study looked at 35 Japanese men over a period of three months. Some subjects were given bottled oolong tea with a green tea extract that contained 690 milligrams of catechins. Others were given oolong tea that contained 22 milligrams of catechins. Though their diets were similar, the former group lost an average of 5.3 pounds, as opposed to the latter's 2.9 pounds. The men given higher doses of catechins also saw a greater decrease in body mass index, waist size, total body fat and undesirable LDL cholesterol.

      More recently, research conducted at the University of Connecticut over a period of six week, saw both lean and obese mice fed a green tea extract (GTE), in varying amounts. As noted in these pages previously, the study found that the extract might help ward off fatty liver disease. There are also indications that GTE might aid in weight loss as well as lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

      Other research examining possible connections between tea and weight loss include this study from 1999, which investigated whether green tea extract could increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. Another study, whose results were also published in 1999, examined the alleged anti-obesity action of oolong tea. Yet another study, published in 2000, measured the effectiveness of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) derived from green tea leaves in reducing appetite and contributing to weight loss in rats.

  2. QUESTION:
    When it comes to fast weight loss, does the amount of calories matter more than the amount of fat?
    I'm currently on "calorie restricting diet", and have been for a week. but I want to know whether calories matter more than the fat count, when it comes to fast weight loss. I'm trying to reach a goal of 4lb loss per week :) any help would be wonderful?

    • ANSWER:
      When it comes to losing weight, calories are all that matters. If I eat a 500 calorie cheeseburger, or 500 calories worth of wheat bread, the body is still going to store it/use it the same way.

  3. QUESTION:
    Which machines should I use at the gym for fast weight loss and toning?

    • ANSWER:
      Use cardio machines for 45 min to 1.5 hr intervals and for toning, use freeweights or machines - low weight, high rep

  4. QUESTION:
    Help choosing meal plan for fast weight loss?
    I have recently purchased the Slim in 6 workout program. I need to to lose weight fast, and yes I know that losing weight extremely fast isn't healthy, but I'm looking to lose the most weight I can in a healthy manner. What diet plan should I follow to go with this program? I am horrible at planning meals, I'm a vegetarian and seeking meals and food options that are inexpensive.

    • ANSWER:
      You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you'll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

      If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn't get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn't slow your metabolism down to compensate for lowered calories.

      Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

      High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.

      Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!

  8. QUESTION:
    How much is too fast weight loss?
    Hey i plan on losing weight, which is not the problem for me. I just read that it's healthy to lose only up to 1kg per week! That seems very slow as i want to lose about 15kg, and don't really want to wait so long. So what is too rapid that it causes problems? If i go 2kg per week, is it ok? What problems could i get at 2kg/week?

    • ANSWER:
      me also.i was 83kg six weeks ago until i go to the gym and go six days per week until now.now in six weeks,i lost 6 kg and nearly 13pounds.i burned around 13000 calories in total to date.i did track my effort and found out i have to lose around 3700calories for 1kg and 1800calories for 0.5kg.i did diet by cutting down rice intake which i did not eat rice anymore yet still consume mee in the morning.i eat cereal bread,biscuit and oat cereal,and still eat vegetable and little meat.

      yes...its best to lose 1kg per week.maximum u should burn 3700 calories...

      its not that easy to burn them as u think and reduce so fast.i try to burn 5400 calories per week,it means 900calories per day.it is a lot for a day..
      imagine u did it everyday and last for a month,its actually very tiring...
      i dont know what would be the problem..but is diificult to achieve that number...
      ibelieve u have not start exercise to lose weight,that is why u dont know the pain and rules..
      believe it takes few months

  9. QUESTION:
    What's a great diet to follow for fast weight loss?
    I'm trying to diet, and everything I've tried is way to hard to follow. Does anyone have any suggestions on how and what I should eat? Or does anyone have a basic diet I can follow that you're willing to share? Are there any free diets out there that are easy to follow? I'm trying to maintain muscle mass, but loose alot of fat as fast as possible.
    Please help!
    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      The Best Answer:

      Basic Diet Consists of 3-4 days of eating the following foods at each meal (4-5 meals/day):
      4-5 oz of fish, chicken, lean beef, turkey
      4 cups of veggies of these types (broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, brussell’s sprouts, collard greens, spinach) - these are usually frozen and I measure out 4 cups total of any combination of them
      1 tablespoon olive oil
      seasonings to taste (salt, pepper, hot sauce, soy sauce - anything without calories). No need to limit salt intake here if you like to salt your foods.

      Supplements consist primarily of:
      Specially formulated blend of Antioxidants
      Specially formulated blend of High-Potency B-Vitamins
      Ripwire
      Branched Chain Amino Acids (a lot!)
      Several other esoteric supplements like 7-Keto (I’ll go into these in detail at a later time).

      Then, every 4rd or 4th day my diet consists of (really!):

      Pancakes
      Haagen-Daazs ice cream
      Snickers bars
      Rice
      Bread
      Donuts
      Pasta
      Ice cream shakes
      Fill in with your imagination…

      Amounts? AS MUCH AS I COULD STUFF INTO MY BODY. I averaged 6,500 calories on these days.

      Doesn’t sound right? Doesn’t sound possible? Doesn’t sound healthy?

      Well…

      The proof is in my fat loss — so I must be doing something right
      As for health, my cholesterol is less than 170, my HDL/LDL ratio is great, my triglycerides are very low, and every indicator of health on a recent bloodwork was exceptional.

      I WILL BE HONEST HERE!

      The last 3 weeks or so coming up I’ll be a lot less liberal on the all-you-can-eat junk food days. In fact, I’ll only have a high carb meal at the end of the day on Monday and Thursday for the next 3 weeks. This is only in order to get to the very low bodyfat levels.

      HOWEVER….

      Remember what I’ve been eating along the way and still lost all this fat. I’ve done so NOT in spite of what I’ve been eating (important!!!), but a result of WHAT I’ve been eating, INCLUDING all of the junk food. Junk food has ACCELERATED MY FAT LOSS to this point.

      This means if you want to get to a significantly good shape, you DON’T have to give up your favorite junk foods. In fact, you should PLAN THEM into your diet every 3-4 days. If you don’t, then you WON’T get the results you’re after — TRUST ME!

      Then, when and IF… your progress stagnates should you then do the restrictions I mentioned I’ll be doing over the next 3 weeks.

      It’s really pretty easy. You can find out more tips here:

  13. QUESTION:
    Any suggestions for SAFEand FAST weight loss?
    I just had surgery on my foot and I cant walk or use my foot yet. I'm going on vacation in 3 weeks and need to tone up and lose weight before I go. Any SAFE suggestions? Aerobics are OUT of the question.

    • ANSWER:
      Do situps and not just the straight up and down ones because although they will help they wont do it all. You also should do sit ups to your sides to get the muscles running diagonal through your tummy.

      Lift weights for your arms, repition is more important than how heavy they are if you're just trying to tone your body.

      Lie down and pretend like your riding a bycicle.

      Do scissors (where you lie down and lift one leg up in the air over and over)

      And that person that told you to run clearly didnt read your question because if you cant walk, you cant run.

      Other than that, follow what the other people said about dieting. But just so you know, if you lose 15lbs in a week or two, you lost water weight, which is totally useless to you because you'll only put it back on and be disappointed (also, I heard that water weight doesn't show, so if thats true, then losing 15lbs in water weight wont make you look any better) just eat right. And you do need some meat because without iron and protien, you aren't going to do your body much good.

      Oh, and its total B*S that diet drinks wont make you gain weight, they will! Just because they don't have sugar doesn't mean you can still drink them! and FYI, all carbinated drinks are bad for your health.

      Good luck!

  14. QUESTION:
    a question about flabby skin and fast weight loss?
    if you lose weight really quickly and your skin becomes flabby as a result, there is a way to make it tighten again, right? like, will it naturally go back to normal, or is there like lotion for that or something?

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly; it depends on how much skin youre talking about. If it was an extreme amount of weight that you lost and you were carrying it for long time ~ your skin actually loses elasticity and wont go back....
      Vitamin B and Vitamin E are good to help your skin but you should maybe see your doctor and discuss the issue further.
      Also:
      According to a co-worker of mine who lost 85 lbs doing the Dr. Bernstein diet ~ he gives you a shot of straight vitamin B every week to help ensure that your skin doesn't become flabby after the weight loss. Apparently you can purchase the vitamin B shots at any pharmacy as well. Good Luck !!!

  15. QUESTION:
    Any ideas for fast weight loss?
    I definitely need to lose weight before my wedding in October. I`m 5 ft 2 in and 139 lb. I know i`m overweight and should lose about 18-20 lb. How do find out how many calories I need to eat daily? I want to start a workout program too. I want to start with a 20 minutes walk in the morning and 5-10 min of jogging in the evening. Is it enough? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      To check the number of calories you need eat daily, go to projectweightloss.com. You can enter your target weight, and the web site calculates how many calories you should eat every day to reach that weight. The site is free, you just need to sign up as a member.. They also have a diet and workout planner that shows you how many calories you burn when you exercise, and how many you eat with your meals. That`s how you can find out if you exercise enough. You can also use their weight charts and see whether you`re under/over the daily calorie limit. Good luck!

  16. QUESTION:
    What are the best exercises for fast weight loss?
    I am on a diet, but I need some good exercises as well.

    • ANSWER:
      Lots of cardio- running, biking, swimming.

      A good "core" workout does wonders too- pilates/yoga.

      Any regular leg lifts, crunches, etc. only work well if you combine them with regular fat burning cardio.

      With Hoodia I lost 4lbs the first week! After a month, I'm down 13Lbs!
      Personally I think 100% Hoodia in tablets is best!

      Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.
      The problem w/Hoodia is 90%+ are scams. The real Hoodia is expensive and only the one imported from S.Africa has been show to work.
      Many people go for the low cost scam Hoodia and have no results!
      **** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
      #1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
      #2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
      #3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
      #4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!

    thanks!
    is fasting a good method?
    and if so, how long should i do it for ?

    • ANSWER:
      There are unnatural ways of burning fat by burning thermogenics, which I don't recommend even as a GNC representative because they can mess with your hormones and thyroid.

      The best way to make your body utilize fat and burn them is to limit your carb intake while increasing your lean meat intake.
      Remember proteins do not make you gain weight, instead carbs/sugar from snacks/too much fruits/rice/potatoes/etc will make you gain weight thus putting on fat.

      You must burn off the extra calories that you are consuming from mainly carb/sugar products to lose weight.
      And it's not going to be easy to lose weight while not exercising and it is not healthy.

      Also try squeezing lemon in a cup of water in the morning right after waking up and drink it. It will suppress the appetite a bit and increase your metabolism naturally to promote fat burning.

      Keep doing it until you see results.

  19. QUESTION:
    What is an easy fast weight loss method?
    Im 5'3 and currently weigh 145 pds , I stopped working out for a few months and put on alot of weight It makes me really depressed and I know I should diet but I don't know where to start. Whats the best guaranteed way to loose alot of weight????

    • ANSWER:
      Buy food from the grocery store. Buy fruits, vegetables, chicken, fish. Stay away from red meat. Buying your food from the grocery store instead of fast food will change a lot right there if you happen to eat out a lot or go through a drive thru a lot.

      Don't add salt to your food, drink 1 glass of water before each meal so that way you'll feel fuller, stay away from junk food, soda/pop, sweets, etc.

      Through out the day, drink at least 8 - 10 glasses of water a day. It may seem annoying but by doing this, you won't become dehydrated. Water gets rid of bad toxins and cleanses your body. Don't eat anything after 7PM so that way your body burns all of those calories you've had earlier on that day.

      For exercise, I would suggest dancing. Dance to any type of song that really gets you moving fast. Exercise for a good hour or two. Hope I helped.

  23. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know any easy, fast weight loss solutions that actually work?
    I'm looking for something that will really work quickly and i don't really have a lot of time for exercise, i think my problem also is I don't have time to eat so I snack instead of having meals, or go a whole day without food and then pig out at night. Anyone with any ideas to help?

    • ANSWER:
      I see two problems that can easily help you trim down. First, you stated "you snack instead of eating meals", I suggest you watch what you snack on, for instants, snack on fresh fruits, veg'ts, nuts, grain, or snack, fruit, and yogurt bars.
      Secondly, you pig out at night! I suggest you stop and just eat a well balance meal. Don't overdo it just because you skipped a meal.

  24. QUESTION:
    How long should I exercise a day for fast weight loss and how many times per week? 10 pts. for best answer?
    Please no excess information about diet plans, just exercise.

    • ANSWER:
      A good amount of exercise would be 30-60 minutes of a cardio activity (jogging, jump-roping, power-walking, etc.) about 4-5 times a week. It's good to let your body rest a day or two. :) good luck & i hope I helped!

    what is a good diet to feed my dog for fast weight loss?
    My 2 year old golden retriever is over weight. He's a picky eater and doesn't eat much...he just was not blessed with a high metabolism. I'd like to cook for him if there is a proven diet that would work.

      Have you have him tested for hypothyroidism? Its very common in Goldens and will make them over weight even if they don't eat a lot.

  26. QUESTION:
    will meal replacement shakes help fast weight loss?
    I need to lose weight pretty fast...not a ton, maybe like 15lbs, and i know i should eat healthy and workout , but if i have a meal replacement shake for breakfast,lunch and a small healthy dinner, will i lose weight? i dont want a lot of protein in the shakes, i just need to know who has used them/if they will do what i want(healthy or unhealthy) and if anyone has lost weight. If so, how did u use the shakes and how long did it take to lose weight. feedback would be great!

    • ANSWER:
      I'm pretty partial with shakes because they really do not fill you up, and they can lead you to feel deprived rather quickly, causing a binge later.

      Losing weight is ALL about calories in and calories out. That being said, yes meal replacement shakes WILL help you lose weight if at the end of the day, the calories that you expend are greater than what you have taken in.

      Another downfall with shakes is that losing weight is really about a lifestyle change, so if you are not planning on drinking shakes as a meal replacement for the rest of your life, then I would strongly recommend you go a different way. Try planning your meals ahead of time to make sure that you are not going over your calorie allowance for the day, and that you are expending more calories than you are consuming.

      Also, if you do decide to go with shakes, be very careful as to what the sugar content is. A lot of the time, these shakes are loaded with sugar, which causes the release of insulin (a hormone that causes your body to store anything in your bloodstream in your fat cells as quickly as possible when your blood glucose level is high)

      I would recommend sticking to whole, natural foods. Not only will you be happier in the long run because you will actually be making a permanent change to your lifestyle (which is what keeps weight off in the long run, there is nothing worse than losing ten lbs only to gain it all back within a few months). There have also been a lot of studies regarding consuming liquid meals. They tend to digest more quickly, making you hungry much sooner, so you will actually end up eating more, or if you choose to ignore your hunger, you will feel starved.

  27. QUESTION:
    What do you think of this mono meal diet for fast weight loss?
    At least half an hour exercise before breakfast.
    Breakfast: Healthy Carbohydrate e.g Bowl of oats cooked in water or bowl of rice
    Lunch: Protein like salmon steak or plain chicken
    Dinner: Platter of veg e.g Broccali or carrots
    Or should I continue with the current sort of "diet" I am on:
    Breakfast: Black Coffee
    Lunch: Sandwich and piece of fruit
    Dinner: Anything (just one platefull) e.g Spag bog or curry etc

    The best exercise for fast weight loss?
    I need to lose at least 8 pounds in two weeks. What's the best exercise i can do in order to attain this? A detailed regimen will be a lot of help :) thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I think running or swimming are great for aerobic fitness
      and weight loss in the long term,
      but with any exercise you might gain muscle and some weight before you actually lose any weight.

      If I had to do that, I would probably eat less, but more often,
      with smaller portions, eat more fruits and vegetables,
      and less other stuff, no sweets, and run or walk once or twice a day.

  29. QUESTION:

    Any good diets for fast weight loss guys?
    I need to lose weight. What are good diet ideas For men?? Is riding bycicles helpful? and what if i have NO workout stuff at home like weights and stuff? will situps and pushups work??

    • ANSWER:
      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 toxins. Toxins come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The toxins get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the toxins 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://thebestcleansingdiet.com

  31. QUESTION:
    Fast weight loss for a lazy teenager?
    I'm 13 years old and actually want to lose weight now, I've always been to lazy to get up and exercise. But now, I'm gonna give it a try! Any ideas to how to lose a lot of weight fast?

    • ANSWER:
      When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
      If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
      will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
      underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
      exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
      diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
      after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
      your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
      you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
      cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
      diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
      calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
      start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
      most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
      lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
      disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
      your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a
      bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
      to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

    • ANSWER:
      Low Carb Dieting Tip
      Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.

      Ways to Boost Your Metabolism

      Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day--helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.
      Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.

      Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.
      Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.
      Don't Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer)
      Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat.
      Some basic fruit and vegetable tips:
      •Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day.
      •Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It's easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety - include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.

  33. QUESTION:
    Fast weight loss?? How?? Any ideas?
    I'm looking for a fast way to lose weight. I don't mind working hard to achieve it either. Preferable something that is not long distance running-- I've always been a sprinter. But I do enjoy cadio. Does anyone have any good ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      Do high intensity interval training. You will do 2 minutes of slow jog, 1 minute sprint and repeat for 5 times. As you grow more advanced, change the slow jog to 1 minute instead. You will definitely feel the toughness of this. Moderate your eating habits and drink lots of plain water.

  35. QUESTION:
    Diet for fast weight loss, how does this sound?
    I know this isn't healthy, so I only want to do it for a week.
    But how much weight would I lose if, I started with the three day diet, and drank six cups of coffee a day with small meals throughout the rest of the four days of the week?
    i dont need to lose a rediculous amount of weight, i weigh 63 kg. but i would like to look nice.

    • ANSWER:
      Is it a low calorie diet? Because if it is you will gain it back the next week. To effectively lose weight you gotta eat your RDA of calories and do some exercise. The small meals throughout the day thing is great though it boosts your metabolism. Just make sure it all adds up to 1800-2000 calories. If your a girl 1200-1500.

      Trust me, it works. I was 228 in August 08, and now im down to 195.

  36. QUESTION:
    Question for Everyone have you ever tried a fast weight loss diet and did it work?
    And how much did you lose
    what did you do

    • ANSWER:
      No, and they don't work.
      Deprived of food the body goes into conservation mode.
      Weight loss during crash diets doesn't continue for a very long time. Eventually, you will find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau, during which it will become more and more difficult for you to lose weight. The majority of crash dieters find that this weight loss plateau is followed by a period of weight gain. Many followers of crash diets even end up putting back on all of the weight they lost, along with additional pounds.
      Safe and steady is best, take exercise, eat sensibly and be patient

  37. QUESTION:
    Am I on the road to fast weight loss?
    I'm 15 and 5'8 and recently have gained alot of weight. For breakfast I had exactly 1 small bowl of special k cereal and for lunch I had a few grapes and a fist size piece of fresh salmon. I went on an hour bike ride this morning and I exercise twice a day, and I go to a gym. I'm doing all this to get in shape for modeling. Am I on the road to good and fast weight loss? I weigh 140

    • ANSWER:
      Maybe and maybe not. It hits unhealthy when you go under 126lbs. But eatting and exercising like that could turn into anorexia. Eat more an hour before a work out and you ll still be burning of weight but therell still be some that your body will feed on if your not getting the proper diet. Celery also cancels out calories so you can eat celery after a
      meal. Just eat more and keep exerxising.

For the fastest possible weightloss, what sort of plan should i follow? low fat? low calorie? low carb? i am completely lost and im unsure where to start. Any ideas? ty!

    • ANSWER:
      Agree with the other answer.

      But considering you want to lose 130lbs I'm going to say a low carb Atkins approach. Then when your nearing your goal weight, slowly start increasing your carb intake and increase your cardio level.

  43. QUESTION:
    will somebody give me a menu for fast weight loss that works?
    please i am sick of being over weight i really need help! with the menu maybe some workout ideas with a treadmill, jump rope, and and just carpet=] thank you soooooo much=]

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at http://theweightlossplace .com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

    I relly wanna lose weight ave any of u guys got any good tips that can help me lose weight quicker cuz my plan isnt workin
    Thnx
    xx

    • ANSWER:
      Well first off eat well. You don't have to go on a stupid diet just stay healthy! Don't drink soda or anything.
      Then do lots of cardio because that is was burns the fat and burns it faster. Plus if you do it in the morning your metabolism will work better throughout the day.
      Then do lots of strength training the more muscle you have the more calories you burn just being alive. I thinks its called you resting metabolic rate. I would recommend working out 5 days a week. at least for 30 mins. and just stick with it because the more you do it the more you'll love it and feel better about everything. It'll make you happy and have tons of energy. :)
      Anymore questions just ask me :)

    Is using hydroxcut hardcore (or any type) worth using for fast weight loss results?
    I haven't used any type of hydroxycut myself but I've known people who have and got mixed reviews. I've heard it just kills your appetite.. I was planning to use it but was a bit skeptical about it. Anyone used it before? any results? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I used hydroxycut back when it had ephedrine in it, and it worked like a charm. I've kept most of the weight off (almost 60 pounds) for over 10 years with continued diet and exercise.

      Supplements no longer work for me because I took them for an extended period of time, but if you're looking for a quick jolt to your diet and can commit to a lifetime of diet and exercise, go for it.

    • ANSWER:
      You need to combine exercise with a healthy diet. You have 3 full meals, but how big are they?

      I would recommend tracking your calories - sometimes it can be a real eye-opener!

      I use www.thedailyplate.com, but there's also www.fitday.com, www.sparkpeople.com, etc. They're all free.

      The Daily Plate one will give you calorie goals for each day to lose 1 - 2 pounds a week. Unfortunately 2 pounds a week is the max you should lose if you do it in a healthy way.

      Don't hate yourself, just find the motivation to lose weight and you'll be fine. Just remember it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change!

      EDIT - and please don't listen to the spammers with their cleanses and miracle pills. They don't work for in the long-run and can cause more harm than good.
