10. QUESTION:
    safe and fast weight loss?
    5-10 lbs????

    • 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).

11. QUESTION:
    How can I loss weight fast, but also in a safe way?
    I am 17 and weigh about 207 and i would like to be around 160, if any one can give me some tips about lossing weight, that would be great.

    • ANSWER:
      I have lost a total of 120 pounds so far.
      I lost 105 pounds in my first 6 months. Here is how I did it.
      1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
      2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
      3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.

      It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

      Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

    • ANSWER:
      Want to slim down fast for that beach vacation or high school reunion? While there are many things you can do to shed pounds, losing weight too quickly, like any sudden change to your body, can be dangerous. While fad diets, diet pills, and fasting may indeed induce rapid weight loss, these methods can cause you to lose muscle and may also injure your heart and other organs fairly quickly. The best solution? Don't go for an overnight miracle. Instead, follow these steps to lose fat rapidly, healthily, and sustainably.

      Steps
      Determine your daily calorie intake. Losing weight is simply a matter of expending more calories, through exercise and your daily activities, than you take in. Exercise alone won't make you lose weight if you're still taking in more calories than you burn. What's more, a healthy diet is important for overall health, so it's a good idea to take a good look at what you eat.

      Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Carry a small notebook with you and jot down every snack, every drink, and the contents of every meal. Don't forget to include the pats of butter or the spoonful of sugar in your coffee. It's best to do this for at least a couple days.
      Do an itemized calorie count. When possible, write down the number of calories in each thing you eat as you eat it. Keep in mind that the serving size on the container is often considerably smaller than the serving you actually eat. Look up the calorie count on the internet for foods that don't have calories listed on the container or for fast food meals. You don't have to be 100% accurate, but you do want a good estimate of the number of calories you're taking in.
      Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or reduce. Cutting calories is usually a lot easier than you might think. For example, that daily tall latte in the morning may pack 500 calories. Since a pound of flab (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you lose a pound a week. Other easy cuts include salad dressing--salad dressing is the number one source of fat in the average American woman's diet--soda pop, candy, and butter. Look at the nutritional information for the foods you eat, pay special attention to your intake of saturated fats and empty calories (high-sugar foods). You don't need to cut these things out entirely, but if you reduce your intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods you'll lose weight fast. Click here to learn exactly how much food you can eat to safely lose body fat
      Seek out alternatives to the unhealthy foods you've identified. You can simply reduce the amount of soda you drink or mayonnaise you put on your sandwiches, or you can substitute healthier choices. Drink water instead of soda, for example, or use mustard instead of mayo. Low-fat and low-calorie options are also available for most foods, and many of these are natural (some are made with strange chemicals) and tasty.

      Choose lean meats. Chicken and fish are both very low in fat (and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent source of antioxidants which is also beneficial to your health), so aim to replace some or all of the beef or pork in your diet with these foods.
      Replace high-calorie side dishes with healthier alternatives. Many people get a ton of calories from side dishes such as macaroni and cheese, french fries, or potato salad. You can eat healthier and lose weight by replacing these with vegetables and salads. Pre-made salads are practically effortless, and when accompanied by a reduced-calorie dressing or no dressing at all, they're weight-loss gold.
      Start your days off right. A fattening breakfast of bacon and eggs or a pastry can be replaced with yogurt, oatmeal, high-fiber, low-sugar cereals; or fresh fruit or fruit smoothies.
      Plan your meals. Look for healthy, delicious meals online or in your cookbooks, and create a menu for the week. Make sure that your meal plan reduces your total calorie intake: you're not going to lose weight if you consume the same amount of calories by eating different foods. Make a list of what you'll need for these meals, and--except for a few snacks, of course--don't stray from your list when you get to the market. Planning your meals helps ensure you get a balanced diet and reduces the temptation to stop off for fast food or order a pizza. Remember, it's easier to stick to your shopping list if you shop when you aren't hungry.
      Watch your portion sizes. Opening a bag of rice cakes and eating all of them in one sitting isn't going to help you lose weight. When eating chips, nuts, or dried fruit put a portion in a small bowl and then put the bag away. That way you won't mindlessly eat a larger portion than you intended.
      Graze on healthy snacks. Just because you're getting healthy doesn't mean you can't snack. In fact, eating small meals and snacks throughout the day (grazing) has been shown to aid weight loss (compared to eating three large meals) by keeping metabolism steadier. Pick snacks that are low in calories and fat and high in fiber (dried apricots, nuts, rice cakes, fruits, baby carrots, baby tomatoes, and so on). Vegetables are generally very low in calories, very high in fiber, and full of flavor and nutrition. Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes, and try to eat vegetables plain, without fatty dressings or dips. Fruit also makes a good snack. Fruit contains more soluble fiber than vegetables, which slows your body's absorption of carbohydrates, thus releasing energy slower (preventing sugar highs) and keeping you full longer. Fruit juices are okay, but are not a replacement for the real thing. You need that fiber, and juices often have more calories than the equivalent serving of fruit--as many calories as soda! Be careful with dried fruits, because without the water, you tend to eat more, and fruits--when dried--are calorie-rich per ounce.
      Get more fiber. There are many myths about fiber, but there is science to back up its helpful role in the diet. Fiber keeps the right amount of water in your intestines, making your digestive system work more efficiently and helping to keep you regular. Thus, just eating enough fiber may help you feel slimmer in just a day or so. There is also evidence that fiber in the diet can help prevent stroke and heart disease, ease the effects of diabetes, and may even directly help in weight loss.
      Drink plenty of water. Adequate water is essential for health, and a great many people simply don't get enough. What's more, if you're chronically dehydrated, your body will retain water in unflattering places, so if you make sure to get plenty of fluids you can start visibly trimming down in as little as a day. Remember, the more you exercise, the more water you'll need. See the related wikiHow for more details on how much water you should be getting.
      Exercise. Remember, you can lose weight either by decreasing your calorie intake or increasing the number of calories you burn. Any health strategy should include both, but if you want to lose weight fast, exercise is essential. Click here to see how much weight you can lose doing various activities
      Perform high-level aerobic activities. Moderate aerobic workouts incorporating jogging, brisk walking, cycling, or aerobic machines or classes not only burn calories--they also keep your heart healthy. Swimming is also great, especially if you are quite overweight or have joint problems, because you can get the same benefits of running--typically burning even more calories--without health problems. Try to get at least 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three or four days per week.
      Pump some iron. Resistance training (weight training) can help both sexes stay lean by building muscle and raising metabolism. The fact is, hours and hours of aerobic exercise won't help most people lose weight fast because your metabolism drops back to normal fairly quickly after stopping the exercise. If you gain muscle, however, your body's resting metabolism (the amount of calories you burn when you're just sitting still) increases, because muscle requires a lot of calories to maintain. Studies have shown consistent weight training to raise the body's metabolism by 15%. This means an average woman might burn 200-300 more calories at rest every day! Resistance training, then, is the gift that keeps on giving.
      Rest properly. This means not only taking at least 24-48 hours between strength training the same muscles (and taking 1-2 days off from exercising each week); it also means getting enough sleep at night, since sleep deficiency impairs your ability to lose fat.
      Be realistic. Don't expect a miracle. Healthy weight loss can be achieved fairly quickly, but you'll need to be patient. In addition, be sure to set realistic goals. Make sure that the weight you're trying to reach is a healthy weight for you, and understand that gaining pounds of muscle will help you lose fat and be trimmer without actually losing weight.
      Make adjustments. A successful weight loss strategy based on reducing calorie intake and increasing activity can be adjusted to maintain your desired weight once you reach it. Unlike dieting, this method is sustainable--it is a lifestyle change, not a binge-and-purge exercise. Slowly adjust your diet and exercise to include more weight training and calories, to where it's comfortable. If you do gain any weight back, you want that weight to be lean, toned muscle, not fat. In addition, weight training, no matter what your age, prevents muscle atrophy and can help stave off osteoporosis.

      Tips
      It's good to do a blood test before you begin your new diet and exercise regimen. Some people may not need to lose a lot of weight, but they may need to lower the blood sugar level slightly. You can also check for mineral deficiencies.
      The goal is to lose fat, not just weight in general. If you are doing strength training during your weight loss (which you should be), you might actually see an initial gain in weight -- don't worry! You have probably lost fat and gained muscle, which is denser than fat.
      A better measurement than what a scale reads is body fat percent. If you don't have access to calipers or a body fat scale, a better gauge is how your clothes fit and how you look rather than your absolute weight. If you can, though, it is good to measure your body fat about once per month. Men should be between 15%-25%, but no lower than 4%; and women 20%-30%, but no lower than 15%. Females have higher fat percentage due to pregnancy and menstrual requirements.
      Generally, you want to - with a combination of calorie reduction and increased activity - reduce and burn a certain number of calories a day, causing a net loss of calories so your body is forced to use its own stores of fat. How much aerobic exercise you need to perform depends on what you eat, how fast you'd like to lose weight, and how much muscle you gain. A pound of fat contains 3500 calories. Men can safely lose around two pounds a week, and women can safely lose around one pound a week. Any more than this and you might be losing more muscle mass than fat. Thus, with a combination of calorie restriction and aerobic exercise, a man should aim to run a 3500-7000 calorie deficit each week, and women should aim for a 1750-3500 calorie deficit.
      With regard to weights, men and women differ on their goals with weight training. Women, don't worry, no amount of weight training will make you as bulky as a man; women just don't have enough testosterone to build large muscles. The female bodybuilders you see are either taking steroids or training 2-3 hours every day. Male and female beginners should start with 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions, and should use the heaviest weight you can while still maintaining good form, even to the last repetition of the last set. Get a weight training book or find a reputable website that will show you different exercises and the correct form. When lifting properly, you will stretch the muscle during the exercise, but you should still stretch properly to prevent injury!
      Don't try to spot-improve, because your body loses fat from all over, no matter what the exercise. No amount of crunches will get rid of that gut if they are not backed up by proper aerobic exercise and diet! Washboard abs do not come from millions of sit ups; they come from having low levels of body fat, so if that is your goal, make sure you do plenty of aerobic exercise in addition to your ab routine.
      Sugar comes in many disguises. Check your food labels: fructose, glucose, molasses, and corn syrup are all sugars. Limit all sugars, but especially stay away from high-fructose corn syrup. It is just a corn syrup full of sugar. Choosing foods without it will help you reach your weight loss goals faster.
      Remember your body needs 'fuel' just like a car needs 'fuel'. Your body needs the 'right' kinds of food to lose weight effectively.
      Despite popular belief it is not terrible to eat after 6 p.m. A reasonable dinner (with extra protein if you've had a good weight training session) is going to help deliver nutrients to the body to prepare it for the next day. Additionally if you find yourself very hungry before bed, a small bowl of high fiber cereal and low fat milk will actually help maintain your metabolism while you sleep. The key is to not overeat in the evenings.
      Take a multivitamin. While it is better to always get your nutrients from your food, most people miss something in their diet, especially when they're trying to cut calories. There are many vitamins and minerals that play important roles in keeping the body chemistry balanced energy levels healthy.
      If you find yourself missing some of your favorite foods, don't worry. There is no harm in having your treat once a week. Pick a day each week where you treat yourself to your guilty pleasure--remember, everything in moderation. If it's pizza, try going to a gourmet pizza place that will use better ingredients and fresher vegetables. If it's a Big Mac, try making your own. A homemade burger is generally much healthier than the food they serve in fast food restaurants. Electric grills that are slanted to allow most of the fat to slide off make nice, lean burgers.
      Save some calories for potassium and protein for after you work out, this will help reduce soreness. (A banana and an egg does the trick.)
      Do not forget to stretch. Stretching can help increase your strength and flexibility.

      Warnings
      Don't try to starve yourself. In the short run, reducing your calorie intake to unhealthily low levels will slow metabolism and actually cause you to lose weight more slowly. In the long run, starving yourself (anorexia or bulimia) can kill you.
      When creating a weight lifting routine, do not focus on a single muscle or group, doing so will overbuild that muscle while under building others - in other words, if you work your biceps, and not your triceps, your arms will begin to naturally curl inward and you will look silly. If you work your chest and not your back, you will have a hard time maintaining good posture as your pectoral muscles overpower your back muscles and pull your shoulders naturally forward.
      If you have a serious medical condition (such as asthma or diabetes, or allergy to protein such as dairy products or you have lactose intolerance) or you are severely obese, consult with your doctor as well as a dietitian.
      Do not take any harmful drugs. They are unhealthy and may ultimately make you gain weight instead.
      Carefully consider whether you need dietary supplements. Most people can get the mineral and nutrients they need through eating food, For example, the multivitamin supplements can make you overdose in other vitamins you need, and you can't store most water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C as excess will be urinated. But just because you are under the recommended value don't always mean you are deficient in it. So only use supplements when the doctor and dietitian says you need to.
      Despite the title of this article, getting into shape is best done slowly, and if you find yourself losing more than a pound or 2 (or more than 500g) each week, you are probably doing something wrong. Losing weight too quickly is dangerous and can have adverse effects on your health.

      GOOD LUCK!

14. QUESTION:
    I am a 6 foot male who weigh 270. If I want to loss weight fast and safe. Would 1200 calories a day be enough?

    • ANSWER:
      1,200 calories per day is the minimum safe calorie intake per day. Anything less is likely to cause health problems.

      No matter what diet you are on you should never consume less than 1,200 calories per day to be safe.

      So the answer to your question is yes as 1,200 calories a day is enough (but only just).

15. QUESTION:
    Fast Gain, Fast Loss - Gaining/Losing Weight?
    I know that it is not good to lose more than 1-2 pounds a week for safe weight loss. I had a question though. If you gain 15 pounds in one month, is it safe to lose 15 pounds the next month?

    I am not saying either is healthy and I know that yo-yo dieting is horrible - all "tips" aside, I have heard that the main reason you should not lose weight quickly is because your body will not have time to adjust. But if you put it on super fast (which I know is unhealthy anyway), will it greatly hurt you to lose it that fast as well?

    • ANSWER:
      well usually people have a set point.... consistency is the key.... let's say your set poing is 135lbs You usually could lose 5-10lbs then go back to 135lbs in a couple of weeks, then gain 5-10lbs and then go back to 135lbs in a couple of weeks... If you excersie consistently for a long period of time, months-years.... then your set point itself will change... to let's say 110...

      My father is a nutritionist... He does not believe in "QUICK" weight loss diets... if they are not maintained for years..

16. QUESTION:
    Safe way to lose weight? Not looking for a fast weight loss?
    I am twenty-one and weigh 240 lbs. I know this is overweight and is considered obese. I want to lose the weight in a safe manner but I have no idea where to start. I used to be very active in High School but since I have graduated I have gained 65 lbs. It seems that all I do is go to college, eat, and go to sleep. Please provide some advise on where to start. Most important, I really need a support system, someone that I can call or text or im. Does anyone know where I can find this?
    Thanks for the advice everyone. I know that part of it is depression. I am married and I want to do things with my husband but because he doesn't want to do anything but work and play video games I find it hard to get motivated to get out and do anything. Plus he doesn't like for me to leave out of the house a lot. So I feel like I am in a rut.

    • ANSWER:
      The absolute best way to loose weight is slowly, without fad diets or drugs. That means changing your habits. And it doesn't take much.

      First always remember that sugar is a poison, just like tobacco is, so whenever you consume it you are shortening your life. Some times just admitting that to yourself is enough. It makes your mind control your habits instead of your appetites.

      You cannot lose weight without eating healthfully and exercising. There is no magic pill to take, or else nobody would be overweight. Also, if you lose weight quickly, your metabolism will slow down and you will gain the weight back and possibly more. A good goal is 1-2 pounds per week.

      Eat lots of fruits and veggies - the high fiber and water content will help you feel full longer. Eat whole grains. Do not drink pop/juice/kool-aid or any other high sugar drinks. Snack on fruit instead of cookies or other unhealthy foods. No fast food.

      You will have to exercise. Start with 10 or 15 minutes a day and work your way up. You could do 10 minutes in the morning, afternoon, and at night, so that you don't have to do a big chunk all at once. Ideally, you should get an hour of exercise a day. Find something you enjoy. Skating, walking in the park, jump roping, aerobic tapes, etc. You can even walk up and down the stairs.

      Humans are made to exercise. That is why there is such an epidemic of overweight/obesity today. We used to have to hunt/gather our own food, walk to the river for water, build shelters, etc. Our bodies haven't changed much since then, since it takes millions of years to evolve.

      Hope I helped, even though probably not the answer you were looking for...

19. QUESTION:
    Is it safe to use slim fast when breastfeeding? Or other weight loss food?
    I just had my second child and am wanting to lose weight. I don't have alot of free time to exercise. Also I am breastfeeding and don't want anything that will hurt my baby. Are there any quick exercises I can do at home that will get results?

    • ANSWER:
      Breast feeding alone helps you lose weight. You don't really want to try slim fast right now or any heavy exerscice program, your bodies needs alot of calories to produce breast milk. I would suggest getting a pilates video, they have ones that have 10 minutes of excercising then you can stop and continue later. Very nice for a busy mom. After you wean do the slim fast thing add some high engery cardio, and some sort of resistence training, all of this you can do at home.

      Good luck, congrats on the baby, and cheers

21. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to lose weight fast but safe?
    My husband is going to be pout of state for two months for work and I would love to drop a good amount of weight while he is gone. Does any one have a method or something they do that makes weight loss quicker that I could try? Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      The key word here needs to be 'safe'. There are ways to lose weight quickly but you want it to be safe and you want it to stay off. Honestly, the best way to do that is to lose it slower but since I perfectly understand what you are looking for and why you want to do it, my suggestion is to eat 5 times a day (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner). Keep your calorie and fat intake low (cals at 1200 a day and fat no more than 30 a day). Lots of water, as much as you can stand, and excercise you butt off...literally! I suggest walking or hitting the treadmill so you dont over do it at first. You will feel better after only a few days and that in itself will help to motivate you to keeping to it.
      Good luck.

22. QUESTION:
    Fast weight loss is not fast?
    Sorry, but this is not really a question. I see so many posts here about ways to lose weight fast. It is not safe to lose weight fast. Losing one, maybe two pounds a week is safe and effective, meaning a weight loss plan that will keep the weight off. Exercise and a reasonable diet that minimizes extra portions. Don't be afraid to push yourself a bit on the exercise, especially if you are in your teens or 20's.
    I wish I could copy and paste this answer/question into about 100 of the "how can I lose weight quickly?" posts.

    • ANSWER:
      The best thing is to start your own blog, post your ideas on the subject and invite views for discussion.
      You should be scientific regarding your views and suggestions. You may even make use of your own experience and that of your friends.
      This will really be interesting.

23. QUESTION:
    For Manila folks, what's the fastest, safest diet - slimming - weight loss pill you can recommend?
    I'm a little overweight and I'd like to be able to lose some weight fast. I have crazy work schedules and is unable to go to the gym or exercise at home, so I'd like to get some weight loss help this way.

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Here's a real answer: take Ballet Dancer. It works, take two in the morning after breakfast and that's it for the whole day. Drink lots of water along with it. No need to go to the gym, it lessens your appetite dramatically (but I have a feeling you've already heard about this considering you're living in the Philippines.)

24. QUESTION:
    Is there a perfect weight loss solution?
    With all the advanced scientific research, has human not yet found a fast, easy, and safe weight loss solution?

    • ANSWER:
      Humans were never meant to eat the fatty processed rubbish that we idiots have developed. We were never meant to travel by car everywhere.
      We were our own downfall thinking that convenience was a good thing for us all and now we wonder why we struggle to keep weight off.
      I am not a thin person preaching. I need to lose quite a lot of weight. I am watching calories and making sure the food I put into my mouth is quality and healthy and it's working.
      I am exercising because I know this is what our bodies were designed to do and because I drive to work, I have to spend time after work undoing the damage done during the day by sitting on my backside.
      I know I would rather live for a long time as a healthy person, than trying to find a miracle cure or tablet, or starving myself or purging, just to be skinny.

25. 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!

26. QUESTION:
    are there any safe weight loss supplement that actually work for teens?
    i'm 19 and i want to lose about 20 or 30 pounds. i exercise and eat well but im just not losing the weight. does anyone know of any weight loss supplement that actually works? (i don't want slim fast)

    • ANSWER:
      I'm sorry, there's really no such thing as a safe diet pill. They almost all contain stimulants that can damage the cardiovascular system, and then there's Alli, which can give you explosive diarrhea, so I don't think you want that pill either.

      Diet and exercise should work perfectly fine. I think you're probably either not giving it enough time (you should give it at least a month before you decide you're not seeing results), or you aren't dieting or exercising right.

      As for your diet, you should be eating high protein, high fat (saturated not trans, and no that's not unhealthy), low carb, low sugar. Keep your calorie intake around 1500 a day, carbs around 100-150 g a day, and as little added sugar as you can manage. Make sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies too.

      And you need to push yourself when you exercise. A nice easy pace won't do anything. You have to get sweaty, tired, and work hard. If you don't feel tired when you're done, if you're not out of breath, you're not doing it right. And you need to do both cardio and weight training, but on different days. Try and work out for at least an hour, 4-6 days a week.

    How do I lose weight fast?
    Please don't tell me to go see my doctor or eat a healthy diet. I need to lose weight and fast!!!
    I have a wedding lined up that I have to fit into a size 10 dress which fit perfectly last fall, but I eat when I am stressed and since getting fitted I've been stressed enough to balloon up to an 18.
    The seamstress says I need to lose 40 lbs - in 3 weeks - or shell out another 0 for a dress I hate anyway. I want to lose weight and know if I get down to a size I don't feel so miserable with I'll start going to the gym again and keep the weight off.
    I do not want to do anything surgical or dangerous like weight loss drugs that damage your heart but will change type and proportions of what I eat, how often I eat, exercise, safe weight loss products, etc.
    Thank you!!

    • ANSWER:
      Get a personal trainer! I've only been working four days and I've lost six pounds! Drink lots and lots of water! No pop, tea, just WATER! two proteins a day three veggies and two fruits, one starch, three carbs, one fat. WORKS I SWEAR! my mom has been on for six days with this and has lost seven pounds...without exercise...so with exercises you could be up to maybe 10 a week....and if you really kick your butt then you could lose your 40...if you can't get it all off then you could always use a corset. There is also a treatment called Lipodissolve...it's not a surgery. Medical spa's offer it...i don't know if you you're willing to shell out the money but it's better than having to get a new dress! Good luck and i bet with hard work you can do this!

32. QUESTION:
    Is there a safe weight loss pill?
    I am wanting to loss weight before my husband comes back from his deployment. I have been working out almost everyday now for about 2 months and eating healthy and nothing has changed, I have not lost any weight, and haven't dropped any sizes. My mother suggested a weight loss pill. Does anyone know if a healthy weight loss pill that actaully works, and you will see results pretty fast?

    • ANSWER:
      Many people eat 'healthy foods', but still in the wrong quantities. I know it's a pain to do, but counting calories really makes it painfully obvious where you're getting those extra calories that you don't need from which are preventing you from losing weight.

      Write down everything you eat every day. Make sure you measure out portions sizes with a small scale or measuring cups and spoons - most people overestimate by 30% or more, so don't guess. Aim to eat no fewer than 1200 and no more than 1500 calories each day.

      Also make sure you're getting the correct balance of foods - most people over do the grains (you only need 6 servings a day, and when an average bagel contains 3-4 servings these days it's really easy to see how people over do it. Pasta is another one that fools so many - a 'serving' of pasta is just 1/2 cup. Most people sit down to 1.5-2 cups at dinner). Most people also under do it when it comes to veggies - we're supposed to be getting about 2.5 cups of veggies and 1.5 cups of fruit a day, which is a lot more than the average person does.

      Also watch your juice intake (1/3 cup of apple juice is a serving size equivalent to a whole apple, but most people drink a huge glass because it's a 'healthy' food), and if you're eating any meal replacement, or quasi-healthy bars make sure you read the calorie content carefully. You're much better to have a salad with chicken on it than these bars.

      Plan ahead and have small snacks between meals (counting the calories of course), to keep hunger at bay.

      If you dine out, look up the nutritional information for the restaurant ahead of time to pick something healthier to eat. You'll also find that most restaurants are serving enough for a full 2-3 people on every plate these days which is part of the reason as a society we've forgotten what a proper serving looks like.

      Keeping your calories low does work pretty fast. I managed to lose just 16lbs over several months before starting with a dietitian. What I described to you above is what she's been teaching me to do - and I've now lost just a little over 2lbs a week for just over 4 months now.

      Diet pills don't fix the problem - even if they cause you to lose a little bit of weight, even if they were safe, they'd still don't teach you really how to eat properly and in the correct portion sizes. At best, they buy you some time, but time and not knowing how to eat properly will catch up with you and the weight will come right back on when you stop taking the pills.

33. QUESTION:
    fast weight loss?
    ok, my brother weights 235 pounds and hes 16....hes a pre-diabetic, and overweight.his doctor wants him to be at about 185-190 pounds by the next time i take him in to see her(in july). he tries to work out everyday but his eating habit isn't every good,i started to give him these fiber pills-weight management. and he hasn't realy lost any weight can someone tell me a fast and safe affective way i can get him 2 lose weight fast.

    • ANSWER:
      try the low carb diet: I dropped 30 pounds in 3 months. now statistically men tend to loss weight faster than woman, i think its true. so your brother will lose more, for sure.
      How to count carbs: look at the nutrition table in the back of your product, count the carbs subtract the dietary fiber and the sugar alcohols from the original carbs of the nutrition table. (NOT the sugar, but a substitute sugar it usually says sugar alcohol.)

      Low Carb Diet:
      BE VERY STRICT FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS!
      The rules of the 14 day rapid fat loss foods:
      1. 20 grams of carbs is your limit. When only this amount of carbs goes into your body you begin to burn fat.
      2. Eat until full not stuffed.
      3. Stay only with the approved foods. DON'T cheat with just a little sugar or chocolate.
      4. Stick with pure protiens and pure fats.

      FOODS ALLOWED:
      -eggs
      -meat
      -cheese
      -vegetables:lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms, peppers, radish, spinach, avocado, zucchini, broccoli, cilantro
      -DRINKS: diet soda, tea, black coffee
      **DRINK 2 LITERS OF WATER EVERY DAY!**
      -DESERT: SUGAR FREE JELLO WITH COOL WHIP (its so delicious!)
      -use substitute sugar
      -powdered milk (for coffee) is about 1 carb per tsp.
      *****************************
      After the first 14 days(keep the count of 20 grams) one can eat SUGAR FREE everything; for example chocolate. LOW CARB bread (i suggest the SUGAR FREE whole wheat bread) and low carb tortillas, pita pockets. Peanuts are a great low carb snack. FRUITS: those that grow from a vine; for example strawberries, grapes, raspberries etc.
      *Its pretty easy after the first 14 days its like if you weren't on a diet; one can eat anything (but within the 20 gram count per day).

      Don't forget to exercise, its very important! make it habit to do exercise, at least 3 times a week. drink lots of water!

      Best of wishes to your brother, tell him to never give up! GOOD LUCK!

    • ANSWER:
      I can give you a daily routine that worked for me.

      Wake up a little earlier than usual. Spend fifteen minutes in bed listening to music and stretching - it's actually very uplifting, and it will give you enough strength to get out of bed happy.
      Take a shower if you'd like. It's helpful as well. Use fresh scents in the shower like mint or lemon to fill up your senses (especially if you're not a morning person.)
      Later, boil some water and squirt fresh lime or lemon juice in your cup. This is sort of a detox without actually detoxing. It's invigorating and cleanses your body of mucus and such. Have plain oatmeal for breakfast, with as much brown sugar as you'd like, or try some Special K instead. Vanilla Almond is delicious. With it, have half of a grapefruit and some water or V8 to drink.

      The rest is kind of tricky if you work early hours or go to school. Usually after breakfast I take a thirty minute jog or walk. You can take as long as you want, but please make it above fifteen. This boosts a sluggish metabolism and it's really the easiest and best exercise you can do for yourself. Try this everyday or every other day - but whenever you have some free time.

      Then get on with your day. If you feel a little hungry have a smoothie or a V8. Yogurt, baked crackers, lemon, grapefruit, apples and almonds are all fantastic snacks. Anything is good, really, as long as it's low in fat, carbs or calories.

      As for lunch, make yourself a light sandwich. Tomatoes, lettuce, turkey, avocado and maybe even some mayonnaise or cheese is very filling and usually what I like to eat. You can use white bread if you'd like, it really doesn't matter. Have a V8, a smoothie or something else you enjoy drinking. For the next two weeks, stay away from coffee, sodas (even diet) and fruit juice like Fruitopia and such. Make your own juice if you can. If not, just buy something organic and natural.

      Have a small snack if you're still a tad hungry.

      For dinner, have what you'd like, but keep the portions small and the food light. Cod, sweet potato, chicken breast are very good for dinner. Have a small glass of wine if you'd like to. Salad is a must - I usually like cucumbers, lettuce, lots of vinegar and some pepper - but you can pick and choose. Vinegars and liquid dressings are the best choice. Stay away from anything creamy like ranch or thousand island dressings.

      Some small exercises to do between meals are hullahooping, jumping jacks, jump rope or dancing. Sounds childish, I know, but they're actually wondrous and can help to tone your hips a little. They're fun, easy and you hardly even need to spend that much money. Sit ups and cardio are also very handy, but don't go overboard. You can do all of these while watching your favorite television show.

      End your day with a nice cup of hot green tea, and maybe that last half of grapefruit, too.

      You don't have to follow this strictly, and I know this is a little long but thank you for your patience and I hope that blouse will fit you perfectly by the seventeenth.

      Additionally, some of the weight you might be carrying can be just water weight. I heard on The John Tesh Radio Show that you should drink half your body weight in ounces.

      Example:
      Say that you weigh one hundred and sixty pounds.
      160 divided by two is 80. Therefore, you would have to drink eighty ounces of water a day. Get it? This was so absurd at first to me but it actually made a difference. Plus, the weight stays off.

      Eat pasta. Its not hard to cook - put it in boiling water for 10 minutes. lol.

42. QUESTION:
    Are Slim-Fast Optima Meal Bars safe to eat during pregnancy? I like them as a snack, never for weight loss.?

    I've heard and read that dietary products are questionable to use during pregnancy even if not being used for weight loss. Could it interact with my prenatal vitamin or other medications?

    • ANSWER:
      The key for losing weight is easy - eat less food and exercise more - the difficulties arise when we in reality try to put that into practice! There are a lot of opportunities to fail in the big wide world aren't there?! The only diet which really delivered for me was wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box underneath, they have a handful of free trials left, it was featured in Fox News and USA Today. I lost 25 pounds, it really does work!

45. QUESTION:
    Fast weight loss ideas?
    Ok, you have to be 18 to buy over-the-counter diet pills, right? So are there any other ways to see FAST weight loss results, other than by diet and exercise? (No lectures please, but the ideas/methods you give don't necessarily have to be "safe").

    • ANSWER:
      jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
      evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
      specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
      your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
      to work double on them. The best approach is this:
      1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
      weight, lower for overweight).
      2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
      3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
      an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
      stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
      for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
      that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
      will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
      body back, until it's parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
      move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
      to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
      guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat - if you have any - six
      pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
      crunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
      ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

46. QUESTION:
    Extremely fast and dramatic weight loss?
    I heard if you take two papaya tablets and two garlic tablets before breakfast, lunch, and dinner and eat lightly, you can lose a lot of weight. Is this true and safe?

    • ANSWER:
      Probably not. Any weight loss that is fast, is only temporary. When you lose weight quickly, it is because you lose water weight. What you should be trying to lose is fat, not water.

      I recommend the following:

      Make sure you eat breakfast. Skipping it only slows down your metabolism and can actually make you gain weight. You should have something good for you, like special K cereal with lowfat milk, or a banana.

      Eat a fat free yogurt 15 minutes before dinner. The yogurt helps your digestive system, is good for you and helps fill you up, so you won't eat too much at dinner.

      Salads are good, but don't load them up with junk. Stick to lettuce and tomatoes. Cheese is too fattening. If you want to have meat on the salad, make sure it is something like lean chicken (not crispy fried!). Also, use a fat free dressing. A lot of people think that just because they are eating a salad, it is good for them, but regular dressings can have as many calories as a cheeseburger!

      Also, if you want a late night snack, choose something healthy, like salsa and low-fat tortilla chips. But only eat a serving.

      The most important thing is to eat slowly. If you eat fast, you can eat too much. It takes 15 minutes for you to feel full. You could gorge yourself until you feel full, and 15 minutes later, you'll feel even worse.

      I hope this helps.

47. QUESTION:
    Will I get faster weight loss results by doing the same cardio work out twice a day and is it safe?
    Hello there,

    I am 26 years old, weigh 160 and is 4 feet 11 inches and I've been watching what I eat and drink nothing but water.

    So the past month and a 1/2 I've been exercising every morning before I get ready for work. I walk with a 10% incline (I would go higher but that's all my treadmill goes up to) with a 3.0 speed which makes me burn 330 calories. But I haven' t seen any weight loss results do to my thyroid medication which slows down my metabolism. I recently got seen for my thyroid and everything's normal so they said I can stop the medication and that I should be seeing weight lost results if I continue my exercise. Anyway, for the past couple of days I've been doing my exercise in the morning before I get ready for work and at night before bed. Will I get faster weight loss results by doing the same cardio work out twice a day and is it safe?

    • ANSWER:
      I have used a trainer for years off and on. I am always told that my routine has to be changed every 6 wks. Doing the same thing over and over nets the same results. So if you bike one morning then run in the after noon. Good luck.

48. QUESTION:
    How much weight loss is safe?
    How much weight can you SAFELY lose in a week? I'm about 5'9", and weight 260 lbs. I started exercising and I have lost a few pounds. How fast (or slow) should I be losing weight?

    • ANSWER:
      Probably at the beginning you'll lose 5 or 6 pounds a week. After a week or two, though, if you're being healthy about it most people say around 2 pounds is safe per week.

      It really all depends on your body though. If you only had extra weight on you because you ate at McDonald's every day, and then you completely stop eating bad food...you'll lose weight faster. That's easy. If you're like most of us though, and it just takes diet and exercise, expect around 3 pounds a week.

      Good luck!

50. QUESTION:
    Do you think it's safe to use weight-loss pills?
    I'm sorta over-weight, but not that much, for my height, I cannot weigh 135 lbs. And I was thinking for a faster way to have some weight-loss pills, but, I'm not that sure about it, if it's not safe for my age or something, then I'll just lose pounds naturally:)

    • ANSWER:
      People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is.
