Fastest Way To Lose Weight

There are six things to do that are the fastest ways to lose weight. These six are good for you and will help you lose weight and keep it off. Rather than give a long introduction, I’ll jump right in because I know you are curious.

Step One: Drink a lot of water. Water is probably the single most important thing to help you lose weight and keep it off. It works as an appetite suppressant if you drink a glass before you eat and it helps you stay hydrated. Dehydration leads to cravings and water retention. Water also helps your kidneys flush out the toxins needed for a healthier body.

Step Two: Eat regularly. Five small meals a day is better than three large ones. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You are refueling your body after resting. You wouldn’t go eight to ten hours during the day without eating, so make sure you give your body the fuel it needs to get going.

Step Three: Eat a lot of fiber. Fiber helps your body get rid of toxins also. Fiber helps your body by pulling fat and other waste with it on its way out. Everyone thinks of bran when they think of fiber which is bland and boring. Strawberries, applies, broccoli, and rice all contain fiber.

Step Four: Eat more fat. Really! I don’t mean eat more chocolate. Our body needs fat, but it needs good fat. Good fats help reproduction and growth as well as help hormone production that aids in regulating blood pressure.

Step Five: Eat enough protein. Fish, chicken and turkey are good sources of protein that aren’t fatty. Red meat is bad for you even though it provides protein. In addition to meats, there are a lot of vegetables that provide protein and nuts have a lot of protein as well. Protein helps maintain muscle mass and it balances out carbohydrates and helps curb sugar cravings.

Step Six: Eat carbohydrates. Again, I am serious! Carbohydrates are good for you, no matter what you have read. Our body uses carbs the same it uses protein, as energy. All carbs are not created equal though and a good rule of thumb when eating carbs is eat carbs that “from the earth.” In other words, whole grains.

These six steps to fastest ways to lose weight not only work, they are a healthy way to drop those pounds. Along with proper exercise, you can increase your metabolism to an extreme level.

Additionally, motivation is something that you must have during your weight loss process. Without proper motivation, you will end up like the millions and millions of others who try to lose weight every year, but fail after one or two weeks. I can promise you that once you see your first results, you will be dedicated and want to lose more and more.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that you will find your weight loss goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What is the ABSOLUTE fastest way to lose weight?
    Okay i know fast diets are unhealthy but i am willing to go through GREAT lengths lose weight. I just need an answer. Pleeassee dont nag me about how bad it is to lose weight fast but i need the fastest way ever to lose weight. PLEAASE HEELPPP !!!!
    thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      1 Dietary Balance and reading labels: watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. This involves some calculation. Eat less and eat at least five meals a day. Your actual caloric requirement can differ depending on your height, weight, activity level and your body's metabolic rate.

      2 Identify your exercise. No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationary. Find the one that works best for you. Don’t pick a routine that you don’t like and won’t stick with it for long.

      3 Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. Of course I can’t go into a full lecture about yoga over here but I can tell you that I have never seen people with better-toned bodies than those who practice yoga. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control virtually every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will cease to exist.

      4 Photos and Joining online support group : Take before and after photos. There’s no easier way to illustrate your progress. It’s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends helps as they know things that you couldn’t possibly know, and they’ve probably been “in your shoes” at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find one that fits you.

      5 Water you waiting for If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation – quench it. If you’re not hydrated, your body won’t be working at peak levels. If you’re worried about “water weight,” remember that you’re likely to retain more water when you’re not giving your body enough of it in the first place. I’m not going to dictate how many glasses you should drink, though – as that’s going to vary from person to person.

      6 Zone out. There’s a reason why people exercise to their favorite music – listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity making “exercise time” fly or situate yourself in front of TV or video games involving exercises.

      7 Dance Out Do Salsa,tango, swing ,hip-hop dancing etc. Anyone can do it,keep in mind you are dancing to increase your physical activity, so there is no pressure on how well you perform dance. Who knows you might even learn a cool dance move or two

      8 Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, If you think that you’re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you’re mistaken. Give your body time to rest itself, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very, very important.

      9 Keep a food diary. All you have to do is jot down what, when, and how much you eat in a notebook, or you can do it online at a Web site . A food diary gives a clear picture of your current eating habits so you can identify the changes you need to make to lose weight.

      10 Be motivated.You need to believe in yourself!. Learn to evaluate your efforts fairly and objectively. When you have thought of giving up, visualize how good you will look when you manage to slim down successfully.

  3. QUESTION:
    whats the fastest way to lose weight?
    k so cut the unhealthy to lose weight fast, you should do a healthy diet, excersize crap. i just wanna know whats the FASTEST way to drop weight. i dont care the extremes, like starving yourself whatever, i just wanna know. k thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      I have been on a extreme diet lately that has caused me to loose around 40 pounds in just a month and a bit. It is very drastic but it works and as long as you have the willpower then I think that it'd be a good way for you to see results.

      Basically I have been on a non-existant carbohydrate diet. This means I have cut out all breads (this includes brown bread), all pasta, all rice and potatoes. Instead of having cereal for breakfast I will normally have two rice cakes with some tinned tomatos! Either that or fruit salad with a few table spoons of low fat yoghurt.

      Cutting out the carbs really had such a great effect, I stuck to salads and stir frys instead of sandwich's and pasta. The weight will literally fall off of you however sometimes you tend to become grumpy and slighty tired. It is worth it though if you are looking for fast results. It's encouraging as you can see it really working.

      Also, I combined this with a low fat diet. No cookies, cakes, crisps, sweets or chocolate (a few squares of dark chocolate every other day doesn't do any harm!). This means I also limit my intake of cheese and milk and have yoghurt as a treat. It works wonders and it is quick, if you have cravings then snack on fruit of nuts, which are packed full of good fat and keep your blood sugar levels high which keeps your metabolism up.

      Eat protein as it increases muscle mass which speeds up your metabolism, so does chillis and green tea. Try and have a glass a day!
      Combine this diet with 30 minutes of exercise a day (I like swimming as it tones as well as burns fat) then you will see really fast results.

      Allow yourself a treat from time to time to keep yourself motivated and remember your goal.

  5. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest way to lose weight?
    I'm looking for diets or any way to lose weight fast. (in a 1 month time period)

    • ANSWER:
      Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

      Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

      Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

      Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

      In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

      Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

      Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

      Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

      Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

      Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.

      An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

      Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.

    • ANSWER:
      White bread can’t jump. Did you know that white bread isn’t good for you? Oh, it’s true – just ask any diabetic. Research has shown that people who eat more refined products (like white bread) are more likely to have belly fat. Why? It’s simple: your body isn’t getting what it needs. The food industry isn’t the health industry, okay? You can’t trust that they’ve got your best interests at heart (despite all their marketing efforts). If you want the flavor of white bread, please eat the whole grain white bread instead? Sara lee makes a wonderful loaf, as I can personally attest (even though I like rye more than white or wheat). Repeat after me: whole grain white bread, whole grain white bread.

      Joel Fuhrman is a former world class figure skater and was a member of the United States International and World Figure Skating Team. In 1973, he won Second Place in the United States National Pairs Championships. In the World Professional Pairs Skating Championships in Jaca, Spain in 1976, he placed third. His dedication to sports medicine, health and fitness, and preventive care and medicine speak to these lifelong interests.

  12. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way to lose weight//fat ?
    im not asking this to lose weight ..
    this is for science. i mean, seriously, .. regardless the outcomes, how do u lose fat/weight fast? which one is faster, starvation or the old-fashion way?

    • ANSWER:
      You will not starve. You will not instantly become thin. Fasting is consuming only liquids. When the body does not have to deal with digesting solid food and getting rid of the waste that solid food creates, it can concentrate on getting rid of toxins. The most common reason to fast is to eliminate disease or from the body.

      How much weight will I lose?

      The main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace.

      Initially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss.

      Try to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing.

      Fasting And Metabolism

      The fear is that while fasting, the metabolism will slow down and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast. Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will eat less and feel more energetic.

      After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security blanket.

      The greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber, more-filling foods.

      Oh, by the way, a slower metabolism diminishes aging. A tortoise can live to 400 hundred years of age.

  13. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest way to lose weight without starving myself ?
    I need to lose weight fast and am willing to do almost anything. I know starving myself is not healthy, so I do not want to go that route but any suggestions would be appreicated.

    • ANSWER:
      Liposuction!

      No, seriously now. =] Change things in your life and you can easily drop a few, and a few more, and a few more.. Until you're satisfied with your weight.

      Stop eating fast food, it disrupts weight loss completely. You don't need to cut it out completely, just look online at your favourite fast food restaurant's websites at the nutrition information. Nearly all of them have it.
      Salads are a good fast food choice, but with grilled chicken on top (if its chicken) and always look at the dressing packets. Ask for light or fat-free dressings with salads. Most of those little packets are 150 calories or less.

      Next, cut out badbadbad carbs such as crackers, white bread, pasta, etc. Go for whole wheat/whole grain bread.

      Cheese is another thing that disrupts diets. Unless you eat a very small amount or maybe part-skim if you can get it. Peanut butter is another thing you need to eat in smaller amounts. Maybe a tablespoon at a time? Spread on a stick of celery or for a sandwich on wholegrain bread.

      SODA. SODA. Badbad! It's amazing how many calories you can down from one soda can. Maybe diet soda? Coke zero tastes nearly exactly like regular soda with about 2 calories a can. Just don't drink a lot, it's still bad.

      Drink water! It keeps you dehydrated, and full. Most people are just thirsty when they think they're hungry, which is why they overeat. Eight 8oz glasses of water is what you should get in a day.

      Measure things out. You can completely get 10x more calories in by simply eyeballing it.

      Read packages. You don't need to cut out your favourite foods completely. For example, a Chips Ahoy cookie only has 80 calories. Sure, an slightly high amount of fat but it's a cookie. Eating two of those wouldn't kill you.

      And the most important thing.. WATER! Drink water. Water can keep you full, and even if you're just having a small snack having some water with it will make it feel more like a big meal in your stomach.

      Good luck! And I'm so glad to see someone tonight who /states/ they don't want to starve themselves. That's good. Very good.

  16. QUESTION:
    Fastest way to lose the most amount of weight?
    I'm 5'1" and 137 pounds. My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds in by the end of July. I already lost 10 pounds by eating right (low carb, veggies, fruits, only water, grilled food no fast food) but dieting alone isn't working anymore.

    I work and take summer classes so I can't really workout that much. What is the fastest way to lose weight? Are there certain foods that will help me lose fat? I know I should exercise but I have trouble breathing when I run. Any exercise suggestions would be great! I want to lose weight from my stomach since I've lost the pounds from pretty much everywhere else except there.

    • ANSWER:
      You can eat one less meal a day. Try to eat a big breakfast that can carry you through the day...then in the evening you can eat a light soup that fills you up. If you have trouble breathing when running its probably because your breathing the wrong way...breath through your nose and out of your mouth. If that does not work just slow down your pace. GOOD LUCK!

  19. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest possible way to lose weight?
    Disclaimer: This is for research I'm doing on nutrition and weight loss, so don't worry. I'm a healthy person at a good weight.

    Now, what would be the fastest way to lose weight? I'm talking like REALLY fast, without taking health into account. Would someone just stop eating altogether? What do anorexic people do to lose like 40 pounds in a month?

    Again, save me the disclaimers, please. I know already. I'm not looking for advice or something crazy. Just research.

    • ANSWER:
      God gave us teeth for a reason... Therefore we should develop a habit of chewing all food including liquid food and soft foods like sweets, ice creams at least 8 to 12 times. This is essential to add saliva to the food, as it is only in the saliva that sugar is digested. Often we find that whatever goes into our mouth goes down like lightning. We hardly give the saliva any time to act on the food. So does digestion take place like it should’ Do we just stuff our tummies with food that doesn’t get digested or in other words that doesn’t yield the benefits that it should’

    What is the best, fastest, easiest way to lose weight?
    I'm a girl...All my life I have been overweight and I've decided that I'm tired of it. I want to lose weight but I don't know what exercises are best.

You could write a weekly exercise plan for me or just give me a few tips. Please Help!

    • ANSWER:
      My girl-friend has had a horrible past with this stuff. She's actually doing very well now, losing weight and exercising. All you need to do is eat a smaller amount of food than you do on a regular basis. No extreme dieting, nothing crazy. Just cut down on every meal you have. Try not to have so much bread, milk or even so many fruits. Remember all those calories/carbohydrates add up. Start having a yogurt for breakfast with a banana. For lunch make yourself a Tuna sandwich with Wheat Bread. For dinner, don't eat any FULL sized meals with rice. Rice takes so long to digest and it's a carb-bomb. Try selecting chicken & salad and other lower carb replacements. Remember, your body needs to break down the food you eat and then break down your fat in the body. Go on the treadmill for 45 mins a day, 4 times a week (NO MORE). If you don't own a treadmill join a gym. If you don't have money for a GYM, then simply go for a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Remember to take vitamins and starving yourself is the WORST thing anyone can possibly do to their body.

  24. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest way to lose weight with the Tower 200?
    I just got the Tower 200 Body By Jake, and I want to know the fastest way to lose weight with the machine.

    • ANSWER:
      If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you'll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn).

      Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. Use a calorie calculator - http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don't think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week.

      Don't make all of these changes at once or you won't be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you'll see that healthy foods are lower in calories. You can find some more information at the Straight Health Forums - http://forums.straighthealth.com

    • ANSWER:
      Try adding "calorie burning" activities to your daily routine. Simple ones might not need that much extra time but if you then keep at it they will add up.
      Maybe when you get home,,. instead of walking in just go round the block once. Or take the stairs instead of that elevator. Once a week, skip dinner but have a piece of celery instead. Whatever you do, stick to it, then when it has become routine, add more.

    I'm tired of my weight, & being unhealthy . I will do whatever it takes to lose some weight fast, anything will help! Thank you in advance

    • ANSWER:
      any weight loss method which is either fast or easy is ineffective or unhealthy.
      weight loss is calories in versus calories out. find your BMR and eat the precise amount and then exercise for half an hour/ hour on top of that. drink water and eat regular small meals. DON"T avoid eating ANY particular food. still eat good fats, carbs and protein. eat A LOT of veggies, and some fruit. that's not easy or fast but it's much ,much much more effective and sustainable than any crash diet which lead to you gaining all the weight back on...

  31. QUESTION:
    What would be the fastest way to lose weight?
    Im 5 foot and Im not really fat, but I can lose more weight.
    What would be the fastest way?

    • ANSWER:
      Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

      Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

      Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

      Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

      In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

      Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

      Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

      Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

      Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

      Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.

      An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

      Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

      That's a long time away! Just eat healthy: small meals like 5 or 6 throughout the day. Skip chips and eat more fruits and veggies. Start speed-walking or jogging and doing pilates or yoga. Remember that weight isn't as important as level of fitness because muscle weighs more than fat!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      I have the proper solution for your specific case, read on.

      Everybody wants to look their best and what better way than to go on a lose weight. Losing weight can be a boring experience but it is important to avoid boredom at all costs. That way you stay focused. The other important thing is to have the drive to lose weight. Go ahead and find something that will motivate you. Visualize yourself succeeding and then actually take action. It is that easy.

      So in order to lose weight and look great you need to diet correctly. Do this by eating healthier foods. You may want to cut back your calorie intake but not to the point where you feel out of energy and hungry all the time. To avoid hunger you should eat frequently so that you stay satisfied all day. This technique also boosts your metabolism so that you burn more fat and feel better. Eat clean foods that are not high in fat and sugar. Consume foods like fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, and lean meats.

      Start a work out program so that you burn more calories. Try to get at least twenty minutes of exercising in each day. You can also take a day off each week. I find it is easier to Work out during the week days and then take the weekend off. Just start working out slowly and then progress. Once you get in shape it will be much easier to burn off more calories. Dieting to lose weight does not have to be a boring task.

      All the best, and do let us know how it goes!

  39. QUESTION:
    what is the FASTEST way to lose weight in 20 days?
    i want to lose 25-30 pounds in about 20 days. i don't want to take those supplements (however you spell it) . is there special techniques i should start doing everyday to lose weight fast?

    • ANSWER:
      First off the only way to lose that amount of weight in such a short period of time is to starve yourself. so now that we've got that out of the way lets get down to business.
      1. replace all of your drinks with water if you want to you can add those crystal light packets to make it taste better, only buy the lemonade packs though all the other flavors taste like crap.
      2. Breakfast- piece of fruit and a granola bar (250 calories)
      3. Lunch- pack of crackers and a piece of fruit (260 calories)
      4. Dinner- healthy choice tv dinner (around 300 calories)
      Total calories 810
      due to the fact that you're probably taking in 3000+ calories a day now this should get the weight off in a quick amount of time.
      Word of warning though as soon as you increase your eating back to regular you will gain it all back. Even if you only increase your portions to healthy levels you will gain some weight temporarily until your body becomes accustomed to the diet.
      This diet is not for long term use you will only hurt yourself, but it does take the weight off quickly.

    • ANSWER:
      Here are some tips to help you lose weight:

      Diet:

      As I am sure you know already, cut down on all fatty foods, drink 8 glasses of water per day, eat 5 fruit/veg per day and choose low fat options.

      You could try joining a club such as weight watchers as this will give you lots of diet plans and help you to stay motivated.

      Exercise! :

      You should 'exercise' for a full twenty minutes at a time, five days per week to stay at a healthy weight.

      Remember, don't over-do it and certainly don't try to lose weight too quickly. The more quickly you do it, the more quickly you put it back on. Also, it's not good for you to just 'suddenly' start exercising vigorously. Do it slowly and that way you will be able to keep it up and not put the weight back on.

      The best exercise for burning calories is cardio-aerobic. Jogging, cycling, poer-walking, swimming, aerobic dancing or general aerobic workouts. However, strength-training is also important to increase muscle-fat ratio.

      Exercise does burn calories but it takes a while to lose 1 pound of weight! However, exercise is essential to maintain weight loss and maintain your body at peak efficiency.

  41. QUESTION:
    Whats the fastest and easyest way to lose weight?
    Wats the fastest way to lose weight without having to order anything or spend money.

    • ANSWER:
      1. Eat about 6 small complete meals throughout the day (fish, almonds, walnuts, and lean proteins in general, plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, and complex multigrain carbohydrates) spaced out about every 2-3 hours. Consume between 1500-2500 calories a day.
      2. Do NOT starve yourself, do NOT binge eat.
      3. Be as active as you can; nothing to do for 10 minutes? Knockout 10 elevated push-ups.
      4. Eat some spicy foods; take a decent amount of vitamin C, and drink between a half-gallon and a whole gallon of WATER a day.
      5. No more soda. Ever.
      6. If you do drink coffee, drink it black.
      7. Do at least 35 minutes of cardio straight at least once a day, at least three times a week, more if you are not trying to put on muscle.
      8. Do a large amount of full body exercises whenever possible (Jumping Jacks, Pull-ups, Chin ups, dips, squats, hanging leg raises, hanging knee raises, back raises, glute ham raises, burpees)
      9. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, but no more then 9.
      10. Avoid anything deep-fried, white bread, sprinkles, and any refined sugar.

  42. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest way to lose weight in two weeks?
    I'm 5'4 and 117 pounds. What's the fastest way to lose weight. I only want to lose 5-10 pounds. >:O Please don't say "starve yourself" or "you're stupid" ETC.

    • ANSWER:
      Below is the fastest way you can do so safely and effectively. It won't be possible to lose more than 4lbs in 2 weeks. If you do, the remainder will be water weight (which you will gain back the second you drink water) and muscle (not good!).

      To lose fat:
      1. DON’T BELIEVE THOSE FAD DIETS! DIET PILLS ARE GIMMICKS!
      2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! Unless you are 4ft tall, a 1,200 calorie a day diet is DANGEROUS and won't work in the long run.
      3. Calculate your BMR. Do a google search. A good calculator would ask for your age, height, weight, and activity level.
      4. Eat healthy and eat about 500 calories a day less than your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is how many calories you need per day to maintain your current weight.
      5. Eat 5-6 small meals a day. This keeps your metabolism up. Each meal should include fruits, veggies, water, and protein.
      5. Drink at least 64oz (8 8oz glasses) of water a day. No soda (that includes diet soda).
      6. Do light/moderate cardio 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each time. Running, bicycling, and swimming are great for this.
      7. Do some strength training to make sure you lose fat and not muscle. Don't worry; you won't look like the hulk if you lift weights.
      8. You should lose about 1-2lbs per week. If you lose more than that, chances are the rest is stool, water weight, or even muscle mass.
      9. Weigh yourself only once a week at the same time (ie every Friday morning). Your weight fluctuates a lot during any 24hour period because of water and food intake and also bowel movements.
      Be patient and be smart. If you follow this guideline you will be very happy with your results.

  43. QUESTION:
    What's the best (and fastest) way to lose weight in your tummy?
    Well, I'm pretty sure I'm an apple shape, ( sadly) , but I was wondering what is the best and/or fastest way to lose weight in your stomach.

    And I know that you'll tell me to excersice, but please put specific sports or things to do.
    Thanks! :)

    • ANSWER:
      Make sure you eat healthy and properly and in proper intervals. 3 proper meals with 3 snacks in between is perfect. Do not eat food with heavy carbs 2-3 hours before sleeping. Do NOT ever starve yourself. Your body eats up muscle if you starve yourself and preserves fat (sure you lose weight (all muscle) but not fat) and what you need to lose is fat that is on your tummy. Do crunches, but don't overdo them. It is also a muscle so do 30-40 situps/crunches every other day. But remember most important, it is the food you eat.

  44. QUESTION:
    What is the FASTEST way to lose weight?
    I need the fastest way to lose some weight, i have six weeks to do it in, it doesn't have to be the healthiest way, just the QUICKEST. I have a gym membership aswell so i can go there :) thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      Do it right.

      Every single crash diet out there will net you about 10 pounds in a week, possibly less time. It is not true wieght loss and everything you lose will quickly come back.

      Even the most unhealthy way you can think of WILL result in weight gain because you are fiddling with your bodies metabolism, but ultimately not your behaviour and thus you will gain more weight in the end.

      Best thing to do is a calorie reduced diet and exercise. If you do it this way, you will change your behaviours for the better and you will keep the weight off and ultimately remain healthy.

      Edit: If you are weight training, you will plateau at many times during fat loss. Its not a bad thing, you are losing fat and building muscle. Since muscle wieghs more than fat you may see improvement (look better, compliments, clothes fit better etc) but you won't see a change on the scale.

    What's the fastest way to lose thigh weight?
    I keep hearing eating healthy n stuff but I want literally the fastest way to lose weight of your thighs besides cutting anything off. Like exercises or something

    • ANSWER:
      For exercises:
      Cycling
      Squats

      For your diet, the absolute fastest way is obviously to not eat. However, this is REALLY bad for you! Your body will eventually begin taking energy from your muscles and organs. Its a pretty nasty way to die.

  46. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way to lose weight in 6 weeks?
    i am overweight and would just like to know the fastest way to lose weight.i go back to school in september for my senoir year and i dont want to look fat.

    • ANSWER:
      It is not recommended to lose more than 1-3 lbs a week. If you want to lose weight the correct and safe way that will stay off for the long-term you need a good exercise and nutrition plan.

      A good program looks like this:

      Always warm up and cool down

      Muscular strength & endurance-you need a good resistance training program that includes exercises for all muscle groups(hips, chest, upper and mid back, legs (quads and hamstrings), shoulders, lower back, upper arms (biceps and triceps), calves, forearms, abdomen, and the gluteus maximus).
      Your intensity should be 70-80% 1-RM or 8-12-RM, 8-12 reps, 1 or more sets, 3 times a week for 6 weeks or more. You should begin with 1 exercise for each major muscle group and make sure the days you do resistance training are not consecutive meaning you don't exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. As you continue your program you can add more exercises, add weight, and change up your program to include more days or just work specific muscle groups on specific days. As your muscles grow stronger you will be able to reduce the rest time between each set. You should rest for about 30 seconds between sets. Muscle is metabolically active and therefore when you gain muscle it burns more calories and helps to raise your metabolism.

      Cardiovascular Endurance-this is where you can burn fat the most and that leads to enhancing your muscles such as the abs. You need to include a warm-up and cool-down. I have an extensive answer on this section if you would like to read it
      http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuX3lm8.Tv.BqmVmNUvrkGDsy6IX?qid=20060712075759AAvmuOF

      Body Composition-this includes your body fat percentage, bone frame, as well as how much muscle you have. Most people focus on only weight, but you should not put as much focus on that as much as what your body fat percentage is (get it tested at an exercise facility with skinfold calipers). You should also get circumference measurements done. This includes your neck, shoulder, chest, waist, abdominal, hip (buttocks), thigh (proximal), thigh (mid), thigh (distal), knee, calf, ankle, arm (bicep), forearm, and wrist. You should be able to do this at a gym. You should get all of this information done before you start your program and then you can see how you improve.

      Flexibility- Most people do not even think about this, but it is very important because it helps to prevent injury and it helps you to perform every day activities. It also has an effect on all your other programs. You should perform 10-12 flexibility exercises every day. Slowly stretch the muscle to a point of mild discomfort but not necessarily pain. Hold stretch for 10-30 seconds, and do 3-5 reps for each stretch. This should take about 15-30 minutes per session. If you do not have time to do this every day, try to do it 2-3 times a week.

      You have to make sure that you eat right and that means following the food guide pyramid. I have another answer that discusses this

  47. QUESTION:
    Which is the fastest way to lose weight?
    I'm turning 13 and would like to be in good shape for the summer. What is the fastest way to lose weight?? What an i eat that tastes good and healthy?? I'll take any suggestions :) )

    • ANSWER:
      Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

      Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

      Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

      Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

      In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

      Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

      Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

      Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

      Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

      Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.

      An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

      Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

  48. QUESTION:
    What's the best and fastest way to lose weight?
    What is the best and fastest way to lose the most weight possible (excluding starvation) in two months? Not really just "weight", I mean fat and to tone up. I've started going to the gym but food is my biggest issue. Help....going to the beach for vacation in 2 months and want to wear my 2 piece.

    • ANSWER:
      You need to tone up(as you said). By lifting weights AND doing cardio, you'll be very trim. Here is my typical diet which is low-fat high protein...great for minimizing fat and building muscle.

      its better to eat more than less...if you dont eat your body uses its muscles for energy and you lose your muscle, therefore, burning less calories during the day. eat when your hungry and stop when your full. cut back your calories maybe a few hundred...it helps me when i write out what i eat. don't EVER be discouraged though...tell yourself well at least i feel better from working out and if you keep encouraging yourself and being positive, you will probably end up pigging out less and being healthy and losing weight. plateus happen all the time during workouts btw. you need to change the workout and confuse the body if that happens. the BEST site ever is fitnessmagazine.com. you need to make a account and they have the GREATEST workouts ever. Go to search and type in 4 wk makeover and it gives you weight trianing and cardio workouts. I did the weight training the other day and I'm sooo sore! The cardio also burns a lot.

      I'm going to tell you what I do...because that'll probably help the best. It works for me:)

      this is what I eat...and I used to hate eating veggies...but now it tastes fine. push yourself to eat more veggies and fruits, lots of protein, and low-fat foods for a week...and you'll get used to it:) nuts, olive oil and this kind of diet is key to not bloating and feeling so skinny and it eventually shows. you can eat any fruits and veggies btw. take 2-a-day multivitamins. this is just what i ate today:) email me if you have any questions.

  49. QUESTION:
    Whats the fastest way to lose weight after having a c-section 6 wks ago?
    Im a new mom and I have my graduation & prom coming up. So I need the fastest way to lose weight safely.

    • ANSWER:
      There's no safe way to lose weight this soon after csection. You're still healing from a major surgery. You can talk to the Dr about what you can do that wouldn't cause rupture, where the uterus can rip itself back open. Go to walmart, and spend on a fluctuating corset. It's not a stationary one like you'd find at Victoria's Secret. It still holds you in, while having the elasticity to expand, eliminating the chance of it hurting you. I got one after baby #3, it worked great.

    • ANSWER:
      A good balance diet and exercise is the key.

      If you belong to a local gym. Try taking some SPIN or kickboxing classes. They burn lots of calories. Also do some weights to balance the cardio workout. If you don't belong to a gym try riding a bike outdoors.

      Cheers!
