Learn The Fast Way To Lose Weight

Lose Weight Diet

If you search online for a lose weight diet then you will find that there are plenty to be found but how do you know which actually work and which can do more harm than good. There is one simple rule when it comes to losing weight and keeping the weight off and that is to do it slowly.

If you were to suddenly cut down your intake of food drastically then you would do more harm than good. For one your body would think you were suffering through a famine, so when you do eat it will store fat and this is not what you want. The ideal way to start a diet is slowly and the same applies to starting exercise. Exercise is good for you but not if you suddenly put on running shoes and try to do a ten mile run. An exercise and diet plan needs to be started at a slow pace.

You should also be aware of any lose weight diet that severely restricts what you can and cannot eat. Different foods are essential in any diet when it comes to losing weight while remaining fit and healthy at the same time. Leaving out certain types of food as some diets dictate could mean that you lose out on essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals, which would be detrimental to your wellbeing.

The best lose weight diet would be one that follows the simple solution of reducing the amount of calories that you eat in a day while increasing exercise slowly. By doing this you will encourage your body to use the stores of fat it keeps and by doing so shed some weight. Individuals start and stop diets regularly, they lose a little weight get bored with the diet and then end up gaining more weight than they lost and so diet again. This type of dieting is called yo-yo dieting and again causes more harm than good. When attempting to lose weight and keep it off then you should think about a change of lifestyle. A good diet will ask that you lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds per week and so if you have a lot of weight to lose then it can take months or longer.

If you base your diet on losing 1 to 2 pounds per week then you need to cut 300 to 500 calories out of your diet per day. While 1 or 2 pounds does not sound like a lot, over a 12 month period you would lose 3 stone. When starting on a lose weight diet there are some steps you can take to get into it gradually. Replace fizzy drinks with plain water or fruit juice and use low fat margarine or none at all on sandwiches. If you drink tea of coffee then have one less sugar or use sweetener and drinking a glass of water before your main meal can make you feel fuller and stop you overeating. All these tips are excellent ways of getting started without actually having to make harsh changes.

    its always all about healthy lose weight diets. im too thin and would really like a bit of weight so id be comfortable in t shirts

    ty!

    • ANSWER:
      It's pretty much the same as with losing weight except you want calorie surplus, not deficit. Try to eat at least 500 calories more a day than what you require for maintenance.

      You still should eat 5-6 meals a day to maintain a proper, healthy metabolism. (You may be annoyed with your metabolism now, but trying to screw around with it could end up causing you a lot of grief later in life.)

  3. QUESTION:
    What type of diet do they put a person on when they need to lose weight to inlist in the army?
    I know to be in the army, navy, etc.. You have to meet a certain weight requirement.. And i notice the ppl that are over weight, they put them on special diet lose weight quickly.. Does anyone know what they do?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think the armed forces has a special diet per se. My husband currently serves and struggles with his weight. Most of the time he makes his weight, but when he doesn't he passes his tape. Therefore, if you do not meet the weight requirement, you may make the tape. To lose weight, they DO put them on remedial P. T. where they exercise three to four times a day. When my husband is preparing for a P.T. test, he cuts out all RED meat, eats a lot of fruits and vegetables. He also does not eat after 7:00 p.m. and runs anywhere from two to five miles a day and lifts weights. Try talking to a recruiter. They will tell you if you would make the weight and/or tape and give you guidelines to get started. Good luck to you.

  4. QUESTION:
    What is something that can help me while I work to lose weight? Diet/exercise tips? Anything!?
    I'm currently in my first week of changing my eating habits and beginning exercising to lose weight and get in shape. What is some advice or tips that can help me stay focused and dedicated? Does anyone have some tips or secrets to fight cravings? Advice on exercise? What can help me so that I can stay dedicated? Any and all advice is welcome!

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, good for you! Not many people can dedicate themselves to changing their habits. Focus on what you want, set your goals, for example: I want to be this many pounds in this amount of days. My friend keeps her weight goal all around her house until she achieves it. For food cravings, try not to even keep them in the house in the first place. Make sure you eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and most importantly WATER! Many people have a problem getting to exercise with their busy schedules, I suggest swimming since it works every muscle in your body and if you have health issues, your okay. Plus you only need to swim for about half an hour a day! You could work out in a gym if you prefer. Focus on the result, keep reminding yourself to help you stick to it. Good luck! I hope I could help!!!!

  5. QUESTION:
    How do you lose weight without diet pills or anything like that?
    Im 14 and i really wanna lose weight. Is there a way to losse weight without diet pills or anything like that. Please help. Im 14 and 212 pounds. Please help. Thank you for your time.

    • ANSWER:
      Eat healthy foods every day, but give yourself one cheat day a week where you can eat goodies. Think of what people ate before foods were preserved--so try to eat fresh, unadulterated foods like lean meats, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits, yogurt. Walk an hour a day. Buy some 5# & 10# weights and find a workout routine online or ask your gym/PE teacher for a few ideas. The biggest thing is to stay positive--you are starting early & the earlier you start, the better chance you will make fitness a way of life for you! Try to find a buddy or ask your mom to join a fitness center with you. Physical stamina = mental stamina! Stay strong & most of all: DON'T QUIT!

  7. QUESTION:
    How do I lose weight without diet pills with a heart condition?
    I have arethmia (not sure if sp. right) which is where my heart sometimes flutters and goes real fast for a few minutes. I have had 5 children and am 5'2 and 225lbs. I would like to lose weight but dont want to use pills or any weird diet fads. I am worried about my heart if I just start jogging or something. Yes I have tried eating less.

    • ANSWER:
      I have a fast heartbeat also. I suggest first you see a Cardiologist. Let them run stress tests on you first. See how your heart functions under stress. Keep in mind with a fast heartbeat that skips when you start excercising your body will probably be very receptive to the excercise, its no different than walking fast or upstairs, BUT your mental fear will make you think things are going wrong with your heart and you will drive your own heart rate up. Don't use diet fads or drugs. What I think you should do between seeing your DR and Cardiologist is change your eating habits. As Mom's we may cook things for our kids that when you are trying to lose weight work against you. So try to wean the kids off the bad foods at the same time as you. Buy more fruits, yogurts, low fat cookies, no soda, brown bread, no processed meats, cook as many of your meals from scratch as you can. Drink water with lemon until you can drink more water just plain. Don't make brownies right now or cookies or cakes. Take the kids out for Desserts so you arent tempted to eat them at home. If you have to let them eat badly just dont bring it home. Walk slow as you need to until your confidence is up. Just that you walk after dinner will actually start setting your body up for future excercise, talk your way through the excerise and say I am OK!
      Good luck

  8. QUESTION:
    Why should an obese person lose weight with diet and exercise and not weight loss surgery?
    Me and my sister are having and argument on this.

    I say it's better to lose weight on diet and exercise.
    She says get surgery because it's 'easier'.

    Who's right?

    • ANSWER:
      Surgery is costly, and has dangers of it's own, such as hospital infections(golden staph). Weight loss through exercise and diet actually changes the individual's lifestyle so that they are used to doing physical activity and eating right. This is the key, where as surgery wouldn't of changed your lifestyle choices.

    • ANSWER:

  11. QUESTION:
    Is it bad to diet/lose weight when your body is maturing and growing?
    I'm 15 years old, 5'7 and 150 pounds and I want to lose weight, 10 pounds at least but will it stunt my growth? I really want to get taller but I also want to lose weight. My parents say that dieting when you're on your stages of growing up is not really a good idea because your body will not receive enough nutrients to grow. Is it true?

    • ANSWER:
      Losing weight in a healthy way will not stunt your growth. 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.

    • ANSWER:
      Watch what you eat. Keep a watchful eye on every thing that goes in. Sometimes the garnishes can richer than the food itself. Accompaniments too can be very rich.

  16. QUESTION:
    Is weight lose diet and exercise compatible?
    I am going to be doing a medical weight loss diet that will make me loss 10 pounds in 3 days. Will it be safe to continue doing my push up training while on the diet?

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

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

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

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

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

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

  17. QUESTION:
    How can I lose weight really fast? I need to lose 20+ pounds. Workouts are what I need more than diet plans.?
    I need workouts that can help me lose weight quickly. Diets are ok, but I'm fairly young and I can't use my money on weightloss diet pills, acai berry, tea, etc etc. so can u help? I'm planning on working out every day so if you could help me out that would be great! PLZ!!!

    • ANSWER:
      EXERCISE, is key. I would start off with running/jogging every day.
      This will get your blood flowing and boost your metablolism. You will also start to feel better and want to exercise.
      Then try doing some crunches/sit ups this will help build some muscle.
      Bicycling, jump roping, and cleaning(believe it or not) also will help you lose calories.

      EATING HABITS, that's a major thing people forget about as thier livers progress. As a kid, you were able to eat fast food and chips all the time and not gain much weight. Now that you are getting older your body needs more care. Try eating lean meats or tofu, drinking lots of water, cutting out sodas (They are full of sugar that turns to fat, and no diet soda isn't okay, it's worst.), eat fruits and vegtables, and maybe try taking a multi-vitamin or something of the kind.

      SLEEP, is also a contributing factor to weight gain, when you sleep, believe it or not, you lose weight, BUT this does not mean to sleep all day long because that's bad too.

      EATING, is important, DO NOT starve yourself, it will lead to more problems and few pounds will be lost. You should eat 4-5 SMALL meals a day. This will help boost your immune system.

      SNACKING is bad, but can be good depending on what you choose.
      Pretzels, yogurt, trail mix, protien drink, smoothies, cereal, non-fat milk, fruit, vegtables, salad, and granola bars are just some of the many good snaking foods.

      BREAKFAST, is the most important meal of your day, believe it or not, it's what starts your metabolism. So, eat breakfast everyday, but make good choices. These include: low-fat milk, juice, water, eggs, lean breakfast meats, waffles (in moderation), etc.

      Hope this helps

  19. QUESTION:
    I would like to know how to lose weight through diet and exercise any tips?
    I can not run because of a knee injury but other than that I would like to know how to make a balanced diet that will help me to lose weight also exercise so I can lose body fat as well.

    • ANSWER:
      Well firstly, you need to be eating a healthy balanced, low fat diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

      Eat lean meats (no fat on), poultry (no skin on), fish with scales on (not in batter or breadcrumbs), eggs, fresh fruit, vegetables, beans & pulses, low fat dairy products, skimmed milk, sugar free beverages, tea, coffee, and non sugary cereals.

      Try to include as many wholefoods as possible into your diet. Such as brown rice, brown pasta, beans & pulses, and brown bread. These are all high in fiber and will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

      DO make sure you keep all JUNK FOODS, ready made processed meals, (the ones you buy in the supermarket), alcohol, sugary fizzy drinks, and takeaway meals to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. These are all high in refined sugar and full of saturated fat. The two main ingredients which are responsible for those extra pounds.

      Remember JUNK FOOD is just what it says - JUNK. With one added ingredient in - FAT.

      Have three regular meals a day. At regular times. Always starting with breakfast. This way you are less likely to indulge in snacks later on during the morning.

      Sit down to eat your meals. Take time over them. Paying particular attention to what you are eating.

      Stay concious of your new eating habits and activity levels. Because if you don't then you won't suceed. You need to be determined, be comitted and last of all stay consistent.

      Secondly, try to MOVE as as much as you can. Any exercise will really help to accelerate your weight loss.

      Walking, swimming, try a dance class, riding a bike, (this can also be a stationery bike). I am not too sure how bad your injury is to your knee. But using a trampoline also is a great exercise too.
      Any exercise where it manages to get your heart rate up. Making your blood pump faster around your heart, you are breathing harder, and sweating. This way you will be burning calories.

      But like with any exercise. Unless you are combining it with healthy eating. Then it will work. But if you don't then you won't see any results.

      Exercise is beneficial regardless of your diet. However, 80% of your physique is a result of what you eat. 20% is exercise. So exercise and healthy eating work perfectly together.

      Remember if once you have managed to reach your target weight. You CAN'T go back to your old eating habits and activity levels. Otherwise you WILL put all the weight back on again. It is as simple as that.

      Good Luck

  22. QUESTION:
    What's the best way to lose weight, best diet to follow?
    I've been counting calories (about 1500 a day) and exercising via my treadmill at least 20 minutes, three times a week. This is slowly working, but some other people I know are losing quicker on the low carb diet or Weight Watchers. Should I increase my amount of exercise or maybe switch to a different diet?

    • ANSWER:
      I know this is long reply. But please take your time and read this. I know this work. So please read it =)

      Water is very good for you and specially if you're on diet and if you're working out-water is very good and keeps you hydrated.
      I don't believe in pills or any weight loss shakes-they are bogus and lame and are temporally and have many side effects.

      First loose the soda, cut down on pizza and fast food.
      If you like fires make 'em at home in oven. They come out very yummy and oil free.

      Key is to eat small portions 5 times a day.
      Morning: boiled eggs, corn flakes, fat free milk, if you want to fry eggs loose the yolk and eat the white part.
      Morning snack around 10:30am-11am: a piece of fruit / 2 cups of veggie/ salad
      Lunch: Turkey / Chicken lunchmeat with whole grain or wheat bread.
      1 Cup of veggies.
      Mid day snack (around 2:30pm or so) a piece of fruit or health bar.
      Dinner: Grill fish with veggies / brown rice with beans/ wheat pasta with grill chicken.
      9pm snack (optional-only if you feel lil hungry 2 hours before your sleep time) have yogurt.

      The key is to loose red meat and pork and add more wheat products to your diet. Drink lots of water. As you can read i did not talk about any sweet products. Sweet only from fruits no cookies no cake no brownies.None of that. Sweet things have more and load and calories. Take your protein because you would need that protein for your work out.

      For hips, behind and thighs one thing SQUATS and LUNGES helps a lot!
      SQUATS are hard to do in start but once you get use to of it, no problem
      for butt is "BUTT BLASTER" EXERCISE. You can do it in your bedroom. To see how to perform those exercises, you can go image google put the key word and check out the pics and that will give you idea on how to perform those exercises. All the exercises i told you, you can do it in your bedroom, no need to go to gym or buy any equipment.

      Start by doing 3 sets of 15 each.

      Believe me you will see results within a month.
      I have told other people too, this entire veggies and fruit intake will make you very regular and you will make about 4 trips to the bathroom, so be prepare.

  25. QUESTION:
    What should you do, to lose weight, if diet and exercise don't work?
    At first, I was dieting and exercising, and so far I lost 10lbs. For the next few months, I have been eating healthy and exercising for hours sometimes, and have not lost any more weight.

    What's wrong with me? Why can't I lose more weight? Can anybody give helpful suggestions on how I could lose weight?

    • ANSWER:
      First of all you have to make sure you are eating the right things (healthy food) and that you are burning more calories then you are eating. If you burn more calories then you should be burning fat.

      If you are lifting weights and doing non cardio activites you could be gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.

      Just keep doing cardio and burning those calories im sure you will notice that you are losing weight.
      Also sometimes your body would tone up and u wouldn't lose pounds but you would lose inches!
      so measure your body with a tape measure and see if your losing inches.

      Just keep eating right and burning fat!
      Youll notice a difference, just be consistant and patient!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      I am always impressed that there is oftentimes some good advice and good links from people helping others through Yahoo_Answers.

      After reading your question I saw you might be interested in optimizing your nutrition [(-:] so even though I may not answer your question exactly as you may have wanted it answered, I thought I would take the time to pass on some pointers I have learned the hard way from my own bad 'uninformed' choices, so you could learn about good advice and bad advice about good nutritional choices.

      After having many bad health problems from listening to people who knew very little about the consequences of choosing LOW nutritional statistics, I really-really encourage you to learn from good nutritionists what to eat for a life time. [See below]

      My best to you and to your future health,
      A1

      Source(s):

      I have learned what I now know after my own lengthy research efforts to improve my health - after ‘FINALLY’ listening to unbiased researching nutritionists. I have shared extensively concerning the most critical nutritional statistics that are common to us all at: <> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091005174358AAgZawf
      <>

      Also, the only ranking I have ever found to be helpful for me for various foods was from Dr. Fuhrman’s work. I modified his list and posted it at <> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091016160457AAkysKW
      <>.

      Lastly, after all my previous health problems due to following a-lot of bad advice, I can now understand the frustrations of other health researchers in the following quote within “The China Study” by T Colin Campbell pg 1: >>==>

      “Even though information and opinions are plentiful, very few people truly know what they should be doing to improve their health.”

      “This isn’t because the research hasn’t been done. It has. But the real science has been buried beneath a clutter of irrelevant or even harmful information – junk science, fad diets and food industry propaganda.”

    Looking for a winter weight lose diet plan for a 40ish woman who just stopped her cycle in the last year?
    Have to lose 10 pounds by New Years Day.I also live in Florida.
    I ama sub teacher and walk everyday for 30 minutes plus help mother with landscape gardening whenever I can (lifting mulch bags in and out, filling and hauling out heavy garden waste bags, , and walking the dog on weekends as my exercise.Can you I do it with just amount of exercise?

    • ANSWER:
      You're getting a late start to lose 10 lbs in less than a month.

      For the rest of the month, you will need to cut out all processed foods and cut way back on sugar, red meat and eggs. No candy/egg nog, pie, cookies at all. Eat salads, fruit, veggies and other high fiber foods - for protien, fish and chicken. No shell fish including shrimp.

      Then you will need to exercise at least 2.5 hours every day -- half cardio and half weights in order to burn calories.

      Fact is you should have started a month ago.

      reply to your edit... I don't think the amount of exercise you get in is sufficient to lose weight -- you need to be burning calories -- 30 minutes a day walking is great for maintenance, but it's not a big calorie burn, and neither is intermittent gardening or walking the dog on weekends.

      If you walk 2 miles a day at a walking speed of 3.2 miles an hour you burn about 180 calories. That's not a lot. Your stated goal was to drop 10 lbs in less than a month, so you have to work harder to get your metabolism reved up and burning the calories... that is what the combo of both cardio and weight work do. You can do fad diets, but usually the weight comes back and then some.

  29. QUESTION:
    How fast do anorexics on a 500 calorie diet lose weight and how much weight do they lose?
    I was reading stuff on this and im really curious. Any experiences that u would like to share would be great. I know that it's unhealthy and to not do it, this is just for my own knowledge. I like to learn :] how fast would they lose weight and how much do they lose?

    • ANSWER:
      blah blah blah unsafe, blah blah blah diet and exercise, blah blah blah....

      Here's some math. Let's assume a person has a BMR of 1400, meaning their body needs 1400 calories to not feed on fat stores, if the person does not move at all. Adding in the amount of movement a person usually does in a day, lets say, to avoid feeding on fat stores, the person needs to eat at least 1800 calories a day. This person eats 500 calories a day. They have a calorie deficit of 1300 calories. A pound of fat is about 3500 calories. So the person would lose a pound about every three days. That's two pounds a week, without any exercise or anything. Now, obviously this doesn't factor in specific metabolic changes, or anything specific. This is just math. If the person burns, say, another 400 calories a day with exercise, meaning they would have a calorie deficit of 1700 calories. They would lose a pound every two days.

      This is not personal experience. This is just math. In practice, none of this is probably true. But, interestingly enough, I did this math earlier today, because I've been eating about 500 calories a day lately and I was curious. :)

  31. QUESTION:
    What is the best diet to lose weight and lower blood pressure?
    I really need to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. What is a diet that would address these issues?? I just realized that my microwave meals are LOADED with sodium. I am not a very good cook, also.

    • ANSWER:
      Processed foods are loaded with all kinds of different salts, as you've found out.

      Any diet that makes you lose weight will also make your bloodpressure go down as you do.

      Dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa) also has some unique ingredients that lower bloodpressure, but you have to take the calories into account.

      You don't have to cook much. Cook big stuff when you do cook, and cook it without salt. Then throw it in some tupperware and in the fridge or freezer. Keep in mind that you do require SOME salt - but not much.

    my sister in law is going to spend 100 euros on eletric current weight loss with 20 sessions.. suppose to make you lose 3-4 inches where you want it... but I don't think it would really work.... which do you think will work faster in two months, 20 sessions of eletric currents, or two months of strict diet and exercise?

    • ANSWER:
      Electrocuting yourself should make you lose weight faster. Dead people always lose weight faster.

      Seriously, though, the whole electroshock thing is a total scam. There's really no such thing as "targeted weight loss" unless you undergo surgery, which any physician will tell you is again not a substitute for regular exercise and a healthy diet. Forget "quick".. get-rich-quick and get-thin-quick schemes always fall through and the one who tries them winds up paying more than they ever dreamed.

    • ANSWER:
      I've lost 2 pounds since this morning. I biked 5 miles in the morning and ate mostly fruits and veggies (except for a banana muffin) today. Now, the muffin I could've left out of my diet (but I didn't want it to spoil). A majority of your diet should be fruits and veggies. You can still eat brown rice, chicken, and fish. Cut out soda and high sugary drinks, and stick mostly to water.

      Don't forget to exercise, as accompanied with a healthy diet, will promote weight loss. Happy weight loss!

      iii. Sources of fat come from whole foods (such as cottage cheese or eggs).
      iv. Starchy carbohydrates (such as oats and pasta).

      Divide your meals into 4 and that should be eaten at a minimum of 2 1/2 hours apart.

      2. 10 Weight Loss Rules- If you would rather lose weight more "casually" (without having to follow a specific diet) then the second weight loss program which is a collection of which you can use to lose weight in a much more "casual" way.

      To lose weight you need to manipulate which types of calories enter your body at each meal.

      The first thing you must do is learn the 3 types of calories, and which calories are in each type of food that you eat.

      Some of sample foods made of Protein and Carbs (Carbohydrates) are :-

      PROTEIN FOODS

      * Lean Roast Beef

      * Cottage Cheese (low fat)

      * Eggs (scrambled, hard-boiled)

      * Broiled Flounder (non breaded)

      CARBS(Carbohydrates) FOODS

      * Mixed Salad (only lettuce, tomatoes, and
      veggies allowed)

      * Dressing should be Low Cal dressing. Use sparingly,
      you should not smother the salad with too much
      dressing.
      * Bread (should be "oat" or "bran" type bread
      only)

      * Mixed Vegetables (fresh or frozen)

      * Fresh Apples

      All you need is just rotate this Protein and Carbohydrate meals for One week and you will lose 10 lbs within that.

      You need to maintain your diet and eat for rest of your life the food you like. To maintain your new slim body you will have the list of some general "rules". These rules are meant to be "general" and "simple" because you can easily maintain your new body by just using a the simple and general rules.

      For example, the rule about breaking up your daily food intake into 4 meals may "seem" simple, but it can control how slim you stay in the future.

      You will be also presented with rules about what to avoid when grocery shopping, how to order food at restaurants, and how to order at fast food establishments.

      The late night eating habit and other non-healthy eating habits also been tackled.

      These rules are ""simple sounding"" but they are enough to maintain your new body for the rest of your life.

    P.S: I am 14.

      I lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks just from walking 4 miles a day 3-5 days a week. I stopped drinking juice, I just drank water and I just ate half of what I normally ate. I stuck to a normal breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule. For snacking I just ate sugar free low calorie jello.

      I also had an app to track what I ate to stay below my 1500 calorie daily intake.

      Get Lean with the Magnetic Diet Seven Step Plan

      Combined with strength conditioning, energization exercises, pranayama life force control and meditation the magnetic diet seven step plan will when followed guarantee that you achieve a low level of body fat in a predetermined period of time. Ultimate leanness is defined as single digit body fat percentages for men and low teen body fat percentages for women. This is the level of body fat necessary if you want to be able to actually see the definition of your abdominal muscles. The magnet diet in combination with the right amount of physical activity will create the necessary calorie deficit to achieve ultimate leanness. The time it takes for you to achieve that will of course depend on how much fat you have to lose.

      For example, if you currently weigh 200 pounds and are at 23% body fat and your goal is to be at 9% body fat you have about 25 pounds of fat to loose. To loose 25 pounds of fat while maintaining or even gaining muscle should take you approximately 6 to 7 months. You can lose 25 pounds in a much quicker time frame, but will it be 25 pounds of fat? No it will not, remember when you lose weight too quickly much of the weight lost can end up being muscle. And as we learned earlier if you lose muscle you will create the condition for a boomerang weight gain of fat down the road. Now 6 to 7 months may sound like a long time but in reality its not. In our society we want everything quick and easy, but the truth is that nothing worth having comes quick or easy. 6 to 7 months of your life will pass by no matter what you do, you cannot stop time. But by following the magnetic diet seven step success plan the difference will be that 6 to 7 months from the time you start you will have achieved your goal, you will have attained your desired body fat percentage, you will look great and most important of all you will have achieved a very high level of health and vitality. Remember the goal is to lose fat and maintain or even gain muscle so losing the fat slowly is the way. Here is the plan:

      Step 1.

      Determine your current body fat percentage

      Get your body fat measured by a personal trainer or health professional, or purchase Tanita body composition monitor or other similar device.

      Step 2.

      Decide on a goal body fat percentage:

      What’s it going to be 15%, 10%, 5%? They are all achievable, you just have to decide. Once you have decided then calculate the amount of fat that you will have to lose. Take you current body fat percentage minus the goal body fat percentage and convert that to a decimal value add 1 and divide your current weight by that amount. The difference between the result and your current weight is the number of pounds of fat you need to lose. For example a 200 pound person at a 23% body fat who wants to achieve a 9% body fat would do the following:

      23 percent minus 9 percent = 14 percent
      14 percent = .14
      .14 +1 = 1.14
      200 pounds divided by 1.14 = 175 pounds
      200 – 175 = 25 pounds of fat to lose

      Step 3.

      Determine your current resting metabolic rate

      Determine your current resting metabolic rate using the formulas on page 112.

      Step 4.

      Determine your maximum daily caloric intake

      Remember you want to create a calorie per day deficit so maximum daily caloric intake is equal to your resting metabolic rate plus any additional physical activity as measured in calories minus 500 calories.

      Use this as a tool: http://www.magnetic-diet.com/calc/daily_calorie_calculator.htm

      Step 5.

      Adjust the diet using portion sizes and snacks

      Adjust the portion sizes slightly in the main meals or add or subtract snack portions to get to the maximum daily caloric intake.

      Step 6

      Determine the length of time to achieve your goal

      The amount of fat you need to lose divided by a pound a week = the number of weeks it will take to achieve your goal.

      Step 7

      Follow the Magnetic Diet Seven Day Success Plan Not only will it result in your achieving your goal but it will ensure life long health and vitality. Adjust your caloric intake and activity level as your weight drops. Remember as your body weight drops so do your caloric needs. You must reduce your caloric intake or you will reach a plateau.

I would want to start some diet and lose weight fast without compromising health. I will also get back to exercise. I am deeply low and I feel less confident looking too curvy and round. I heard about some soup diet. Anyone know about it? I would appreciate help. I am from Mauritius. I am very low..:(( Thanks

      Eating no sugar makes the body burn any stored fat. Get up half an hour earlier and walk. You'll feel better all day because of it. My wife used to tell me how much I would have to exercise in order to burn off what I was eating. We have to burn 3500 calories in order to lose one pound no matter what foods we eat! Do little spurts of exercise throughout the day if you can't do it all at once. Run in place while you are on the phone or drying your hair; do leg lifts while you are cooking; swing one arm while you are using the other one, etc.

    How to lose weight and keep the diet going on at school?
    I am 15 and I want to lose weight. I need to lost weight because I am overweight. For the new school year I want to start a diet and lose a good amount of weight. How do I keep the diet going even in school? What should I eat at home and school?

    • ANSWER:
      Just stay away from the vending machines! No candy, chips or soda.
      If your school offers a salad bar go for that. Skip the fries and extra salt.

      If you don't live too far walk to school instead of getting a ride or taking the bus or stay after school to walk the track if you have one.

      You'll get the best results if you do this with a friend so you can motivate each other and you won't feel so alone = )

  50. QUESTION:
    Anyone taking protein powder in their diet to lose weight?
    If so, how is it working? How do you use it in your daily meal planning? I am 60 years old and need to lose weight. I've talked with my doctor and we've talked at length about exercise and diet. I'm looking for your experience with protein powder.

    • ANSWER:
      yes, they can be beneficial as part of a weight reduction diet.

      you want to use a protein powder that is either casein or contains milk proteins. milk protein is the combination of whey & casein. you don't want to use straight whey protein protein for weight loss. whey protein causes a spike in the amino acid (AA) concentration in the blood. this spike stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and has more of an anabolic (muscle building) response. AA levels rise, spike and decline in several hours. casein has a different amino acid profile and is digested and metabolized slower than whey. it provides amino acids over a much longer period of time from 4-5 hours. this slower release of amino acids into the bloodstream has more of an anti-catabolic effect so it is more beneficial when losing body fat AND preserving muscle is the primary goal when on a reduced calorie diet.
