Weight loss is one of those things that everyone wants. Other than those in the fitness or the show business, most of us aren't in good shape. Most of us want to lose weight and keep searching for how to lose weight fast. This article will shed some light on weight loss and how to do it efficiently.
Due to weight loss being such a big industry, there are many myths flying around. There are more opinions than information. Especially on the Internet, anyone can claim to be a weight loss expert trying to make a quick buck or two. There is a serious dearth of reliable sources. So, my first piece of advice would be to stay away from anything that makes tall claims and promises something over the top. At the end of the day, it is you who is responsible for your success (or the lack of it).
Losing weight, like anything else in life, requires time and efforts. There are no shortcuts and you will have to put in the work. It might be ugly, it might be frustrating and you may want to throw in the towel but believe me -- the end result, if you put in the work, is mighty pleasing.
With that said, let us take a look at some of the common tips to lose weight --
First and foremost, reduce your intake of calories. This is actually a very common newbie question: how many calories should I eat a day? Eat fruits and vegetables as they are low in calories. Foods that are rich in fiber are good, too.
Some of the common weight gain culprits are fatty foods, pasta, rice, fat food, etcetera. Do not consume any of these when you're trying to lose weight. Drink lots and lots of water as that helps a lot.
If you are busy and don't have the time to go to a gym, you could do with activities that require physical work, such as jogging, swimming, etc. Also, try to reduce the time you sit in front of your television or computer as much as possible.
Contrary to the popular belief, diet is far more important to losing weight than exercises. If you keep on exercising without maintaining a proper diet regime, it may in fact have dire consequences. Your diet is very, very important.
Last but not the least, avoid any weight loss supplements. Some of them might be good and may work as advertised however, the majority of them are nothing but scams. Stay away from them as much as possible because they may even harm your health.

QUESTION:
Any free weight loss programs for 13 year olds?
I am trying to loss weight and need a program that will work.
I know all of you think I am to young but I really do need to lose weight.-
ANSWER:
Well, I do know one diet I found did work for me, but it's not an easy diet to deal with, and it's free as free gets! And I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for even suggesting this to a child, but try a water diet. It's suggested normally for about five days, but you might want to start it trying just two days to see if you can handle it. This is the way it goes...*Side note: I lost five pounds in two days trying this diet, if that's any indication.
It helps if you have a water cleaning system, like PUR or Brita, because the diet calls for nothing but purified water. If you have something like that, this diet only costs the price of replacing the filter every three months. If you have a fresh filter, then there's no problem.
But basically, you do nothing but drink water-- and maybe occasionally eat an apple or something-- they're mostly water anyway. It's not an easy program to get through, but after three days (on the full five day program), hunger basically goes away and your body starts feeding off its stored energy (fat). However, since you're young, again, I'm suggesting maybe trying it for two days and taking a break for a day or two before doing another two days.
The basic trick of this diet is that your body starts dropping stored water and salt from the foods you eat on a regular basis. You'll have to use the bathroom a lot, but that's natural for this diet. Whatever food allergies you might have cause swelling that is what's called "False Fat", which you'll lose almost immediately (within three to five days on the full program). Again, it's a hard diet, but it does work if you really stick to it. Doing it once per month is considered 'safe', but it's basically a fasting. DO NOT do it more than once per month... it can make you sick if you do it more than that. A few days on and a few days off usually helps keep you safely fed and the weight should stay off as you continue to lose it. Remember: No more than five or six days per month.

QUESTION:
How can I get free weight loss surgery?
I want to get the Gastric Bypass surgey, but there is no way I can afford it and I don't have insurance at this moment, but I will soon. I am so desperate I will do something on T.V. And YES I've tried dieting and exercising and that hasn't helpd me lose the weight. I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you very much.
-
ANSWER:
Seriously, I'd recommend you first isolate the reason why you're unable to lose weight via diet and exercise. Find out if there's some aggravating cause, like thyroid activity, hormonal imbalances, etc, etc. Go see your doctor and get some blood work done. If you can at least isolate the cause, then you can attack it from that angle. If you are still interested in the gastric procedure and you have no insurance or money then you're really up against a brick wall. Another thing you need to consider is that most reputable doctors will not perform a gastric surgery unless you are a minimum of 100 pounds overweight for your height and age. Are you at that level?.

Are there any weight loss pills available at places such as walgreens?This would be very helpful because i am really sensitive to caffeine and am trying to lose weight.
any help?
Ps. i know diet and exercise are the best way and i've been cutting back calories and eating better food and doing things such as push ups and sit ups but i cant do high impact workouts such as running becuase of my hip condition. all i want is something that can help me with a small boost but is caffeine free
-
ANSWER:
there are several caffeine free pills but they are mostly junk with a few vitamins here and there. diet and exercise are the best for weight loss. theres no magic pill.youre going to get lots of spam for asking about diet pills here, just a fair warning.
[edit] i understand what youre asking but you have to understand that 90% of diet pills are junk, they dont give you a boost at all and those that do are usually the caffeine packed ones that give you more energy, and in turn you feel like you want to exercise and burn more. trust me, i used to take all kinds of diet pills and the only ones that even have any effect are the ones that unfortunately have dangerous side effects.

QUESTION:
how does the sensa weight loss program free trial work?
I am interested in doing the sensa free trial program but I am afraid that they may scam me into buying more than I actually want by sending me more when I want to do it. Someone told me that I could just cancel it right after I get my second month free but im afraid to take the risk. What should i do?-
ANSWER:
Commercial weight loss programs are notoriously unsuccessful for the vast majority of people. After three years, very few people are able to maintain the weight loss. (Gina Kolata "Rethinking Thin")I finally lost 90 pounds and kept it off by simply changing my food choices. Research the "whole plant based diet." Former President Bill Clinton lost 25 pounds and reversed heart disease by eating a healthy diet recommended by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr.
I'm focused on eating mostly plant based food in balance: Legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, leafy greens, ground flax seed, and vitamin B12 and D as needed. I can eat more and weigh less. I can also eat less because the fiber in my diet reduces my appetite.

If you want to try it out, please send me results in one month:
Put on a wide leather belt and adjust it as tight as you can get it. Then, eat as much as you want. Never eat unless you have the belt on.
This is a non-surgical version of stomach banding which costs ,000 or more, and is completely reversible and harmless-
ANSWER:
It's not a good idea because like that stupid lap band garbage, it affects your ability to digest calcium, magnesium, and zinc. People getting that stupid lap band are getting osteoporosis and other diseases as a result of doing it.There are much better ways of losing weight. Listening to the people that are promoting low fat, low salt, no red meat crowd are simply not informed people and are promoting indoctrination, not good health or good advice for losing weight.
good luck to you

QUESTION:
Do you know of a free weight-loss tracking website?
I think keeping a weight-loss journal would be motivating, especially if I could make charts of my loses.-
ANSWER:
Please see "Free Online Diet & Fitness Calculators" source links below.The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.htmlDo not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to "gainbetterhealth" if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.
*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations.

QUESTION:
Can anyone give me the best free weight loss plans?
I need to loose 6 1/2 lbs. a week for 3 months so could anyone give some ideas on the best way to do it. I don't care whether its healthy or not.-
ANSWER:
You need to realise that if you choose unhealthy ways to lose weight that a) you will only lose weight for a small period of time b) you will do your body serious damage.Everyone has the potential to lose weight fast. Unfortunatly fast weight loss is bad weight loss. There is a huge difference between 'fat loss' and 'weight' loss.
Dramatic weight loss is shockingly bad for you. This wrecks your metabolism and irreversibly damages your immune system. When faced with an intensive calorie restriction, your brain immediately thinks you are starving and sends your body directly into famine mode.
If you were to lose lets say 20 pounds fast through unhealthy weight loss only around 12 pounds of that will be fat, 6 pounds will be muscle and the rest water.
Water will return quickly (meaning weight gain) and more importantly we need muscle to aid in weight loss. Muscle is a very active tissue, it burns up to 50 extra calories per pound, per day
If you choose to lose weight through unhealthy methods than don't expect permanent weight loss or a healthy body.
This following website gives you the tools you need to develop a healthy lifestyle and maintain it for a lifetime.
Good luck and all the best with your weight loss goals

Has anyone tried any of these 3 free weight loss websites?
I am deciding between sparkpeople.com, caloriecount.about.com, and revolutionhealth.com.They all seem to be similar, I am just wondering how peoples experiences are. Please, I am not asking for rude comments or any other sites, pills or programs that cost a lot of money. I like the idea of one of these three.
Thanks!

QUESTION:
where can i go for a good free online weight loss program?
i used to follow weight watchers, and it worked really well for me. but i had to give it up because i just don't have the money for it. but, i really would like to continue a similar program. is there anything that i can use, possibly online that will be a good tracker for me that uses a similar system as weight watcher's points, that is also a free program? please let me know of any you think of. thanks.-
ANSWER:
According to Gina Kolata, none of the most popular diet programs work very well over the long term. The diet that did work for me was based upon a whole plant based diet recommended by the following experts:Dr. Dean Ornish
Professor T. Colin Campbell
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr.
Dr. Neal Barnard
Dr. Joel Fuhrman
Dr. John McDougallAny web site sponsored by the above experts will give your the diet and lifestyle changes you need to maintain a healthy weight. It's a pure vegetarian diet and I lost 80+ pounds easily, without having to spend any money on a quick fix solution that only helps the sponsors of the program. By the way, stay away from the Dr. Atkin's program. That diet will kill you slowly.

I'm looking for free samples, offers, or trials for weight loss
that can include magazines and such alsoThanks!

ANSWER:
You can get free samples of stuff from http://www.freegrabber.com. They have all kinds of free sample offers, you can search through the categories and see if any match what you are looking for. If you plan to use the site a lot, I suggest getting a second email address to fill out the forms with. That way you don't get all the spam to your primary email and if they say you have to check your email you can.
