Weight Loss Methods

The best weight loss methods to loose arm and thigh fat are not that complicated. It is essential to understand the importance of everyday exercise when losing arm fat and thigh fat. Sure, anyone can say they work out. But if your working out is not something you do everyday, then your physical appearance is going to suffer. Having an exercise plan you stick with on a daily basis is going to do a lot for your health and physical appearance over the long haul.

1.) Arm fat is not necessarily one of those things that everyone wants on their body. It's not very sightly and can easily make you look fat. The cold hard truth is that if you have this type of fat, you are probably what is considered to be overweight. So basically, the first thing you need to do despite how you eat is to do some form of exercise. Do this every single day while possibly taking one or two days off a week for rest. You must make sure you design an exercise program that includes both strength training and cardiovascular exercises for the best overall results.

2.) It is very important that you exercise at least one hour everyday. Drink water while you exercise and throughout the day for even quicker weight loss to get rid of your arm fat. Cold water is best for speeding up metabolism. After you have exercised consistently for about one month, your body will begin to show improvement, especially your arm fat. It will begin to decrease little by little, so it is important not to expect any extremely quick results. A safe weight loss occurs at one to two pounds per week. Over time, that amount of weight loss can really add up. Instead of referring to it as one to two pounds per week, you may want to think of it as five to ten pounds per month. You call that the best weight loss methods to loose arm and thigh fat, because ten pounds per month are real and safe results.

3.) Another essential weight loss method for shedding your arm fat and thigh fat is to eat. So many people think that cutting down on calories and skipping out on eating is the best way to lose weight. It does, by far offer a very quick short term result, but over the long term, it never works. No one living has ever had success in weight loss by starving themselves. It is best to eat a variety of healthy foods and snacks throughout the day. The only thing you need to pay most attention to is your portions. If you consume too much at one time, your body may end up storing the leftover food as fat, especially if it is not burned up as energy.

Losing a substantial amount of arm fat can be accomplished and maintained over time. It is never healthy to expect overnight weight loss. This cannot be stressed enough. People need to think of weight loss as something that takes a period of weeks and months, not a period of days. Being realistic can be difficult when you want the fat gone now, but you will never come out disappointed if you think of it in this way. The longer you persist, the better you will look and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are some extreme weight loss methods?
    I have to write a school speech on this subject and i need some extreme weight loss methods. I've heard off soaking cotton wool in orange juice as one method but i need more. Any help would be great.

    • ANSWER:
      The best method I think is to join a gym and do regular exercise.
      That helps a lot.

  2. QUESTION:
    Does anyone have any good weight loss methods?
    Does anyone have any good weight loss methods? Please share them im despetate.

    • ANSWER:
      Personally I follow the low-fat diet. I think is the best for losing and maintaining weight in a healthy way.

      One can choose menus from 800 to 1200 calories depending on your needs.

      How to determine the number of calories you need. I recommend for the average person the following simple "rule of thumb" method:

      For: MARKED OVERWEIGHTS
      A person markedly overweight is one who is 30 per cent or more above his normal weight. This means that if you weigh 180 lbs. but should, according to our table, weigh 135 lbs., then you are 45 lbs, overweight. In that case you should reduce your weight by using the 800 calorie diet menus.

      For: MODERATE OVERWEIGHTS
      If you are moderately overweight (i.e. 15-30 per cent; you are, say, 20 to 45 lbs. over and weigh from 155 to 180 lbs.) use the diet menus for the 1000 calorie daily food intake

      For: MILD OVERWEIGHTS
      If you are only mildly overweight (5 to 15 per cent above your normal weight; let us say you are 7 to 20 lbs. over.) then follow the 1200 calorie diet described in the center, green section.

      After you have lost an average of 2 lbs. each week and have achieved your normal weight, you should then follow the low-fat maintenance diets. These diets range from approximately 1500 calories to 2200 calories. They are recommended for the average individual who does light work with a moderate expenditure of calories in average daily activi¬ties.

      Lose Weight With These 17 Hot Tips
      Some billion dollars is spent on weight loss each year as people desperately search and mistakenly believe ‘the answer’ to looking and feeling good is losing weight.
      This may be a popular belief but it is totally false as the majority of the big weight loss spenders are losing their money, not their weight.

      The majority of people who try to lose weight use very unhealthy methods that have devastating effects on the metabolism (the body’s engine). In fact, 98% of those people who do manage to lose some weight soon gain it back and end up with a damaged metabolism which makes future weight loss efforts near impossible.

      There is a simple concept to lose weight and look good. It happens when you do the right thing and take responsibility for your health and improve it first and foremost. You cannot lose weight to improve your health – you must improve your health and have a healthy metabolism in order to lose weight.

      Don’t keep doing what you are doing if it is not working. Here are 17 hot tips that will work better than anything you can purchase:

      1. Have a strength training exercise program firmly in place.
      2. Perform 1-2 interval training sessions each week.
      3. Hire a fitness professional to teach you how to exercise intensely enough to really make a difference to your metabolism.
      4. Do not do any long, slow, steady state activity (walking, jogging, cycling etc). These are recreational activities that are fine as part of an active lifestyle but can never replace a proper exercise program.
      5. Separate interval training and strength training days.
      6. Eat 5-7 times each day.
      7. Have at least 20 grams of protein at each meal.
      8. Make up the balance of your meals with lots of cooked and raw vegetables.
      9. Eat whole natural unprocessed foods.
      10. Space your small meals out every 2-3 hours throughout the day.
      11. Eat within an hour of waking.
      12. Plan your meals, shop and prepare them in advance and take them with you wherever you go so you are not tempted to eat something that will not help you reach your goals.
      13. Plan your workouts in advance and schedule them on your planner or calendar.
      14. Treat these workout times as important appointments and keep your promises to yourself.
      15. List 10-20 benefits that you will gain from becoming stronger, fitter and slimmer and make them your health/fitness/weight loss goals. These goals will then become much more personal and meaningful.
      16. Go over these benefits as often as you need to. This may be daily, weekly or monthly.
      17. You can’t manage your health until you can manage your self which involves managing your time, your energy, your workouts, and your eating plan.

      Follow these 17 hot tips and consider yourself successful as this approach to fitness and fat loss will give you an advantage over 95% of the diets and weight loss programs available. Yes you will lose fat but you will also improve your overall health which in turn will improve the quality of your life.

  4. QUESTION:
    How do you all feel about these 'amazing weight loss methods' that are all over the internet?
    The ones that claim that cardio and diet won't work(well,I stuck to it and it definitely worked for me!)and that crunches won't help with your belly...and that they know ONE SECRET that will be life-saving.

    I am sure I will get some lame links with such stuff as answers..

    Has anyone actually looked into any of those?The science of weight loss sounds pretty sound to me!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, hate to break it to you but most if it is bull. Whoever claims cardio and diet don't work are hugely mistaken. It's the only way to lower your weight, and it has worked for a very long time. Although it's not the most appealing offer since it takes a lot of work and determination, it certainly beats the claims of those "magic wight loss potions" that will make you drop a ton of weight overnight. Although some offer promising results, it doesn't come without a list of obscure ingredients that wreak havoc on your body and can cause some dangerous side effects. Not only that, but you usually have to shelf out a huge wad of cash for something that doesn't work.

      All the product links on this site are such a pain in the a**!

  5. QUESTION:
    What are some of the best weight loss methods that have worked for you?
    I am trying to lose weight and I just want to hear some of your opinions on what you have tried and whether or not it worked.

    • ANSWER:
      Eat slightly less, more fruit and vegies, and excersize. The natural way. Can't imagine why people PAY to do what they themselves can do on their own.

  6. QUESTION:
    Could anyone tell me any quick weight loss methods?
    Something that is preferrably cheap and is healthy to do. Looking to lose a large amount of weight in short amount of time.

    • ANSWER:
      Vegetables, Fruits, Water - all you can eat - and lots of work-outs - and you will loose weight fast. It's not the best way but if you only want to loose about 10 pounds or so - it should work (at least it worked for me)

  7. QUESTION:
    Diet methods for quick weight loss?
    Hey everyone. I am looking for some quick weight loss methods to drop about 15 pounds in 5 weeks. I have done the healthy lifestyle and am working out, but need more. Does anyone have any extra ideas (lots of protein, no fat, lots of water, lots of celery) any thing like that to help get the rest of the weight off. Please no answers about cutting intake, etc., I already do it. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Ok, for you to read an extra fast weight loss guide, you are probably looking to dropping a few pounds in a few days. You are probably already on a diet and still looking for other ways to kill the extra calories in whatever time you have. So here are some food and exercise tips to supplement your ongoing diet.

      As seen from many diets, drinking lots of water is crucial to extra fast weight loss. For example, you can consume cold water to cut the calories. This is because your body tries to keep itself at a constantly warm temperature so will expend calories to warm your body up. (However, if you are a believer in traditional Chinese medicine and since the latter does not advocate drinking iced drinks, you may want to tick this suggestion off your list) Secondly, when you get hungry, try having a glass of water before reaching for a bite since our body sometimes mistake thirst for hunger. Wait 5 minutes before deciding you really need that snack. Most of the time, you do not!

      Now to your food, if like me, you must have a sugar fix almost every few hours in a day, extra fast weight loss for you is simply by not indulging in this harmful habit! It is easy to say but how exactly to go about doing it? Studies have shown that people crave sweets and starches to increase the ‘feel-good’ hormone serotonin. So find out why you crave such foods instead of just blindly giving into your cravings. Another way is to purge your home of junk, having to travel to get a snack is sure to put your dent in your appetite.

    I'm 16 and I weigh 180 pounds and I'm 5'6 however I'm very uncomfortable with my weight and want to loose some! I don't look bad I just feel itlll be unhealthy down the road

    • ANSWER:
      After trying excessive aerobic exercise, food combining, Atkins, Weight Watchers, and calorie restricted diets, I finally discovered a whole plant based diet. A "whole plant based diet" enabled me to permanently change my eating habits and lose 90 pounds and keep the excess fat off. Ms Gina Kolata of the New York Times confirmed my experience with conventional/popular weight loss programs in her book: "Rethinking Thin."

      Any of the following independent researchers can help you get on a whole plant based program that works:

      + Dr. Dean Ornish
      + Dr. Neal Barnard
      + Dr. Joel Fuhrman
      + Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr.
      + Professor T. Colin Campbell

      A big plus is the fact that this diet minimizes your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancers, especially prostate and breast cancers. The reason you will stay on this diet is the fact that you feel so much better and more mentally alert and alive.

      Go to the library and get any book by any author I listed. If you like the book, purchase a copy. Esselstyn (a respected cardiologist in the Cleveland Clinic) and his son were world class athletes while eating a low-fat whole plant based diet. The son wrote a cook book called "Engine 2 Diet." This is a permanent lifestyle change that will change your life completely.

    • ANSWER:
      Because most people don't change their lifestyle to maintain weight loss. They do a fad diet until they get to whatever weight they want (if they can even keep it up that long), then go right bad to their old, unhealthy ways.

  21. QUESTION:
    I am looking at dropping some dress sizes. Does anyone know of any good weight loss methods that work fast?

    • ANSWER:
      I am tempted to ask why someone named "Christopher" wants to lose dress sizes - lol.

      Keep in mind that there really is no healthy way to lose a lot of weight over a prolonged period of time, but you can drop quite a bit short term and then embark on a program to steadily bring weight off over time.

      One way to drop several pounds right off the bat is to go on a one day fast of eating nothing but dark grapes, seeds and all or else watermelon. Eat all you want, but nothing else other than water. It will clean your system and also help shrink your stomach a bit so that you can eat smaller portions and feel full in the future.

      When you do eat, avoid fatty foods, trans-fats, foods containing msg or aspartame, and try to eat a more natural diet consisting of mostly raw, mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, roots and tubors, with some cold water fish, free range poultry and perhaps some occasional small portions of lean cuts of free range beef not subject to feed lot practices.

      A couple of tips on losing weight:

      First of all, eat slowly and chew each bite thoroughly. Up to 50 chews per bite. You will get more benefit from the nutrients from the food you do eat and you will also allow you body's natural signal of being full to kick in sooner (it normally lags behind, which you can prove by eating say 1/3 less than normal at a meal and quit while still feeling full - only to find that you feel fuller half an hour or so later).

      Secondly, take a superior mullti-vitamin and mineral product such as IntraMax (available at Oasis Advanced Wellness for one) or Dr. Mercola's Whole Food Multivitamin Plus, which contains plenty of all the vitamins and minerals, including the oft-overlooked but essential trace minerals.

      Have you ever eaten and eaten and eaten and never felt satisfied? That could be from your body craving essential nutrients it is deficient in. So, no matter how much junk food, fast food, ice cream or whatever you think you are craving, you still find yourself wanting more because you are not giving your body what it wants.

      Here is noted alternative health figure Jon Barron's suggestion for a quick weight loss program:

      This is a great short term program (2-3 weeks at a time) for losing a quick 6-8 pounds. Anyway, for those of you who are interested, here's the program Jon Barron designed.

      Morning: 20 ounce glass of 50% fresh Orange Juice, 25% organic aloe vera juice, 25% filtered or distilled water. With nuts (5 almonds and 4 walnut halves).

      Midday: Tablespoon of flax oil along with a tablespoon of organic cottage cheese. Or 2 tablespoons flax seeds ground up and mixed with 1 cup diluted juice.

      4:30: Large (20 oz shake)

      2 tbs Accelerator from Baseline Nutrition

      1/2 banana

      Handful frozen organic strawberries or raspberries or half raspberries and blueberries

      1/2 cup pineapple coconut juice

      1 cup water

      6:00: One tbs psyllium powder in diluted juice.

      8:00: one apple, which will actually be quite filling

      As needed, throughout the day, Warp Speed.

      Obviously, you can substitute juices and fruit in the above menu as desired -- within reason. Keep in mind, berries work well because they are low glycemic fruits.

      Do this Monday and Tuesday.

      Eat normally on Wednesday (good proteins and vegetables -- avoiding refined grains, sugars, and starches). You never want to go more than two days in a row on a low calorie program in order to keep your metabolic rate up (more than 2 days in a row of low calorie and your metabolism begins to drop) and to reward yourself.

      Repeat shake days on Thursday and Friday.

      Repeat Wednesday's sensible meals on Saturday and Sunday.

      You'll lose weight rapidly on this program -- and feel really good in the process.

      Again, keep in mind this is a short term program for 2-3 weeks at a time. For more intensive weight-loss, you will have to go on a slower, more balanced, and more sustainable program.

      BTW, the suggestions to stop drinking soda, drink green tea and excersize more are all excellent ones.

    What is the best methods for weight loss?
    I have always been big but now I'm gaining more that I can handle. I've tried everything from taking diet pills, exercising daily, eating less, doing situps, walking, treadmill, no carbs, no meat, just salad, rice diet, water diet. EVERYTHING. I t just seems like I'm gaining more with everything I try. I'm looking into the fat flush thing they have out... Somebody help me lose this weight. I don't have money to join a gym and I don't have enough time to exercise with school, work, and taking care of my husband...I'm on a tight scedule.

    • ANSWER:
      Well since you don't have resources to join the gym, you might look into buying a workout tape. I know alot of people that have lost weight with Tae-bo. I wish i could give you a miracle diet. But in reality the key is CONSISTENCY. Do not give up if in the first 2 weeks you don't see any results and then endulge yourself in bad foods all over again. You have to start eating healthy. Its not about a diet, its about changing your lifestyle. Substitue white bread and rice for whole wheat bread and brown rice. Cook with olive oil instead of the other oils available. Drink alot of water. Eat about 3 meals a day and snacks in between. I've lost 11 pounds by doing this. It does take time, but you will see results. Also, you can join www.sparkpeople.com Its a 100% free website that only consist of people that are loosing weight. You can find meal plans, workouts that you can do at home, and a nutrition log. I am not advertising for them, but this website really has me motivated. I have 20 more lbs to go. So remember the 3 Keys:
      1. Its not a diet, its a lifestyle
      2. Work out, even if its 30mnts a day from home
      3. BE CONSISTENT AND DON'T GIVE UP

      GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

    Best weight loss methods?
    I'll be 20 years old next Wednesday and I'm 5'3. I'm an active person. I work 5 days a week. In January I decided that I needed to lose weight. I weighed 73.4 kg (161.8193 lbs). In 6 months I lost 25 lbs and went down 2 pants sizes. I have gained 3 lbs back and I now weigh 139.4 lbs. Since I'm short all of my weight seems to go to my butt, lower back, and legs. I can't seem to get rid of the extra jiggle on my inner thighs and lower back. Also, I don't have a big pudge in my stomach area but there is enough for me to be able to tell and be self soncious. I've worked hard to get the weight off that I have already but it seems that I have hit a spot where I can't lose anymore. I know that people hit plateau's and stay there a while before losing anymore weight - but I was wondering if there are any methods to kick starting the weight loss again? I'd like to lose between 10 and 15 more lbs and I'd be happy. My doctor said that's the ideal weight for my body type and height.

    • ANSWER:
      Have you tried weightwatchers or other diet pills?!?! but remember that diet pills and other chemical base to cut the fat out can be dangerous and might not work for you.So i recommend you to take pilates or aerobis classes to loose the jiggles in your butt area...if you could sign up for 24-hour fitness and before/after work,workout at least 2 times a week...change your diet if nessasary.Throw away anything that might be over the 2,000 cal. diet....cut off the sweets and eat more veges & fruit.

    Good weight loss methods?
    What are some good weight loss methods. This summer I plan on getting into the best shape of my life. Right now I am in the best shape of my life probably but I'm 175 pounds at around 5 feet and 10 inches. I wanna cut down to atleast 160 and make a lot of it muscle. Two summers ago I was around 210 and cut down to about 180. I've been on and off with gaining and loosing weight. Last summer till now I dropped down to as low as 160, but that was mainly because I got pretty sick for a few days.

    THE QUESTION LIES HERE:
    What should I do to reach my goal of this? I plan on running when I wake up in the morning. I'm also going to be doing training for soccer. Does anybody have tips on what I can do to lose the weight and gain muscle?

    • ANSWER:
      Exactly what you plan on doing. Everyone seems to think that muscle gain is magical. If you do cardio you WILL lose weight and if you lift you WILL gain muscle. Its as simple as that.
      The main thing is you do want to make up this huge workout schedule and not follow through with it. Start simple with running every morning. Once you can handle that and you want some more, you can bring in longer runs or longer lifting sequences. The biggest problem with people trying to lose weight is they want to do it as fast as possible so they end up making a schedule that is way to complex for them to handle so they stop working out within the first week. As long as you start small and keep at it, you will lose weight.
      Cardio + sweat = weight loss
      Lifting + calorie intake = muscle gain

  31. QUESTION:
    Proper Weight Loss Methods For Soccer..?
    Looking for proper weight loss methods for soccer, I currently weigh about 155lbs , 5'7. Looking to shape up mostly upper body, when I squeeze the skin on my legs I notice a big difference than in upper body (obviously because I play on soccer team and I use my legs more than anything mostly) .. Anyhow, I'm looking for a good nutrition plan + exercise regimen... I work at an office from 9-6pm so I currently workout before and after work and eat 3 meals a day (breakfast lunch dinner). I try to mix it up as much as I can in terms of weight training and my cardio conditioning.

    Any help is needed and welcome, thanks!

  32. QUESTION:
    What are some good exercise/weight loss methods?
    I have a desire to have a career in either criminal justice or Marine Corps Sniper (although I'd have to have laser eye surgery, which I heard gives eagle-eye vision even better than 20/20, at the moment I wear glasses and contacts, but both couldn't hold up to certain environments, and glasses won't even work with a scope lol; contacts irritate my eyes a lot).

    But anyway, now that you know what I want to be, I'd like to know of some weight loss methods. My mom has a treadmill I intend to work to death, and I can do anything by myself that doesn't require a machine (push-ups, sit-ups, etc.). I can probably get my brother's weights to benchpress and do arm weights for biceps, triceps, etc. I just want to basically know if there is a specific method I should use to lose some of my fat to get ready for a job that is physically demanding. I am currently 200 pounds, I used to weigh 180 in high school, now I am 20 years old. I am 6 feet tall, and saw that 150-170 was around the estimated range for my height, but muscle weighs more than fat, I want to lose fat and turn it into muscle so it's not really a "lose weight" only issue, because I would probably lose fat and weigh the same because I am pretty big dude, broad shoulders, etc., but it would be muscle instead of fat.

    Like, how often should I run on the treadmill, and is the treadmill even a good way to exercise healthily to lose weight? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      This is the fastest (healthiest) but not the easiest.
      First off, DO NOT take diet pills. They can do some serious harm to your heart. Plus they don't work & they're a waste of money.
      Here's what you do for quick weight loss plus you will feel better:

      Cut out all breads, pasta, cookies, cereals, crackers, chocolate, sweets, icecream, cakes, pizza, all fast food etc...basically anything made from flour & away from sugar. They are all called simple carbs. They are carbs which leave us hungry for more & that's what makes us fat. Go on a "gluten free" diet...You will lose weight & not gain if you're careful to eat correctly.
      We need to have complex carbs. (fruits, veggies, salads, protein.) Have lots of fruits & veggies.
      If you want a snack like crackers or something...go buy gluten free rice cakes from health food store. Snack on 1 or 2 a day. The only sweet you can have is maybe a tbsp of honey on a rice cracker. Just don't have more than one.
      Also you can buy gluten free flour from the health food store & make your own bread.
      Make sure you have ahead of time (like night before) cut up carrot sticks to munch on the following day. You can put lemon on them for more taste.
      Avoid cold cut meats. No ham, sausages, mortadella, salami, pepperoni, etc...If you can, stay away from dairy products...believe it or not:dairy makes us fat too...like a cow.
      By doing this...you will lose lots of weight.
      I'll give you an example of what to eat okay.?

      breakfast: 1 banana & 1 kiwi or orange
      cup of coffee or tea (no milk or sugar)
      drink 2-3 glasses of water

      lunch: grilled chicken or turkey breast(portion should be the size of your palm) w/ some lemon squeezed on it...mmm I like lemon
      romaine lettuce salad, tomato, grn onions, grated carrot, radish & whatever other green you like in there. Dressing should be balsamic vinegar or wine vinegar w/ olive oil.
      stay away from ketchup, mayo & bbq. sauce

      or you can have stir fried veggies w/ rice...also very good. You can eat rice but not pasta.

      snack:14 walnut halves or 20 almonds
      a fruit
      lots of water
      some tea

      dinner: hamburger or fish w/ brocolli or spinach
      you can have 1 or 2 rice crackers (or save them before bedtime)
      lots of water
      cup of chamomile

      before bed: pray to the Lord to help you lose weight. To give you self control. Keep asking until you receive. The Lord hears you & loves you.

      The secret to success is to be "organized & committed".
      You should have your salad, greens & veggies washed & cut up the night before so it's ready to eat for lunch the next day.
      Make sure you have bought all your ingredients/food the day before.

      Take a multi-vitamin & calcium every day.

      It's not impossible to do...just believe you can do it.

      Don't forget to exercise, drink lots & lots of water & you will see results.

      they have a calorie counter, fitness tracker, exercise videos.

    Any weight-loss methods that work?
    I'm starting university in February next year, and I'd really like to lose about 44lbs by then (sounds like a lot but I have thick bones). Is there any diet that I can follow that will work by then? I know exercise will help me but is there any diet which will work without exercise?

    • ANSWER:
      To lose 44 pound in 5 months is attainable. But, with out exercise not advised. When you reduce your calories intake only; after a period of time your metabolism will just down shift to adapted to the lower energy intake.

      Find an activity that you enjoy. My niece lost 35 pounds over the summer before beginning law school. All she did was increase her intake of fruits and vegetables. She also would take her dog for long walks in the park.

      Losing weight is not easy. If that was the case more of us would be thin.

      I hope this helped. Good luck.

I found very few photos and answers or whatever on how people or what people do to lose weight so fast and so much and how its dangerous. Can anyone please help me on some methods people do to do that? Okay well thank you very much for you help.

    • ANSWER:
      There's fasting, binging and purging, excesive exercise, using laxatives, pica (eating things w/ no caloric value like paper)...and there's one that I heard about that I thought wasn't actually being done.

I'm not necessarily overweight (122 lbs, 5"5) but I would like to lose the last 8 lbs or so for summer!!

    Any "feedback" (no pun intended) would be well appreciated :)

    • ANSWER:
      For me, half the battle is the grocery store. All that yummy stuff just waiting to be bought!

      Use a list when you shop. Sticking to a list will help you avoid splurging on those snack chips.

      Keep your healthier snack foods closer to the front and eye level of your fridge. Hide the cookies and chocolates in the back near the bottom.

      Get a timer or a stop watch. When you feel hungry or have the munchies, set it for 5 to 10 minutes. When it goes off IF you still feel hungry then go grab yourself a (healhty) snack.

    Any tested possibilities will get credited in the book... I will pay particular attention to any that you yourself have tried (regardless of if they have worked or not!)

    Cheers!

    • ANSWER:
      Diets don't work. Lifestyle changes do work.

      I'd love to contribute information and experience if you are providing sound guidance to your readers. Make sure to read books by Dr. Dean Ornish for some excellent scientific research on diet. Often, money-making diets are based on speculation rather than scientific research. We are in a profit-driven culture.

      There are many wacky diets out there including some that work (like food combining). This works because you are forced to choose your foods carefully. Read the book "Fit for Life" by the Diamond for information about his less conventional approach.

      The most boring approach is probably the most effective. It's is a low fat vegetarian diet as recommended by Dr. Dean Ornish (a heart specialist). His diet helps prevent high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, some cancers, and Type II diabetes.

      I've had remarkable luck with the following which is my own adaptation:

      + Eat whole grains, brown rice, beans, vegetables, and fruit. Make sure to get a little oil through some vegetarian source like nuts or avocado. Otherwise, minimize fats/oils.

      + Control portion sizes by keeping track of calories. I just keep track in my head. This is a lifestyle change, not a temporary fix. If you eat too few calories or too many calories, this will hurt your diet. Remember that humans evolved through periods of feast and famine. Those who retained body fat during feasts survived. Today, we are in perpetual feast mode and our genetics have not adapted to this.

      + For health, get 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise every day. Look up "aerobic exercise" and "heart rate."

      + For body shape, free weights are great. "Body for Life" is very helpful for body toning exercises. I'd ignore the diet part of this book.

      + Avoid excitotoxins like MSG or aspartame. MSG is fed to laboratory rats to make them fat. These substances have caused neurological damage to laboratory animals. Monsanto is evil (but you cannot publish that fact).

      + Minimize fats (vegetable and animal sources), sugars, refined carbs, milk, meat, and processed foods. Small quantities occasionally are OK. Milk in US usually contains genetically modified bovine growth hormone. Milk is not the best source of calcium, in fact, the proteins can deplete calcium from bones in adult humans. Milk has been linked to childhood diabetes as well. Milk is totally unnecessary for a healthy diet and many people believe dairy is unhealthy (allergies, calories, and intolerance, fats, and proteins).

      The problem is that the most profit can be found by selling the cheapest product that tastes the best. The short-cut are "natural flavors" which are toxic (excitotoxins), refined carbs, and also fats and salt. These make cheap food products that are very tasty and very profitable.

      The truth about food is obscured by heavy handed industry money machines. That includes wackos like the Atkins money machine.

    Diet/weight loss methods that work for a toned core?
    Hey everyone!! just curious to find out some good work outs that tone the core area, part. the abs. Any ideas to firm up those thighs? Thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Why toning is a myth
      "I really need to get toned up." I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that. You've probably said it a million times...heck, I've said and I even know better. What I'm talking about is the idea of 'toning' your body. Most people think that toning means getting more definition and firmer muscles. And how do you get more definition? By doing more reps with lighter weight, of course! But what you may not know is that this idea of toning the muscles is only a myth.
      What 'Toning' Really Means

      So what is toning? The word tone simply describes the state of your muscles. When at rest, your muscles are in a constant state of partial contraction in order to be ready for action. The 'tone' of your muscles is involuntary, so you can't change it by lifting weights a certain way.

  45. QUESTION:
    What is your opinion about bulimia as a weight loss method?
    I'm not planning on using it, don't worry, but I'm doing a research paper about its methods, and I'd like to use Yahoo Answers as a source. Please be honest!!! Thanks for your help :)

    • ANSWER:
      Bulimia does not help you lose weight. If you know many bulimics, then you know that most bulimics are either at a normal weight or are over overweight.

      Even though you most likely won't lose weight, you will lose your hair, teeth, bone density, and most, if not all, of your friends.

      Is food poisoning a method of weight loss?? No, it is an illness, just as bulimia is. Bulimia Nervosa is a recognized psychiatric illness. It is unhealthy to say the least and if left untreated, can be fatal.

    When this article talks about nutritious meals... can i substitute that with a Lean Cuisine meal? Or is there something else that could work quicker?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Prunes are primarily famous for being a laxative due to the fact they are rich in fiber. It's this same important component that makes them best for healthy eating and keeping your hunger to a minimum.

      Whether or not you might be trying to lose weight or just maintain a healthy way of life, prunes can prove beneficial.

      you still have to eat other healthy foods and exercise.not jsut prunes.

  47. QUESTION:
    Quick Weight Loss Methods ?
    can anyone tell me if its possible to lose weight quite quickly without using any kind of pills or anything? if so, what methods can be used to do so ?

    • ANSWER:
      Losing weight quickly is not safe. In order to do so, an exceptionally low calorie diet would be necessary, but of course I refuse to tell you the secrets! In order for you to lose weight at a safe rate, you need to eat less and move more.

      If you are one of those lazy ones who refuse to exercise, then at least just eat less! Reduce your calorie intake to 1500 calories. You'll lose a few pounds a month.

      It might not be quick, but it's safe!

  50. QUESTION:
    My friend is 50 - 60 pounds overweight. Any suggestions on proven weight loss methods ? No rude answers pls.
    She is vegetarian and is unable to do much exercise as she gets tired in no time. She is often depressed and this is only worsening her condition. Nothing seems to be motivating her. I call her everytime I go to the gym. Sometimes she comes, sometimes she doesn't. She can't control her eating habits either. We are neighbours and when we chat for hours she forgets all about food. Sometimes we do shopping and stuff together, when she is happy to eat rabbit food (I mean salads and fruit) and nothing else. I can't take her often. She doesn't like going by herself. How can I help ? Can you suggest some diet or program that will help shed pounds quickly so she can get started on losing weight. Once she looses 10-15 pounds, I'm sure her life will improve.

    PS - she has a hypothyroid condition

    • ANSWER:
      i have hypothyroidism too. i am also bipolar so i can get really depressed, i suggest she talk to a psychiatrist about anti-depressants or mood stabilizers.

      a good diet that is used by overwieght patients about to undergo surgery is the soup diet. it is very good if prepared right and the actual meal afterwards will taste like the best thing in the world. here is the link -

      http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/recipe.html

      incase you cant get to the link, this is the recipe:

      6 large green onions
      2 green peppers
      1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
      3 Carrots
      1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms
      1 bunch of celery
      half a head of cabbage
      1 package Lipton soup mix
      1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
      1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)
      Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.
      Directions:

      Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.

      Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.

      Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.

      Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot.

      Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot.

      If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

      You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need.

      Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

      Day One:
      Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

      Day Two:
      Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

      Day Three:
      Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

      Day Four:
      Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

      Day Five:
      Beef And Tomatos: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomtoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

      Day Six:
      Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

      Day Seven:
      Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

      some of the veggies, such as the mushrooms, are optional and since your friend is vegetarian, she can substitute the steak for a few boca burgers or meatless chicken, turkey, etc. anything with lots of protien and low fat content. if she is not already on a medication for her condition, i highly reccomend she talk to her doctor. i am on synthroid (which i think is generic, but im not sure) and it really helps me not be so tired all the time. CURVES also helped me a lot. the music they play is very motivating and the people are very friendly. if shes not into that kind of music, she can listen to her mp3 or ipod.

      GOOD LUCK!

      p.s. yoga also burns mega calories and requires little movement.
