That's only about 600 or 700 calories and not healthy to be doing for 14 consecutive days.  Why don't you try the following for two days instead?...\n\nEat only fruit and veg (except bananas, beans, peas and corn) and as much as you want.  You can even have stir fry veg in a little olive oil or salad with a little dressing.  Also, make yourself a big pot of vegetable soup and include cabbage and celery in it.  Do not drink any alcohol.  Drink lots of water, unsweetened tea/juice or herbal tea.  You will lose 2lb each day and will also be detoxing your body.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

YES AND IT SUCKED. I very STRONGLY advise you not to use diet pills in general, but Trim Spa I think is one of the worse ones. I tried it once and it made me sick for about a day. They say that the feeling only lasts for a day or so, and then you get used to it, but that is obviously not natural. If your body has a bad reaction then it's obviously not healthy for you in any way. Medications effect people differently however, and some people have felt no complications at all. But why take the risk of feeling bad and/or the obvious risk diet pills have for your health anyway? The best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat right, sorry to break it to you. But it's really not so hard to eat better once you start exercising. Exercise is the first step, and your exercise doesn't have to be as strenuous as some people say it is. It can actually be fun if you just find some way to make it fun for you and find a way to stick to it. You have to believe in yourself and know you have the power, and know you're WORTH it. You are strong. I am currently going to Curves, and surprisingly it's not that expensive and it's a pretty easy and very effective workout! I only pay 29$ a month. All in all it's great! Just a suggestion, if you're a woman that is...wow, this was a rather long answer on my part :)!

If you are talking SHORT TERM, this two-week-long weight loss program will work. It has worked for me, for Renee Zellweger (after her Bridgett Jones movies) and for many others who need fast weight loss. Follow these steps religiously:\n\n1.Drink lots of fresh water every day using this formula: (your current weight) divided by 2 = ounces of water to consume each day. I like to drink room temperature water from a bottle because it’s easier to “chug.” I put four of the bottles on the kitchen counter and make sure they are all empty by the end of the day. Best to consume them throughout the day.\n\n2.Don’t drink any alcohol of caffeine. No soft drinks. Only green teas. REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY 14 DAYS. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR GOAL.\n\n3.Fast walk or run for at least 60 minutes each day. It’s best to exercise in the morning since it will rev up your metabolism and keep our calorie-burn rate high throughout the day. You can do this by walking in place, using a treadmill, or walking outside. Whatever works for you.\n\n4.Do at least 50 crunches each day. I break mine into 2 or 3 different sessions. Also, if I need to do 20 crunches, I play a little trick with my mind and I “pretend” I am going to count to 25. It’s amazing how this helps the body get to all of the crunches with the same intensity.\n\n5.Eat only fresh vegetables! This is the key to the whole thing. Eat as many as you want, but DON’T eat any of the following: starchy vegetables including potatoes, squashes, pumpkins, and the like. They will work against you. Limit carrots, snow peas, and other veggies that are high in sugar content. NO GRAINS. Just fresh vegetables. You can eat salads, stir-fries, steamed, etc. But this is at the heart of your success.\n\n6.Don’t eat anything after 7:00 p.m.\n\n7.Put photographs (from magazines) up all over your house of trim, fit women. They will serve as motivators.\n\n8.Several times each day – especially when you first get up and when you go to bed, say something like: “I am enjoying my weight of (your goal weight).” Put it in the present tense and say it many times – with feeling! This will affect your subconscious mind to help you achieve your goal. Also, post these words in the same places where you post the photographs.\n\nAlso, don’t be surprised if you start feeling better than you have felt in a long time. You will have more energy, most aches and pains will be gone, and your whole body will look brighter. One warning, early on your elimination will be a little “urgent.” You may have some cramping. But this will all go away soon. Your body is in a deep cleanse.

This diet has worked great for me. My Dr. recommended the Medifast Diet. It teaches you to eat 5-6 Small meals a day, every 2-3 hours to speed up your metabolism and you lose weight quickly and healthy with very little exercise. I lost 26 lbs. so far. I can give you the number and stuff. Just e-mail me at lovejae247@yahoo.com

have you been eating more?  How long are you working out? and hour? half hour? Remember first that muscle weighs more than fat does..really...most adults should strive for 30 minutes of exercise everyday..to loose weight you'll need to increase your cardio and decrease your caloric intake..lost 22 pounds this summer...was really strict w/calories..no junk, no mid am snack, mid pm snack was steamed veggies, reminded myself that it was okay to be hungry, and worked out 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 60  minutes, more like 90 minutes a day...drank tons of water and iced tea..it worked but it was hard work...you can do this..have an epiphany to change your life and embrace good health

If you need a quick fix, you can try Jay Robb's Fruit Flush 3 - day Detox. I just started it yesterday and I've lost 3 lbs. Supposedly, you can lose up to 9 lbs on it. Pretty much the first day, you just drink a protein shake every 3 hours and it can't contain any of the bad stuff like sucralose or aspartame. The next two days you just have a serving of fruit every two hours. For each 3 nights at 6 pm you have a raw veggie salad with olive oil and some lime. I don't know if you classify that as crazy. I haven't starved or anything since i'm eating every two hours.

I lost alot of weight after trying many diets...I don't like the fad diets, they work for a bit, but aren't the best...your best option would be to eat healthier every day.  I lost about 54lbs...here is my before and after pic http://www.healthandstrength.net\nThis is what I did!\n1. NEVER EVER ate sugar. It's a poison that makes us older, sicker, fatter and tired...all things we dont want. Seriously, sugar is the one who does the dirty work in weight gain. Stop eating it all together. You can see my list of ingredients to avoid when shopping here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweeka.htm...\n2. Drink ALOT of water. 2-3 liters a day. The more the merrier!  We need about half our body weight in ounces JUST for regular body functions!  When you feel thirsty, that means you are already dehydrated and lose brain function.  Water flushes toxins from your fat cells and keeps you younger.\n3. Exercise!!! So very important. Here http://www.healthandstrength.net/abexe.htm... are my favorite ab exercises.  I also do cardio 4-5 days a week for about 30 minutes a time.\n4. Eat less. How many calories do you think is in that burger or that plate of fries or in that handful of chips. What about overfilling our plates? If you go here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm... I wrote something about saving on calories and losing weight.\n5. Go to sleep before 10pm. Your body starts repairing and rebuilding and speeding up weight loss while you sleep only if you sleep at about 10pm. If you are awake and go to bed at 12, you miss out on that very important time.\n6. BE POSITIVE. Be thankful every day and love yourself\n7. BE CONSISTANT! That I think is the KEY to losing weight. So what if you went a week and only lost a pound...or didnt lose any...KEEP going. DON'T stop. This is a lifelong commitment, so stick to it and one day you will open your eyes and need a new wardrobe!\n8. Eat more veggies and skinny friendly foods. I have my list of my top ten foods that I ate to lost weight here http://www.healthandstrength.net/tenfoods.htm...\n80% veggies at every meal including breakfast will keep you young and help you lose weight. \n\nGood luck! And have fun, it's a great way to live

They don't work but this does: If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

Hey, we are on the same page. I'm 5'3'' and I weigh 125. I used to weigh 107...so I need to lose 18 pounds. I know this sounds crazy.....but I lose weight by eating one meal a day. I'll snack on fruits and veggies only. Limit your calorie intake. Your body burns about 10 times your weight. So right now, your burn about 1,140 calories in a day. There are 3000 calories in a pound. Slowly cut back your intake. I lost 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months doing this. Try eating about 500 calories a day. then youll burn about 600 calories a day + whatever excercise you do. But always snack on healthy foods throughout the day or else your metabolism with slow. NO SODAS.FRIES.CANDY! limit your bread and pasta/rice intake as well.

Yes, I did. However, it never works for me. Even though I work out 5 times a week, and the duration for very exercise  is 2 and half hours. (I only have 1000 Cal per day ) and divided into 6 meals....

Hiya!  Ok over the last 6 months I lost 45lbs.  I researced the web over looking for the easy answers. But it comes back to age old news.. Nutrition and exercise.  I chose a low fat diet, much like a diabetic's diet.  Lots of fruits and vegetables, and my special touch was diet green tea made by arizona tea which has ginsing which helps promote the metabolism.  I exercised 3x a week 30 min at curves just cardio.  Believe it or not you do not have to starve, just eat healty and eat in portions, and exercise.  Eating portions I think was very important. When I started portioning my food I really realized at that point how much I had been over eating. An example.. I love spaghetti, but an acutal portion is 1 cup.  Put one cup on your plate lol and look at the difference from your normal portion.  And I thought oh god I'm still going to be hungry. Not... I added a salad, with low cal dressing and 1 slice of bread no butter only garlic.  You can balance your meal. And not be hungry.  But I also believe that more mature women need exercise and putting in that 30 min 3 x a week really works.\nI also took a daily vitamin.. Try the new oil of olay ones it is a multi package of vitamins.  And I found that these do not make me hungry.

Here's some good news:you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight. It's all about changing your eating habits, not dieting. The first thing you need to remember is you don't have to necessarily give up the foods that you love. Moderation is the key. It's okay to eat bread. It's the biggest category on the food pyramid. You just need to eat whole grains instead. Brown rice instead of white rice, wheat bread instead of white, whole wheat muffins instead of sugary ccokies, pies, and cakes. Next and equally as important, water is your best friend. You should be consuming 64 oz(1 gallon)or more EVERY day. It sounds hard (and it really is)but doing it will really help flush the toxins out of your body. Third, remember to eat lots of fiber and protein. Going #2 EVERY day is super important. You should be going at least once a day but twice is preferable. The reason that most people get sick so easily is they are literally full of sh*t. Fecal matter is a breeding ground for bacteria and the longer it stays in your colon, the more harm it does. (I'm sorry if that's gross)Add more beans and leafy greens to your diet.That'll pretty much help with that. Lastly,sweets and fatty foods are not your friend. I know most women don't like to let go of the comfort foods like chocolate, ice cream, and cheesecake(that's my personal vice)but they don't help you reach your goal. It's important to remember one thing though: if you crave it, eat it. It's ok to indulge once and awhile (that means very little).If you've been good for 2 weeks and haven't had any sweets and want a chocolate bar, go ahead and eat one. If you don't reward yourself when you get the urge, it's likely that you'll overdo it when you finally decide you can't take it anymore. \n\nOne thing that helps also is portion size. You should eat a healthy balanced breakfast. I like to start the day with eggs, toast, a high-fiber cereal, and fruit. It's ok to eat a big breakfast. You've not eaten for 8 hours before and your body needs to be replenished. Lunch is usually something protein packed, like tuna or salmon and salad w/almonds. Then dinner is smaller: grilled chicken breast or baked fish and brown rice and some steamed veggie. I also have healthy snack during the day if I'm hungry like yogurt or fruit. Don't starve yourself, just be mindful of what you're eating. \n\nAnd I'm sure it goes without saying but exercise is very important. Some sort of cardio will help get your heart in good condition and the more you work out and stick with it, the more you'll grow to enjoy it.
