if you work out and build muscle you will burn fat. building muscle helps with your metabolism which will help with burning fat :) and this theory has been proven time and time again. good luck\n\nThe human body is a funny thing. It's VERY ADAPTABLE for survival. So when you give it less food, the result is a slow metabolism for survival purpose. That's why it is important to take a break (but stay in control of your food intake) from your diet and focus on eating healthy, balance meals with exercise. This will prevent your metabolism from getting too slow.\n\nHundreds and thousands of years ago, when eating was a matter of survival, the body would protect itself by slowing down the rate it burned calories (lower metabolism) to maintain weight. In modern society, we have the opposite problem of too much food, temptation and consequent weight gain.\n\nOur body is designed for survival and less food is a threat to it's survival. You must control a slow increase or decrease of food to successfully lose weight and keep it off. If you stop eating or skip meals, your metabolism will come to a SCREECHING HALT. \n\nIf you maintain a control and balance diet, you will lose weight but your body's metabolism will finally adapt and slow down. That's why we need to take a break from dieting. If you give up and SUDDENLY start eating \nback to your pre diet intake, you may quickly gain weight because of a low metabolism.\n\nthis is why i recommend smaller more frequent meals.\nIncrease Your Metabolism Through Movement/ exercise/ walking at least 30 minutes helps boost it also.\nto answer you question truthfully, noone can give you an accurate # because all bodies are different. \nBUT if you eat more frequently so your body doesnt go ito survival mode and excercise then you are on the right track and if you can excercise in the morning that increases your metabolism for a while. the more you raise you heartrate the more of a boost your metabolism gets

There really isn't a healthy way to do that!\n\nIf it's water weight, you can try a diuretic to help... and of course, extreme diet & exersize might help.

Here are some tips:\n\n-Do moderate excercise everyday.\n-Try to avoid junk food\n-Find time to relax\n-Drink lots and lots of water, because this will wash out any toxins and fatty stuff that can accumalate and add weight\n-Do not oversleep; don't be slack and tired. Be as energetic as you can and this will help you lose weight and be positive about yourself\n-Smile as often as you can. Sure, it doesn't really help you lose weight; it just makes you look more nicer, and sometimes slimmer and prettier\n-Instead of 'dieting', eat as many fruits as you can till lunchtime, then eat veggies, bread and meat.\n-When you are seriously hungry, but it's not time for lunch or dinner, eat fruits. I know fruits can be repetitive and boring; but it can really help in cleaning your system, and because it contains high water content, it will reduce the amount of energy you eat, therefore less is converted to fat.

Water is great for putting on some temporary weight. Permanent weight gain is a matter of eating more calories than you burn each day. You can reduce your physical activity level if you lead a very active lifestyle, or try to eat bigger portions for your meals. \nI do not recommend pigging out daily on a tub of ice cream or some such fat gaining nonsense as you will develop serious health issues if you do so.\nLastly, go see a licensed health professional.

Why dont people give detailed answers here anymore and just give these one line answers?\n\nAnyways....here's the thing about rapid weight loss. Its severely unhealthy and the weight is almost always gained back with sometimes serious repercussions.  First it is extremely bad for your heart, stomach, and immune system.\n\nI will explain the way people lose a lot of weight within a week and then I will explain what i feel is the proper way to lose weight.\n\nThe following is what a lot of people do to lose weight but i find it to be very unhealthy and hazardous to your health.\n\n1. Take weight loss pills like dexitrim.\n2. Take laxatives like exlax.\n3. Do lots of bodywraps, which severly decrease water weight.\n4. Do methamphetamines (speed, tweek)\n5. Do herbal methamphetamines (phen phen (which is outlawed most places) and herbal phen phen which is still legal)\n6. Stop eating all together.\n7. Over exercise\n8. Exccesive use of steam rooms and saunas.\n\nAll of these can be very dangerous (look at Karen Carpenter who died like this), especially if several of the above are used together. The drastic loss or water weight, malnutrition, and use of drugs and/or supplements can prove to be lethal.\n\nWhat I would suggest is:\n1. A reasonable diet (small portions, high in protein, low in carbohydrates, starches, and fats and sugars.)\n2. Try a protein shake in the morning with blended fruit as a breakfast.\n3. Several small meals throughout the day and eat them slowly.\n4. If you are going to get bodywraps done or anything like that make sure you still keep hydrated.\n5. Movie stars have been known to get a high-colonic (enemma) before red carpet events as it does reduce alot of waste in your body thus decreasing weight.\n6. Do lots of cardiovascular excise but nothing too high impact. Stick with swimming, bicyling, and other low impact exercise.\n7. Take a vitamin supplement everyday like Centrum.\n8. Do not take laxatives or diet pills, or keep them to an absolute minimum if you are going to do it.\n9. Look into supplements that naturally speed up your metabolism without damaging your stomach or organs (ginseng is one).\n10.No matter what be realistic and reasonable with the amount of weight you feel you can lose in one week. A person should never fluctuate weight too drastically. Anymore than 15-20 pounds in a week I think would have severe consequences to your body.\n\nHope this helps....

Don't do it.\n\nI was put on 18 pills a day with a weight loss clinic, and it messed with my blood pressure. True weight loss doesn't come in a bottle. You need to do it yourself.\n\nTry Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig if you are really serious about this. Do NOT start on the pills--once you are on them, you won't be able to stop. Why? Once you stop, all the weight comes back. You are on a lifetime of pills that could mess up your body.\n\nJust eat in moderation and exercise. That's all.

Here are some great weight dropping tips!\n\nEating Tips\n\nGood things come in small packages. Here's a trick for staying satisfied while still keeping portions under control: Cut high-calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you're getting more than you actually are.\n\n\nDon't give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don't cut them out of your diet completely. Just use low-fat sour cream or mayo instead of the full-fat stuff.\n\n\nGet water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high-calorie snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. Add some zest with a twist of lemon or lime.\n\n\nHerb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavor to foods without adding fat or calories.\n\n\nSlim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top. Skim it off the surface for reduced fat content.\n\n\nDoggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants, ask the server to put half your entrée in a doggie bag before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practice portion control.\n\n\nListen to your cravings. If you're craving something sweet, eat something sweet — just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high-calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings — for example, try air-popped popcorn with soy sauce instead of high-fat tortilla chips. It's just smart substitution!\n\n\nEase your way into produce. If you're new to eating lots of fruits and veggies, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile veggies on top of your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.\n\n\nLook for high-fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high-calorie entrees? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.\n\n\nDon't multitask while you eat. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't be paying attention to what's going into your mouth — and you won't be enjoying every bite. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.\n\n\nTaste something new. Broaden your food repertoire — you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable. (Ever had jicama, plantain, bok choy, starfruit or papaya?)\n\n\nLeave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you feel satisfied eating just a bit less.\n\n\nGet to know your portion sizes. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating. Don't just estimate things — make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.\n\n\nMake a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthful counterparts. Find a substitution that works for you: Use skim milk instead of whole milk; make up a batch of brownie mix with applesauce instead of oil; try a whole-grain bread instead of white.\n\n\nBring lunch to work. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and fast-food joints, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).\n\n\nHave some dessert. You don't have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free — be sure you're practicing portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.\n\n\nAsk for what you need. Tell your mother-in-law you don't w

Exercise and start calorie counting. Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good. If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

1. A safe level and effective level of weight loss that is about 1-2 pounds per week.. More than that could be unhealthy is is usually not lasting. Look to make lasting changes in your diet and lifestyle, then you will keep the weight off.  \n2. The only way to lose weight is to take in fewer calories that you burn. There is no secret to it. You can do this by dieting to lower your calorie intake, exercise to increase it, or a combination of both. Depending on your current activity level, even adding some walking into the schedule can help.\n3.  Muscle weighs more than fat but is more compact.  Adding muscle may make you look slimmer, and the muscle burns more calories at rest than fat so it can keep you slimmer.\n4. There are many effective diet programs that you can follow on your own or join. These programs do a few things: they can help educate you on proper nutrition; they help you control portions and calorie intake; and, they usually require you to keep a record of your eating behavior. Find one that is comfortable for you if you think it will help, or do it on your own.\n5. Writing down everything you eat over a few days can be very helpful in terms of identifying your problem areas.\n6 There are some helpul resources available from the US Government, including suggested diet and a calorie tracker that allows you to evaluate your food intake for calories and nutrients, and compare it to the calories that you burn through daily activities. I have some articles on my website as well. Links are shown below. \nGood luck!

There is no magic pill for weight loss your best bet is to just change your lifestyle...if you like chocolate eat a mini-hershey bar a week instead of a big one...so on and so forth until you are eating healthier foods and yet don't feel like you can't eat what you like. Park in the back of the parking-lot at Wal-Mart....and burn five or six extra calories walking to the door. Little changes make a big difference

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 for weight loss: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \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 - multigrain 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. 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 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

there is no such thing as dropping that much weight "quickly." (of course, it really depends on what you mean by "quickly.") not least because crash diets don't work. it is a known fact that crash dieting can throw your metabolism out of whack, and it makes it far more likely that you will gain it all back and then some. (dieting makes you fatter in the long run.) \n\nthe best choice is your good diet plus as much aerobic exercise as you can manage. what errands can you do by walking instead of driving? or what about biking? here's what i would do:\n\n1. walk or bike to work or school, if at all remotely possible. do errands by that method as well, even if it means you have to drive home, and THEN do the errand. \n\n2. any time you're watching tv, make a rule that says you have to be exercising in some fashion. \n\n3. do stairs. running up and down the stairs is a convenient way to get exercise. take the stairs anywhere you might otherwise take an elevator. \n\n4. eat three sensible meals every day. no snacks unless they're fruit or veggie. NO junk food at all. if you can stand it, drop all meat and dairy products. vegans are almost never fat. \n\n5. get at least 40 minutes of aerobic exercise Every Day. \n\ni know you asked about diet. but diet alone is not enough. the only way to lose weight and keep it off is to make your diet permanently healthy and to get enough exercise.\n\n---\nand to add: the suggestion of "try bulimia" (throwing up, taking laxatives) is horrifically irresponsible. not only is it addictive, it ruins your teeth, can cause serious stomach and esophagus problems, and DOESN'T WORK. bulimics mess up their ability to process food in healthy ways, which eventually, if they don't want to DIE, means they end up getting fat. it can lead to permanent, irreversible damage to your body.
