You should never strive to lose weight fast.  It's impossible no matter what people say.  If you lose more than 2 pounds in one week you are either a. losing water weight or b. losing muscle mass.  If it's water weight you won't continue to lose that way and if it's muscle mass you won't continue to lose that way either because you will be killing your metabolism.  Soo, my suggestion, if you're under say 200 lbs. cut calories back to NO LOWER than 1200 per day and start cardio exercise 30 min. a day.  That should result in weight loss of about 2 lbs. a week.  Eat WHOLE GRAIN bread, and lay of the fatty foods and sweets.  Fruit juice is just and bad as coke as far as sugar goes, so drink ice cold water.

Running is far more efficient. The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

The quickest way isn't always the best way or the right way for you.  Here are 3 different approaches that work:\n\n1) The quickest by far is surgery, of course.  Liposuction is fast and works wonders- but actual stomach reductions (stapling, bypass etc) have not only been proven effective for weightloss but also in reducing the chances you'll develop adult onset diabetes.\n\n2) Next fastest is to eat a diet of 80% natural fats and 20% protein, in 5 small portions, with a target of 1000 calories a day.  This is like eating a 2 oz bag of macadamia nuts, or 2 oz of egg salad or tuna salad as a complete meal, every meal.  It works- and for any significant amount of weight it's better than starvation.  More importantly the high fat content of the diet ensures that your body continues to produce the hormones you need to retain muscle tissue- so you lose fat pounds and not muscle pounds.\n\n3) Probably the best long term solution to lose weight and improve your health is to follow a light excercise routine several times per week, and to eat a diet that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index (that is- eat foods that are low in processed sugar and grains, preferring when you eat carbohydrates to try whole grains and natural sugars).

There are some that can help you lose weight fast, but are not good for your body at all. Diet pills are not a good choice when trying to lose weight. Simply changing your style of eating, like halving portions, or adding 3 glasses of milk a day will help lose weight quickly. I've lost 20 lbs in the last 3 months by diet and exercise, but even just changing your diet will do a lot. Talking to your doctor about what would work best for you is also a very important step in losing weight. There is probably a lot you can do besides taking a "magic pill" that is easier on your body and you.

Diet and Exercise is it.  There is no magical special way to take weight off quickly that will ever stick.  Go to mypyramid.gov and print off your own food guide pyramid.  This will tell you what and how much you should eat each day.  Eat a healthy diet consisting of 500 calories less than you need to sustain your current weight, and exercise enough to burn 500 calories each day.  This will enable you to lose 2 pounds each week.  Two pounds is healthy weight loss.  If you are very obese you can cut a few more calories and loose a little more each week and still have it be healthy.  Also, keep in mind as you loose weight you'll need to constantly adjust your diet.  The less you weigh the less calories you need to take in.

Well, if you are really serious about losing weight quickly, here are three easy steps you need to follow:\n\n1) Try a good cardio workout for about 30 to 45 minutes twice a day.  You can do this by running, biking, StairMaster, whatever you enjoy.  Keeping your heart rate up will help you burn calories and lose weight.\n  \n2) Strength training would also be a good idea, things like basic sit-ups, jumping jacks, deep knee bends, push-ups, some light weight lifting, etc.  These are activities that will help you build muscle, and muscle burns fat.  So, just do it!\n\n3) The third eat wisely!  Count calories and make sure you are not exceeding your recommended allowance.  Cut out all soda and sweets.  \n\n4) Drink plenty of fluid!  Doctor's recommend eight 8 oz. cups of water a day.  This is highly recommended if you are putting in the workouts described above.\n\nIf you can do these things religiously for a month, I am confident you will be able to lose 20 lbs or more in a month.  But you have to really dedicate yourself to it daily!\n\nBest of luck!

It is often better to lose weight over a longer period because, it really goes away. If you lose it fast, it comes back fast.\n\nAnyway, if you want to lose it fast .......... Weight loss is directly proportional to Energy burnt minus the food intake. You need to increase your burning of fat ..... walking briskly, jogging, aerobic excercises, playing a game like badminton, swimming, cycling or any of these for 45 minutes to 1 hour daily. Next reduce your intake. Some live on fruit juice, fruits and salads for a week or 10 days !!! Take a multi vitamin pill daily and drink lots of water.\n\nBetter to talk to a doctor if you are very young, very old or sickly type.\n\nMay God bless you. I know how tough it is to lose weight. Have a strong will power and start NOW !!!

Fast ways....eat how you normally do but during the first week take 2 bites less of everything. The next week 3 bites.....and so on...\n\nSecondly, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And park further out....Walk just a little faster. \n\nDance....if a song comes on you like...dance to it for 3 minutes or so. \n\nFinally, dont let yourself get frantic about losing weight. The stress only makes it harder.

I would suggest the Medifast Diet from take Shape fro Life. It is healthy and really easy to do. I lost 25 lbs. from it so far. It teaches you to eat 5-6 meals a day every 2-3 hours and you will lose weight quickly and healthy. I hope this helps.

DON'T !!!!!!!  QUICK weight loss only hurts you.\n\nLosing more than 3-5 pounds in the first week and 2 pounds a week aftr that, pretty much GUARANTEES that you will regain the weight (and each pound will be more likely to bring a new friend along with it, next time.)\n\nI know you feel desperate, but desperate attempts will lead to longterm regrets. Been there, done that, wrote the novel, GAINED the pounds to prove it. Then lost them by using the old tried-and-true. These really are the best steps to losing weight:\n\nEat lots of friuits and veggies, and when it comes to cabohydrates (grains, things made with flour or corn or sugar, etc.), eat only QUALITY calories. Read up on the "glycemic index". Get nice and familiar with it. This is how to make sure everything you do eat packs the most nutrition per calorie!\n\nAvoid junk, and especially anything fried. But have a reasonable portion of a treat once in a while so you won't feel totally deprived and go bingeing.\n\nBalance your carbs with a little protein, every time.\n(Protein slows down how fast your body burns through those carbs, so you don't feel hungry again as quickly, and your blood sugar stays more level so you don't get highs and lows that make you want to sleep or snack more.  You should have some kind of a meal or small snack every 3-4 hours from waking til evening, for the same reason - to keep your blood sugar levels constant and avoid the urge to binge)\n\nDon't eat for a couple of hours before bed.\n\nMake sure you get enough fibre, both the soluble and nonsoluble fibres. (Eat whole-grains, especially oat fibre.) Fibre fills you up, and has the added bonus of transporting toxins out of your system. This is especially important when losing much weight, since some fat-soluble toxins may be released into your system as fats break down. YOU MUST balance fibre intake with fluid intake. That's very important!\n\nExercise 30-60 minutes a day, 3-5 days a week. (Walking is highly under-rated. If it gets your breathing and heart rate elevated, it's good enough!)\n\nStrengthen your muscles through weight training or yoga. (Stronger muscles burn more calories even when you're at a 'resting' heart rate.)\n\nAnd hey....be your body's best friend. It does a lot for you - judge it more on all the cool stuff it can DO, than what you think it should look like - fads in 'ideal' body shape have changed throughout history and according to culture. \n\n(I've also learned from looking back on old photos and remembering what I thought about myself at those times in my life, that what the song says is really true - you are NOT as fat as you think you are.)

You can't lose it quickly. You must gradually change your eating habits and excercise habbits. give your body some time to adjust to the changes and you will lose the weight much faster than you normally would lose it. Actually your body burns 12 calories per pound of body weight for each day. So to figure out how many calories you need for each day you must multiply your weight by 12. Choose wisely the foods you eat and how much you do eat. If you do want to loose weight just simply eat less that the amount of calories you need in a day. Many people think you must excercise to lose weight but you cannot lose weight by just simply excercising. You must have a well balanced diet and eat less than the amount of calories you need in a day to lose weight. While you cannot lose weight by excercising alone it does speed up the process while adding more muscle mass because the muscles burn more calories.

A good meal plan to follow and lose weight quickly is the following:\n\n1) Drink 8 glasses of water/ day. Preferably 2 glasses before meals and the rest in between...or whatever works for you.\n\n2) Eat daily three portions of protein. I myself prefer to eat vegetarian protein rather than animal based protein. \n\nFor breakfast eat:\n2 eggs or 1 cup cottage cheese\n2 slices of whole wheat toast\n1 fruit\n2 glasses of water\nsome kind of fat--if you are not allergic to nuts, eat 8 almonds.\n\nSnack\nYou can eat a fruit or a cup of low fat yogurt\n\nLunch\nEat a salad with 1 cup of cucumbers, 1 cup of lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes or whatever vegetable all 1 cup, except for carrots--only 1/4 cup.\n4 slices of vegetarian bologna or a chicken breast\n2 slices of whole wheat bread\nno juice--you may drink iced tea with lemon.\n\n2nd Snack\nanother fruit\n(when snacking stay away from chips, chocolates--if you feel the need to eat something chocolaty, eat a cup of chocolate pudding (Huntz or Jello) if you want chips buy Quaker products, like rice cakes or rice tortilla chips. They are low fat, but very tasty!!!)\n\nDinner\nIncorporate whatever you like, but remember that your plate must be divided into 30% protein, 30% fat and 40%carbohydrates. A typical dinner would be 1 chicken breast, salad and 1/4 cup brown rice.\nIced tea.\n\nSnack 3\n1 cup of popcorn or a glass of milk.\n\nFollow this plan for a week and you'll see the difference =)\nBest regards.

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.

Be VERY careful when trying to lose weight fast.  It is terribly bad for you to lose any more than 4 lbs a week.\n\nTo lose weight, you must exercise a LOT!  In addition, you should eat more than 3 times a day, but only tiny portions.  Maybe a half a fruit and some nuts.  Stay away from high fat items like mayonaise, cheese and fatty meats.  Eat fish, lean chicken or turkey, and PLENTY of vegetables.\n\nDon't forget to exercise every day.  Don't overdo it or you will burn yourslef out.
