Cut down on portions.  Make it a rule to leave a meal satisfied, but not full.  Increase your exercise.  Its my opinion that you need a certain amount of exercise to trigger weight loss.  But I'm not an expert.

Eating healthy, SMALL meals about 5 times a day.  and NO SODAS.  LOTS and LOTS of water.\n\nDo this and exercise about 30 min 3 to 4 times a week, and you will not only lose weight, but your HEALTH will improve DRAMATICLY.

1. Start with a positive attitude.\n2. Research and access your body to see if you really need to lose weight or just tone up.\n3. Have a realistic goal. Aim for 1-2 lbs. per week.\n4. Set up a basic diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats and a little dairy. Drink lots of water. Decide on how many calorires you need in a day and try to stay within the max....but at least eat 1200 to 1400 a day.\n5 Set up an exercise program...walking is good. Do this daily or every other day.\n6. Add in some weight bearing exercises to help tone up your muscles.\n7. Only weigh yourself once a week or once a month. Don't get caught up in the numbers... \n8. Don't give up.\n\nBottom line: you have to burn more calories than you take in.

The best diet is a well-rounded diet.  Ignore the fad diets (like Low Carb!!) which are here today gone tomorrow (with your money!).  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and moderate amounts of fat.  Take in fewer calories than you use and you will lose weight.  That doesn't sell many books, but it works.

Ok, now if you really want to get rid of some weight (note I did not say "lose" because we have a little thing about trying to find stuff we lose)the basic idea is to burn more calories than what is being put in.  Lots of activity and less burgers, fries, etc.

It's really not healthy to lose a lot of pounds quickly.  Your best bet to lose weight & keep it off is to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.  Doing regular aerobic exercise and weight training along with eating a sensible low fat (lots of fruits & vegetables) diet will get you on your way.  You can get free workout plans and diet info at about.com in the fitness section and at fitrex.com.

The best and only way in my opinion to lose weight is to work out and eat fewer calories based on your bodies needs (fitwatch.com has a calculator to figure that out).  I have lost 38 pounds since January by reducing my caloric intake and working out at least 6 days a week.  It seems like it would be overwhelming but it's all about making a lifestyle change. The best tool i have found is calorie king.  It has the nutrition breakdown for any and every food including restraunts - very useful. Self is also very useful, the magazine is very motivating and has great tips.  Online you can join the body makeover challenge and it has great tools too.

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.

I've been trying to lose weight and the best way I have found is with Weight Watchers.  You can eat and eat what you want.  It's simple and it also promotes a more healthy style of eating.  I have found also that the weight stays off.  Another good way to lose the wieght is walk...walk walk walk!!\nYou would be surprised how much you will drop.  And drink water...sip it all through the day...you'll melt away in no time!

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!

The easiest most healthiest way to lose weight fast is to go on a fruit and vegetable, salad, and soup diet. Most of these foods are considered negative calories, calories that get burned up in your digestive system. \n\nAlong with this, excercise!

The best answer to weight loss is something that you (and almost all of America) do not want to hear; The best way to lose wieght is to simply excercise, I'm not try to be rude and you may excercise already. However a key part is knowing whether or not you are healthy. If you are healthy and merely trying to lose weight for apperance then you are hurting your body. Your body know what it wants, trust it from time to time and you may just realize that it knows best when it comes to food. If you are hungry eat, that is the way it is meant to be. Now there are exceptions to the rule like there is with anything, people that overeat and still don't fill satisifed have a genuine problem that they need to consult their doctor about. Unless you are one of these people then I would suggest eating regularly and excercising, it's the best thing you can do to be healthy.

Try increasing your mileage in your runs.  Running is a great way to lose weight.  Start off by increasing 1/4 of a mile every 2 weeks.
