dangerous diets that work fast! What are some examples?

Anything that moves away from a balanced diet has some risks.  Eliminating all carbs keeps you from processing your other food but it does help avoiding putting on new weight.\n\nI wish I could just eat less but I have a food addiction.

There is no such thing as a "good" diet to lose weight fast. Any diet that tells you you can lose weight fast is both unhealthy for you and you will probably gain the weight back (and more) when you finish it. \n\nA better plan is a life style change. Start eating healthy and exercise. You won't lose it fast, but once you get to where you want, you can continue on and should not gain it back. You should set a goal of losing 1 to 2 lbs a week.

Over 50 years of scientific evidence in the peer reviewed literature proves that...DIETS DO NOT WORK.  The caloric theory of diet has been a miserable failure.\n\nIf you were a doctor instead of a jackass, you would know that and know why.  Human beings aren't machines.  Intake does not equal output.  We are complex, SELF-REGULATING, biological systems.\n\nOnly slashing intake of food to unreasonable levels has any discernable impact over the short term (ie under a year).  That cannot be maintained for very long and the person rapidly gains the weight back and more.  The reason they gain back more is your metabolism immediately reduces in response to starvation (especially starvation of protein).  Also, the weight is lost first from your muscle mass.  Muscle is the most biologically active tissue and is responsible for most of your metobolism.  Reducing muscle vastly reduces your caloric output.  If you eat the same diet with less muscle mass, you gain fat.  Simple as that.  Yo-yo dieting (the ONLY type of dieting people who go on diets engage in) not only doesn't work for reducing weight....it makes you fat.\n\nSo.  What does work?  A healthy diet.  The other side of the coin is someone who makes poor food choices gets fat for a variety of complex reasons.  Whole books have been written on the specifics but they don't matter.  What matters is that, healthy diet works, when engaged in as a permanent lifestyle change.  Get most of your calories (amount does not matter) as meat and most of your bulk as fresh fruits and vegetables.  Drink only water.  Only eat whole grains and those in strict moderation (there are problems with grains).  Don't eat fish...it's contaminated (however, a pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplement is very helpful for a healthy diet).  Don't eat junkfood, fast food, processed food (pasta, tofu, most vegetable oils sugar, flour, MSG, aspartame etc.) etc.  Do have olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, in reasonable quantities.  Eat butter in moderation.  Use salt with moderation (consider eliminating it as a condiment though).  That's a healthy diet and the only diet that will cause permanent weight loss.  It works by eliminating unbalanced, unnatural, non-food, foods that are the cause of obesity (over eating is definitely NOT the cause of obesity).  Also.  Stay the hell away from vegetarianism.  It is unhealthy and makes you fat.  It is downright dangerous when done incorrectly.\n\nExercise is helpful.  However, most aerobic exercise is worthless.  Engaging in 15 minutes of light aerobic exercise does help....but that is the maximum benefit people get from that.  In order for more benefit, you need to do high intensity exercise (HIT ).  If you want that, get a book and study up on it and use a heart monitor. But, for losing weight, it's weight training you want to engage in.  The more muscle you put on, the less fat you will have, is the bottom line.  Also, you can trim fat off of problem areas by building muscle there (the effect is hormonal).

Fad diets DO work.  In fact everything you state DOES work.  Here's everything there is to know about the entire subject in a nutshell lol!  Print it out or something!\n\nAvailable heat energy is turned into work (meeting the demand for activity) or else stored as fatty deposits around the body.\n\nHeat energy is measured in kiloJoules or KiloCalories, and a good way of finding out what foods are high energy foods is to simply throw them on a campsite fire.  Sugar granules or alochol thrown onto a fire will create a great spectacle!  The easier it is to burn, the more explosive it it at burning, the more fattening.\n\n(#1) Match energy intake with activity level = no change;\n(#2) Reduce energy intake, maintain activity level = burns fat (lose weight);\n(#3) Reduce energy intake, increase activity level = burns fat (lose weight) quicker;\n(#4) Reduce energy intake, reduce activity level (same as #1);\n(#5) Increase energy intake, increase activity level (same as #1);\n(#6) Increase energy intake, maintain activity level = put on weight/ store fat;\n(#7) Increase energy intake, reduce activity level = put on weight/ store fat quicker.\n\nCOMPLICATIONS\n\nThe heat energy in food can either be accessed or not.  \n\nUnaccessible or unavailable carbohydrates are also know as roughage or dietary fibre.  Everyone knows that TOO LITTLE FIBRE is a highly refined diet -- you will not go to the toilet much, and there can be a problem with your bowel (intestines, stomach, and various organs) if it is not "flushed" through with fibre often enough.\n\nHowever, not many people realise that if you eat TOO MUCH FIBRE you will need to go to the toilet more often, and a lot of goodness (vitamins as well as heat energy etc) can be dragged out before your body has had a chance to get them. Increasing fibre can lose you weight!  The main thing to note is that the fibre content in food ensures that some (not all) of the vitamins and minerals being lost as a result of going to the toilet.\n\nYour metabolism is a COMPENSATING mechanism that works between upper and lower limits, so if you reduce energy intake, the metabolism can adjust itself by taking longer to get goodness out of food -- instead of resorting to converting fat stores into available carbohydrate for work activity. You may be 'bloated' or constipated... but the main thing is that it seems as though your fad diet has suddenly stopped working -- that you have reached a plateau.\n\nYour metabolism will make you feel more hungry or more full as it sees fit, it will make you constipated or have the runs, it can even make you feel too tired to exercise!\n\nThe KEY to successful slimming is to FOOL your metabolism.\n\nWhile your metabolism is automatic, it can be affected by hormonal activity -- so puberty puts on "puppy fat", and menopausal or pregnant women can gain weight too as the metabolism makes them hungry, listless and is more thorough in processing food to get as much energy out to store as fat. \n\nPeople with a thyroid problem have no way of controlling their metabolism.  The thyroid (in the neck) regulates the metabolism, Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can result from trauma or shock.  You have to take drugs fro the rest of your life, but you are in complete control of your weight!\n\nSome drugs target the thyroid -- others keep you awake or make you more active -- speed etc.  Speed is sometimes found in medicines prescribed for menstrual pains, which is why some girls have a weight problem or a fluctuating weight problem.\n\nThe good thing about increasing your fibre is that it keeps your metabolism busy.  But you can equally well trick your metabolism by drinking a LOT of room-temperature still tap water. \n\nHeat energy in foods comes in three varieties: Carbohydrates (which are very quickly turned into work), Proteins, and Fats.  Think of it like this: eaten fats are turned by the body (using vitamins and hormones) into proteins and then into

There are certain foods out there called "negative-calorie" foods.  These are foods that contain less calories in them than the body burns during the digestion process.  For example, if you eat a carrot with 10 calories, and your body burns 35 calories while digesting it, you just burned 25 calories by eating!  Pretty cool, huh?  You can find a list of these foods on google (type in "negative calorie foods").  Spicy foods also tend to speed up metabolism.  Keep in mind, however, to diet in moderation..any crash diets where you deprive yourself will inevitably backfire.

You don't want the easiest--you want the safest.  A lot of diets are dangerous.  The 1960s taught us that low carb diets are dangerous.  You want a balanced diet, low in fat and high in fiber.  You want to burn more calories than you eat if you want to lose weight, but it is dangerous to eat fewer than 1200 calories a day.  To burn the calories, you need to do aerobic exercise (anything fun that gets your heart rate up above 120 or so) for a minimum of 20 minutes a day.  This could be jogging, bicycling, jumping rope, dancing, swimming, brisk walking, basketball, tennis, or whatever you like that will do the job.

One of the most dangerous chemicals in diet foods is Aspartame (Nutrasweet).  A lot of people are affected by Nutrasweet, yet the manufacturers keep pumping that stuff into everything -- it's almost impossible to find a low-cal yogurt without it!  Sucralose is supposedly safer, but I avoid the stuff anyway.  It's best to just eat natural, healthy foods in reasonable quantities -- fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats.

Yes.  It was my first experience with North American food...Though not at McDonald's, it was a hamburger and fries.\n\nFast foods cooked for speed and convenience are deep fried in oils which are used many times.  We are literally eating everything in the air and having it hard-cooked right into our foods, and inviting this into our digestive system where the immune system draws it's nutrients and is the basis for our health.  \n\nThese "fast" foods compromise our immune systems, are toxic, and will over time, lead to general ill health if eaten often.  Poison makes us ill.  The body speaks a sometimes more than subtle language, and I hope you've heard and understood it does not like nor can it fight off poisonous food.

The fastest diet is fruits, veggies, and lean meats.  Cut down on pasta, bread and sugar, and you will lose weight and keep it off.  Drink lots of water too.

You could try one of the 11 day or 14 day detoxes which focus on burning fat and detoxing the toxins that are stored in your fat. (Which potentially make losing weight too fast usually dangerous.) They generally focus on a lot of water, cranberry, organic where possible, sufficient protein, beneficial herbs and seasonings, eliminating typical allergens such as wheat/gluten and dairy, utilizing good bacterias, flaxseed or fish oils, lots of fiber, fruits/veggies, and of course, a mild exercise program. After the 11 or 14 days you can merge into the next phase, which offers more calories and avoids famine and metabolism problems.\n\nI typically lose about 6-9 pounds the first week to ten days when I go back on the wagon, pretty much in "false fat" or water weight. It ends up averaging for me, about 10 pounds per month.\n\nThis is also takes into consideration that you NEED to lose weight. At 13 and 119 pounds, I wouldn't think that would be a problem. And of course, the less you need to lose, the longer it takes. But still, you could consider working on the HEALTHY aspect... eating better for your monthly cycles, your bones, better hormones and brain power, and gettin enough sleep with more energy. Staying active itself might be all you need with your metabolism, but as far as I know, the detox was the fastest thing I've ever done - about 40 pounds in 4 months.\n\nThe question is hon, who said you needed to lose weight in the first place? Did a doctor? Don't put your health behind some superficial need to be thin, etc. Keep in mind that YOU are beautiful because YOU are YOU, not because you fit a size 0. \n\nIf you truly feel the need to lose some weight, please do it the healthy way, with plenty of healthy fats and good carbs from veggies and fruit, and moderate exercise. Please please don't be tempted to try smoking or potentially harmful 'diet drugs.' If you feel the need to get started on the Battle of The Bulge this early in your life, you will probably be fighting it for decades to come, the long run - and these quick fixes will not help you keep it off in the long run; only a healthy plan and lifestyle that you enjoy will work.\n\nHope your taking a multivitamin/calcium/iron too, since between now and the next decade you will form the bones that you will have for the rest of your life, and it's probably never too soon to start preventing osteoperosis. The bottom line is, whatever you do, make it a matter of wanting to feel better and be healthier... and whatever issues with your size and appearance will naturally follow. Don't go on crash diets and only follow recommendations for your young age.\n\nAnd always love yourself the way you are!

Remember to Stay away from the following danger foods– \nSugar – use stevia or Xylitol instead\nCandies and chocolate which are high in sugar; some cheap chocolates contain hydrogenated vegetable oils which are most unhealthy. If you do indulge in a little chocolate the best types are the expensive dark chocolates!\nFoods containing refined flour\n“Diet foods” that claim to be slimming – they are usually low in fat and high in sugar or aspartame, eg. diet-yogurts, diet jams, diet-ice-cream, diet-sodas, etc; these diet foods are not slimming they are fattening if they contain sugar or aspartame! Read the labels. \nFried snacks – such as potato chips, tortilla chips, pretzels, etc.\nMeat jerky and preserved meats\nPizza\nFatty take away foods like fried fish and chips, lasagna and fried chicken\nDeep fried hot potato chips\nBiscuits – both sweet and savoury varieties, as they contain refined flour, hydrogenated vegetable oils, lard, shortening and if sweet, will be high in sugar\nBreads containing refined flour, crumpets, muffins, bagels and donuts, as they tend to be fattening for those with a fatty liver. \nObviously we all like to eat unhealthy or junk foods on special occasions and this is fine if it’s a birthday, family celebration, Christmas or a one off special event. It’s when these things become a regular part of your diet and lifestyle that you will find your liver suffers.\n\n\nDaily citrus cleanse\n½ lemon or ½ lime – freshly squeezed (you can use a whole lemon/lime if desired) with\n500ml warm water\n\nLiver  Pancreas Cleansing Juice\n½ lemon or lime, with some peel\n2 apples\n2 dandelion or 2 rocket leaves or 2 cabbage leaves\n½ cup broccoli florets, chopped\n1 clove garlic or ¼ red onion (can use less if desired)\n½ cup parsley\nThis is a strong mixture and may be diluted with 1 cup water, extra apple or dandelion root tea. \n\npls read the article too at\nhttp://www.liverdoctor.com/newsletter/edition1.1/liverfunction.asp

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's no such thing as quick and fast. Anything over the counter that can promise you quick and fast isn't safe so I wouldn't take them. You just have to watch your caloric intake versus your activity level, it'll come off, but it will take time. Losing anymore than 4 pounds a week isn't healthy either so don't do some crash diet or pill that could potentially hurt you.

There is a new supplement called hoodia.  This is supposed to work as an apetite suppressant.  Many people say that it works.\n\nI once lost 35 lbs in eight weeks on atkins diet.\n\nThe most healthy way to lose such large amount of weight in little time as you want to lose seems to be raw 100 percent vegan diet.  I am not selling anything, btw.  Read before and after testimonials and see pictures here:\nhttp://rawfoodinfo.com/pictures/beforeafters_main.html\n\nThere is another way to lose alot of weight quickly, but I do not advocate divorce.  \n\nGood luck to you, dearie.
