By drinking only water and eating ONLY protein. ZERO CARBS. It's kind of dangerous, and should not be done for more than 48 hours.

Well in boxing it similar to be being on a diet. If the case of Pac vs. Morales, they fight at 130 but their natural weight is probably 145 to 150 so they train all this time to lose all this weight before the weigh in. Once they weigh in they eat and drink water and  to gradually come back up to natural weight. So in the fight you will always see what they weighed in and their unofficial weight before the fight. No one really has an advantage (i.e. Mayweather vs. Baldomir {where Baldomir was naturally 180 when they fought at 155}) but the common notion is more weight equals more power. But like Sergio Mora says, "I rather be fast then strong." So normally it's the person who has the most talent that should win.

Eat more fruits and veggies. Small portions but about 6-8 times per day. Start the morning with a full glass of water. And try to run or walk for about 20-30 minutes a day. This will speed up your metabolism and if your caloric intake is less than your calories burned, you will achieve weight loss. Oh yeah a steam room can help you lose water retention. Expect to lose between five to ten pounds.

Chew gum continuously for two hours. Boxers do that before they weighted they can loose two kilos as the water go to pee. But, you'll get it right back after you drink again.

Monday: weight training for an hour and a half and 30 minutes of cardio.\nTuesday: 30 minutes of cardio.\nWednesday: weight training for an hour and a half and 30 minutes of cardio.\nThursday: 30 minutes of cardio.\nFriday: weight training and 30 minutes of cardio.\nYou get the idea.  Join the YMCA.  Get a trainer.  Eat lots of raw fruit and vegetables.  Choose one meal of the day that you indulge and eat as much as you want to, all other meals are strictly raw fruits, raw vegetables, cold organic cereal with no fat milk.  Make your own vinaigrettes for salads.

Weight loss works one way only.  To take in less calories than you burn in a day.  A 150- lb woman needs 1700 calories per day to run her organs.  If she were to do NO exercise and eat exactly 1700 calories, she would maintain.  If she were to do some exercise and burn 350 calories per day, it would take her 10 days to lose 1 pound.  (3500 calories = 1 lb.)  If she were to also drop her daily intake to 1350 calories, she would lose that pound in 5 days.  \nThe type of exercise you do has an impact on your body too.  If you were to do strength training, you would tone muscles, becoming more "cut" and if you used heavier weights, you would start to bulk up.  If you were to do aerobics, cardio-vascular exercise, this is good for flushing fat out without a specific target area.  Running is scary becuase it's easy to over- do it.  You should exercise a rate where you can speak a few sentences or sing a few lines, in between breaths.  If you're so winded you can't squeak a sentence out, you're overdoing it and BURNING MUSCLE.  I'm sure you would hate to become weaker through your running, so just be careful of that.

I have always battled weight gain but when I was modeling I couldn't afford to put on a few extra pounds, and I hated "exercising" and I love eating! The only way I could effectively keep my weight down was to find way that I really enjoyed that would burn off those calories. My friend turned me on to boxing. Not kick boxing aerobics (not that theres anything wrong with that) but it was training with a real boxing trainer. Three times a week I would go into the gym for an hour and half and cover my self in abaleen (makes you sweat more) and then put on a sauna suit and get in the ring. He would hold mits and make me punch until my arms could punch anymore. He would put me through the same kind of training as he would if I was training to really fight. (Even though I have no intention of ever doing that) We would weigh in at the beginning of every work out and then again at the end and on average you left about 1 to 2 pounds lighter from sweating so much. It was an amazing stress releaser, and very cool from a self defense aspect as well. sorry to get off on a tangent about boxing as boxing isn't for everyone but my point was find a way to work out that you enjoy and that doesn't feel like a chore. And you'll have no problem maintaining.

First determine why you have to lose that weight, is that because you really want it or because you envy your thinner friend who get your favorite guy in the class? If you really want it, it will work.\nGive yourself a reward. Instead of spending your money on snacks and fattening foods, go to a fashion store, by some clothes. But, instead of buying something your size, try buying something too small for you, but it must be something you really like and want to wear. Jeans and dresses (not strecth one) are good for this. Just try it, but don't go too far, just 2-3 size smaller. If you're currently size 12, try a size 10 or even 8. \nOK then, after 5 minutes of struggle finally you can get yourself in the dress, but now you can't pull the zip up. It's OK, buy it. \nNow hang it in front of your other clothes or on top of the stack, so every time you want to get dress you see it. and eep the note in your mind : 'I'll be small enough to wear that, soon" If you have time, try them too see your progress. If finally you can wear it properly (all the buttons and zip up), go on, wear it even actually it still to tight and exposing some gut. It will remind you not to eat too much all day, and a restriction in the waistline will make you feel full faster.\nBuy a new (smaller if you can) every few weeks or if you feel that the old clothes feel a bit looser.\nGood luck

the number of calories it takes to lose a pound fat? In other words, eat 500 calories less than you need every day for seven days and you should emerge one pound lighter.\n\nthe theory sounds great. unfortunately, it doesn't work that well in practice.

You cannot lose weigh in any one particular area.It is done on the entire body.But,you can try toning exercises that will target those areas.

The same day or previous day's diet provides the immediate fuel.  Long term the health of the athlete and how well they can train.

When I was in high school, we had to wrestle in gym class.  They made us all weigh in in just a jockstrap to classify us by weight.  It was a little uncomfortable, but we all survived.

Losing water weight is actually not that difficult. But i'm not quite sure if losing water weight will make a substantial difference when it comes to losing inches. I was a wrestler in high school, and when i had to lose weight for the scales a day before a match, i used to put on about 5 sweatshirts on myself, and 2 shorts, a pair of jeans, 2 pairs of socks, and thick shoes on top of all this. Wearing these clothes i used to go out and run for atleast an hour to two hours, which reduced my weight for about 5lbs. Which was enough for me to help me with the scales at the match. But i've never known to losing inches when i lost water weight. Also, water weight comes back in a week after you lose it.

The thing that weighs people down is they reach for their toes. NO! Bring your toes and legs to your hands, keep your back upright and straight as possible. \n\nAnd of course, practice every day.\n\nGood luck!
