you have to eat something, unlike the other comment. You would go to the hospital if you did that. Eat a fat free low cal dry cereal in the morning. Only the serving size or less. For lunch eat a fat free yogurt and a 100 calorie baggie of your choice(they are at the supermarkets) with water, and for dinner have a salad with vinegar. Not Italian or ranch, or even fat free ranch. They are all high in Calories. To loose that amount of weight in that short period of time, you have to burn double the amount of calories you intake. For your beverage choice, no diet soda, regular sodas, juices, or anything, except WATER! and drink a lot of it because it will flush out your body and help you loose weight. it will also give you the extra vitamins and minerals you need. \n\nGood luck! I hope that I helped you out!

if your reason for wanting to lose weight in 2 weeks is for the beach and after that you dont care about how you look then skip the part enclosed in the dotted lines.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe best way to lose fat is simple - exercise. If possible, do some cardio first thing in the morning before eating any full meals. This burns the maximum amount of fat. Since your body has not had any food for the last 7-10 hours, it burns the fat in your body for energy. If not, then cardio and a little weight lifting anytime of the day will do. It is important to build some muscle since it will aid in your fat loss. The more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism.\n\nAlso, try eating small meals more frequently as opposed to the big 3 (breakfast, lunch, dinner). try to eat a small meal every 3 hours. The reason for this is that your body burns more calories since it is constantly digesting something in your stomach and will raise your metabolism. It is also useful to eat small meals because your stomach will not be stuffed and will always have a smaller look. If you are afraid of doing this because you might end up eating more, try this: when you are about to eat lunch, separate everything on your plate into 2. eat half and leave the other half to be eaten 3 hours later. do the same with dinner.\n\nlastly, losing weight is just simple math. If your calories taken in is more than when you use up (exercise, daily activities, metabolism, etc) then you gain weight. If it is less, then you lose weight. If you are really determined to lose weight then i suggest you start counting how much calorries you consume a day and cut it by 300-500 each week until you notice some results.\n\nif you are really serious, avoid eating foods high in sugar without any real nutritional value (chocolate, cakes, doughnuts, ice cream, all desserts) and foods way up there in the calorie scale (pizza, fried anything, etc). Foods which are very sweet like the ones mentioned above contain a lot of simple sugars which do nothing but make you fatter. What you want to be eating are complex carbs (wheat bread, oatmeal), foods high in protein (tuna, beef, chicken breast, etc), vegetables and fruits as these foods have the most nutritional value and will help in your fat loss. dont over eat with these foods only because they have good nutritional value. remember as long as you have a caloric surplus, you WILL gain weight, no matter how healthy you eat\n\nby doing all of the above, you will be able to achieve a lean body with a good body fat percentage. This will ensure that your stomach is flat and hard. However, if you want abs (im assuming that you do) you will have to train them hard. There are quite a number of exercises for the abs on this page http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise... like the different variations of crunches and oblique exercises to get you started.\n\none more thing. losing a few lbs (2-3) a week is optimal as losing more (5-10lbs) a week would lead to a drastic loss of muscle mass and would only produce a smaller, not necessary thinner, version of yourself. losing that much weight can also be decieving as most of it will be from water and muscle, not much from fat. It will only be a matter of time before you cannot take the starvation any longer and you will eat everything in sight. you need to change your eating habbits and drop your calories gradually as opposed to a sharp drop. \n---------------------------------------------\n\nin the short term, the best way to lose those extra pounds is still exercise and diet. however, do not expect to lose a lot of weight in a healthy manner. to lose 5lbs in 2 weeks is safely achieveable. 10lbs is pushing it. if you do a crash diet what you will lose waterweight and muscle mass which isnt a good thing.

2 weeks is far too short of a time to healthily lose 20 pounds - not to mention that losing that kind of weight quickly will leave you with flaps of skin that are, frankly, uglier & more disturbing than the fat.  You can lose 10 pounds without being unhealthy, but you might still have skin flaps.  Try this:\n\nBreakfast:  eat only yogurt and fruit.\nLunch:  A salad that is only vegetables, no meat.  Steer clear of creamy dressings and croutons.  You can put some tofu on there if you need protein.  Maybe one hardboiled egg.\nExercise 20 minutes each day.  This can be a brisk walk.  Do situps to keep the skin flaps from appearing on your stomach.\nDinner:  Meat and vegetable but no starch.  Try to go for white meats like chicken and pork - they're healthier for you.  With vegetables try to eat them fresh (better nutritional value), but if you can't, have them lightly steamed.  Do not eat bread or rice or potato anything with this meal.\n\nDessert:  A piece of fresh fruit.\n\nTo drink:  always water.  If you must have something else, drink milk or unsweetened tea.  Do not under any circumstances drink sodas, and if you get the urge to drink juice eat a piece of fruit instead.  Coffee is fine, just cut back on your sugar & cream or eliminate it entirely.\n\nYou will notice that you've lost weight by the end of the first week, and it will speed up in the second week.  To keep it off, keep up these habits but don't completely eliminate starch from your diet - that's unhealthy.  The most important thing is to keep up the 20 minutes of exercise, and add to it.\n\nBe careful about fad diets - if you try to lose too much weight too quickly, you will do your digestive system irreversible damage.\n\nGood luck.

Drink lots of water - 6 to 8 glasses a day - and cut out sodas and all sugary drinks.  I did that and lost 6.5 pounds the first week, and I didn't even change my eating habits.  \n\n97 pounds is tiny!  How tall are you?  You may just need to tone up - build up some muscle and that will help you burn calories faster.  Good luck!!

10 pounds in two weeks is not safe.  You should only lose about 1-2 pounds a week.  Do it by exercising and dieting.  Don't eat less than 1200 calories per day and make sure your diet includes the right kinds of nutrients by eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables (preferably more vegetables than fruits).  Do cardiovascular exercise 30-60 minutes per day.  Make sure your heart rate gets up.  You cannot lose weight only on one part of your body.  You will have to work your whole body.  As you start to lose fat, build muscle with strength training.  I recommend pilates if you really want to focus on your stomach.  Diet and exercise are the only healthy way to lose weight, and it takes time.  Please be safe!

Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 for some aggressive but realistic suggestions on improving fitness.\n\nAloha

To lose 2 pounds per week, you need a daily calorie deficit of 1000 calories.  So, if you can cut calories by 500 and exercise to burn 500, that's just what you need.  Try http://www.sparkpeople.com for your own personal diet and exercise plan.  It's a free website, but very good.  You can do a meal plan and an exercise plan.  Also track your progress.

Here’s a quick way to loose weight - though 2 weeks is pushing it, but this plan might make you loose 10 pounds realistically. I can tell you right now that unless you suck the fat out. There’s no way you can loose 35 in 2 weeks. 10 might be an ideal goal\n\nDisclaimer: This is just my theory I am not a trainer or a food/diet professional of any kind\n\n1. If you want to loose weight fast, and in a short amount of time you’re going to have to go with diet pills. Yes there is a high chance of risks, but some of them do work out there. Though i wouldn’t recommend it, because once you’re off them you weight returns!\n\n2. You want to eat about 4 - 6 times a day. But then you ask? Why eat? The more i eat the more there is to burn off? Well, that’s not true - as you might of heard, some people say - "the more you eat, the faster the metabolism." This is true. If you think about it, when you do eat your body says:\n\n"Hey i don’t think were going to get food (energy) anytime soon, so lets store whatever we have"\n\nNow when you do eat your body thinks:\n\n"Wow were getting a lot of energy here, and on a consist basis, i dont think we need to keep all this energy (fat)."\n\nThats why people say eat 4 - 6 times a day with SMALL portion meals.\n\nAlso, a sample diet would be only stuff at subway – Stay away from the sandwiches (carbs.) Do only there wraps and salads. For protein add a hard boiled egg once and a while or tuna.\n\n3. You want to have the heavy stuff in the morning and ease it out through the day. Trying having a big breakfast and small dinner or if you can have 4 400 calorie or 5 300 calorie type meals throughout the day. Also, try having fruit in the morning since some fruit have high sugar content.\n\n4. Exercise - Yup, there’s no way around this. You HAVE to exercise. If any exercise, at all at least 40 - 45 minutes of “sweating cardio” a day (6 times a week – give your body 1 day to cool down and rebuild.) Remember that nothing at the gym will help you burn fat except for cardio. Muscle (lean) will help with the process of burning fat, but the real key here is CARDIO! You want to burn at least 100 calories every 10 minutes. So, if you do a 45 minute workout (with a 5 minute cool down) your target calorie count should be 500, but if you want to loose weight fast – I say you turn it up a notch!\n\n5. Mental – Keep yourself stress free, 5 – 10% of all body fat is caused by stress and your living habits. Get plenty of sleep, smile and be friendly. A positive attitude is a great start on a way to a healthy and happy life style.\n\nI hope this helps and good luck!

Unless your physician has given you specific instructions otherwise, don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it would make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

If that's your photo in your avatar, you look close to goal weight so your body doesn't burn as many calories during exercise.  \n\nA 200 lb person walking at a moderate pace will only burn 175 calories in 2 miles.  That's only losing 1 lb in 3 weeks.\n\nYou can eat "very healthy" and still be over on calories.  Review your choices and limit snacks, fast food and frozen convenience foods.  Don't eat extra because you're exercising.\n\nWater is a good beverage choice, but it doesn't "cause" weight loss.  Don't drink too much hoping that you'll lose more.

Drink lots of water, no drinking pop or alcohol, no fat, no sugar or starches such as bread and pasta, just veggies a little fruit, very lean meat and take vitamins too. Exercise every day for a few hours such as running walking fast anything to make you sweat a little. Keep busy doing things - go to the mall, beach, dance, bike just move - no TV or to much Computer time! Do for a 2 weeks and you can should loose about 10 to 15 pounds. Oh and be happy and look your best - being stressed will not help with loosing weight at all.

I think that is about 7 lbs and that is unhealthy. Weight loss should be about 2 lbs a week. Try and do it sensibly or it will all come back with a vengance.\nEat a lot of veggies and fruit this week and walk walk and run if you can.

1) Curb your eating of sugars, salts and fatty things.\n2) rigorous workouts.\n\nHOWEVER.. you should be very careful and not lose too fast. Whatever your reason for wanting to lose immediately, it is NOT worth it. You should plan to lose 1 or 1 1/2 pounds a week. That is a good goal.

Technically, I think the claim is 10 pounds in TWO weeks.  But that is still a lot.\n\nThe thing is, you're talking about replacing two meals a day with bowls of cereal that run about 200 calories each.  To lose 5 pounds in a week, you'd have to create a calorie deficit of 2500 calories a day - something that would be hard to unless you're pretty big to begin with, or exercising 3 or 4 hours a day.\n\nThe only way somebody of average-to-overweight (but not morbidly obese) size could lose this kind of weight in that time frame would be for them to take off some water weight, too.\n\nBTW, good for you that you have enough sense to recognize when something sounds too good to be true!  Many people don't have half as much sense.
