If I eat just tuna for a week and drink lots of water will it help me lose weight?

Maybe, but its not a good idea. You most likely will gain the weight back plus some because you have deprived yourself of the things you like most. Not to mention that tuna is only protein and your body needs some carbs and fat. \n\nThe best way to loose weight is to make the decision to make a lifestyle change and set some obtainable goals. Get out and walk, or join a gym, or get an exercise ball and video and work out at home. Eat sensibly. Include fruit, vegetables and meats in a well rounded meal plan. The water is a great idea. Cut out sodas, and any other sugary snacks. Go for whole grain, high fiber. Eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. Don't eat after 6 pm, and get a subscription to a magazine that helps remind you of your goals. \n\nRemember slow weight loss (2 pounds a week) is better for you. When you loose weight at that rate, you give yourself time to adjust to the new eating/workout habits and your be able to stick to it longer - or better yet - for life. \n\nGood luck!

It could help if you combined it w/ diet and exercise. The best to take is green tea extract meaning just a tiny few drops with a small amount of water. Green tea is a natural thermogenic and will make u sweat more when you work out. If you combined it with a healthy diet and exercise plan, you could lose up to 2 lbs a week.

While exercise and eating 5-6 times a day will help in not only boosting you metabolism and mitigating insulin secretion,drinking water has been proven to be helpful as well.\nDespite the fact that most diets call for drinking at least eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day, few studies have been done to determine if the practice actually speeds weight loss. In an effort to answer this question, Michael Boschmann, MD, and colleagues from Berlin's Franz-Volhard Clinical Research Center tracked energy expenditures among seven men and seven women who were healthy and not overweight. \n\n\nAfter drinking approximately 17 ounces of water, the subjects' metabolic rates -- or the rate at which calories are burned -- increased by 30% for both men and women. The increases occurred within 10 minutes of water consumption and reached a maximum after about 30 to 40 minutes. \n\n\nThe study also showed that the increase in metabolic rate differed in men and women. In men, burning more fat fueled the increase in metabolism, whereas in women, an increased breakdown of carbohydrates caused the increase in metabolism seen. \n\n\nThe researchers estimate that over the course of a year, a person who increases his water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories, for a weight loss of approximately five pounds. They note that up to 40% of the increase in calorie burning is caused by the body's attempt to heat the ingested water. The findings are reported in the December issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.\nYou must maintain a healthy lower calorie diet.Eat less carbohydrates and more whole foods and protein.Protein is helpful because it's the highest thermic food.\n\nGoing for a walk in the evening can be helpful but weight training is one of the best exercises you can do to lose weight.\n\nOne of the ways this works is by stimulating new muscle growth thus metabolizing more calories even at rest(about 50 cal per pound of muscle).\nThe fact of the matter is you MUST just stick with it.Following some of the guidelines here will help.\nIt is also unnecessary to drink 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day.\n\nCalculate you BMR and consume less calories than you burn.\n\nConsider some low carb protein bars.Stay away from granola and those type snacks.\nThis will dispel that stupid cabbage nonsense among other things.This is excerpted from a Yahoo! Health e mail.\nThe following diet myths come up over and over again at my nutrition center. My next two blog entries will help set the record straight. Hope you find this helpful! \n\nIf you eat late at night, the food turns straight into fat.\n\nNot true.If your overall calories are appropriate for weight loss, you certainly can eat something after dinner. Late night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep). \n\nHowever, for the sake of energy, it is always better to eat your calories during the day when your body needs the fuel. Plus, eating consistently throughout the day will stabilize blood sugar levels -- so you’ll feel energized and experience fewer cravings. If you are going to snack after dinner, I suggest choosing something 250 calories or less.\n\n\n\nFresh fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than frozen.\n\nNot necessarily. Frozen can be a great produce option (just avoid varieties with added salt, sugar, and sauce). Frozen foods are picked in the peak of ripeness, then frozen. You can eat them as you need them -- and most of the nutrients are locked in. On the other hand, fresh fruit and vegetables are typically harvested before they ripen, and can have nutrient variability. Also, the longer fresh produce sits around in your fridge, the less nutrients it will contain. \n\nBottom line: Buy both fresh and frozen and eat as much as you can.\n\nCravings are your body's way of telling you it needs something.\n\nThis has never been proven. You normally crave what you like to eat (or smell or se

They shoot for helping you lose a pound and a half to two pounds of fat per week.   The key word is "fat" because often people lose more weight (not fat) because they start drinking a lot of water or lose some muscle because of the decrease in calories.  Your body holds on to less water when you intake a lot so you can lose "weight" that way too.  Expect to lose about 8 - 9 pounds of fat if you follow your diet exactly.

Yes it does, but there is more to weight loss than just water. It is just part of the solution. Weight loss only occurs when your calorie input is less than your calories output. This means if you eat 1200 calories in a day you need to output more than 1200 calories in a day. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Water Menu For Weight Loss\n\nMany of us know that keeping our bodies well hydrated is essential for good health and for weight loss. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water every day is recommended and yet many people find this difficult to do.\n\nIf you are one of the many people who find it difficult to drink water, here is a program easily followed to ensure you are well hydrated every single day.\n\nWhen you wake up you will often be thirsty because your body loses water while you are sleeping through breathing and perspiration. Drink a large glass of water with a slice of lemon for zing.\n\nDrink another glass of water with breakfast or a cup of herbal tea before setting off the day.\n\nMid morning - snack on a piece of juicy fruit such as orange, rockmelon, watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew. Have a glass of water and perhaps try a dash of herbal aloe juice which is wonderfully soothing to the digestive system.\n\nLunch - think of soup or have a glass of water before your meal, or perhaps a herbal tea.\n\nMid afternoon - While you are preparing your evening meal, drink a glass of water and snack on some crunchy fresh vegetables.\n\nEvening - Sip a glass of water before your meal with a dash of your favourite fruit juice for flavour.\n\nAfter dinner - before bedtime drink your final glass of water and sleep well!\n\nNow here's the really exciting part - you may notice a reduction in inches and centimetres, as you body's water store become redundant and so decrease. You may need to 'spend a penny' more but the results will be worth it.

You should drink lots of water and exercise at least 15 minutes a day. Also try and stay away from salty and greasy foods. I've done this and I've lost alot of weight. So I know what you are going thru. It's also good to eat lots of fresh vegitables and fruits. Good luck!

Eat tuna for low fat protein, lots of crunches and situps, and don't forget tons of cardio to burn that fat. Ease up on the carbs, too.

yes! it is actually water weight though. you cant really get rid of it becuase whenever you eat something with water in it (which is practically everything) then you get water weight. it is not fat though. if you dont eat a few days you will notice that you rapidly lose weight. you are losing all the water from your body. one day i just did not eat at all, i lost 3 pounds in one day. so yes, there is wate4r weight but you dont want to lose it, unless you choose to not eat.

Drinking/sipping .. Not guzzling .. water throughout your meal is a good thing. It will not cause you to become "fat" as water doesnt contain fat. It will however, fill you up. Especially if eaten rice because it will expand inside your stomach.\n\nIf anything drinking excess water with your meal will help you to lose weight because you will eat less.\n\nThis is not a recommended dietry tip.

In short, no.  THe only weight loss you will encounter is in short term water weight (sweating).  Using the belt , followed by drinking a glass of water will end you right back wheere you started.\n\n Best way to lose weight is not only to sweat , but to condition the bosy.  Cardio will turn fats into fuel.  It will also build muscle, which may add to your "weight" (as muscle is denser than fat), but it will result in better health and less fat.

well i lost weight by eating lots of cereals and special bread.also loads of salad and white meat.like chicken.and aslo fish.kippers are very good for you.the oil is very good for your heart and cholesterol.and they are not very fatty,the same goes for tuna.use skimmed milks and sweeteners for your hot drinks.and make sure you exercise.walk at least 2 miles very day or for at least 30 minutes.do not eat anything before midday.only drink pure lemon juice.it helps break up fatty compounds.eat plenty veg.as it makes you go.and that's the best way to lose weight.good luck.i went from 23 stone to 16 stone in6 months.but I'm 23 stone again and have started all over again.still i look forward to the challenge.never set your sights to high for weight loss in one week.don't expect to lose 5 lb per week it will happen at first but as you diet it gets harder to lose.so set yourself realistic goals.of say 2/3 lb per week weight loss.that way you will not be discouraged if you only lose 2lb at the end of the day that's still a standard bag of sugar ,and that's quite a lot.

Yes, you will be temporarily heavier by drinking lots of water.  You'll end up sweating and peeing it out, though, so you won't gain weight in the long term.  Drinking too much anything is dangerous and can have devastating consequences, so I don't suggest trying to put on the pounds by doing a lot of anything.  Some athletes have died from drinking too much water and thereby diluting their blood.

Tuna has less mercury than most fish.  It isn't safe to eat too much fish per week....at the most I would go for 3 times per week.

that's too much weight to lose in a week.  If you lose that much, it is because you are causing dehydration, and you will never be able to maintain it.\nThe more acceptable goal is to try to lose AT THE MOST one kg in a week due to healthy eating and enough exercise.  Starvation diets will never work because you cant keep the weight off.

Yes you can. Some people want to know how much weight per week is safe to lose. Others want to know how much weight they will lose sticking to a certain program. There are lots of people who repeat what they have heard but no reliable sources say that only a certain amount is safe to lose. You can drink too much water, eat too much, exercise too much and fast too long (an MD fasted a fat guy for 8 months and he died). But you can not sleep too much!  Why? Because you do not control how much you get only how little you get. You cannot force yourself to sleep if you do not need it.\n\nSo you do not choose how quickly you lose weight. Your body decides that. So only your body knows how much you will lose. It will only allow you to lose what is safe. One guy under an MD's care lost 180 pounds in a year fasting on weekends. So some lose quickly on a bad weight loss plan  and others lose slowly on a great weight loss plan. Make sure to eat foods with nutrients for skin, like omega-3 fatty acids, to avoid loose skin, when you lose weight.\n\nDiets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.\n\nBut wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you  know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.\n\nSo it is natural  to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS.
