It's a simple formula.  Every 3500 calories equals 1 pound.  You decide how you want to get rid of it- diet, exercise or whatever (a combination is best), but you'll need to get rid of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat in a week.\n\nJust eat healthy, and less quantity, but 5 small meals & snacks per day... and dont forget to drink lots of water throughout the day- you dont have to call it a "diet"

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself.  Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two  complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of.  It needs to be diluted.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work from there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC.  There are many, many helpful facts on there.

First off, if you need to lose weight, you sould look into activities that you can engage yourself in.  Sweating yourself off will help you lose weight more than having a healthier diet.  Choosing what you eat will support your weight-loss regimen further, though.\n\nOnce you've signed up for some great workout/exercises, try to rid your pantry off of any junk food and replace them with high-fiber foods (i.e. fruits and vegetables) that will make you easily feel full without adding on that much calories.  There are some "fun" snacks out there that can give you the satisfaction of having a bag of chips minus the fats - such as whole-grain snacks (i.e. Sun Chips) - but be careful of the salt/sodium content as this is notorious for water retention (added weight).\n\nYou are basically looking into an entire lifestyle change - one that you will be able to commit to for ... well, forever.  So think long and hard about this and have an expert help you lay out the ground work (i.e. a fitness instructor and nutrionist).\n\nLastly, and this may sound strange, but try to take 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil every night or have a constant supply of hot green tea during meals.  Both have been proven to promote faster metabolism in a healthy, realistic way; which means in a slow but steady manner.  Try to read more about these online or, better yet, talk to your nutritionist first.\n\nAs a moral booster, remind yourself that you are doing this not just to lose weight, but because you want to invest on a longer, happier life - the looking good part will just be a great trade-off you get from treating yourself really good.\n\nAll the best as you embark on this journey for a healthier you!

1) Drink WATER...WATER...WATER...WATER...\n\n2) Join a membership like weight watchers (excellent place I lost a permanant 40 lbs...4 yrs now), Jenny Craig (like that gal from Cheers), LA Weight Loss. These places should teach you how to eat.  This is a LIFE STYLE CHANGE not a diet. \n\nA)  You need to unlearn all your past eating habits and re-learn the correct way to eat. You need to practice how to eat for about 1 1/2 hours a day.  I lost 25 lbs, just by changing eating alone...I was on a bet, so I didn't exercise;  I only changed my eating habits.  It takes work at first, but once you've brainwashed yourself, it's for life. \n  \nB)  Then after you learn how to eat, you can learn how to exercise.  This too is something most of us have learned wrong.  We think if we spend 3 hours a day at the gym, then we're going to get that great body.  WRONG.  We burn out, and out body is freeked out.  Start by exercising slowly.  Find activities you love...not the one's that give best results.  Take up boating, rollerblading, iceskating, bicycleing, swimming, chase cars. . .be creative.\n\nC) Learn to visualize yourself as you want to be.  Practice this daily in the mirror, and it might sound like witch craft, but you'll start to look like the person you created in the mirror.\n\nHappy New Year. . . Hope you accomplish your resolutions.

Forget the DIET word.  The most effective way to lose weight without exercising is to avoid certain foods.  Just begin by avoiding bread, butter, soft drinks & sweets. This is not too radical is it for a start? Try this for the first two weeks to jump start your metabolism.  I visit the gym regularly, and over several months many people look the same size and still show fatty areas that should have responded.  What they are doing is not eating SMART.  So take this advice and just keep moving along.  Don't park to close to the stores.  Pick up your pace as you walk and do errands.  YOU WILL LOSE!  Drink plenty of water also with just a squeeze of lemon often.  This will detox your liver and spark your metabolism.  Good Luck!

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume (or consume fewer calories than you burn). The kind of food you eat is secondary. However, eating lots of veggies should help you to feel full without many calories.

If you won't exercise, losing weight will be sloooooow. But you can start loosing weight by cutting out all the extra sugars and calories you don't need - like sodas, powdered juices, pastries, sweet desserts like pies and ice creams. You know what is fattening.  If you don't know, get one of those diet book and read it or search the internet on the foods they recommend you remove.\n\nAdding lots of vegetable fiber to your diet will also help. Fiber hastens the cleansing process of your system, removing the fat before it can be deposited into you system as only fiber can by encouraging elimination more often. Plus it helps give you a full feeling so you don't eat as much.

Don't bother with fasting or starving yourself. Not only will this make you feel miserable, but it will actually hamper your weight loss by lowering your metabolism (your body's natural ability to burn calories). If you want to lose weight, here are some tips:\n\n1) Exercise! It's really a wonder-drug. You'll burn calories, build muscle (which helps your body burn more calories on its own), and you will feel less hungry. If you don't have much time, you don't have to do a lot. Any little bit helps. Pick up a jumprope for a few minutes a day. Do some situps and pushups a couple times a day. Don't worry if you can't go to the gym for an hour every day - you can still exercise.\n\n2) Eat healthy fats and proteins and lots of fruits and vegetables. Skip the refined sugars. Instead of popcorn, have an apple. Go for foods high in nutrition - not high in sugar and starch. Mushrooms and carrots are a great start, but what is even more important is a balanced diet.\n\n3) Eat frequently! Sometimes eating more is really one of the best ways to lose weight. No, not necessarily more food, but more often. Your metabolism will be higher when you eat six small meals or snacks as opposed to three larger meals. If you don't want to go overboard cooking, try putting half of each meal in a tupperware container for later. Eat your 2nd meals for snacks. Even if you eat exactly the same amount of food, you'll lose weight if you split it up into smaller portions. Plus, you'll be less hungry throughout the day.\n\n4) Drink lots of water! Most people don't drink enough water and drink a lot of sodas, juices, and other sugary beverages. Skip anything with sugar in it (milk is still good) and drink only water. Soda is a HUGE source of (unnoticed) calories. Forget the diet soda too - it is full of bad stuff. In fact, if you currently drink a lot of it, you'll probably be amazed how good you'll feel if you quit. It's very common to be constantly dehydrated because you quench your thirst with soda (which doesn't actually hydrate your body).\n\nGood luck! And be healthy. :)

You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit. \nLunch:\n1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty.

Exercise and start calorie counting. Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good. If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

Well I suggest you hire a dietitian and personal trainer. The dietitian will give you information on what to do in order for you to increase weight loss. Like the foods your suppose to eat and not eat. The personal trainer will help you excersise extra. I also suggest you eat fruit at least twice a day. Jog every morning for about 1 hour everyday. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week and meet with your personal trainer. Whatever you do do not starve yourself or go on drugs that can kill you! Good Luck!
