yes\n\nsee weight reduction cannot be done with pills, that too without side effects.\n\nthere is no shortcut to success, which can in anything even weight reduction.....\n\nthe golden regimen for weight loss, that really works is:\n1.DIET:  zero fats,\n         least carbohydrates,\n         more proteins,\n         plenty of vegetable salads- they have a double advantage of filling stomach, and providing all necessary nutrients, they should occupy atleast 80% of u r diet\n\n2. regular aerobic exercise- atleast for half an hour, nay be brisk walking, swimming, shuttle, tennis etc.\n\n3. GREEN TEA- it is believed to burn fat cells, improve our immunity, fight against cancer, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol etc. without side effects.\n   try two to three cups a day.

Exercise, reduce stress; losing weight sometimes helps. But why depend on purely "natural" ways? It's not dangerous, nor is it "unnatural" to use medication under a doctor's supervision. It's much more efficient and reliable sometimes.\n\n[And a side note to Psychology, who's a very clever chap: quit smoking! You're way too good looking to put your health in danger.]

Drink lots and lots of water and eat a lot of fruit and veggies.  By the way the quicker you drop the weight, the quicker you'll put it back on

Get rid of fast food and pop especially. You can live without those. Only eat sugary and fatty foods on rare occasions. Eat lots of the right food, like fruits, protiens, vegatables, and stuff like that. Drink lots of water. And most important, get lots of exercise. People don't want to believe it or something, but exercise is the way to lose weight, not dieting. I mean, I ate donughts every day at camp but still lost weight from running around every day:)

It is not hard getting down to your ideal weight if you know what you are doing. Some weight is bodyfat but some is also water retention and some (5 to 20 pounds) is waste that makes your waist wider. The site below has info on what causes these to be in excess and what you can do to get rid of them. Fat people eat too much refined wheat-- bread, pasta, cake, cookies, donuts, pretzels and crackers.\n\nDrinking 4 to 8 gallons of water a day is not necessary and puts a huge strain on the kidneys which could stop working some day. Only drink when you are thirsty. Drinking lots of water to lose weight came about since many consume too much anti-water which neutralizes the ability of water to do its job. See site below for more on this.

Cardio.  \n\nIn order to lose that last bit of stomach weight, I had to become smaller than what I wanted in order for the remaining weight to drop in that area.  Once I did, I then, slowly put back on some weight with exercise.  \n\nHere are some other tips:\n\nThe holidays can be stressful... and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.\n\nLearn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 -- 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5. \n\nFind alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album,  \n\nKeep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable... so perhaps you'll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.\n\nThree-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.\n\nExercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare. \n\nGet enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you'll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.

Whatever you do, don't loose weight by not eating (completly) or by squeezing the weight in your belly out. Tips: Exercize daily (not too strenuous exercise) and eat healthy foods (vegetables and such). Doing a couple sit-ups (10-40 or 50 if you can) every day might help.

Well definitely cut down on your complex carbs (potatoes, rice, etc).  balance protein, carbs and fat (very important).  Get protein from turkey, chicken, tofu, tuna, egg whites, fat free yogurt and protein powder.  Carbs from fruits, vegatables.  Fat from olive oil, avacado and almonds. Always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge. \n\nIf you don't like to exercise, then only drive when you absolutely have to, and walk as much as possible.  People underestimate the power of cutting out vehicles by at least 20%. \n\nDrink water as your primary source of liquid.  Do not drink any soda at all - it is completly unnecessary.  \n\nChange your eating perspective to 'one meal at a time'.  If you over eat, or eat something very fattening that's okay, you are one meal away from eating healthy again.  You should never feel deprived.  It is important to try and make a committment. \n\nAfter living like this for a few months you will feel you don't want those unhealthy foods so much.  \n\nThe main issue for most of us is not having ever learned how to eat healthy.  Our bodies want healthy food, and it's much more natural for us to walk than get into a vehicle.  This is not a novelty or fad, this is how it's supposed to be.  \n\nBy following this, without strenuous excersise, your body will get to its optimum weight naturally and in a reasonable amount of time.\n\nGood Luck

A great way to lose weight is to incorporate exercise into the patterns of your life. That is . . . take the stairs when you get the chance.  Walk to the store or the metro.  Make a habit of doing a "counter-pushup" every time you go to the fridge.  Quick situps as you wait for the microwave. (Believe it or not, I do this.) It's got to be part of your life for you to continue to do it.\n\nPlaying with what you eat is also helpful.  Try new recipes (lots of sites online!) and Cooking Light is a good way to find light recipes.  More vegetables, fresher ingredients. . . you may find it's fun to experiment with healthier food.\n\nHate to say it, but losing weight takes work and dedication.  You've got to consciously think about what your life looks like now, how you can change.
