Has anyone out there lost weight without having to exercise and did not take any pills?

A few years ago, I lost 20 pounds simply by reducing my portion sizes.  There was a period where I felt hungry shortly after a meal but I would snack on "negative calorie foods" (those fruits and vegetables which supply fewer calories than your body expends in metabolizing them).  I felt much better about myself afterwards and have since been exercising which makes it easy to keep the weight off.

---\nAfter trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 3 years now. I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.\n\nI did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights,  aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.\n\nI also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and  taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.\n\ntake a look at my before and after pictures...\n---------------------------------------------------------------\nI'm Chris...\nhttp://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Journals/Chris/Pictures/RawPictures.htm\n\nhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/personalgrowthnow/album?.dir=/bfa5&.src=ph&.tok=ph1YNpEBJB8qTLBg\n\nmore info:\nhttp://www.thelighthousewebworld.com/raw.htm\n\nhttp://www.rawguru.com/rawgurus.html

Have you ever considered another, and MUCH safer alternative- it is exercise, and also- getting in control of any habits/behaviors you have that are keeping you-wherever it is-that you want to change. Reason I say this, is because if you do not change within-that is to say your beliefs about you, no diet/pill/anything will help you. You might check with health professionals who will validate this- Read "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz, MD, to get a sense of this. Your life is a mirror of your internal state-change THAT and your life will change. A friend of mine 2 years ago made a new statement to herself, added nothing else and lost 13 pounds- you too can do this. Regards, William

Do you mean "how can I reduce weight through excercise without medicine"?\n\nExcecise is the best way to reduce wieght, combined with attention to yor diet. This doesn't mean you have to starve - just follow a healthy, low fat diet. \n\nYou should aim to walk 10,000 steps each day - though you can start off gently! try to take a good walk for at least 20 minutes each day, and do some other exercise you enjoy. Swimming is excellent exercise. If you like aerobics, yoga etc, then do it. if you hate it, don't do it - but do find some way of getting regular exercise.

I've heard of a lot of people losing weight with the south beach diet. and they dont excersise, but you are really limited to food choice.

You don't need to lose any weight.

I started exercising.  First I walked 20 minutes a day.  Then I added 3 times a week workout with weights.  \n\nAfter that, I just limited myself to smaller meals and lost weight. My smaller meals consisted of one thing for breakfast(pancakes, eggs,or cereal,etc, one food item for lunch(sandwich,soup,or baked potato), a playing-card sized meat serving and two half-cup sized sides plus lettuce or other veggies  for dinner. I don't drink soda anyway.  No candy.

I've never had any luck with diet pills but if you read the small print it says use with diet and exercise. Of course if you diet and exercise you will lose weight. I reccomend dieting and exercising because when you lose the weight you feel great knowing you did it all by yourself.

I'm in the same boat that you are in.  I don't want to take pills.  I don't think that they work and to be healthy you have to do a lifestyle change.  It's hard but I bought a treadmil and I keep a log near it and I try to walk atleast half an hour a day.  I just started a couple of days ago, so I haven't lost weight yet, but I feel good.  I know the weight will start to come off soon.  I wish you the best.

There is a program called ShapeWorks its found on www.differentu.com and the products are all natural. There are some diet pills in the program but the best part is you personalize your own program to fit your needs. They have Nutritional shake mixes, protein bars/drinks, other snacks and things of that nature to help you lose weight. They also have a number of herbal teas that promote weight loss. I know they work because I take them and in my first week I lost 8 lbs and in one month I lost 20 lbs and thats without exercise!!! NO JOKE. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best in your decision.

None is the answer. If diet pills worked there would not be any overwieght people in the world. Losing weight and keeping it off is not simple or easy. It takes major changes in your habbits, attitudes, feelings, activites, and diets. \nExcercise is a big key to weght loss. Cario and weight training are important in losing weight. Walking is a great excercise to start out with. Eating a healthy diet that includes always eating breakfast, lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains, no soda, avoinding sugar, fast food, anything with alot of trans-fats. Also eating slowly and really chewing up your food. It takes our brains 20 min to realize our stomachs are full. Take into acvount calories and serving sizes. About 1500 calories is a good amount to aim for. Eating a healthy snack every 3-4 hours should help with hunger. \nFad diets and pills do not work. Even if you do lose some weight, once you stop the weight comes back plus some. Losing weight is a hard, slow process but, you Can do it!!!

DO NOT GO ON A DIET! because:\n1. you'll gain all the lost weight back.\n2. you'll face risk of developing an eating disorder.\nI think it's very unlikely one can lose 10 lbs without exercising. but you can deceive yourself. try doing something you like:\nswimming?\ntennis?\nbiking?\ndancing?\njumping?\nwalking?\ncleaning?\nwhatever you can think of and it has to be something you really like doing.

I would AVOID any weight loss supplement.  They are not healthy.  I lost weight (lots of it) without a supplement.  How?  Read on: Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar,white flour, and the chemical additives in processed foods! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Important tip:  Shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket. Good LUCK!!

These answers are funny, but to be serious ... I've recently lost 40 pounds with diet and exercise. I'm on a 1200 calorie-a-day diet with Jenny Craig till I reach my goal. To keep it off, I plan to keep these healthy things as a part of my lifestyle - being active and eating the right things. The most encouraging thing I've found is that I don't have to go hungry if I eat the right foods - including veggies and other healthy things. Also I've changed some of my thinking because there's something wrong if I'm rewarding or pampering myself with food all the time. I don't think there's a magic diet pill or quick fix for losing weight and keeping it off - diet and exercise are the way to go.

Never heard of this one ,,, interesting ,,, I lost 24 pounds and 2 3/4" in my waist in 30 days. I still have 27 more pounds to go which will be gone before Christmas. I did this on a no diet weight loss plan that is natural and healthy and only requires about 10-15 minutes of your time daily. You do not skip meals or have to eat or buy special foods and I even lost this without exercise. As far as a fat flush plan ... Hmmmmm

There is a special exercise, it's relatively easy to do, and a sure absolutely fail safe way to loose weight without dieting. It's called the push*back and here's how. \n\nSit up straight in front of your plate of food, bowl of chips, whatever, push your chair straight back away from the table, and get up. \n\nWorked for me, it'll work for you
