To maximize fat loose you should alway do cardio on an empty stomack. This will force your body to go directly to fat deposites for its energy source. You absolutly need some carbohydrates for proper fat utilization so i suggest you get some "Ezekiel Bread" because the carbs are highly complex and digest slowly so you will avoid insulin spikes with cause carbs to be stored as fat. This type of carb is very helpfull for your goal. Also, do these two things, first prior to cardio on an empty stomack mix two teaspoons of Glutamine into some water this will keep your body from targeting protiens stored in you muscles so they will not break down secondly be sure to eat something at least a protien shake within 10 minutes after you cardio session. Good luck.

You could try one of the 11 day or 14 day detoxes which focus on burning fat and detoxing the toxins that are stored in your fat. (Which potentially make losing weight too fast usually dangerous.) They generally focus on a lot of water, cranberry, organic where possible, sufficient protein, beneficial herbs and seasonings, eliminating typical allergens such as wheat/gluten and dairy, utilizing good bacterias, flaxseed or fish oils, lots of fiber, fruits/veggies, and of course, a mild exercise program. After the 11 or 14 days you can merge into the next phase, which offers more calories and avoids famine and metabolism problems.\n\nI typically lose about 6-9 pounds the first week to ten days when I go back on the wagon, pretty much in "false fat" or water weight. It ends up averaging for me, about 10 pounds per month.\n\nThis is also takes into consideration that you NEED to lose weight. At 13 and 119 pounds, I wouldn't think that would be a problem. And of course, the less you need to lose, the longer it takes. But still, you could consider working on the HEALTHY aspect... eating better for your monthly cycles, your bones, better hormones and brain power, and gettin enough sleep with more energy. Staying active itself might be all you need with your metabolism, but as far as I know, the detox was the fastest thing I've ever done - about 40 pounds in 4 months.\n\nThe question is hon, who said you needed to lose weight in the first place? Did a doctor? Don't put your health behind some superficial need to be thin, etc. Keep in mind that YOU are beautiful because YOU are YOU, not because you fit a size 0. \n\nIf you truly feel the need to lose some weight, please do it the healthy way, with plenty of healthy fats and good carbs from veggies and fruit, and moderate exercise. Please please don't be tempted to try smoking or potentially harmful 'diet drugs.' If you feel the need to get started on the Battle of The Bulge this early in your life, you will probably be fighting it for decades to come, the long run - and these quick fixes will not help you keep it off in the long run; only a healthy plan and lifestyle that you enjoy will work.\n\nHope your taking a multivitamin/calcium/iron too, since between now and the next decade you will form the bones that you will have for the rest of your life, and it's probably never too soon to start preventing osteoperosis. The bottom line is, whatever you do, make it a matter of wanting to feel better and be healthier... and whatever issues with your size and appearance will naturally follow. Don't go on crash diets and only follow recommendations for your young age.\n\nAnd always love yourself the way you are!

That's kinda silly.  There's really nothing you can do in 3 days, healthily, that will make you lose weight.  However, if you want to feel slimmer, eat nothing but small salads and drink nothing but water.  As long as you feel the part, you'll look it.

no not really if you eat less you will you can lose about 5 to 7 pounds in a week safely. if you are very ovrweight maybe more but it is unadvizeable .normal weekly weight loss should be 2 to 3 pounds  crash dieting is not a good idea go on a calorie controled diet and do light exersise for long term weight loss

it depends on how many months a "few" is and how overweight you are.  my best advice for losing weight would be to concern yourself more with the eating healthy and exercising part - the weight loss will come naturally.  i think that 20 pounds is possible, although i believe the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't lose more than a pound/week.  drink a lot of water - it will help curb your appetite and keep you from losing water weight which will come back quickly.

you should not exceed 2lbs a week.\nQuestion- are you weight training, or doing body resistance (i.e. lifting weights, or pushups or sit ups, or things of the sort), if so you may be putting on muscle, which weighs more than fat.\nAlso, are you doing cardio (i.e. running, elliptical, etc) for 20 minutes with your heart rate at its target (i.e. 60-75% of it's max). If not you may not be burning fat.\nAnother question- are you cutting calories? or eating healthy? if you don't get a balanced diet you may not be getting the most from your metabolism.\n\n1) make sure you get the cardio\n2) weight train/do body resistance because the more lean mass the better your metabolism works\n3) make sure you're getting plenty of water\n4) cut the calories, but not too drastic.\n5) don't do anything that you can't keep up for basically the rest of your life or you will gain it all back.\n\nif you've done all this and you're still not loosing weight- talk to your doctor because your thyroid may not be working correctly. And don't diet, there are no good diets that will keep the weight off or they're unhealthy. this has to be a life change or else you will gain it all back plus more- I guarentee

Depends on your age, gender and personal and family health history.  Cut back at least 500 calories a day from what you are eating now and add some exercise.  One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so in 7 days, you'll lose 1 lb, just by eating less.  If you add exercise on top of that, you should be able to lose up to 3 lbs or so a week.

how tall are you?  should you weigh 160-170lbs?  That's alot of weight to lose in less than 2 months.  You better go on a very strict diet, no more than 500cal/day, drink loads of water, and do cardio work out for a minimum of 4 hours a day, you have to burn that flab off if you want to lose that much that fast.  Do a couple hours of light weights too.  You will have to burn about 4 times your daily intake, at least.

It depends on your age and how over-weight you are.  Someone that weighs 130 lbs. will have a harder time losing 10 lbs. than someone who weighs 180 lbs, even if they eat the same thing and exercise the same.  Ideally you should not lose more than 2 lbs. a week so in 3 1/2 months you "can" lose 28 lbs. But you probably won't.  Just remember... start eating a little less and exercising a little more and the weight will gradually and safely come off. SMALLER helpings means you can still eat the foods you love and STILL lose weight.  30 minutes of walking a day is all you really have to do.

Drinking water alone will not be enough to lose weight here are some other tips.\n\nIf you follow these tips you will lose weight.\nFirst of all your body can healthly lose only 2-4 lbs a week. Also i would not reccomend one of those diet books or programs because once you lose the weight you will go back to doing what you did before and gain it all back.\nHere is what you need to cut out of your diet or limit.\n-sodas they are empty calories and just add fat.\n-also juices try to limit 1 cup of o.j. has as much sugar as a can of soda.\n-fast food. they provide no nutrients and terrible meals they do have healthly selections at all fast food stores if you pic those you will do much better. \n-junk food is also empty calories its ok now and then just don't over do it.\nHere are foods that you can indulge on.\n-veggies since they are so healthy for you and provide you with many nutrients the calories in them are meaningless.\n-water!! you should drink64oz. a day at first you will pee alot but then you will get used to it.\n-when eating meat try to eat chicken because it is the best.\nother tips\n- try to have baked foods not fried.\n-eat breakfast and try to have it mostly be complex carbs like oatmeal and wheat bread they will give you energy all throughout the day.\n-don't skip meals when you do your body thinks it is being starved so it will hold in more calories instead of burning them.\nWORKING OUT\nyou need to buy some weights or go to a gym and work on increasing your muscles. because that will increase you resting metabolic rate which is how many calories you burn while simply doing nothing and you will see weight loss just from that also doing 50-100 squats(5-10min) will help increase muscle in your legs.\nrunning is also a good way to help your overall apperience.\nand pilates is a good way to tone your body a simple pilates tape done three times a week along with weights and you will see a difference.\n\ngo online and find some healthy meal recipes and use them try to reduce the number of calories you take in daily but not by too much.\nhope this helps you.

I am in the same boat. I have already lost 5 pounds in a little less than a week and I am stepping it up a notch. What I am doing is watching and counting calories and carbs. Less than 180g of carbs and less than 1500 calories. Drink PLENTY of water. I am consuming 64 oz. of water now. I exercise 3 times a week with Richard Simmons exercise tape. The water helps fill you up. If you would like we can keep in touch and work on it together. It helps to have someone to talk to about the ups and downs of dieting and someone to share with WHEN you reach your goal. My email address is eeyore28602@yahoo.com if you wanna keep in touch about it. Hope this helps !!! Casey

Please don't do that. it's sooo unsafe! I'm also 5'5" and I'm 135 lbs. I'm currently trying to lose 10-15 lbs. Anyway, here's what you SHOULD do with water. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. If you drink a lot of water it will help you lose water weight. It sounds quite contradicting to our logic but i'll explain why.\n\nOur body is composed of a lot of % of water and stores it anywhere in our body for future use especially if you only drink a little in a day. But if you constantly drink a lot of water everyday, our body will release the water stored in our body because it will think that it'll never run out of it. Therefore releasing what we call "water weight".\n\nAlso, water can be used as an appetite supressant. Try drinking a glass of water before you eat your meal and you won't eat as much. Replace sodas with water. It can do wonders.\n\nAnd here's another thing, did you know that if you drink ICE COLD water it can actually burn calories? :) This is because it can't be used by our body in its cold state. So our body uses energy to bring it to normal temperature. \n\nSo drink up girl! :) Drink a glass of H2O when you wake up, before meals and after meals and before you go to sleep. :)\n\nOh and I have recently discovered that green tea allows you to burn 80 calories a day.\n\nI hope i've been a help.:) Anyway, since you're trying to lose weight as I am, we can both help each other as we reach our goal weights. We can be weight loss buddies through email or yahoo messenger. If you want to of course. :) my yahoo id is michele_mai.\n\nGood luck in trying to lose weight! I sure am gonna need it. ;)

Sweetie, I understand your pain. And maintaining a healthy weight is a good thing. But try not to pin your hopes for how the next year is going to go by how much weight you can lose. You only set yourself up for disappointment that way.\n\nThat being said, we all know that the way the body loses weight is when we consume fewer calories than we burn. See your doctor or another trusted adult and set yourself a healthy goal. If you're out of school now, you should have plenty of time to exercise (unless you have a job, but you still need to find the time). \n\nPick a sport or an exercise that you enjoy. Swimming is one of the best ones you can do - it's low impact, helps develop those beautiful long muscles, and burns a TON of calories. I'm talking about lap swimming, now, not splashing in the pool with your friends. Although that would be far better than nothing. Exercise 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off. You have to give your body a chance to recover or you'll hurt yourself. When you exercise, go for 30 - 60 minutes at a time, but again, don't overdo. It's also perfectly acceptable to exercise for a short time several times a day. The point is to burn the calories.\n\nAfter you get your exercise routine down, you need to look at what you eat. Write down everything you eat every day for a week. Include everything, even a stick of gum. Also, write down the time you ate it and what you were doing at the time. This should give you an idea of how healthy your diet is. Do some research on the internet for healthy eating, and plan accordingly. You should eat at least 1500 to 1700 calories per day - again, ask a trusted adult and DO YOUR RESEARCH on this part. You DO NOT want to get sick.\n\nContinue logging your meals and exercise, and be sure to take a daily multivitamin and drink at least 8, 8 oz glasses of water every day. It may seem like a lot, but think of it as a way of flushing the fat out of your system. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, add another glass for every extra 25 pounds. \n\nRemember, this has to be a lifestyle change for it to be really effective. Good luck!
