Losing weight fast is not healthy or sensible so losing it super fast is even worse.  If you lose it too fast, the odds are very high that you will gain it all back plus MORE!  So, lose it the sensible way...at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds a week.\n\nIf you contact me with your email address, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem (unfortunately, yahoo answer's email system doesn't have enough  "characters" to allow me to send the diet through them).  You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.

You can lose 20lbs in 5 minutes if you cut your leg off..\n20 pounds in 5 weeks would involve losing 4 pounds a week. That's hard to do, not to mention unhealthy! You could safely lose 10 pounds in that amount of time, as it is healthiest to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.\nA pound of fat has 3500 calories in it. You would need to burn off 2000 more calories than you eat everyday for 5 weeks in order to lose that much! It won't happen unless you eat next to nothing and exercise like mad!\nTo lose 2 pounds a week, start burning off 500 calories a day, every day, through exercise. You will lose 1 pound of fat per week without even changing your diet! If you reduce your calories by 500, then you'll lose a second pound a week. Don't reduce your calories too much or your metabolism will slow down by as much as 30% because your body will throw itself into starvation mode. If you're a woman, eat at least 1200 calories a day, 1500 for men. Eat 5-6 small, healthy meals a day, try and make your calories mostly consist of fruit, veggies and whole grains. You will also need lots of protein if you burn 500 calories a day--go for lean meats, egg whites, and veggie burgers. Green tea is supposed to help with weight loss, so try drinking a cup or so of that everyday. Drink plenty of water!!!!

Though there are many ways to lose weight quckly but none of them are healthy, There is n such thing as instant weight loss and u shud not go in for that. By controlling the intake of calories and regular exercise you can do this in 30-45 days

Eat a huge breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a tiny healthy dinner and eat your last meal before 7 pm every day.  Do that, and walk at a brisk pace twenty minutes a day four days a week and you will lose weight.  Not necessarily quickly, but you will.\nAnd no soft drinks!  Water, fruit juice, and skim milk.

Losing weight help\n\nlose weight fastWe get weight by eating extra calories and incorrect amount of macronutrients. There are two ways by which we can lose weight.\n\n\n    * Eating less\n\n    * Exercising more\n\n\nYou know\n1 gram of protein = 4 calories\n1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories\n1 gram of fat = 9 calories\n1 pound of fat = 454 gram\nSo 1 pound of fat = 9*454 = 4086 calories\n\nNote: Our body fat contains around 3500 calories, as 10% of it is water.\nSo in order to lose a pound of fat (4086) in 2 weeks, we need to decrease calories consumption by 290 per day as 4096/14=290(approx)\n\n15 minute of good exercise will help you in losing around 100 calories. So in order to lose 1 pound of fat in two weeks, we need to exercise for around 45 minutes (290 calories) if we do not want to make any changing in our eating habit. So just take care of the amount of calories in the food you take. The best idea for losing weight will be by cutting down the junk food with exercising. So greatest way to lose weight is a mixture of diet and exercise as exercise builds muscles, and bigger muscles burn more fat.

Well 30 lbs isn't a very healthy amount to lose in one month, but twenty is ok, although it wont be easy. The best HEALTHY way to do it is to do lots of cardio Exercise (like running or aerobics, something that really gets your heart rate up). Also keep your calories low, about 1700-1800 per day, so watch your food labels. Also drink about one gallon of water per day, that was something important that I didn't do but will help. Hope it goes well!

its natural to lose between 1-2lbs a week so add that up. dont do any crazy diets.. think of exercise and healthy eating as a lifestyle change. start small - 30 min workout 5 min a day, and u do have time if u are gonna commit to it - believe me, youll see a change right away. and when u are shopping dont buy a lot of junk food, but dotn deprive yourself of anything. you will crave it even more and binge - eat what u want, but eat the bad things in small portions. it is possible, but it does take time so dont think of it in 2 months and 4-5 inches.. think of it as living a healthy lifestyle and you will lose the pounds in a healthy way and keep them off.

I would suggest the Medifast Diet from take Shape fro Life. It is healthy and really easy to do. I lost 25 lbs. from it so far. It teaches you to eat 5-6 meals a day every 2-3 hours and you will lose weight quickly and healthy. I hope this helps.

Yes you probably can lose 15 lbs in two months. In fact if you aren't doing anything already to lose weight, you have a better chance of losing that much IF YOU STICK TO A STRICT DIET. If you falter you will likely gain it all back quickly.\n\nYour best bet is to start going to the gym every day and alternating different cardio. Do 45 min of stairs one day and 1hr of treadmill or eliptical the next. Doing ab work (like crunches) will help firm your middle as well which will make you look lighter.\n\nSecondly you need to cut fatty foods and sugars out of your diet. Also go easy on the red meat. Start eating more vegetables and less steaks. Cut out all sweets and don't ever drink another regular soda. You should limit diet sodas too because they are very high in sodium. Try for iced tea if you like it, if not they make flavored water\n\nStep three: drink as much water as you can stand.\n\nstep four: don't cheat on your diet\n\ngood luck

It's really not healthy to lose a lot of pounds quickly.  Your best bet to lose weight & keep it off is to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.  Doing regular aerobic exercise and weight training along with eating a sensible low fat (lots of fruits & vegetables) diet will get you on your way.

There is no healthy way to "lose weight fast" as many diet products claim to do.  No fad diet, pill, or product can do the work for you.  The best way is to follow a sensible, lower-calorie diet and exercise plan.\n\nIt takes 3500 calories lost to lose 1 pound of fat.  If you create a deficit of 500 calories per day, you will lose 1 lb per week.  This can be accomlished through following a meal plan and exercise regimen.  You should do cardiovascular exercise (jogging, dancing, etc.) as well as weight training (free weights, lunges, crunches, etc.) to both burn calories and increase your metabolism.\n\nI use SparkPeople.com as a way to track my food and exercise, and they have great message boards where you can get answers from experts and people with more experience.\n\nIf you sign up for it, my username is lolitaeyes!

It is not healthy to lose 15 lbs. in 2 weeks but in order to lose the most weight, you should go somewhere to get a colonic.  This will clean the sludge out of your system and you will thin out in the waist.  Drink lots of water, this will also help get rid of excess water that your body is retaining.  Eat your veggies and fruits and excercise for about 40 minutes or more every day.

yeah, at least that much.  Just make sure your eating well enough to sustain your body for that amount of time. 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 and no smoking  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.

Boy there is alot of beliefs out there but no facts. The fact is we need some fats, It wont take a long time to lose weight. Most people have gradually gained there weight for years. You are asking for a easy way to lose weight. I lost 35 pounds in two months and I have tried lots of things. I have stuck to this plan because it is easy. To lose weight I drank two shakes a day and I ate one meal of my choice and I also made sure that to take my vitamines three times a day with my meals. That was to lose the weight. After I lost my weight I drank one shake a day and ate two meals. It is the easies thing out there and it works. It is more convenient then fast food and cheaper. It is defiantly healthier.\n\nYou can find more info at the link below.
