Dieting sucks. Changing eating habits works. A few tips that have worked for me:\n1. Eat slowly. It takes up to 20 minutes for your brain to register that your tummy is full. If you eat slowly you'll give your brain more time to tell you what your stomach really needs.\n2. Eat fresh. Load up on vegetables and cut down your meat. The fiber will make you feel fuller longer, too. Dress up your veggies with shedded cheese, roasted nuts, stuff like that. Eat out seldom. Their portions are huge and not healthy. As much as you can, fix your own food and avoid pre-packaged meals.\n3. Drink a lot of water. It aids in digestion and keeps you feeling fuller, longer. Especially drink a glass of water about 1/2 hr. before dinner. You'll feel like eating less.\n4. Eat a lot of soup. This will get you vegetables and water, fill you up, and it will do it with very few calories. They can be very easy to make, too.\n5. Don't deny yourself things you really like. Denying yourself of one thing entirely will drive you nuts until you lose control and binge. Instead, allow yourself some of your favorite foods regularly, and portion them out. For example, my husband has a problem with ice cream. His habit is to sit in front of the TV with a pint of Ben and Jerry's and a spoon. Without even thinking, he can polish the whole thing off. It's better to portion it out in advance, enjoy a reasonable about, and stop when your plate is clean.\n6. Walk whenever you can. Walking burns just as many calories per mile as running (running just gets it done faster) and is a lot easier and less sweaty to do. A 150 lb person burns about 120 cal/mile. You'll burn more or less, depending on your weight.\n7. DO NOT drink your calories. That means not only soda, but fruit juice and coffee drinks, as well. They have HUGE amounts of calories and they don't satisfy you like a meal. Avoid Jamba Juice like the plague. Snapple is your enemy. And if you really need a latte, please don't get any of those syrup shots.\n\nRemember- 1 lb of fat = 3500 calories. You could run an entire marathon and only lose a single pound! Don't expect it to be fast or easy. It's hard to lose weight, and only people who've never tried to lose don't believe that. Any diet that claims to make you lose weight faster is unrealistic and unsustainable. Numbers don't lie. But if you take my advice it'll come off nice and steady, absolutely. Good luck!

The best way to burn fat and lose weight is a cardio workout. Running, biking and swimming. When the heart rate increases,  slows down, then speeds up again, you are burning more fat. Try running on a treadmill (or the old fashioned way, outside) for 2 minutes, then walk for 3. Repeat this for about 25-45 min. a day. The fat will be GONE in no time. of course a healthy diet is a must as well (cut out fast food, pizza and soda for a month, you'll be amazed at how quick you will lose fat). It is also best NOT to work out with weights at first. burn the fat, then hit the weights. You will lose fat but not pounds by pumping iron (muscle is heavier than fat). Stay away from stomach crunches until the fat is gone as well. You will get ab muscles under the fat to make you look bigger!\n\nGood luck!

Losing weight anywhere is a lifestyle.Keep a journal of your food intake.Set a goal and have a plan about how you will achieve it. Make sure it includes lots of veggies and fruits,preferably  real juice. Eat a hearty breakfast,one with a lot of fibre. Exercise either with the help of a physical trainer or on your own.Sit ups,push up,walking etc. will start you if you do not have an exercise machine/gym at home.Since August 2005 I have lost at least 2-4 inches  in my stomach area etc. and I will lose more. I have to walk to the bus stop as the vehicles are not working. My brother,who spends time in the garden, puts on weight but loses it like butter in a skillet.He keeps moving and gets off his butt for most of the day. Sedentary workers need to keep this in mind.Choose to be healthy and work at it daily.

Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nFor a more detailed answer, you are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10.\n\nAloha

Eat less junk food and exercise more. If you only want to lost 5 pounds if you just walkt for like 20 extra minutes a day that should do it. Also, I like to have instant breakfast for breakfast, it fills me up and is fairly healthy.

It really depends on what you mean by "fast" because the only way to lose weight really fast is to simply not eat, which is extremely not recommended and unhealthy. Instead, you must change your lifestyle and diet. First, start eating MORE. YES MORE!! More times a day that is. Instead of having 3 large meals, break it up into 4-5 smaller meals a day. Also, if you work keep a pack of almonds at your desk and munch onthose every now and then if hunger kicks in. Also, what you eat is extremely important as well. Try to eat alot of whole grain foods, veggies, lean meats and try to avoid fried foods in bad oils like vegatable and corn oil. Lastly, start to exercise! Start off slow, if you're a newbie, do a 30 minute walk, 15 min jog, maybe do some weights. Once you adapt to this new lifestyle, you'll be more than on your way to lose weight, look good, and most of all, FEEL GOOD!!

A simple guide? Okay, here are the basics, but you probably already know them:\n\n1. You MUST burn more caloies than you consume daily. \n\n2. Drink only water. Soda dehydrates you.\n\n3. Find a physical activity you enjoy & do it at least 4 days per weak for 45 minutes or more at a time. You must get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. (Martial arts class does it for me!)\n\n4. If you exercise before you eat breakfast in the morning, you will lose weight a little faster.\n\n5. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so lifting weights will help.\n\n6. Walk as much as you can in addition to your exercise.....park farther away from the door, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store if you live close enough, ect.....\n\n7. Stay away from all things fried, sugary, or carbonated.  Eat as many vegetables as you wish.

cut out all breads and starchy foods like pasta and rice.  Cut down or out on your sugars as well.  Those turn to fat faster than anything else.  Eat high protein meals like fish, chicken, vegatables, etc.  Eat 5 to 6 times a day, small meals.  Salad with a can of tuna, no mayonaise, just tuna on bed of lettuce with carrots and a light oil and vinager dressing.  Do not eat past 7:00pm.  Breakfast should consist of oatmeal, bran cerial, etc.  Excersize ever day.  If it's dancing, or walking/running, riding a bike.  You simply have to get your metabolizm up and burn more calories than you take in.  Cut out sodas.  Drink plenty of water.  8 or more large glasses a day.  Water flushes system.  \nThe best excersize for loosing the tummy is leg lifts.  If you can do one, you can do two.  Hang from a bar, hard if you don't have a machine, but you need a bar that is over your head and will support your weight.  Hang from it, then simply lift your legs, bending knees and try to touch your chest with your knees.  This works the abdomen, lower back, and sides.  The "spare tire".  Crunches help but don't work out all the muscles.  The diet it the big thing.  More meals, less quantity in each meal, makes your body get used to eating often so it digests food faster.  High protein diets and low fat are the key.

There are really no quick ways. If you eat balanced meals and avoid a lot of the fatty foods and avoid excessive snacking,drink plenty of water, and get excercise you will start to lose about an average of 2 pounds a week. \n\nThe crunches that someone suggested are excellent. You just have to keep at it. Also lifting weights is helpful . Both those excercises tone the tummy and help you build muscle. \nWhatever you do, don't get lured into going on some type of a fad diet, they are baaaaaaad news.
