This is a crash diet and if you go back to your old ways of eating you will gain the weight back as pure fat.... Your body burns 150 calories to digest a stomach full of food, that being said if you never eat more than 150 calories at a time you will not be taking in any calories without starving yourself.  I lost 45 lbs. in 4 weeks doing this.  I ate first thing in the morning, usually a carb friendly yogurt--80 calories--that's burning 70 calories just by eating.  And then I ate every 2-3 hours till bedtime.  This will work, but you should try to take a multi vitamin in the morning, this helps you feel nutritionally satisfied and therefore less hungry.  I also didn't weigh myself for the first 3 weeks, that way I didn't get discouraged if the weight wasn't coming off as fast as I wanted it to.  Best wishes

My best answere is this; Stop eating for tast. Use food as a tool. Spend $50 and go to a regesterd diatian and he/she can help you with every day menus that are easy to stick with because it's designed to fit your needs and your schedule. Also, you HAVE to exercize. Start by walking 1 block a day and build from there. Good luck! I did this and LODT 12 pounds in my 8yh month of pregnancy...with my doctors blessing.

You CANNOT and you SHOULD NOT.. It is, generally speaking, NOT healthy to be losing more than 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week.. I do not care what program you are on.. It just is NOT healthy. You have to(MUST MUST MUST) exercise.  and stay away from greasy, fatty foods.. eat  plenty of green vegetables (not peas) and fruits.

You shouldn't.  That's too much weight to lose in a week. (depending on your weight of course, because if you're 120lbs and lose 20, you'll be a "anorexic" at 100)\n\nBut, a good diet of fiber, water, and exercise should speed things up.  So each a lot of fruits and whole wheat bread, drink the 8 glasses of water, walk a lot, and remember to have some proteins here and there (chicken for dinner).

Easy. I just lost 12 lbs in 2 days. Want to know how? First, send your child to school and let him or her catch the nasty stomach flu. Then, take care of him while he's sick and catch it yourself. Then, bring it into work and share the love with all of your coworkers. Then, puke your guts out all day and night for 2 days. And there you have it.... the stomach flu. The easiest and quiet possibly the most painful way to lose 12 lbs in 2 days.\n\n*IMPORTANT NOTE*\nThis is probably the least serious post I've ever made. It's nasty stuff and being sick whether catching something or purposely making yourself throw up is not the way to go to lose weight. My suggestion would be to go out and run or walk every day, maybe in the evening and snack on healthy foods like fruits or vegetables. Drink lots of water and try not to drink much pop or juice. It's all quite sugary. Just watch what you eat and exercise. Being healthy is more important than watching your weight.

I tried it for a few weeks, but it's not as rapid as they say...and trust me, I've gained alot of weight due to being pregnant, so I really want to lose this extra baby fat lol...I found something that really works, it's called *HOODIA*...loose a pound a day, it's actually what the tribes used to eat when they were hunting in South Africa, it is ALL NATURAL...look it up on yahoo, you lose 1 pound a day :d 30lbs a month, of course when there isn't too much fat to lose it will go down lol

Losing thirty pounds in one week is definetly not healthy.  The best way to lose weight is gradually and not all at once because if you lose it all at once, chances are the weight will come back.

Very very possible. \nLower your calorie intake, and keep track of what you eat on sites such as http://calorie-count.com. \nExcersize at least 3-4 times a week. You don't really have to excersize more than 30 minutes a day...\nYou can do it. \nIt's not a lot of weight to lose in such time.

simply just start exercising more. i'd say exercise 3 to 4 days a week and around an hour each time. then, start throwing away the junk food and bring in some fruits, veggies, and grains. by combining these into a balanced diet then you'll lose  your baby fat.

It's safest to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Therefore, you have about 15 weeks which could be 30 pounds. You need to make sure you eat enough calories a day (about 1500) and exercise. Don't cut out any food groups, just eat a balanced and healthy diet. Drink lots of water, too.

http://www.dwlz.com/\n\nThat is an excellent place to start.  Also, download the weightloss commander that she advertises.  It works!  I have never had a problem with weight, so was under the mistaken assumption that I could lose 30 lbs without help.  I was VERY wrong.  After five years of stuggleing, I have buckeled and actrually go to some sites that help me out.    This is a great place to go and its free.  The weight Loss Commander is free at first, no credit card required, and the its only  $9.95 after the trial period.  He sends you the bill and you mail him the money.  No online anything.   Anyway it is well worth it.  It has heled me learn how to lose the weight in a fairly quick way and how to keep it off.  It will tell you how many pounds you need to lose a week, give you a chart and also a way to track your exercise, measurments, etc.  There is also a message board which is full of very supportive and aewsome people who have been there and know what you are going through.\n\nGive a it a try!\n\nGood Luck!

I had a teacher in high school that was a big lady. Anyways she had been trying to conceive for a long time with no luck. Well in a last ditch effort she lost about 20 pounds and she finally got pregnant and ended up having a healthy ten pound baby!!\nIt is just common sense that if you are overweight and thus unhealthily, your body is not going to function as well as it might if you were at a healthier weight. This doesn't mean that you should weigh 120 pounds though ! Check you BMI and start from there. This will give you a real good idea about how much weight you need to loose in order to be considered "normal" and healthy.\nIn order to loose weight I would recommend finding a type of exercise that you actually enjoy so that you can stick to it. Also instead of a diet try to make it more of a lifestyle change. I mean if you want to have a child in the near future don't you want them to grow up happy and healthy?!?  Now would be a really good time to start on a more healthy life style for life not just to loose weight for a particular purpose.\nGood luck !!

Very simple:\n\nEat less and burn more calories.\n\nIf you eat more, you gain calories which turn to fat.\n\nIf you want to eat more, you must exercise to work it off.\n\nIf you eat less, you don't need to exercise as much.\n\nJuly 8th is nearly 8 weeks away: aim to lose 1 and a half pounds,\n\nthis is very easy to do, and if you keep at it, you will probably lose 2 pounds a week.\n\ngood luck!

Lots of water, lay off sodas, sweets, and fried foods. Water and exercise! Walk, run, jog, whatever. Eat little portions. That's how my husband got 20 lbs off in 2 weeks

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.
