EAT MORE!!! Eat more meals per day. For example, your typical 3 square meals, but make it 6 total meals but smaller portions that add up to what you typically eat per day. Take out or minimize simple sugars (regular soda, sweets), and saturated fats. Make sure you drink at least 124 oz. of water a day and do some weight lifting. The more TIMES you eat, the faster your metabolism; the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.\n\nI don't mean you should go to the gym and try to get bodybuilder size, but any amount of weight training is great. The faster you lose the weight, the faster you will gain it back(and maybe gain more!!). On average, it is only healthy to lose 1-2 lbs. a week. Any more than that, you're actually losing muscle. Your weight tends to fluctuate 5-9 lbs throughout the day anyways, due to water intake and food.

To lose weight, the fastest way is to actually exercise everyday to build up your metabolism to the point that you feel most comfortable. And I don't mean just lifting weights and stuff like that, I mean running, push ups, sit ups, stuff like that. \n\nThe best way to train yoru body to do this is by doing what we call Pyramids. \n\n10 pushs ups 10 jumping jacks (you basically spread your arms and legs out and come back in) 10 sit ups\n\nand then do \n\n9 pushs up.. 9 jumping jacks.. 9 sit ups..\n\nand keep doing this all the way down to just \n\n1 push up.. 1 jumping jack.. 1 sit up\n\nyou will do 55 total of each in the end. Doing that twice a day will increasingly raise your metabolism, help your cardio (heart), save you from bad cholesterol, and actually probably give you a huge good feeling to start the day.\n\nGood luck ^^!

1.  eat healthy.  You need to burn more calories than you consume each day to lose weight.\n2.  Exercise, exercise, exercise!  The average person needs to do about 30 min of cardio exercise 3-5 times per week.  More if you want to lose weight.  I would suggest starting with 30 min per day and mixing in some strength exercises too.  \n3.  For low cost: walk/run outside, rent aerobics videos, do workouts at home (push-ups, crunches, etc...), join a summer league for sports...

NO PAIN NO GAIN.  There is no easy way to lose weight.  \n\nTwo things:  1) Exercise\n             2) Decrease calories intake

Fast ways....eat how you normally do but during the first week take 2 bites less of everything. The next week 3 bites.....and so on...\n\nSecondly, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And park further out....Walk just a little faster. \n\nDance....if a song comes on you like...dance to it for 3 minutes or so. \n\nFinally, dont let yourself get frantic about losing weight. The stress only makes it harder.

Do a tun of crunches. If you have like 30% plus body fat The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

The only way to lose weight is to have more energy output than calorie eating input.  Bike riding every day is an excellent and fun way to exercise.  I know because I lost 35 pounds doing it.  Good Luck and have fun!

I would suggest no wasting your money. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is by maintaining a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine.

There really is no safe way to lose that much in 6 weeks, and even if you did it probably wouldn't stay off.  The healthiest way to lose weight is at a rate of 1 or 2 lbs per week.

This is not a safe way to lose weight. Doing this will cause your body to go into what is known as starvation mode. After this happens you will no longer burn fat but your body will begin to store fat and burn muscle in an attempt to survive from starvation.\n\nYour approach is right, but your numbers are WAY off.\n\nIt would be better if you (for easy math lets say) take the number 12 and times that by your body weight. This number will be your maintenance level. Now subtract 300-500 from that number. This is the amount of calories you should be eating.\n\nHowever if you decide to do exercise that will burn (lets say for easy numbers) 400 calories a day, you should raise the amount of calories being consumed by 200. \n\nTrust me when I tell you, that this will be most effective while trying to lose 30 lb, especially if you want the 30 lb to be fat and to stay off.\n\nGOD BLESS

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.

The best answer to weight loss is something that you (and almost all of America) do not want to hear; The best way to lose wieght is to simply excercise, I'm not try to be rude and you may excercise already. However a key part is knowing whether or not you are healthy. If you are healthy and merely trying to lose weight for apperance then you are hurting your body. Your body know what it wants, trust it from time to time and you may just realize that it knows best when it comes to food. If you are hungry eat, that is the way it is meant to be. Now there are exceptions to the rule like there is with anything, people that overeat and still don't fill satisifed have a genuine problem that they need to consult their doctor about. Unless you are one of these people then I would suggest eating regularly and excercising, it's the best thing you can do to be healthy.

you're probably not gonna want to hear this but there is no quick and safe way to lose weight; but there is a sure way. It will take some time. Increase your physical activity and reduce your caloric intake. Simply eat a little less and exercise a little more. Exercise doesn't have to be working out all the time. Any sustained  activity will work. Take brisk walks, wash your car, whatever. IT WILL WORK! you just have to be patient because it takes time but losing weight slower inceases the chances that it will stay off.No gimmicks or fad diets; just common sense.

The best way to lose weight: \n\nExercise for 30-45 minutes a day. NO MORE! Your body will produce inflammatory chemicals if you exercise for longer periods a day which will cause you to keep more fat in your body, grow in waist size, and lose muscle mass.\n\nNEVER eat fast food! ...At all! Don't! I don't care if it is a "McDonalds Grilled Chicken Salad." It's bad for you. They load sugar (oh yeah, I'm not kidding) and addictive preservatives in foods which cause you to get hungrier and want more. Eat good, nutritious, healthy food... but remember: Always in moderation. People say red meat is bad for you. Well, it might be... but it doesn't hurt to eat a little bit. I'm not saying go and eat 14 lbs. of ground beef hamburgers. Use moderation. But here's a cool hint. Eat oranges and other citrus foods. They speed your metabolism. I honestly didn't know this but it worked. I lost a lot of weight. :-p\n\nEat often. Every three hours. Can't do it? Try. :-)\n\nDrink about 5-6 glasses of water a day. People say that you should drink 8-8oz. glasses of water a day... that's 2.2 Liters. Well... it's too much water. The body does need this much water to keep it hydrated, but you get a lot of water from everything you eat, too. So if you drink that much water, you end up with too much water in your body and you start to grow... this is known as 'water-weight.'\n\nTry to walk a lot throughout the day, as a part of your exercise. You can start off small, but gradually increase your goals. Power-walking 3 miles a day will do WONDERS for you. :-)

Eat healthy and exercise! \nIt's healthiest to aim to lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week. 1pound of fat is worth 3500 calories...Soo...if you burn 500 calories through exercise everyday, you can lose a pound of fat a week without changing your diet at all! If you cut back your calories by 500 everyday, then you can lose an additional pound every week. Don't cut your calories too low or your metabolism will shut down. Make sure you eat at least 1200 calories a day. \nIt's best to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water and avoid food/drinks that are high in sugar. Also make sure most of your carbs are coming from whole grains, rather than white flour...whole grains are high in fiber and protein and they're good for your heart!

excercise is the best and safest way to lose weight, althogh eating one meal a day will work for a quick loss of weight for maybe 3 or 4 weeks, after which you can alter your diet to maintain the weight loss its a simple fact if you use more calories than you are taking in you will lose weight; if you do diet you might want to take a multi-vitamin to ensure you are getting a good supply of vitamins and minerals.

if you want to lose weight, do it the right way!\n\nGet yourself a proper diet, go out and find a gym or sports activity you can join, and make it a part of your routine life.. just like coffee breaks and watching TV. This way youll avoid many side effects, plus the personal satsifaction of achieving a personal goal through hard work which I think you will cherish more.\n\nExcercise dont have to be tough, and diets dont have to be extreme.. just look it up and do it the right way.. find out what suits you best and start immediately, theres no better time!
