you wanna lose weight? exercise a little more (expend calories) than you are taking in (eating). It really makes no difference what you eat...calories are calories. I could eat d*o*g*s*h*i*t* and gain weight if I ate enough of it. Also- keep in mind if you "starve" yourself...your body will go into sort of a "survival" mode and start burning far fewer calories. I swim, bike, run, lift weights, and box. I eat whatever I want...but in an amount that is not more than what i burn off. Give it a try. Increase the amount of exercise you do...keep your eating the same. See what happens. (I'll just tell ya what happens: you'll lose weight. Its impossible not to)\nGood luck.

I'm not sure what kind of health reasons would necessitate 15 lbs--that's not a lot of weight.  115 I could see being a medical emergency but 15???  Excuse me if I'm skeptical.\n\n\nIf you TRULY have a medical emergency, talk to your doctor.  The only way I can imagine you losing 15 lbs in 10 days is through lipo or similar.

I'm serious, don't get sick though. I had food poisoning from consuming fish/chicken, don't know which one made me sick, and I lost 30 pounds in 1 month from throwing up and having the runs. People were complimenting me on my weight loss, but I was living in agony. I don't know what I had, but the first round of antibiotics from the doc did not work. It took 3 treatments! I have since gained the weight back because as soon as I got better, I ate everything in sight! Food never tasted better in my life. I've learned that drinking cold water boosts your metabolism 30% because your body has to work harder at maintaining the water at body temperature. Good-old fashioned exercise and food portion control ought to do it. Don't skip breaksfast and drink as much water as you can! That's my best advice. I don't think there is a HEALTHY way to lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time.

In that short time, you might be able to lose water weight, but I doubt you will lose inches if that is what you are after.  You can see your dr and ask for a diet plan as that is the safest.  Also, you could exercise A LOT but still eating...that should burn some fat quickly.\n\nGood luck!

Hi I started smart burn with hoodia one week ago with a reduced calorie diet and vigorous exercise meaning i walk three miles a day on my treadmill at 3.6 mph and two miles around town i roughly burn around 700 calories a day and take in about 1500 calories a day. I have lost 23 pounds and three inches off my waist in 10 days. I take two smart burn capsules in the morning and two desert burn all natural hoodia capsules in the evening before I do the other two miles. My key is if I want to eat my fatty foods I eat them in the morning that way you have all day to work it off. The rest of day i eat different salads for lunch and supper. Usually chicken breast salads. For snacks I eat two of the 100 calorie packs from nabisco twice a day, cut out all pops. I found nestea in the bottle sweetened has only 60 calories to whole bottle. I drink alot of that and water water water. It is a mental thing. I think any diet pill will work if you put your mind to it and be strict on urself. I have found in the past week I feel better about myself and have tons more energy. It feels good when you can pull old clothes outta closet you havent been in , in a long time. Makes it all worth it and gives you the strength and courage to keep going. I've never had more compliments than i have in the past week.

15 pounds in two weeks equates to a reduction of nearly 3500 calories daily. (not including diuresis)  This extent on weight loss may be unsafe and should be monitored by a promary care physician.  However the most effective way to perform this would be to incorporate a reduction in water intake along with a drastically reduced diet.\n\nAs a medical professional I would never reccommend this drastic a weight loss approach.\n\nVisit Cloud9Fitness.com to have your medical and fitness questions answered by doctorates in medicine and physical therapy.

Although I don't know what your diet is now, I know when I removed sugary drinks from my diet and went to water I dropped 15 pounds in 3 weeks and it has stayed off.  That is where I would start first.  I now occasionally have a soda, but I view it more as an occasional treat not as a daily source of empty calories.  \n\nAlso, read The Zone Diet by Dr. Sears.  I dont' adhear to the diet religiously but he does a great job of explaining in everyday terms how the body stores and uses calories.  Quite an eye opener.\n\nBest of luck!

Another yo yo diet? You can loose a lot of weight by not drinking water. But loosing weight doesn't necessarily means gaining health. If you loose 14 pounds in 7 days, your body system may not be up to it, and it may crave for carbo and fat based food to restore its equilibrium.

You shouldn't lose weight that fast, because it will be mostly water, and it will all come back very quickly.  If you are really having problems, join a group like Weight Watchers.  You will learn how to lose the weight and keep it off permanantly.

i just came off of a 5 day fast, and you really dont want to do it. yes i lost weight, but i felt dizzy, i almost fainted, i had a constant headache, and i was in a bad mood the whole time. the reason i stopped was because my boyfriend asked me to, and im glad he did because i started eating yesterday and i feel so much better. i really dont recomend fasting.if you want to talk more then just IM me.

Of course it help because you lose a lot of water so if you do 30-45  per day you will lose weight. The best way to burn fat is when your heart beating is getting faster and its good to slow down gradually and they go faster again. On good treadmill you have a specific fonction for that and it works, I lost my 15 pounds over ;) and eat good.

4-7lbs of fat loss per week is not advisable nor is it easily achievable (you can lose water weight, but that is not healthy).  Just tailor your workout routine to lose 2lbs of fat per week and if you happen to lose a little more then great.  100lbs of fat is a lot to lose, but I have seen it happen and since your "ideal" bodyweight at your height is about 155lbs (formula for a woman is 100lbs + 5lbs for every inch over 5ft tall) that should be possible.  A lot of your extra skin will shrink back, but you may still have some loose skin but I guarantee you will be much happier without all that extra unneeded bodyfat.  To put this in perspective, just think of it as you are carrying the equivalent of roughly 15 gallons of fat on your body every day.  But you are young and now is the time to change your life and shed that extra unneeded weight.  The best way to do this is to raise your metabolism which can only be achieved through building and maintaining muscle since muscle is the only thing in your body that burns calories (and it does it all day long including while you are sleeping).  Fat does not burn calories.  I recommend using a 3-4 day a week full body resistance exercise routine (ie. lift weights, preferably free weights where possible) and supplement this with some cardio and a healthy low-fat non-processed food diet.  At the beginning of this workout you may not notice much change if you are paying attention to the weight scale, but this is because your body is gaining muscle while losing fat.  You will instead notice the changes in the mirror and in how your clothes fit.  But make sure you don't stop here.  Keep going and your muscle gains will slow down (your body will come to a natural balance), but your fat loss will continue as long as you continue your workout routine and healthy diet.  If you start to become bored with your workout at any time, change it up and add something new.  Or try a new outdoor activity in place of a workout.  Before you know it, you will have lost your weight and will be worrying about your pocketbook as you go out to find new clothes to fit your new great shape.  Good luck.

The first 14 pounds you loose will be water/fluid after that it's the fat that you're fighting. It's true that diets don't work, I lost 16 pounds from dancing for half an hour a day (you can make a total fool of yourself in you're home alone) and walking the dog twice a day. Once I stopped thinking about it so much I lost 35 pounds and went down two dress sizes. I still had a bar of chocolate everyday and pigged out on Saturday, if you take one day a week off it really helps.

i give you a diet model. it worked for me and i lost 7 lbs in 5 days.\n\nall the instruction is for entire day:\nfirst day => apples\n2nd day => milk\n3rd day => chicken (any way of cooking except oil fry)\n4th day => vegetable\n5th day => egg\n\nin the meantime you can also eat lettuce. but first consult with a diatition before you do that.

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
