The quickest way isn't always the best way or the right way for you. Here are 3 different approaches that work:\n\n1) The quickest by far is surgery, of course. Liposuction is fast and works wonders- but actual stomach reductions (stapling, bypass etc) have not only been proven effective for weightloss but also in reducing the chances you'll develop adult onset diabetes.\n\n2) Next fastest is to eat a diet of 80% natural fats and 20% protein, in 5 small portions, with a target of 1000 calories a day. This is like eating a 2 oz bag of macadamia nuts, or 2 oz of egg salad or tuna salad as a complete meal, every meal. It works- and for any significant amount of weight it's better than starvation. More importantly the high fat content of the diet ensures that your body continues to produce the hormones you need to retain muscle tissue- so you lose fat pounds and not muscle pounds.\n\n3) Probably the best long term solution to lose weight and improve your health is to follow a light excercise routine several times per week, and to eat a diet that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index (that is- eat foods that are low in processed sugar and grains, preferring when you eat carbohydrates to try whole grains and natural sugars).

With this method you can lose 1 pound a day, guaranteed! I've done it before... \n\nYou can eat as much as you want but limited only to:\n1. breakfast - 1 slice toast, 1 glass grapefruit juice, 1 slice fruit (anything except banana). Papaya is good. \n2. lunch (no rice) - burger steak, beef steak, grilled chicken, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables. \n3. dinner (no rice) - you can choose anything from lunch option but if you had chicken for lunch have something else for dinner. \n4. snacks - diet coke, carrot sticks\n\nDont eat french fries, rice, potato, sweets, ice cream. \nJogging for 30 minutes a day.  Do this for two weeks, then take a two week break, you can eat anything you want but in moderation, then do the same thing for another two weeks until you reach desired weight. You will lose at least 14 lbs in 2 weeks, 1 lb per day. Guaranteed. If you have more questions, email me.. I'll give you my chart. and show you my before and after photographs...

You don't!  The only thing you'll accomplish by trying to lose weight really fast, is to get dissappoined really fast.  Set a goal of 1 to 2 lbs per week by exercising with something you enjoy.  Chart the results and don't rush it.  You didn't gain it really fast I assume.\n\nMake it a lifestyle change...not a fad diet too.\n\nGood luck.

The fastest diet is fruits, veggies, and lean meats.  Cut down on pasta, bread and sugar, and you will lose weight and keep it off.  Drink lots of water too.

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 fad diet is not healthy...and in fact, could be dangerous to your heart. (Yo-yo dieting and extreme calorie restriction etc...) Eat a sensible diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats and low-cal dairy. Exercise. A healthy weight loss plan should have you losing no more than 2 lbs. per week. You could lose the 30 lbs. in 15 weeks...

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.

Exercise and start calorie counting.  Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good.  If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

Along with the other smart eating tips above, start walking 1/2hr day & drink a ton of water -- you should trim down real fast!  \n\nAlso, dont go by the scale! Use a cloth tape measure and record your losses in a journal, you will be amazed how you shape shift even if the scale isnt moving! Think about it, 1 pound is 4 cubes of butter so 5 = 20 (or 1/2 bag of potatoes! Wow huh? \n\nGood luck!

no, there are no healthy ways to lose weight quickly ad maintain weightloss. All of those fad diets are not based on evidenced based science. They are based on a billion dollar dieting industry. Healthy weight loss should be 1-2 pounds a week. I would suggest doing something sensible like weight watchers, not the low carb diets.

exercise more. \n\na strong cardio workout is good for quickly losing weight. do it in the morning before breakfast and really push yourself. a hard 20 min workout several days a week, will be a good start. also, after your cardio work out, don't make b-line to the kitchen, hold off on eating for at least an hour, your body will continue to burn calories and fat even after you have stopped.\n\nstarting a weight training program will also help you lose weight and build muscle.\n\nmake sure the food you love to eat is good for your body, protein is your friend. stay away from junk food\n\nalso, check out the book "body for life" it covers a 12 week program, but you might be able to get some help out of it.

Check with your doctor before starting anything new.  But the best way to lose weight quickly is a good diet and exercise program.  If you're exercising already, then you could try and modify you workout plan.  Some need to just increase weight/strength training, some need to increase the number of days, and some need to increase their cardio training.  Without knowing what you do now, it's hard to give a suggestion.\n\nAlso, make sure you're eating healthy.  Avoid diets that eliminate or restrict certain food groups.  When you start eating them again, you gain the weight back and then some.   Drink 8 -10 8oz glasses of water a day!  Your doctor could recommend a health diet.    \n\nAlso, becareful of diet suppliements.  Some help you lose weight quickly, but when you stop taking them, your metabolism decreases and the weight can come back if you aren't doing other things to maintain the increased metabolism the supplement created.

losing weight quickly is never a good idea..\nto lose weight in a healthy way it has to be a lifestyle change, not a quick-fix...\nstart eating healthier and working out... cardio is good, and use light weights to tone, not heavy weights.. \nDON'T restrict your food intake, just eat healthy food... try to eat several small meals instead of 3 big ones, and dont go to sleep right after eating...\noh.. and if you work out in the morning, eat something small before working out -- it gets the metabolism going, which will help you burn calories throughout the day :)

There is no "fast" way that is healthy and nothing worthwhile is ever easy.  You must consume less calories than what you use in a day and you have to incorportate exercise.\n\nThat being said, if you are interested, contact me with your email address (diet is too many "characters" to fit in the Yahoo Answers mail system), I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. 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.
