I went on a low calorie diet and lost weight pretty quickly. I am 5'4'' and went on a 1000 calorie a day diet. You're not supposed to go below 1200 calories, but I ate enough, just low calorie stuff. The calories, not the fat content, are what's important when trying to lose weight. It gets easier to eat less, too, once you get used to it and your stomach shrinks a little bit. I'm down to 118 from 125. It worked.

Easy-peasy. You will love this.\n\nYou just have to work out how many calories you need per day - depending on whether you're male or female. If you want to lose weight, then cut about 500 calories off that total (so if you're a guy and your recommended calorie intake is 2000 then just make it 1500). Divide by 5 which gives you 300. All you do then is eat five meals during the day at regular intervals. You could have breakfast at 7, a mid morning meal at 10, lunch at 1, mid afternoon meal at 4, and dinner at 7. This means that you never go into starvation mode (which will encourage your body to hang on to fat reserves) and instead you kick start your metabolism into working properly. If you keep at it (and remember to eat proteins too as well as your salads and other ordinary healthy stuff) within a week you will start to feel better. It keeps your brain alert, your body working properly, and you will feel healthier and fitter. Remember to drink lots of water - about 2 litres a day especially if you're constantly working so as to flush out the build up of toxins and waste products from your internal organs.\n\nCombine that with exercise. Even an hour's walk every evening will be better than nothing - heck even just an hour three evenings a week. Once you start to feel better you will find more motivation to exercise and to make time for it too.\n\nIt works. It really does. None of these silly diet fads or starving oneself stupid - the body needs to be fed good stuff and on a regular basis for it to work at its optimal performance. It needs water. It needs exercise. And you don't need expensive diet foods either - they're a complete scam and don't do you any good.\n\nGo for it!! 8-]

The most mechanical way to lose weight to expend more calories than you consume, so first diet hardcore, 5 small meals a day with mostly protein, vegetables, and fruits. also i would take some type of thermogenic weight loss pill, they will help boost your losses at first. then also, dont do any lifting but, do a lot of cardio (running, biking, jump rope.) to lose weight healthily you should only lose 2 pounds a week, so go at your own risk, work out 2 or 3 times a day and eat 5 very little very healty meals a day.

First of all, you are not eating enough.  I know it sounds controversial to eat when you are trying to lose weight, but when you only eat once a day your metabolism slows down and your body goes into "self-starvation" mode.  It basically tells itself to store whatever food you DO eat as fat--it is a defense mechanism in case you really are starving.  You should be eating several small meals (approx. 300-400 calories each) about every 3-4 hours.  This will keep you from binging when you finally sit down and eat something.  (Notice I said "sit down"...take the time to enjoy your meals)  Eat a mixture of complex carbohydrates (WHOLE GRAIN bread, cereal or pasta), protein (lean meat, eggs, or dairy), and a little healthy fat (a handful of almonds, some olive oil or Peanut butter) to keep you satisfied and fuller longer. I healthy diet isn't rocket science.  Fill yourself up on fruits, vegetables, and grains so that you dont feel the need to binge and eat fatty cakes, and cookies etc...\n\nAs a mother I am sure you are active with your kids--keep being active!!  All activity burns calories, whether you are on a treadmill or running around with the kids.

1. A safe level and effective level of weight loss that is about 1-2 pounds per week.. More than that could be unhealthy is is usually not lasting. Look to make lasting changes in your diet and lifestyle, then you will keep the weight off.  \n2. The only way to lose weight is to take in fewer calories that you burn. There is no secret to it. You can do this by dieting to lower your calorie intake, exercise to increase it, or a combination of both. Depending on your current activity level, even adding some walking into the schedule can help.\n3.  Muscle weighs more than fat but is more compact.  Adding muscle may make you look slimmer, and the muscle burns more calories at rest than fat so it can keep you slimmer.\n4. There are many effective diet programs that you can follow on your own or join. These programs do a few things: they can help educate you on proper nutrition; they help you control portions and calorie intake; and, they usually require you to keep a record of your eating behavior. Find one that is comfortable for you if you think it will help, or do it on your own.\n5. Writing down everything you eat over a few days can be very helpful in terms of identifying your problem areas.\n6 There are some helpul resources available from the US Government, including suggested diet and a calorie tracker that allows you to evaluate your food intake for calories and nutrients, and compare it to the calories that you burn through daily activities. I have some articles on my website as well. Links are shown below. \nGood luck!

Here are some great weight dropping tips!\n\nEating Tips\n\nGood things come in small packages. Here's a trick for staying satisfied while still keeping portions under control: Cut high-calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you're getting more than you actually are.\n\n\nDon't give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don't cut them out of your diet completely. Just use low-fat sour cream or mayo instead of the full-fat stuff.\n\n\nGet water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high-calorie snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. Add some zest with a twist of lemon or lime.\n\n\nHerb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavor to foods without adding fat or calories.\n\n\nSlim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top. Skim it off the surface for reduced fat content.\n\n\nDoggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants, ask the server to put half your entrée in a doggie bag before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practice portion control.\n\n\nListen to your cravings. If you're craving something sweet, eat something sweet — just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high-calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings — for example, try air-popped popcorn with soy sauce instead of high-fat tortilla chips. It's just smart substitution!\n\n\nEase your way into produce. If you're new to eating lots of fruits and veggies, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile veggies on top of your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.\n\n\nLook for high-fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high-calorie entrees? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.\n\n\nDon't multitask while you eat. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't be paying attention to what's going into your mouth — and you won't be enjoying every bite. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.\n\n\nTaste something new. Broaden your food repertoire — you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable. (Ever had jicama, plantain, bok choy, starfruit or papaya?)\n\n\nLeave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you feel satisfied eating just a bit less.\n\n\nGet to know your portion sizes. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating. Don't just estimate things — make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.\n\n\nMake a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthful counterparts. Find a substitution that works for you: Use skim milk instead of whole milk; make up a batch of brownie mix with applesauce instead of oil; try a whole-grain bread instead of white.\n\n\nBring lunch to work. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and fast-food joints, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).\n\n\nHave some dessert. You don't have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free — be sure you're practicing portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.\n\n\nAsk for what you need. Tell your mother-in-law you don't w

Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

First: DON'T STARVE YOURSELF! It's painful, and starving yourself makes your body resort to cannibalism. Plus, if you lose that weight quickly due to severe dieting, you have a 75% chance of gaining it all back once you stop dieting. Not cool, I know, but it's the truth.\n\nThe best way to diet is to eat less and exercise more. (I have done so much research and diet-searching, and this really does work the best. There is no miracle pill or drink that sheds the pounds.)\n\nI would suggest starting with 20 to 30 minutes of cardio (swimming, running, jump roping, etc.) for the first week and gradually increasing your workout times. Trust me, just jumping from 0 hours to 2 hours of exercise will only make you feel burned out. Also, remember to give yourself a rest day so you won't feel helpless if you really hate exercising.\n\nWhen you're on your diet, remember that every food is good in moderation. Cutting out certain foods, like good fats (which are found in nuts, olive oil, seeds), will not help you lose weight; it'll only compromise your health. Try eating a balanced diet including a little from each food group. Whole grains and low-fat dairy products in addition to a healthy diet and exercise have been known to make smaller waists. Foods rich in fiber (whole grains, pastas, vegetables) will fill you up faster and make you feel full longer. Eat smaller portions and cut back on junk food. Don't make your favorite chips forbidden, or you'll only want it even more. (speaking from experience here.) Try subsituting low-fat frozen yogurt for high-fat ice cream, or potato chips for fat-free Pringles. Do a search on yahoo for recipes light in calories but big on taste, and try some. Getting involved in light cooking helps most people get motivated to eat healthier.\n\nCounting calories will help, though it's not completely necessary. For your weight loss goals, you want to keep your caloric intake somewhere around 1,500 to 1,700. An active woman should never get less than 1,400 calories a day, and an active man should never get less than 1,600 calories a day.\n\nLittle changes in your diet and lifestyle will help loads. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Keeping a list of heart healthy snacks on the fridge will make junk food less tempting. Instead of topping your cheese sandwich with mayo, make it with a tomato slice instead. Whole grain foods and low-fat milk products have been tested in many weight loss experiments and have been found to help you lose weight. And the almighty sugarless chewing gum: Chewing it helped me stop snacking endlessly and lose 15 pounds over 6 months. (Mind you, it's okay to snack, but it helped me stop snacking on junk food.)\n\nAnd finally, don't get discouraged! Dieting takes willpower, but if you really want to have a slimmer, healthy-looking figure and you work at it, the results WILL come up, I promise. Good luck!

Cardio + Light weight training + Proper Diet = Goal\n\n* Eat whole food\nTop weight loss tips\nEat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine. Suggest eating veggies, fruits, and proteins. Stay away from junk food, fried food, and anything else that you feel is bad for you.\n\n* Eat fresh fruit\nEat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season. Also consume protein because both fruits and protein can fill you up and it makes your stomach seem like its full.\n\n* Drink enough water\nDrink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.\n\n* Always chew your food\nAlways chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.\n\n* Take small meals\nEat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal. That means eat 5-6 meals a day instead of 3 huge meals a day.\n\n* Include protein at meal\nInclude good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.\n\n* Shut off TV while eating\nShut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!\n\n* Increase your physical activity ( Cardio )\nIncrease your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.\n\n*Weight training ( Light 5 to 10 lbs )\nbuy some dumbells that are 5-10 lbs and do some exercises with them. Search google: Dumbell exercises and you will see a bunch of useful links along with pictures and description on how to do it. When gaining weight but your doing everything correctly and see changes in your shape, that means you are building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat so dont be alarmed when that happens. You can workout in front of the TV and watch your favorite episode of whatever and it will make time go by faster\n\nThe website below has many different exercises listed and it has pictures to go along to show you how its properly done\nhttp://www.exrx.net/\n\nHere are some other useful sites\nhttp://www.diet-tips.com/exercise/index....\nhttp://www.toloseweight.org/\n\nBest of luck to you.

You probably know that virtually hundreds of different fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. But the foundation of every successful weight-loss program still remains a healthy diet combined with exercise. You must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and health habits to lose significant weight and keep it off.\n\nHow do you make those permanent changes? Follow these six strategies.\n\n\n1. Make a commitment\n\nPermanent weight loss takes time and effort. It requires concentration and a lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make the necessary permanent changes and that you do so for the right reasons.\n\nNo one else can make you lose weight. In fact, external pressure — often from people closest to you — may make matters worse. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself.\n\nAs you're planning new weight-related lifestyle changes, try to resolve any other problems in your life. It takes considerable mental and physical energy to change your habits. So make sure you aren't distracted by other major life issues, such as marital or financial problems. Timing is key to success. Ask yourself if you're ready to take on the challenges of serious weight loss.\n\nKeep in mind that no matter how prepared you may be, you'll occasionally overeat or eat foods that you should avoid. Rather than let a setback derail your efforts, accept that it happened and get back on track. Don't expect perfection — and never give up.\n\nMotivate yourself by focusing on all of the benefits of losing weight, such as having more energy and improving your health. Then look at the negatives, such as finding the time to exercise, and come up with creative solutions.\n\n\nMore On This Topic\nWeight loss: Are you ready? \n2. Get emotional support\n\nUltimately, only you can help yourself lose weight by taking responsibility for your own behavior. But that doesn't mean that you have to do everything alone. Seek support from your partner, family and friends.\n\nPick people who you know want only the best for you and who will encourage you. They should be available to listen to your thoughts and feelings and encourage you, perhaps spend time exercising with you, and share the priority you've placed on developing a healthier lifestyle. An ideal support person might be someone who also is participating in a weight-loss program.\n\nSome people fare better with professional support, such as a dietitian or personal trainer. Others benefit from the group support they receive from organizations such as Weight Watchers or Overeaters Anonymous.\n\nIf you do join a group, keep in mind that what you get out of it will be in proportion to what you put into it. If you sit in a corner and just listen, you may hear some good suggestions. But if you actively participate, you're more likely to reap the potential rewards of the group, such as support, encouragement, feeling that you're not alone and helpful suggestions specific to your concerns.\n\n\n3. Set a realistic goal\n\nWhen you're considering what to expect from your new eating and exercise plan, be realistic. Healthy weight loss occurs slowly and steadily. Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. To do this, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories a day through a low-calorie diet and regular exercise. Losing weight more rapidly means losing water weight or muscle tissue, rather than fat.\n\nSet weekly or monthly goals, and then track your progress. Remember that you're in this for the long haul. Anything you undertake too intensely or too vigorously may quickly become too onerous, so you're more likely to give up.\n\nIn addition, make your goals "process goals," such as eating judiciously and exercising regularly, rather than "outcome goals," such as losing 50 pounds. Changing your process — your habits — is the key to weight loss. Make sure that your process goals a

Eat whatever, but in smaller portions. Cut back on sugars and carbs those are loaded with calories.  Don't eat unless you are hungry.  If you snack choose veggies w/ dip, baked chips, or lite popcorn instead of candy.  Plus, throw in some exercise during the week.  If you are trying to lose weight, try to fill up on veggies w/o butter and cheese on them, or fruits.  And try to do some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week.

First of all, you need the will. You have to really be determined and you need to WANT to really really passionately lose weight. It is like quitting smoking, unless you put your mind to it, it aint gonna work. Do a lot of cardio and change your diet. Stay away from heavy carbs and fast food. Eat more lean meat and veggies. Fruits contain sugar so I would stay away from that for now. Low carbs, high protein, maintain a balance portion throughout your daily eating habit, and do cardio exercise.
