Doctor's advise against rapid weight loss in children.  It could cause them health problems later on in their teens as well as increase the chances of creating an eating disorder.  Instead, you should limit the calories and increase fruits & vegies, increase exercise and allow their body to adjust.  There is still growing left to do and most people are going to weigh more than 145 lbs. when fully mature.  So, if you just maintain the weight, increase the metabolizm, the weight problem will not be a problem in a few years.

Eat fewer calories, and more small meals. Eat less carbs (like bread, pasta, cereal), drink more water, eat more protein and fruits and veggies. Also, try doing a workout in the morning before you eat breakfast. I have found that doing circuit training produces faster weight loss. Try to do 3-4 cardio sessions a week, lasting 45 minutes or longer. Don’t focus on losing 15lbs, just focus on looking and feeling better. Focus on the potential results. Be healthy about your goals, you won’t be successful with starvation or diet pills, eat real food and workout!!! Good luck!

What is your age???\n\nWhy so a hurry.\n\nYou can lose the desired weight or even more.\n\nAny way follow some tips to work for entire of your life.\n\nGood luck.\n\nGenerally you gain weight because of fats deposits, just dissolve them. How?\n\nPeople go for losing weight by pills or starving. \n\nPills do not act effectively and for longer durations. Pills have many side effects for your health.\n\nStarving weakens you and your defense system is also weakened. This makes you less resistant against infactions and other diseases.\n\nThe best way is to lose weight by change of diet and your physical activities.\n\n1. Reduce or stop to take oils and fats.\n2. Stop taking sugar and glucose. (Mainly tea, coffee & cold drinks.\n3. Stop taking potato, rice.\n4. Reduce wheat and corn as much as possible.\n\nTake vegitables, boiled meat, fruits (even sweet).\n\nAnd at the top of all:\n\nPlay physical games or walk, as per requirment of your age at least 40 to 60 minutes twice a day.\n\nYou will start losing weight to the extent of daily difference.

The best way is to exercise, and eat a low fat AND low carb diet. Eat lean protein, vegetables and drink plenty of water. No soda, and switch to skim milk. Also, take a daily supplement since some vitamins can help you. I have heard from experts that the slim-fast diet is effective, and the new Optima shakes do hold me over for awhile, but I can only stand to drink the vanilla flavor personally, so that gets old. \n\nTry limiting the calories you eat to approx. 1500 or so, and work out. Walk everywhere, if you have the choice of stairs or elevator, take stairs always. park far away from the grocery store and walk it. Do an exercise routine daily, no less then half an hour of cardio every other day mixed with a work out like pilates to gain lean muscle (which boosts your metabolism). I lost 30 pounds in two months by sticking to a somewhat strict diet (if you deprive yourself every day, it is hard to stick to) Experts now say have one day a week you can splurge a little to make it easier, and the rest of the week, stick to a strict diet. \n\nA sample day for me is:\n\nBreakfast: Slim-Fast shake and fruit or, Yogurt and strawberry Oatmeal made with skim milk and no suger. Green tea with honey helps boost your metabolism to some say. \n\nLunch: Salad, Fruit, lean meat like a chicken breast sandwich (Subway might be a good place to go if you eat out often). Water to drink. \n\nDinner: Lean meat and vegetable. Cook in olive oil preferably, it is better for you. \n\nSnacks: Fruit, low-fat yogurt, those 100 calories packs, low-fat pudding (this stuff is a life saver on days I need sweets) and anything less the 200 calories. Experts say you should eat something every 4 hours to maintain your metabolism, but make them light snacks, not potato chips and cookies.\n\nFor the fun part, add a work out a night. Mix it up though. Try to get in at least a half hour of working out. I use the Carmen Electra Stripaerobics tapes, they are fun, or I choose to dance or swim for cardio. Then I do pilates on alternate days.

120 minutes of cardio a day is a little excessive for a permanent schedule.  60 minutes 4 days a week should be fine.  Losing 12 kgs in 9 weeks is a little too fast, you should plan on losing 1 kg a week.\n\nYou have kick started your weight loss which is wonderful, however you can't maintain 2 hours of cardio a day without sacrificing other aspects of your life.  The problem is that if your body becomes too used to that level, then when you cut back your body will react to the change.\n\nYou also need to add in some weight training for strength and bone density.\n\nSee a trainer at a local gym and have a proper plan devised specifically for you, taking into account your age and the other demands on your life.\n\nI typically spend 30 - 40 minutes on cardio and 30 - 40 minutes on weight training 4 - 5 days a week.  \n\nRemember to eat less if you cut back the time.  At this level you will be eating more to sustain the energy requirements for the level of activity you are undertaking.\n\nCongratulations on the 12 kgs - GREAT stuff!

There is something called the "Hollywood Diet", which they sell at GNC and other health/supplement stores, that promises around 15 lb loss in 48 hours.\n\nIt has definately worked for some of my coworkers, but they seem to gain it back soon, and they're always weak and hungry after the 48 hour period.\n\nI've included a link with some details.

Put an exercise bike in the shower, wear three to four layers of clothing with a rain suit to cover it all, and ride for about three hours a day. Eat nothing but ice cubes (helps to make the body think you are eating), and take lots of laxatives. I lost 45 lbs. in less than two weeks. It isn't safe, but it's the fastest way I know of to do it. After that just keep up a simple routine and the weight will stay off.

These tips work very well for most\n\nSNACK ON SOUP.  Water-based soups don't contain many calories and are a great way to fill up-staving off your craving for a big meal or at least slowing you down if you do load your plate.\n\nAvoid chugging calories. Downing regular soda, juice, and milk are all ways to consume a lot of calories quickly and without feeling satiated. Instead, learn to like plain old water. To make it more palatable, try adding a bit of calorie-free green-tea extract. \n\nTaper your meals. A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that people who ate most of their daily food intake earlier in the day and consumed smaller and smaller portions as the day went on ate less overall than people who ate consistently sized meals over a 24-hour period.\n\nFidget. Play with a ball while you talk on the phone. Bounce your knees. Whatever works for you. A classic study in the journal Science reported that people who frequently shift their posture weigh less than those who stay put. The reason: Burning five extra calories here and there adds up, helping fidgeters create something researchers (appropriately enough) call NEAT-Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (fat loss without direct exercise).\n\nTurn off the machines. When you're working out, opt for free weights over machines. They activate more muscle when you lift, burning more calories and causing greater strength gains.\n\nDon't bug in bulk. It's a good strategy when it comes to toilet paper, but the more food you pack into your fridge at once, the more likely you are to eat it right away.\n\nLilt heavier. If your dumbbells are pink and allow you to "bang out" 20-plus reps without breaking a sweat, they're not challenging your muscles, and you won't lose fat.\n\nWeigh in. Studies show that weighing yourself daily improves your healthy and motivation. Of course, a scale doesn't decipher between fat and a lean body, so use a mirror to monitor changes in your appearance, as well.\n\nEat slower. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes for the stomach to sense it's full. If you chow down like a starved sled dog, you'll likely out-eat your hunger level, packing in more calories than your body needs before it s had a chance to even register that you're full.\n\nPack ahead. Most people give up their diet because they're pressed for time. Avoid the problem by making your meals for the work week ahead on Sunday afternoon. That way, you'll have a good supply of healthy food ready and waiting, and you won't run out of options or be forced to hit the vending machine.\n\nDip a fork in salad dressing, instead of pouring the dressing directly onto the greens. This gives you max control over how many calories of dressing you get in each bite.\n.\n.

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

Weight loss only occurs when your calorie input is less than your calories output. This means if you eat 1200 calories in a day you need to output more than 1200 calories in a day. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

there is no such thing as dropping that much weight "quickly." (of course, it really depends on what you mean by "quickly.") not least because crash diets don't work. it is a known fact that crash dieting can throw your metabolism out of whack, and it makes it far more likely that you will gain it all back and then some. (dieting makes you fatter in the long run.) \n\nthe best choice is your good diet plus as much aerobic exercise as you can manage. what errands can you do by walking instead of driving? or what about biking? here's what i would do:\n\n1. walk or bike to work or school, if at all remotely possible. do errands by that method as well, even if it means you have to drive home, and THEN do the errand. \n\n2. any time you're watching tv, make a rule that says you have to be exercising in some fashion. \n\n3. do stairs. running up and down the stairs is a convenient way to get exercise. take the stairs anywhere you might otherwise take an elevator. \n\n4. eat three sensible meals every day. no snacks unless they're fruit or veggie. NO junk food at all. if you can stand it, drop all meat and dairy products. vegans are almost never fat. \n\n5. get at least 40 minutes of aerobic exercise Every Day. \n\ni know you asked about diet. but diet alone is not enough. the only way to lose weight and keep it off is to make your diet permanently healthy and to get enough exercise.\n\n---\nand to add: the suggestion of "try bulimia" (throwing up, taking laxatives) is horrifically irresponsible. not only is it addictive, it ruins your teeth, can cause serious stomach and esophagus problems, and DOESN'T WORK. bulimics mess up their ability to process food in healthy ways, which eventually, if they don't want to DIE, means they end up getting fat. it can lead to permanent, irreversible damage to your body.

If you want to lose serious weight and be in the best shape of your life and feel awesome about yourself, get the book 'body for life' by bill phillips. it rocks.........and i am in the best shape of my life! No fast weight loss here.....it's not just weight loss...you'll go through an entire body transformation!

Why dont people give detailed answers here anymore and just give these one line answers?\n\nAnyways....here's the thing about rapid weight loss. Its severely unhealthy and the weight is almost always gained back with sometimes serious repercussions.  First it is extremely bad for your heart, stomach, and immune system.\n\nI will explain the way people lose a lot of weight within a week and then I will explain what i feel is the proper way to lose weight.\n\nThe following is what a lot of people do to lose weight but i find it to be very unhealthy and hazardous to your health.\n\n1. Take weight loss pills like dexitrim.\n2. Take laxatives like exlax.\n3. Do lots of bodywraps, which severly decrease water weight.\n4. Do methamphetamines (speed, tweek)\n5. Do herbal methamphetamines (phen phen (which is outlawed most places) and herbal phen phen which is still legal)\n6. Stop eating all together.\n7. Over exercise\n8. Exccesive use of steam rooms and saunas.\n\nAll of these can be very dangerous (look at Karen Carpenter who died like this), especially if several of the above are used together. The drastic loss or water weight, malnutrition, and use of drugs and/or supplements can prove to be lethal.\n\nWhat I would suggest is:\n1. A reasonable diet (small portions, high in protein, low in carbohydrates, starches, and fats and sugars.)\n2. Try a protein shake in the morning with blended fruit as a breakfast.\n3. Several small meals throughout the day and eat them slowly.\n4. If you are going to get bodywraps done or anything like that make sure you still keep hydrated.\n5. Movie stars have been known to get a high-colonic (enemma) before red carpet events as it does reduce alot of waste in your body thus decreasing weight.\n6. Do lots of cardiovascular excise but nothing too high impact. Stick with swimming, bicyling, and other low impact exercise.\n7. Take a vitamin supplement everyday like Centrum.\n8. Do not take laxatives or diet pills, or keep them to an absolute minimum if you are going to do it.\n9. Look into supplements that naturally speed up your metabolism without damaging your stomach or organs (ginseng is one).\n10.No matter what be realistic and reasonable with the amount of weight you feel you can lose in one week. A person should never fluctuate weight too drastically. Anymore than 15-20 pounds in a week I think would have severe consequences to your body.\n\nHope this helps....
