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!

You can lose 20lbs in 5 minutes if you cut your leg off..\n20 pounds in 5 weeks would involve losing 4 pounds a week. That's hard to do, not to mention unhealthy! You could safely lose 10 pounds in that amount of time, as it is healthiest to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.\nA pound of fat has 3500 calories in it. You would need to burn off 2000 more calories than you eat everyday for 5 weeks in order to lose that much! It won't happen unless you eat next to nothing and exercise like mad!\nTo lose 2 pounds a week, start burning off 500 calories a day, every day, through exercise. You will lose 1 pound of fat per week without even changing your diet! If you reduce your calories by 500, then you'll lose a second pound a week. Don't reduce your calories too much or your metabolism will slow down by as much as 30% because your body will throw itself into starvation mode. If you're a woman, eat at least 1200 calories a day, 1500 for men. Eat 5-6 small, healthy meals a day, try and make your calories mostly consist of fruit, veggies and whole grains. You will also need lots of protein if you burn 500 calories a day--go for lean meats, egg whites, and veggie burgers. Green tea is supposed to help with weight loss, so try drinking a cup or so of that everyday. Drink plenty of water!!!!

It's really not healthy to lose a lot of pounds quickly.  Your best bet to lose weight & keep it off is to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.  Doing regular aerobic exercise and weight training along with eating a sensible low fat (lots of fruits & vegetables) diet will get you on your way.

Any form of exercise is good.\nWalking is very effective and not the only thing you have to do to lose weight.\nFactors must include:\nDiet - Keep it low carb (I said LOW not NO).\nThe pace of your walk - Make it brisk; saunter if you want to lose weight by 2020.\nTime - Don't think you'll lose weight right away.  Give it time and keep at it.\n\nI've only gained 15 pounds in 20 years, simply by eating right and exercising.

This is the fastest, but not the safest.  Cut your calorie intake really low.  Drink nothing but bottled water or flavored water with zero calories.  You don't need to do excercises, but it is a good idea since the weight drops so fast.  You will want to be firm.  You can drop 10-15 lbs a week.  Buy goldfish crackers and snack on them when you get hungry.  Celery has no calories.  If you are not disciplined enough to just eat like that for a few weeks.  Then go the whole day without eating and drink water only.  Eat 1 meal that is 500 calories or less.  It definitely works.

Here are the golden rules which will help you to lose 4 pounds a week: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 30 minutes a day. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, \nNever 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! \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 yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g lean meat & 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 w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white omlette with ham and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise must be intense. You need to do cardio include running, boxing and cycle. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes that. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose 5 pounds within a month easily.  Here are a few suggestions that may help you.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need at least 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.  Do searches for healthier recipes for the types of food you especially like.  There is always a healthier recipe!!  Eat fewer hotdogs - just don't have them as often.  Include lots of fruits and vegetables.  \n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for at least 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

If you have 6 weeks to lose weight do it properly. Be careful cause if you lose too much weight the dress will not fit nicely. \n\nFor the next 6 weeks go on a 1200 calorie plan where you eat 5-6 small meals a day. Here is a menu plan to assist: \nBreak - cereal w skim (low go type please)\nSnack 1 - apple\nLunch - multigrain sandwich w 50g lean meat and salad only\nSnack 2 - low gi yogurt\ndinner - 120g lean meat grilled & green leafy vegetables\n\nDo not eat dinner after 6pm. Drink 3 litres of water. \n\nExercise - you need to do at least 6 sessions per week for 1.5 hours a day. I use the following: \n3 weight sessions - refer to www.bodybuilding.com \nNever do weights two days in a row. \n3 cardio sessions - running or spin or boxing\nIf your classes fall less than 1.5 hours do more cardio before and after. It is when your body is totally exhausted will you see some great results quickly. Go hard!\n\nNever eat carbs within 2 hours or within 1 hour after exercise. Plan your meals and be totally dedicated. You will get results within the first week of around 1kg min. You could lose up to 6-9kgs within this time frame. \n\nBe strong losing weight is a mental journey. Note that to maintain you need to continue exercising and go to 1500 cals per day but workout 3-4 times per week. Be careful it's really addictive!\n\nGood luck!

the main thing is to eat less calories than you spend(...)\neach 3500 calories equals 1 pound, the maximum healthy weight loss is 2 pounds per week, but if you have lots of extra weight to lose when you go on a good diet it is so much possible you lose more than 2 pounds per week.\ngo on a diet in which you eat enough amounts of carbs, fat and proteine based on your height and goal weight, take multivitamins daily, drink at least 64 ounces water daily (the more the better), exercise for at least one hour 4 days a week, drink lots and lots of green tea( I believe it helps a lot), try the "K challenge"--->have K cereal(original or red berries) for two meals (the instruction is on the box).\n\ntake a look at my answer to this question--->\n"What is the best diet plan need to lose 30 pounds?"\nyou might find it helpful.\n\ngood luck with your weight loss.

This is a good realistic goal. 1 to 2 pounds a week is something you can accomplish with healthy eating and regular exercise.\n\nTry to get 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.\n\nAs far as diet is concerned, don't drop your calorie intake by too much, 500 calories a day less at the very most. Just try to take in as much lean protein as possible and the least amount of fat.\n\nYou should be able to lose 10-15 pounds inside of 60 days with a plan like this.

You can also lose one pound a week\n\n\n\nThe majority of fitness professionals advise slow weight loss as the safest and most helpful approach. A sensible weight-loss program allows you to lose weight slowly -- about one-half to one pound per week. Slow weight loss promotes long-term loss of body fat, not just water weight that can be rapidly regained.\n\nMost people need around 15 calories per pound to maintain their weight. A person of 150 pound would not eat food that contains calories more than 2250 per day in order to maintain his/her weight.\n\nIn order to burn one pound, a person need to burn 3500 calories more than they are used. For example, dropping calories by 300 per day and increasing daily movement to burn off an extra 200 calories should result in a weight loss of one pound a week.

First, if you have foot problems you need to get off the treadmill and dedicate your aerobic exercise to a lower impact activity.  I suggest you switch over to cycling - much easier on the feet and knees.\n\nSecond, realize you're looking to lose, I think, an average of two pounds per week.  To sustain that kind of weight loss pace, I suggest working up to daily cycling of 60 minutes or more.  Buy or borrow a comfortable bike and start by riding 30 minutes a day - without fail.  Ride 15 minutes away from home, then turn around.  It should be easy.  Build up your duration and pace so you're riding for 60 minutes or more each day.  If you've been working out at the gym since March of this year, you should be able to accomplish this pretty quickly.\n\nSecond, you need to check that you've altered your diet to get rid of as much refined sugar and simple carbs as possible.  Sugar is easy to identify.  Simple carbs would include white bread, white rice, potatoes, pasta.  These carbs are quickly converted to sugar by the body, and stored as fat if not metabolized quickly.\n\nReplace with protein rich meat, fish, bean and tofu (if you like tofu).  Snack on cheese, nuts and fruit (easy on the fruit, too - lots of fructose).  And of course, heavy on daily water intake.\n\nHope that helps.  Best to you.
