Unless your physician has given you specific instructions otherwise, don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it would make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

I'd go for 10 lbs, if its to lose the week before you can always gain some back.  gaining it back is the easy part.

Running is far more efficient. 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

Eat several (4-6) small meals a day...your body will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.\n(eat about every 2 hours)\nThe first 8-10 pounds you shed is water.\nMeal suggestions:\n1st: piece of fruit\n2nd: string cheese, summer sausage, cottage cheese/yogurt\n3rd: bowl of cereal\n4th: soup/sandwich\n5th: a good dinner-meat, potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy\n6th: salad/raw veggies\nDrink plenty of water \nDrink milk or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)\nStay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods.\nDo simple exercise like walking/hiking...swimming and biking are low impact, playing baseball, basketball, volleyball will tone your body and you'll have fun doing it.

there is no easy way...unfortunately. If there was everyone would have a nice stomach.   You have to diet and exercise. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, diet at first will work great. for the last 10 pounds you have to lose, exercise is critical, as your stomach will stay flabby no matter how much weight you lose if you don't add exercise.

diet and exercise.  It won't be quick but it will work.  Fast weight loss ruins your metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight.  If you lose it too fast it will likely be gained right back also.  Good luck.

A great way to lose weight is to go on a protien diet, and eat less porportions. Eat meat, cheese, eggs...that kind of stuff. And when you can try to go for a walk or jog. And also try sit ups. but first just try the protien diet. There is another diet as well its kind of weird but it makes you lose 10 pounds in 1 week (supposedly) i havent tried it but i guess it works. You eat cabbage soup. You can eat as much of it as you want and every now and then throw in a banana or a baked potato i bet it might work. Just what ever you do dont starve your self or anything like that taht can cause further problems well i hope i was help! GOOD LUCK!

im not sure how "quickly" you mean. but if you are a male, eating about 1750 calories each day and adding exercise is a great way to lose lbs.\n\nfor breakfast eat things like eggs with yogurt and fruit or oatmeal, lunch can be a tuna sandwhich or ham and cheese on wheat bread..or a salad with chicke on top... dinner can be steak chicken or fish with a couple of veggies and a potato..and snacks can be nuts, energy bars, fruit, beef jerky, etc.\n\nIf you dont exercise at all...begin with 45 minutes of light cardio like walking or biking.  then bump it up to jogging and walking. \n\nmost people can easily lose 2 lbs a week on a normal diet but i have seen people lose 5 a week on this type of diet.  The most important parts are eating HEALTHY food (you can have as much fruit and veggies as you can eat!) and trying to exercise atleast 4 days a week.\n\ngoodluck!

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.

I just lost 10 pounds in about 3 months.  I changed my diet some, but mostly I started walking 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week.  It made a huge difference.   Drink lots of water too!

You can lose up to 10 inches and 10 lbs in 10 workouts if you are very strict with your diet. I'm actually selling the instructions for it on ebay if you are interested.  I listed the link for the auction in Know Your Souce.

You are on the right track. You won't lose weight overnight, if you lose a pound a week you are doing great. \n\nI used to be a model/actress as a teenager, I still worry about my weight levels. \n\nWhenver you lose weight quickly, let me give you an example: Putting on your heaviest sweat suit and running 5miles, while drinking water. You lose 10lbs instantly. Those 10lbs however are water-weight. Which is not good to lose that quickly, because you risk dehydration. \nAlso, you tend to gain 20lbs back just as fast. \n\n9 out of 10 over the counter diet supplements don't work. I have tried them first hand. This includes the Hollywood Juice.\n\n\nKeep up with a healthly balanced diet complete with meals that inlcude something from the 5 basic food groups. When you want Ice-Cream eat frozen yogurt or enjoy some home-made desserts. If you love Oatmeal, make some oatmeal rasin nut cookies, cut the sugar from the recipe in half and use brown sugar. These cookies are so healthly you can plastic wrap them indivisually on like a Sunday and eat on them all week for Breakfast. They are packed full of nutrients and they are cheaper than Store bought health bars. \n\nIf you want more adive feel free to e-mail me at: Diamondheart16@yahoo.com I am 22yrs old. Female living in Honolulu, HI!

The fastest way to lose weight is diet and exercise. Plenty of exercise is fast. You need to go to the library and check out some books on nutrition. You don't want to do a harsh diet and hurt your body from nutrients and vitamins. Bake all your meat, nothing fried, green vegetables and plenty of water. Good 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.
