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

Don't go on those strictly no eating diets.  And especially always eat three meals a day.  Yes, I said that.  It's healthier to eat three meals a day even if they're small than skipping a meal, like lunch or breakfast.  The reason is is becuase sooner or later, you'll be hungry and then snack on stuff like chips.  If you are hungry, eat fruit or drink milk or even eat yogurt!  Don't drink diet drinks either.  They are worse than the regular sodas.  Just drink water, some juice and some tea.  Just don't hurt yourself on dieting the wrong way.  Just cut down calories, excersize more and get plenty of sleep.  I hope you lose as much you want, just do it safely.  You'll bloom into a more beautiful you!

I suggest you to avoid fatty foods and lessen carbohydrates.  Eat fruits, vegetables and drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday.  You should stop smoking since it doesn't only make your body weak but rather, your stomach and body store in lots of fats making your metabolism slow.  Quit smoking and do exercise everyday.  Going to army in a few months from now...  know the requirements, especially on weight.  Since you are 6'2'' tall, your normal weight should be 90 kilos.  If you are really desperate, then try the 3 day diet below which (they say) guarantees you to lose 3-10 pounds each session.  It is one of the natural way to lose weight aside from regualr exercise.  But before that, consult a doctor since I've heard some that is not fat that is losing but rather water in your body... while other people, it is only the shorter and faster wieght to lose weight.  This requires strict and discipline to yourself and food intake.  Follow the procedures given and no substituton of food, adding salt or pepper is fine but none other than that.  No snacking too!  \n\nThis is what they called the fad diet.\n\n3 Day Diet Plan is used for 3 days at a time. This diet normally used by doctors and military. These diet uses all natural products, no pills or nasty shaky. If you follow the diet correctly you can lose up to 10 lbs. in 3 days and 40 pounds in a month. The 3 day diet focuses on mixing certain types of foods that create a reaction in your digestive system. The chemicals are supposed to boost your metabolism and help you burn fat at a higher rate than usual. After 3 days of dieting, resume eating normally for three to four days, do not overeat. You can start your 3 day diet back anytime if you like.\n\nIt is a calorie diet, your weight will be reduced fast as long as you eat the same amount of calories in any type of food. if you feel bored with the food, do replace them with the food with the same calorie value anytime you like. This is to ensure that 3 Days Diet will forever be interesting to us. \n\nThe Diet does not provide medical information and if you are at any medical risk in undertaking a diet such as this, please check with your doctor before undertaking it.\n\nInstructions:\nDrink 4 glasses of water or diet soda per day. For additional flavoring you can add herbs, soy sauce, lemon, salt and pepper, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and ketchup to your foods. \n \n\n3 Day Diet Menu Plan\nFirst Day of "3 Day Diet"\n \nBreakfast\n\nBlack coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water\n1 banana\n1 slice toast with 1 Tbsp.

cut back your total calories, dont eat any carbs after 5pm, except veggies, and do 3-4 cardio (walk, jog, or run) sessions a week.  the distance or amount of time per session will vary to your objective.

good for you for not wanting to change what you eat - you're already on the right track: exercise!\n\nI recommend some all-body exercises: swimming and jump-rope.\n\nHowever I also recommend measuring your waistline or similar if you are trying to "loose weight" because you are most likely shedding fat but putting on muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you are probably getting slimmer without loosing actual weight, which is perfectly normal and healthy.

It's best to aim for 1 - 2 pounds of weight loss per week.  So in 16 weeks, 30 pounds is possible, but it is aggressive.  You'll need a weekly calorie deficit of 7000 calories to lose 2 pounds per week, which is 1000 calories daily.  To do that, you could eat about 500 less calories and burn 500 calories by exercising.\n\nFor specific suggestions about what to eat and what kind of exercise to do, I recommend the Spark People website http://www.sparkpeople.com  It's  free website--you just need to sign up.  They have meal plan suggestions and exercise suggestions.\n\nOh, and best wishes on the wedding!

Of course the three major solutions to this are improving your diet, exercising, and getting enough relaxation.\n\nAs for dieting, I don't know of too many foods that can harm you, however, there are plenty that can be in excess and plenty that can prove useful. Your first goal should be to eat a bit more, but in smaller portions. 5 to 7 small meals or large snacks keep your metabolism up. So does drinking two thirds of your body weight (pounds) in water (as fluid ounces, not pounds). To avoid over eating, drink at least 16 oz water, maybe even 32 as soon as you are done eating (8 oz will do when thinner). Avoid eating too much candy, it's worse than fatty junk food. Low carb and no fat is not such a good idea. They are both needed, you just have to experiment and learn how much is needed.\n\nAs for exercising, do enough but not too much. Girls (I'm assuming?) should do more reps with lighter wieghts, focusing on endurance rather than strength (tone vs. size). Cardio vascular exercise is also good. You can do anything from 40 min at your target heart rate 3 times per week or even just 20 min, but for 6 days. \n\nMost importantly, stop stressing yourself out and just relax. Ever notice how alot of thin people are really lazy (I lose weight every time I stop exercising, and I'm done growing). YOu have to slow down before completely stopping when done exercising. Do plenty of stretching before and after, as well as relaxing when finished. You want at least seven hours of sleep, but any more than nine and you may be a bit sluggish. Meditation?\n\nJust doing a few of these will show results. Stick to it, and don't let it stress you out. Once you're settled in with the program, your metabolism will be at a healthy rate and your hormones will rush through you at just the right amount (read about cortisol, insulin, testosterone, estrogen, and the thyroid gland).

well, of course, everybody is going to tell you:\n\nCarefully watch the foods you eat over this period you want to get slim quick (of course you should watch what you eat anyways because if you try some crash diet thing or short term diet, you will gain it all back and MORE when you are done).  EAT SLOWLY.  You will eat less and be just as full.\nAlso, eat smaller meals throughout the day rather than one or two BIG meals.\n\nCalories burned has to be more than Calories taken in.\n\nWater, water, water.  Pound it.\n\nExercise.  Swimming is generally considered one of the best overall exercises you can do for your body.  NO impact, total body workout.  Upper body, lower body, and abs.  Also, if you are looking at certain body parts, work those more.  Pick up a few fitness magazines at the store.  They always have good ideas and workout plans.\n\nMake your entire day your workout.  When you're walking somewhere, walk briskly.\n\nAnd FORGET those get fit quick schemes.  That 24 hour hollywood diet (laxative), slimfast shakes, "eat this powerbar instead of a whole meal" plans.  All you'll end up doing is eating the shake or bar, still feel hungry, and eat anyways, making you GAIN weight.\n\nAnd unless you are morbidly obese, don't do that stupid no-carb thing.  Its retarded, people are idiots.  If you eat no carbs, that means less energy.  Eventually, your body will compensate by lowering your metabolism to burn less energy at any given time.  Then when you eventually get tired of that fad (which you would), you'll gain a TON of weight becuase your metabolism dropped so much.\n\nAlthough, it IS a good short term weight loss technique.  However, you are NOT supposed to stay on it for more than a week (two weeks TOP).  Anything after that and you are actually damaging your body.  Remember the guy who invented the Atkins diet.  Died of heart disease i think it was.

pray, but if u work at it hard you might see some results, i would have to disagree with the last girl about the vegitables cause u want to gain muscles in your abs, so id say go on a straight chicken breast diet, no salt, no sugar, for the 3 weeks, just water and chicken, maybe a protien shake every now and then as a meal replacement, and do alot of sit ups, maybe get a medicine ball and have someone toss it to you while you are doing your sit ups, or get some weight plates and put them on your chest while your doing sit ups lol, that just my thoughts

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nDon'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.

A couple of common questions here amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?"  These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.\n\nDon'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 will make you feel awful. \n\nThere is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. \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.

The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.\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

The 3 most important things to do when dieting is: \n1. Drink 64+ ounces of water a day.\n2. Moderate exercise\n3. Eat small meals frequently.\n\nWhen you don't eat regular meals your body feels that you are starving it so any calories that you do eat the body stores it as fat.  By eating small meals frequently your body uses the calories as energy and it will speed up your metabolism.\n\nYou should exercise at least 3-4 days a week.  The best exercise is either swimming or walking at a brisk pace.  When walking you should keep at a brisk pace, challenging enough but not so fast that you're out of breath.  If you use a treadmill increase the incline every 3 minutes. \n\nYou should get into the habit of sipping on water all day.  This flushes the toxins out of the body and it promotes healthy skin and weight loss.\n\nAnother important thing is not to diet 7 days a week.  By constantly denying yourself what you want to eat you'll get frustrated and bored with the diet.  I suggest that you watch what you eat 6 days a week and treat or reward yourself 1 day a week, within moderation of course.\n\nGood Luck!!! :)

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.

To start, the rule of thumb is burning more calories than your consuming.  Replace high fat/calorie meals with vegetables and/or fruits.  For example, when you make a sandwich, use fat free mayo, low fat cheese, and a healthier brand of meat.  Snacks, use fresh vegetables or fruits.  Stay away from the additivies like dressing, mayo, anything that usually makes the meal so much better.  Be careful how you cook, breading and frying are the worst.  Trying broiling or grilling.  In your vegetable intake, you want to stick with fresh or frozen over canned because of the sodium and preservatives.  As far as a workout, walking/running is the best workout that you can do all the time.  Swimming is a great fat burner but if your like me, you can't swim everyday.  Make breakfast or lunch your biggest meal.  Dinner should be light, due to the fact that you will probably be going to bed shortly after.  However, you don't want to starve yourself, that screws your matbolism all up.  Everytime you eat a meal, your basically jump starting your metabolism.  Its actually a lot healther to eat 5 really small meals throughout the day than 3 big meals.  You really want to start working out, running, walking, sit ups, push ups, etc.  These are the basics that are really easy to do.  Biggest thing, cut back on sweets, cola's, and your dressings/sauces.  Just don't try to loose weight really fast...it will only hurt you in the long run.  You can do, it's not an overnight process, the temptaions are tough.  Eating out, watching a movie, being bored.  Good Luck ;)
