I lost 12 pounds in three weeks. All I did was cut fast food out of my diet and hit the gym every other day for two hours straight with an hour doing various cardio exercises. Good luck.

it works, I tried it about 3 years ago. But if you make it, then ONLY with the permission and the control of a doctor. Not everybody is supposed to fast that way and it is NOT made for losing weight. Get a book about it and ask your physician.

Sorry, dude. 100 pounds in 3 months would actually be dangerous to try. One pound is equal to 3500 calories. Essentially, to lose one pound you must expend/burn 3500 more calories than you eat. \n\nEven if you are working out in two-a-day football practices and trying to eat a low calorie meal plan, you may lose 5 pounds a week (which would be a lot to lose). At that pace, three months would mean you could lose 30 to 40 pounds. But remember, that would be two-a-day practices every day, while eating low calorie meals--very tough. You may not even be able to sustain the engergy levels  you need for those kind of workout on that kind of diet.\n\nI'm not trying to discourage you. Just trying to show you reality. If you truly want to get down to 200 lbs, you probably need to lengthen your plan. Two years of steady, consistent workouts on a low-fat, low-calorie diet will probably get  you there.\n\nHere are some keys to truly losing weight. First, workouts have to be at least 60 minutes long. Second, balance your cardio workouts with strength training (though muscle weighs more than fat it also burns more calories all day long every day--add more muscle, burn more calories all the time). Cut out all pop and junk food and sugary cereals for breakfast.\n\nBest of luck.

Whoever says that losing 15 lbs. this quickly is unhealthy is dumb.  You have over a month to lose 15 lbs. that's only a little over 3 lbs. a week that you need to lose.  Cut out as many carbs as you can (and all refined/white sugar) - you will lose weight really quickly this way.  Try to exercise, too (cardio), b/c that'll help good luck!

I've tried all the diets.  They're all extremely hard to follow.  I have never been a person to eat healthy.  The methods I tried and have actually worked are diet pills and exercise.  And it helps to bet someone some money that you will lose the weight.  I know it sounds crazy.  But one year at work I bet three friends forty bucks each that I would lose 20 pounds in one month.  And I did it. I won 120 dollars and lost 20 pounds.  Motivation works.  I also lost 20 pounds from L A Weight Loss.  It's motivating to me because I go in every week and weigh in and I have to lose two pounds a week.  I'm paying a lot of money for it,  so I make sure those two pounds are gone every week.  Quick fixes never work.  So unless you have a major event to attend, you should chose the most effective route. Cut out all junk food and start exercising.  I still eat all the foods I have always ate but I eliminated ALL junk food.  Lowering your carb intake also works.  It's also important to cut down on your sugar intake.  It also help to set a goal date.  Make a commitment to yourself, make a bet to someone, and get going.

Boy there is alot of beliefs out there but no facts. The fact is we need some fats, It wont take a long time to lose weight. Most people have gradually gained there weight for years. You are asking for a easy way to lose weight. I lost 35 pounds in two months and I have tried lots of things. I have stuck to this plan because it is easy. To lose weight I drank two shakes a day and I ate one meal of my choice and I also made sure that to take my vitamines three times a day with my meals. That was to lose the weight. After I lost my weight I drank one shake a day and ate two meals. It is the easies thing out there and it works. It is more convenient then fast food and cheaper. It is defiantly healthier.\n\nYou can find more info at the link below.

If you don't want to work on losing the weight, then what's the point of asking this question? It's up to you to stick to diets, and working out, and not some easy way. If life was like that, then we'd all be in perfect shape. \n\nI lost 12 pounds in three weeks (I think that's a healthy amount to lose...). All I did was cut fast food out of my diet and hit the gym every other day for two hours straight with an hour's worth of cardio (the other hour was for weight training, but if you just want to lose weight, stick with cardio). I still drink coke like water, and I've managed to pull that off. All you have to do is watch what you eat. Instead of McCrap, go eat something a bit more healthier with zero transfat (like a bagel for breakfast or something). You don't have to count calories, or follow food guides, or any thing like that. Just use common sense and eat as much healthy foods as you can.\n\nYour five-pounds a month goal is definitely attainable, and my hat goes off to you for using your brains on that one. And, I'm no nutritionist or anything, 35 pounds by spring break is more than attainable IF you commit to a total lifestyle change. Good luck.

It depends on your age and how over-weight you are.  Someone that weighs 130 lbs. will have a harder time losing 10 lbs. than someone who weighs 180 lbs, even if they eat the same thing and exercise the same.  Ideally you should not lose more than 2 lbs. a week so in 3 1/2 months you "can" lose 28 lbs. But you probably won't.  Just remember... start eating a little less and exercising a little more and the weight will gradually and safely come off. SMALLER helpings means you can still eat the foods you love and STILL lose weight.  30 minutes of walking a day is all you really have to do.

I tried it for a few weeks, but it's not as rapid as they say...and trust me, I've gained alot of weight due to being pregnant, so I really want to lose this extra baby fat lol...I found something that really works, it's called *HOODIA*...loose a pound a day, it's actually what the tribes used to eat when they were hunting in South Africa, it is ALL NATURAL...look it up on yahoo, you lose 1 pound a day :d 30lbs a month, of course when there isn't too much fat to lose it will go down lol

Break down your goals into mini goals so that they seem more managable.  For instance, if you want to lose 30 pounds, break it down into six five pound mini milestones.  When you reach each milestone, give yourself a non-food treat, like a manicure or a new outfit.\n\nMake a plan to lose weight like going for a walk with your kids 5 days a week.  Get support from friends and family.  If you have a workout partner, you'll be less likely to skip your workout "date".\n\nMake a list of reasons that you want to lose weight like having more energy.  When you feel like skipping a workout, go to the list for a good reason not to skip it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's almost impossible to lose 100 lbs. HEALTHILY in three months. Any more than 1 to 2 pounds lost per week is considered unhealthy, and you're more likely to put the weight back on when you stop dieting.\n\nThe best way to lose weight and to keep it off is to eat less and exercise more. You've got the exercising part, though it may be really hard for you to start exercising for 2 hours everyday. (Might I suggest starting with 20 to 30 minutes for the first week and gradually increase your workout times? Trust me, just jumping from 0 hours to 2 hours of exercise will only make you feel burned out.) Your eating plan, however, needs work.\n\nEating just salads for three months will hurt you. Every food is good in moderation. Cutting out certain foods, like good fats (which are in nuts, olive oil, seeds), will not help you lose weight, it'll only compromise your health. Try eating a balanced diet, but eat smaller portions and cut back on junk food. Don't make it forbidden, or you'll only want it even more. (speaking from experience here.) Counting calories will help. For your weight loss goals, you want to keep your caloric intake somewhere around 1,500 to 1,700.\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 and lose 15 pounds over 6 months.\n\nIf you're really serious about losing weight, I would suggest joining Weight Watchers. It's pricey, but well worth it. The program is easy to fit into any lifestyle, and the food, while light, is really, really tasty. Or better yet, talk to your doctor; he or she should know what diet plan is right for you.\n\nI know, at this point, it may seem hopeless and depressing, but if you find a plan and stick to it, the weight WILL come off. Just be patient and keep at it. Good luck!

As with everything, keep it in moderation.  Eat more fruits and vegetables.  Eat lean meats (fish and poultry, lean cuts of beef).  Stay away from fried food, stay away from processed foods, fast food.  \n\nYou have to work at it.  You didn't gain weight over night, so don't expect to lose it overnight either.\n\nIt has taken me almost a year to lost 30 pounds by exercising and changing the way that I eat.  \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.
