Exersise lots, but don't over do it..just moving(doesn't need to be strenuous) burns calories. To loose weight you must burn more calories than you take in.

My tips for loosing weight

Don't sit down at your pc or watch tv for more than 30 mins without getting up for 10-15 and moving about. just walk around...do some jumping jacks, stretch.

Drink 5-10 8 ounce glasses of ICE water. The hitch there is the ice, in an 8 ounce glass of ICE WATER your body must burn 17.5 calories to warm the water to your body tempature. Try to drink Ice water in place of other drinks or luke warm water.


Lots of water
Stretch in the morning and evening before you go to bed
Get 60 minutes of exersise(doesn't need to be strenuious) each day


Do NOT eat these foods or drinks
Try to stay as far away from bread as possible..a little is okay
Energy drinks
Drinks with sugar in them
Regular soda
sweets(ice cream,candy,cake,)


A portion of food is the size of YOUR fist. make a fist and mesure that amount of the food your eating. Thats a good portion size for you.

Don't eat after 7 pm( If you have to try not to make it alot)

And most of all just have fun. Whenever your moving. no matter how small or short you are burning calories :D






Don't eat after 7 pm

Eat HIGH CARB foods

Yup most people lsoe 3lbs the first week of dieting and 2lbs a week from there on :)




Drink STRICTLY WATER


Free foods:
Black coffe
Lettuce
Salad
celery



200-300 cals for breakfast
60 cal snack
300-400 cals for lunch
60 cal snack
400-500 cals for dinner


Loads of water, I mean a lot!!! and spike it with some citrus fruit as this has an enzyme in it
that quite literrally eats fat!

Answer 8

2 of these a day http://www.baskinrobbins.com/Nutrition/p…

Answer 9

Healthy rate is around 2 lbs per week while loosing. You can loose a bit more or less, but do not expect loosing ALL the weight fast. You got around 12 weeks or so? So i would not expect loosing more than 20 or so pounds.
Do not make unrealistic goals for yourself, and remember, that it is easier to keep healthy weight than to become thin once you loosen up.
Best way to loose weight is eating healtily and smaller amounts. Eat meals 4-5 times a day. Also, go for long walks/jogging or swimming (30 mins+) at least 4-5 times per week.
Good luck.

Answer 10

Well you have to eat atleast 3 times a day so your food can digest more and the fat burning system will work. But you cant only eat 3 times a day you have to combined the right types of food. and exersicing an help to. if you really are dedicatted and really wanna loose weight then you have to atleast exercise 100 miniutes a day and with-in a couple of weeks you should start seeing results

Answer 11

FIRST OFF MUSCLE DOES NOT WEIGHT MORE THAN FAT, A POUND IS A POUND. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE A POUND OF MUSCLE THAN A POUND OF FAT. THINK OF IT LIKE THIS, A POUND OF FEATHERS WILL TAKE OF TONS OF ROOM AND SPACE, A POUND OF ROCKS WILL TAKE UP VERY LITTLE ROOM AND VERY LITTLE SPACE. THINK OF MUSCLE LIKE THE ROCK, AND FAT ARE THE FEATHERS. HMMM THAT SEEMS EASY.

ok lets be practical if you starve yourself and work out then your body will begin to tell itself I AM STARVING. instead of releasing the fat, it will hold onto it! You are more likely to have better results with healthier eating and working out! There is a plan I found online, it is called the 3 day diet. I am about to start it because it seems practical. At least it is not drinking coffee and taking laxatives or something crazy of the sort. Before i post the diet and website for ya here are some thing that I have been told will boost the metabolism.
Drink Green Tea (I am currently taking Green Tea Pills)
When you workout mix it up day to day, don't do the same routine over and over.
ok heres the diet plan

Followers of the 3 Day Diet are promised up to a 10 pound weight loss in three days, although realistically, most of that weight is likely due to fluid loss and not the more desirable fat loss. To achieve the proposed loss, exercise is not mentioned in the plan.

What You Can Eat
The 3 Day Diet is a very specific food plan that must be followed precisely. Portions must be eaten exactly as specified and dieters are warned not to overeat -- otherwise the promised 10 pound weight loss may not be achieved. Likewise, dieters should not under-eat, even if they are not hungry. The detailed plan does not mention or recommend any exercise.

The 3 Day Diet meal plan:

Day 1

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1/2 grapefruit or juice

1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Lunch

1/2 cup tuna

1 piece toast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

Dinner

3 ounces any lean meat or chicken

1 cup green beans

1 cup carrots

1 apple

1 cup regular vanilla ice cream

Day 2

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1 egg

1/2 banana

1 piece toast

Lunch

1 cup cottage cheese or tuna

8 regular saltine crackers

Dinner

2 beef franks

1 cup broccoli or cabbage

1/2 cup carrots

1/2 banana

1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

Day 3

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

5 regular saltine crackers

1 ounce cheddar cheese

1 apple

Lunch

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1 boiled egg

1 piece toast

Dinner

1 cup tuna

1 cup carrots

1 cup cauliflower

1 cup melon

1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 4 cups of water or noncaloric drinks daily.

How It Works
By some unspecified magical force, the combination of the suggested foods included in this plan is supposed to create a unique metabolic reaction and boost fat burning.

Without an author or book, there is no documentation or explanation of how the 3 Day Diet food combinations burn fat, increase energy, cleanse the body, or lower cholesterol.

As the name suggests, the 3 Day Diet lasts only three days, though it's said that it can be repeated indefinitely, as long as you alternate with 4-5 days of undefined "normal eating." The purpose of returning to your usual eating style is to keep your metabolism from slowing, reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode.

Answer 12

Funny question. Seriously starving is your best bet. If you eat, eat early in the day. If you get cravings while at home you can go to sleep. It always helps not to have food in the fridge. I lost 10lbs in one week combined with lots of sex thanks to that. (No I'm not anorexic or have eating disorder) I weigh 120 and I'm happy..Plus you don't put up the weight as quickly as you would with diets.
