I know that the majority of weight-loss involves diet, but as far as the gym… what’s the best way to shed the pounds?
I’ve heard everything from 100% cardio to 100% core.
Cardio in the morning, empty stomach. If you can, go for a cup of coffee, black.
If you prefer doing weights, you can do your regular weight training regimen, and do 15 minutes of the cardio.
I have to loose 15 pounds fast and I know the correct way. Diet and exercise , but there has to be a quick way. I am not worried about the healthy way right now. I need a quick fix to my problem. I have plans in one month and I have to drop 15 pounds
Drop your caloric intake to 1,000 calories a day – double your usual workout – don’t eat any sweets or sugars – eat tons of fruits and vegetables (look up "negative calorie" foods) – and don’t eat out.
That should work but you might not have much energy unless you take some supplements.
And don’t forget your VITAMINS!!
I have been exercising 4 times a week at a place that is similar to curves called Butterfly Life. I feel great from exercising, but I am not losing any weight. I know muscle weighs more than fat, but I really need to start eating healthier. There are some quick weight loss places around here, but I really don’t have the extra money get into it. I had a baby June 1st, am 5′9" and weigh 240. I’m trying to lose about 60 pounds. Does anyone have any good diet plans or helpful hints?

They’re both harmful.
Why is self injuring considered more unacceptable then using extreme methods to lose weight?
It is because society is overtly accepting of the end result of that extremely dangerous weight loss; in other words, it is seen as marginally beneficially, in a superficial way. Self injury doesn’t have an outward effect other than signaling that there is a problem within oneself, but excessive use of weight loss products, such a diuretics, is merely a social taboo that people look past, mainly due to their own inner insecurities.
It doesn’t really make all too much sense, and that’s the problem, challenging societies values is a very illogical thing.
I want to lose weight without losing certain aspects of my body, such as my breasts and behind. I just want to lose the stubborn belly fat. I regularly exercise and eat right. Which diet supplements would fulfill this?
oh, and I don’t want to lose mass amounts of weight. I’m only looking to lose 10 pounds. I know if you lose like, 25+ then your breasts would shrink. I’m wondering about smaller-scale weight loss
You can’t control where you lose the weight, naturally women and will lose weight from the breast no matter what same with their butt bc thats where most of their fat is at. Also diet supplements dont work you need to just work out hard and eat right. Burn more than you eat
I am looking to lose weight. I have been working out as well as changing habits. I want something to help me a little more. Are there any weight supplements that actually help? I am 245 and 5′ 8" and i am looking to go down to 200 or even 190.
Also, if you have any dieting tips, please free to share!
Protein…
Most supplements come from two basic standpoints: they either speed up your metabolism (which coffee does just as well) or they are diuretics (which softens the stool, and make you poo more… which means less time to absorb calories and nutrients from food – you could buy exlax and it would do the same thing).
I have used and enjoy a high protein and low carb and low fat diet. I still get to eat the meats that I enjoy (most of them are very lean meats). Carbs are something that humans only relatively recently added to our diets, and now Americans tend to overdose on them.
Eating a high protein diet will provide you with energy, and the basic building blocks with which to continue building muscle in the gym… however, you will lose weight because it takes work for you body to convert protein into an energy source.
I eat six times a day (about every 2 hours). I learned this from an Olympic coach I worked with at Penn State. Those are not full meals mind you, but about fist size servings of protein and fruits and veggies – enough to provide a continual source of protein and energy (so you don’t experience the doldrums that low blood sugar causes that is another factor in overeating).
I would highly recommend you speak to someone unbiased and knowledgeable before you consider buying any OTC supplements.
Hey i plan on losing weight, which is not the problem for me. I just read that it’s healthy to lose only up to 1kg per week! That seems very slow as i want to lose about 15kg, and don’t really want to wait so long. So what is too rapid that it causes problems? If i go 2kg per week, is it ok? What problems could i get at 2kg/week?
me also.i was 83kg six weeks ago until i go to the gym and go six days per week until now.now in six weeks,i lost 6 kg and nearly 13pounds.i burned around 13000 calories in total to date.i did track my effort and found out i have to lose around 3700calories for 1kg and 1800calories for 0.5kg.i did diet by cutting down rice intake which i did not eat rice anymore yet still consume mee in the morning.i eat cereal bread,biscuit and oat cereal,and still eat vegetable and little meat.
yes…its best to lose 1kg per week.maximum u should burn 3700 calories…
its not that easy to burn them as u think and reduce so fast.i try to burn 5400 calories per week,it means 900calories per day.it is a lot for a day..
imagine u did it everyday and last for a month,its actually very tiring…
i dont know what would be the problem..but is diificult to achieve that number…
ibelieve u have not start exercise to lose weight,that is why u dont know the pain and rules..
believe it takes few months
i was just wondering if anybody knows of good weight loss tips to lose about 20lbs or so. ive just recently heard that eating eggs for breakfast will help, is there any other ones like this?
Eat regularly
Most dieters think that by skipping meals they are going to lose weight quickly. NO! It doesn’t work like that. If you skip meals then your body starts to think there’s a famine coming, which means your body piles on the fat to survive the famine. Eat regular meals.
Don’t Deny Yourself
Many dieters will deny themselves anything naughty such as chocolate, cakes and so on. Trouble is, when you deny yourself something, you want it more. So instead CHOOSE not to have it, because then you are in control. Occasionally, you may choose to have it, which is great too.
Drink, drink, drink
And no, I don’t mean alcohol. I mean yummy, delicious water. Drink plenty of it as it will flush toxins from your system and help keep you healthy. The experts recommend that you should drink at least 2 liters (just over 4 pints) of water every single day. Avoid caffeinated drinks and fizzy soda’s as these don’t help quench your thirst or remove the toxins from your system.

Diet Plans for 14-Year-Old Girls
Planning a diet for a teen girl can be tricky. Many teen girls suffer from bad self esteem or a skewed body image, and may resort to crash diets that they don’t need to be healthy. Instead of suggesting a diet, suggest a healthy diet plan, where she can learn to eat properly, along with exercise to create a healthier self image. As long as your teen has a healthy body mass index, or BMI, then she does not need a diet to lose weight. A diet plan that can maintain her health is all that she needs.
Planning a Diet
1. When your 14-year-old girl indicates that she wants to eat healthier, or you’ve noticed her body changing, it’s important to calculate her BMI to see where she falls. Unlike adult BMI, a teen’s BMI is calculated and then compared to other teens to give a percentile that she is in for her weight and height, much like you’d receive at the doctor’s office. The BMI can give you a clue as to whether she simply needs a diet plan to eat more healthy, or if she’ll need a diet plan for weight loss. With a healthy BMI, your 14-year-old girl will enjoy better quality of life.
Regular Meals and Snacks
2. One of the most important things to incorporate into a 14-year-old girl’s diet plan is regular meals and snacks throughout the day. Teenagers are especially susceptible to skipping meals like breakfast and lunch: the first because she’s running late, and the second due to pressure from peers to eat as little as possible. However, skipping meals sends your 14-year-old’s body into starvation mode, telling it to store up fat for the next skipped meal. Eating regular meals actually causes a teen’s metabolism to run faster, burning more calories in preparation for the next snack. Talk to her about the importance of regular eating, both for maintaining energy, concentration and focus through the day, and as an important tool for weight loss.
Better Meals and Snacks
3. Too often teen girls eat meals and snacks that are less than ideal. While you want her to eat regularly, you also want her to eat quality food that will help her on her quest for a healthier diet. Make it easy for her by supporting her diet. Send her to school with a variety of healthy snacks like nuts, vegetables and crackers to snack on between school periods, and opt for a homemade lunch over cafeteria fare, which can be greasy and unhealthy. Talk to her about staying full with the right foods, those that are high in nutrients, but still low in fat and calories. Armed with the right information, your 14-year-old girl can follow a diet plan to keep her healthy, and gain eating tools to help her for the rest of her life.
