The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.

You can lose over a hundred pounds that way.

cut off a limb
Fasting under the care of a doctor or naturopath! Colon cleanse!
Eating only peanut butter for a week!
run run run. and diet. but eat a lot of small meals a day and not just completely stop or anything.
Eat Healthy and Exercise
Just watch what you eat and lots of exercise…Also try and limit your calories…when you exercise do cardiovascular activities that will help you lose weight by burning calories fast
Your goal is reallistic and you could do it with a simple diet.
You should get on a healthy diet and start going to the gym.
good luck!
Honey you need to cut down on all junk foods,replace them with fruit watch your carbs and drink plenty of water and walk everyday .
Get a leg amputation…. Two leg amputation is way better. Or make frequent trips to the John…..
Try a low carb plan, or simply cut sugar and flour out of your diet.
I’ll give you one, Eat tuna and crackers every day, the protein in it will get rid off the fat, also, at 12 eat a small bowl of carrots or any other fruit, I say carrots because they help ya have a healthy looking skin color, and drink lots of water no soft drinks, whenever you’re tempted to eat something u know u aint supposed to just get on the phone or draw, distract yourself! try to lift weights so your skin can stretch!
The diet that shrinks your stomache. It is kinda unhealthy though. Moring eat one egg, lunch eat wheat bread slice with organic peanut butter, then dinner 3 oz of chicken or salmon & 1/2 a cup of vanilla ice cream.
You can only drink water, and you cannot snack on anyhting in between those meals. Do it for 3 days and your stomache will shrink. My friend did it before a pagent, worked for her. So it works right before you have some big event. But after a while once you start eating a lot again you gain it back.
well you can stop eating pastas and high fat and sugar bread. stick to whole grain and eat a healthy diet. exercise in the morning and in the afternoon. go for a walk or play some basketball in the park. Try to avoid the couch or tv.
ps. the slower and calmly you eat the less of chance you gaining.
take small bites and eat small porshons.
Check this out. I’m a wrestler in high school. We have incredibly hard practices in a tiny room that gets very hot. The most weight I ever lost during 1 2-hour practice was 7 pounds. Sweet huh. Of course I left out the part that 5.5 lbs was water weight that I gained back after drinking liquid. Sigh………..
The best way for me is to eat only fruits, vegetables, chicken and fish. Nothing fried. You must also drink milk – 2% or skim – 2 glasses per day. Plus drink a lot of water. I walk every day at least 3 miles. Not at a real fast pace but like I want to get it over with, which I do. This way is easy and fast. I dropped 15 pounds in two weeks and never felt hungry.
Never overdo eating and exercise. Eat a well balanced diet and exercise at least 30 minutes, 3 days of a week. I lost weight quickly by eating less and most importantly, stay away from junkfood! When you crave sugar, eat fresh fruit (grapes, apples, oranges…). Best of Luck!!!
:):)
eat only fruits in a week and you will lose weight faster. exercise and plenty of water. email me after you get the result. good for the gold!
I know exaclty how you feel.I’m 5′3" and 167 lbs. The only thing that worked for me, my doctors told me it was the most dangerous thing I had done, was a tuna diet. It consisted of a lot of water, nothing else to drink but water. 1 can of Tuna (in water), 1 tbsp of Mayo, 1/8 tsp of salt & pepper, a bowl of lettuce, and 5 saltine crackers, twice a day for 3 weeks. Before I started this, being very active, biking, hiking, and swimming, I weighed 209. After 3 weeks, I was fit, happy, healthy, and only weighed 120. My docs said it was dangerous because I am female, and tuna is almost pure protein. A high protein diet did it, but it could cause other risks, even though I came out very healthy, but it is up to you.
That sounds like a healthy target, but no fast way. To lose around a stone (14 lbs), I’d give it at least two months because a weight loss of one to two pounds a week is a good, steady healthy weight loss which, most importantly, will stay off. Eg when you have your weak moments or have to go out for meals etc it won’t affect the loss as much. Of course, exercise will have to have some place in your schedule, say 2 to 3 times a week, and you could start with walking if you’re not used to exercise or go to your local gym and they will devise you a plan. Or gather some friends together and go play football in the park or badminton/tennis/swimming etc. You don’t say when you want to lose the weight by but this is the best, long-term way which will keep the weight off. Good luck.
120 lbs would be great for your height, however the trick to loosing those lbs. is eating nothing but the green stuff, nothing else, any thing green is great , no meats, no potatoes, if your serious?? no more than 4- 8 lbs a month is ok , any more, stop the green diet!!! try it…
whats up with those first stupidly crazy answers?
anyway just watch your fat and carbohydrate intake, in one sitting you should not eat more than 45g of carbohydrates. Also watch how much sugar you eat, even certain fruits are high in sugar like bananas and mangos, pineapples. When you eat meat only have 2oz of it. you can get a little scale at a restaurant supply store. Also get at least 30 min. of exercise in 3 days a week. This isn’t a super fast way to loose weight, loosing weight too fast isn’t healthy anyway. But by changing your diet this way is much more healthy and will keep the weight off in the long run.
STACK is simply the best weight-loss system available today – period! You’ll lose about a pound a day – GUARANTEED!
This worked for me. I was so impressed I became a distributor.
I’ve lost 8 lbs and I’ve only been taking it a month.
The girl who told me about it lost 24 in two months. It varies from person to person. i haven’t exercised or changed my eating.
30 day 100% money back guaranty!

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY’s Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don’t get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don’t get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying. Loose as much as you want to !
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !
P.S
Take care
Regular active exercise is advised with all weight loosing medicines and remedies
Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 10.5 pounds and 17 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing toxins from your body. You get toxins from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The toxins get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the toxins. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!
