Losing weight is not a hard thing if you follow some basic principles. I am not saying that it is easy, but rather if you are disciplined and follow some common sense advice, you should be able to lose many pounds in a matter of weeks. Warning: don’t lose weight too fast. This is not good at all health wise. I believe the max safe is about 5 to 8 pounds per month (about 2 pounds per week)
The golden principles are : Diet and Exercise
First, you need to lower the calorie intake at the same time that you burn calories. There are many effective diets out there, just pick the one that you think is the healthiest and easier for you to stick to. Smaller portions and more fruits and vegetables are always a good idea. Also, make sure you are not just doing a diet per say, but rather a lifestyle change. Start eating healthy, and try to stick to it from now on.
Second, start burning more calories by doing cardio exercises. You should at least do cardio exercises 3 times a week a minimum of 20 to 30 minute. If you want to loose weight faster, exercise 5 times a week for about 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure you are capable of exercising, if in doubt, see your doctor. You really don’t want to do more harm than good.
Get yourself a decent training machine. I chose the Schwinn 438 Elliptical Trainer
Also, make sure you add weights to your work out regimen. The beauty of the weights is that it will transform the fat into muscle rapidly. So you might not loose weight per say, but you might loose some inches from your waist line. If you don’t own weights, you can start doing push ups, make sure you start small and try to do some more every week. It is a very rewarding exercise, even thought it is hard in the beginning.
Note: In the beginning you will drop weight fast, probably because you are burning excess water, fat in your body (legs, arms, etc) and not in your abdomen (the hardest to loose) In order to keep up with the weight lost, you probably should start increasing the intensity of your workouts and also try new things (new workout routines) and don’t hesitate to mix things up (try not to get bored by always doing the same thing)
Good Luck!
thank you for giving this information i have loose my 3 pound weight in 20 days this is very nice information.
In fact, if you want to lose pounds really fast, you should pretty much avoid all processed foods for the time being, including breads, cereals, pastas, packaged snack foods, baked goods, etc. Regarding how to lose pounds, dinner could include a fresh garden salad, grilled chicken, and green vegetables. By switching from an unhealthy to healthy and lower calorie dinner, weight will begin to come off. When it comes to the best way to lose pounds, an individual needs to go backwards in time.

Janessa- your diet plan is awful and the second you stop what you are doing, you will gain back ALL the weight. A person needs food to live and by not eating anything all day until 7 you are killing your metabolism. The weight you have lost is water and muscle, NOT FAT. That is why when you stop this diet, you will gain it all back because muscle is what sheds pounds, not fat. You should be eating at least 4 small meals a day, high in protein and fiber, and doing cardio exercises 45 minutes to an hour 5 days a week. That is how to lose weight in a healthy manner.
