I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good exercises or foods which help you lose weight quickly, such as speeding up your metabolism?? Any advice would be great!!

i want to loss let me know

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose weight within a reasonable time frame you have set for yourself. This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.

1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food and fast food. Concentrate on fruits, vegetables, lean meat and fish, whole grains, and low fat dariy products. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.

2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.

3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.

4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.

5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.

6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.

7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.

I hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

okay so i have bout 10-15 pounds to lose. so if i eliminate sweets,excerise daily, get plenty of water and sleep, and down size my portions of food and eat healthy…will it help me lose weight??? how long would it take?

All of those will definetly help you lose weight. And the time that it takes you really depends on your body type. My advice would be to stick with all the exercising, eating right, etc. because it will help you live a happier life and you'll stay slender. Depending on the intensity of everything I would say about 2-4 weeks.

What are the best foods to eat while trying to loss weight. I think part of the reason why i gained so much weight so fast so one because of stress and two because of depression. I have gained 35lbs in just 6 months. I just moved way from all my family and friends to a place that I only knew one person. I moved from Florida were I grew up to Texas where I know just very few people now. When I lived in Florida I had the best beach body and now I don’t even want to look at my swim suits. If so one could please help me by telling me what to do to lose this weight as fast as possible and keep it off that would be great. Please no smart comments like just stop eating and get off my fat butt. I want to know the correct way to lose it all. Thanks soo much.

Three steps that have really helped me are dieting, exercising, and the correct weight loss supplement for losing weight. Focus on those three things and you will lose weight considerably. I exercise 30 mins a day along with taking Proactol, a natural weight loss supplement that I saved money on at theweightlossplace.com

Good luck and stay focused = )

Are you finding it virtually impossible sticking to your target weight? Are you clinically obese and confused about how to lose the weight? The path to success is likely in looking into how to build a positive outlook to losing then managing your weight.

The first step in having a positive approach to managing and losing weight is set your goals and be serious about achieving them. Then, when you truly focused on attaining your weight loss objectives, it is important to be committed to your goal. Being able to lose weight and keep it off long term is a long term commitment and not easy for most people. Unfortunately lots of people cave in before losing the weight they wanted to. Some people achieve the goal by using unhealthy diets, or fad diet pills, or quick weight loss diets plans and then discover that once they stop they gain it all back again and usually add more weight besides. Losing weight and then managing it long term is a process that will work much better when it is viewed with a positive attitude.

A quick note while I remember, one of the easy ways to lose weight (or get you off to a healthy start) involves some simple green tea weight loss tips. It seems green tea is a great way to get your weight loss program started, and give your health a much needed boost in the process.

The real secrets to successful weight loss is understanding how your body works, learning from your mistakes, and constructive support as you are going to be changing the way you do things that will support you in creating your new healthy eating habits and lifestyle which will ultimately result in you achieving your weight loss goals. Owing to the fact that learning how to lose weight is down to healthy eating habits, and quite likely you will struggle and have set backs along the way, your outlook and attitude will determine your ability to overcome them, and the speed at which you pick up the program again.

Focusing on your goals means you’ll naturally be more consistent, and much better results with regards to achieving the smaller steps along the path to reaching your weight goal. If you think like a winner you will succeed and if you don’t plan to succeed you’re actually planning for failure. You know that regular exercise improves and strengthens your muscles, by continually channeling your emotions and thoughts these feelings help strengthen your resolve and attitude meaning success will become a way of life for you in whatever you do.

Stop all negative thoughts and look for the positive in everything. Replace negative self-image with statements of self-worth and learn different ways to acknowledge and emphasize your personal abilities and strengths.

There are other things to consider in losing weight as well as healthy eating, it is also about your lifestyle and resting your body with enough sleep, making sure you drink the recommended 2 liters of water a day and ensuring you get plenty of exercise. When you feel good about yourself you will naturally want to give yourself good things. The best thing you can do for yourself is look after your health.

A positive approach to life is not just about you; building a encouraging support group around you with friends and family makes a big difference. Your support structure could include close friends, family members, a local weight loss club, a dietician or health counselor and your family doctor.

Think about how you’re making your weight loss goal seem achievable. Determine the steps you can take to ensure you succeed. Are you ready to have a positive weight management or weight loss experience that will create a new and healthier life for you?

Many experts have recommended that to control excessive weight rise, we must cut down on refined carbohydrates like rice and pasta. however, these food are the only nutrients that could keep us 'filled' and satisfyingly full. I mean, without them, we will be extremely hungry. I am trying to revise my diet but on the other hand, retain my energy to deal with daily chores. If my stomach is hungry, i may be vulnerable to gastric etc. The question is, is there any sort of replacement to these refined carbohydrates?If there is, what are the example of food that you recommend?

DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT! worry about carbs or fat or anything else! your body needs carbs and fat to work! just look at calories and figure out your daily caloric intake. that's all it takes! if you are a couch potato and sit on a couch all day and exert nothing you should intake your body weight multiplied by eleven (in calories) to stay at the body weight. so once you figure out your caloric intake.. set a goal to cut that intake. I guarantee you will lose weight after one month if you cut down on your caloric intake! remember.. exercising burns CALORIES so even if you eat the same but work more off.. you'll end up losing weight. so just watch your calories.

People have recommending blending 6 pieces of romain lettuce with two cups of water and then drinking it.

Drinking water with lemon in it and/or green tea first thing in the morning.

I was wondering if anyone had any results to these or anything else to add, I need to lose 3 pounds in 5 days, any help please!

Look for an anti-bloat diet. There is one included in the “Flat Belly Diet Book” It’s basically 1200 calories a day of food that won’t contribute to gas and lots of water. What it does is flush out water weight and other ickys that add pounds and make you look puffy.

My weight suddenly started to increase dramatically during my freshman year of high school. I went from 130 pounds to 179 pounds in less than a year. I have very long stretch marks all over my body and know that it isn't healthy.

I have been doing an half hour of excercise a day for a week straight and eating an abundant source of veggies and fruits. I lost 10 pounds. I feel a lot better too. My mother is concerned that I am losing it too fast, and I'm starting to feel the same way.

What foods do you recommend? How much excercise should I really be doing? Will the stretch marks go away?

My goal is 130 pounds at February 2008.

Thanks for the help in advance.

You should cut your workouts down to a maximum of 3 times per week. Veggies & fruits are an excellent source of vitamens but remember for proper muscle tone, you need protein. Fish and poultry is an excellent source. Unfortuanetly, the stretch marks will not go aware, they may fade a bit. Try getting you some coco butter and putting it on after showering or before you go to bed.
