Answer 1

You can not lose 25 lbs. in 2 weeks on any diet! You should have started at the beginning of summer if you were that worried about being overweight when school started back. I have worked really hard all summer and I have lost 30 lbs. I wish I could have lost it in 2 weeks but it just is not possible! I work out everyday and drink lots of water. I also eat off small saucer plates for supper, I eat a fiber rich cereal with fat free milk for breakfast and, something like a granola bar for lunch. You cannot expect to sit around eating and being lazy all summer and eat cereal every day for 2 weeks and lose weight! Come on be realistic!

Answer 2

Sorry, but 25 pounds is not only nearly impossible but it would be dangerous to your health. If you ate nothing - complete starvation, you would still have a hard time losing that much. You should aim for 2 to 3 pounds a week - that will keep you healthy plus you'll be more likely to keep the weight off.

I know you want to start the schoool year on a high note, but a crash diet isn't the way to do it. If you start a sensible diet now, you'll lose 5-6 pounds by the time school starts, and you'll take off 25 pounds by Halloween. Make that your goal.

Answer 4

loosing 25lbs in 2 weeks is VERY UNHEALTHY!!!!! rethink the amount and time frame in which you want to loose.

Answer 5

dont eat is the only way to do it that fast

Answer 6

The max you can lose in 14 days is 14 pounds. And you would have to pretty much starve your self like I do. 25 is unrealistic. If you have money go get a body wrap for around 100 dollars that can take at least an inch off of everything and up to 3 inches.

Answer 7

Adopt one or more of these simple, painless strategies to help lose weight without going on a "diet":

   1. Eat Breakfast Every Day. One habit that's common to many people who have lost weight and kept it off is eating breakfast every day. "Many people think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories, but they usually end up eating more throughout the day, says Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD, author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to the New Food Pyramids.  "Studies show people who eat breakfast have lower BMIs than breakfast-skippers and perform better, whether at school or in the boardroom." Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and low-fat dairy for a quick and nutritious start to your day.

   2. Close the Kitchen at Night. Establish a time when you will stop eating so you won't give in to the late-night munchies or mindless snacking while watching television. "Have a cup of tea, suck on a piece of hard candy or enjoy a small bowl of light ice cream or frozen yogurt if you want something sweet after dinner, but then brush your teeth so you will be less likely to eat or drink anything else," suggests Elaine Magee, MPH, RD, WebMD's "Recipe Doctor" and the author of Comfort Food Makeovers.

   3. Choose Liquid Calories Wisely. Sweetened drinks pile on the calories, but don't reduce hunger like solid foods do.  Satisfy your thirst with water, sparkling water with citrus, skim or low-fat milk, or small portions of 100% fruit juice. Try a glass of nutritious and low-calorie vegetable juice to hold you over if you get hungry between meals. Be careful of alcohol calories, which add up quickly.  If you tend to drink a glass or two of wine or a cocktail on most days, limiting alcohol to the weekends can be a huge calorie saver.

   4. Eat More Produce.  Eating lots of low-calorie, high-volume fruits and vegetables crowds out other foods that are higher in fat and calories. Move the meat off the center of your plate and pile on the vegetables. Or try starting lunch or dinner with a vegetable salad or bowl of broth-based soup, suggests Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan. The U.S. government's 2005 Dietary Guidelines suggest that adults get 7-13 cups of produce daily. Ward says that's not really so difficult: "Stock your kitchen with plenty of fruits and vegetables and at every meal and snack, include a few servings," she says. "Your diet will be enriched with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber, and if you fill up on super-nutritious produce, you won't be reaching for the cookie jar."

   5. Go for the Grain.  By substituting whole grains for refined grains like white bread, cakes, cookies, and pretzels, you add much-needed fiber and will fill up faster so you're more likely to eat a reasonable portion. Choose whole-wheat breads and pastas, brown rice, bran flakes, popcorn, and whole-rye crackers.

   6. Control Your Environments.  Another simple strategy to help cut calories is to control your environment -- everything from stocking your kitchen with lots of healthy options to choosing the right restaurants. That means avoiding the temptation by staying away from all-you-can-eat restaurants.  And when it comes to parties, "eat a healthy snack before so you won't be starving, and be selective when you fill your plate at the buffet," suggests Ward.  Before going back for more food, wait at least 15 minutes and have a big glass of water.

   7. Trim Portions. If you did nothing else but reduce your portions by 10%-20%, you would lose weight. Most of the portions served both in restaurants and at home are bigger than you need.  Pull out the measuring cups to get a handle on your usual portion sizes, and work on paring them down.  Get instant portion control by using small bowls, plates, and cups, says Brian Wansink, PhD, author of Mindless Eating. You won't feel deprived because the food will look plentiful on dainty dishware.

   8. Add More Steps. Get yourself a pedometer and gradually add more steps until you reach 10,000 per day. Throughout the day, do whatever you can to be more active -- pace while you talk on the phone, take the dog out for an extra walk, and march in place during television commercials.  Having a pedometer serves as a constant motivator and reminder.

   9. Have Protein at Every Meal and Snack.  Adding a source of lean or low-fat protein to each meal and snack will help keep you feeling full longer so you're less likely to overeat. Try low-fat yogurt, small portion of nuts, peanut butter, eggs, beans, or lean meats. Experts also recommend eating small, frequent meals and snacks (every 3-4 hours), to keep your blood sugar levels steady and to avoid overindulging.

  10. Switch to Lighter Alternatives. Whenever you can, use the low-fat versions of salad dressings, mayonnaise, dairy products, and other products.  "You can trim calories effortlessly if you use low-fat and lighter products, and if the product is mixed in with other ingredients, no one will
