Answer 2

I'm not sure that you're really fat, but:

1) high protein

2) low carb - no pasta

3) fruits - no bananas

4) veggies - corn, peas, beans are out

5) one fat a day - 5 grams

6) 64 ounces of water

7) Three meals a day

8) snack on protein

9) keep track using a food diary

10) weigh in the am after urinating before breakfast, shower

Answer 3

shredded wheat for breakfast and as much salads, fruits, vegetables, grilled chicken, grilled fish.. one red meat a weak broiled only.  Can't go wrong.

Answer 4

drink plenty of water

running

sit ups

joining the gym?

cutting chocolate out of your diet for a while?

watching carefully the calories youre eating

dancing

avoid catching buses and taking the car for short journeys, walk instead

maybe write a schedule of what to eat and what exercises to do, follow it strictly until you feel happy

when you fancy a chocolate bar or something sugary, replace it with an apple or another piece of fruit (difficult, but will wok in the end)

another one, a bit unnusual, but i find using a dance mat knackers me out and really makes my muscles work to the max

Answer 5

1) Realize that weight loss is generally a long process. Expecting super fast results generally makes people feel frustrated and then they give up when the results were not super fast. (Water weight can be lost quickly, but after that, losing fat is hard work.)

2) Count your calories. (Using calorieking (website) and a food scale to help). You’d be surprised how easy it is to rack up calories if you don’t count them. Many things have way more calories in them then you’d think…especially at restaurants.

Use a calorie calculator to make sure you’re not going too high…OR too low! Also, you need to ramp your calories slowly…a big change all at once can be bad for your metabolism. See my source for a calorie calculator that is also an article that explains what I am talking about in further detail.

3) Similar to the above, try to make most of your own food. Make it ahead of time. You can do this by cooking a lot of food at once, putting into Tupperware-type containers and then put those in the fridge or freezer. (Think of it as making your own TV dinner, except exactly what you want in it, without sugary sauces they often put in those.)

4) Make most of your food be from the following sources: Oatmeal (no sugar), brown rice, sweat potato, chicken breast, lean beef, eggs (or even just egg whites), whey protein shakes, and just about every type of vegetable. (Fruit is also good in first thing in the morning, or right after a workout.)

Be liberal with different kinds of seasoning, to make the same foods taste different!

(You can cheat on your diet, but don't do it often, and try to PLAN when you do it. For example, if you have a friend's birthday party on the weekend, and you want to eat cake that day...plan on it ahead of time, and don't break your diet during the week.)

5) Drink lots of water. Drinking water can help you keep your sodium intake lower, which is especially important if you add seasoning as per advice number 4. (Most seasoning has sodium.)

6) Do cardio workouts. (Even walking counts!) Start easy if you’ve never done it before…just 20 minutes of walking during a time of day you’d normally not be moving around. Eventually work it up to 30-45 minutes…then starting increasing the speed.

The best time for cardio workouts: First thing in the morning on an empty stomach OR right after lifting weights. Doing it ANY time is better than not doing it, however!

7) Lift weights. Even if you don’t want to be muscular, this is actually pretty important. There are many benefits to having some muscle (even if it’s not a lot).

The benefits include

Moving about in day to day life becomes easier (like carrying in groceries).

Increased metabolism (allowing you to burn fat easier).

More shapely body. (Even women with small bits of muscle look more shapely because of it.)

You’re not going to become super strong and bulky on accident, so please don’t shy away from the weight lifting portion of fitness!

8) Ask other people who have lost a lot of weight what they did. Ask people with your ideal body what they do to maintain it.

Keep in mind that people have different body types, so what works for them may not work for you. But getting this info is a great starting point.

9) Try to eat 5+ meals a day. This helps for several reasons, and I think the biggest one is “over-eating prevention.” Your body can only handle a certain amount of calories in every meal. Every calorie over that amount gets stored on your body. If you eat smaller and more frequent meals, you avoid this.

Also note that every time you eat, your bodies digestive system “turns on” which means a slight increase in metabolism, which is good for losing weight…so more meals in the day helps for this reason too.

10) Track your progress, and only compare yourself to yourself when evaluating your progress. Track your progress in as many areas as you can. For example if you walked 20 extra minutes one day, right that down. If your weight went down by half a pound in one week, write that down. If you lifting a tiny bit more weight while lifting weights, write that down.

These small changes won’t seem like much, but you’ll be able to look back on them and go “Wow, I really came a long way!”

Writing down what you do also makes you accountable to yourself. It increases the chances you’ll stick with it, and not skip out on your obligation.

Answer 6

1. Lift weights doing compound movements

2. Lift as heavy as possible

3. Do High Intensity Cardio (short but intense: sprints, etc.)

4. Do the cardio in the morning on an empty stomach

5. Take in 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight a day

6. Limit your carbs to the meal after main workout (weight lifting)

7. Eliminate all sugar

8. Get good carbs only (brown rice, buckwheat noodles, etc.)

9. Drink coffee before you workout (thermogenic)

10. Give yourself time to lose weight. It doesn't happen over night.

Answer 7

1. Get your sleep. Research shows that lack of sleep piles on the pounds. You end up over eating because you're tired.

2. Drink 8 glass of water. Drinking keeps you from mistaking thirst for hunger. It also keeps your stomach full so there's less room for food and you end up eating less.

3. Eat foods that speed up your metabolism, like curry.

4. Eat 6 small meals a day, as opposed to 3 big ones. It speeds up your metabolism

5. Do weight training. Building muscle helps you to lose weight. Muscle burns 8 times more calories than fat, and it burns 24/7 even when you're asleep.

6. Grocery list. What you do won you can't eat. Don't stock your house with temptations and you won't cheat as much.

7. Vinegar. Use it on your salads and it curbs your appetite for sweets

8. Walking. Just 45 minutes a day and you kick start your metabolism

9. Posting. Studies show that isolation is a bit enemy of weight loss. So, keep posting on this website and others you enjoy

10. Ear plugs. A lot of people will not support you in your efforts to change. They like you just the way they are. Maybe it makes them feel better that you're fat. Maybe they just don't like change. Whatever.

But you have to shut out the negative voices. Or at least turn down the volume. When they question your efforts or try to discourage you, practice an answer in your head, even if you don't say it out loud "I'm changing. Get over it!'

Answer 8

4. Eat Cauliflower, cabbage & green vegetables in more quantity.

5. Walk in Morning & evening daily to 30-40 minute

Try it for 7 days You will see the difference.

Answer 10

I went on a diet a while ago and it worked. Basically, these are the things I did:

1 - Cut out pepsi and other pop entirely (that stuff is packed with sugar and it's terrible for you).

2 - Figure out what unhealthy food you eat most and cut that out completely (for me, it was poutine).

3 - Drink lots of water (not only does it not have anything fattening in it, but it also cleanes the inside of you... so anything hanging around will get out, lol).

4 - Don't eat anything after 8 ish, or 3 hours before you go to bed (when you sleep, your body burns off some fat... the french word is "jeuner" but Im not sure how to say it in english... anywho, by stopping your food intake a few hours before you go to sleep, you're body can burn the fat better).

5 - When you're really hungry, you probably aren't as hungry as you think you are. Therefore, try just having a muffin or something until meal time. That way, you avoid eating extra meals by turning them into snacks. This is a good way to reduce your food intake. IT CAN BE A CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN! Doesn't matter. As long as it's not way more food than you need.

6 - If you want to have bad foods (to splurge... which is okay every once in a while), go for candy instead of chocolate. Chocolate is a million times more fattening that candy.

7 - Take the stairs instead of an elevator. I didn't actually work out when I was on my diet, but I did change a couple habits that forced me to get in a little extra exercise. Go for walks. They're healthy both for your body and for your mind. That kind of stuff.

8 - Try doing physical activity that you enjoy doing. Personally, going to the gym for a workout wasn't my thing. So I went skiing instead. Don't think about working out to lose weight; think about working out because you love to do it (whatever type of workout it may be).

9 - You have to do it because YOU want to do it. Doing it for someone else won't get you anywhere. I realised that once I hit 140, I wasn't happy with myself anymore. That's why I succeeded in my diet. It wouldn't have worked if I had done it for someone else.

Um, that's all I've got. I may edit this later if I remember something else I changed for my diet. FYI, by doing these things I lost 15 pounds in about 1.5 - 2 months. Which is pretty good considering I was 140 lbs. I am assuming that by "very fat" you mean you are a little more than 140 lbs. Losing weight should go a lot quicker for you.

I hope this helps. Everyone is different so what works for me won't necessarily work for you. You may have to explore a bit to figure out your body type. Regardless, these are tips should point you in the right direction. Good luck :)

10. Sweets are your enemy

Answer 12

-Set it as priority and make plan.

-Stay focused on being healthy, not on becoming thin.

-Find out the main source of your problem. Is it overeating? Depression, anxiety. Is it a metabolism issue, lack of exercise? etc.

-Make it a habit, at that age is easier to lose weight than later, be consistent.

-It's not about skipping meals or not eating at all, it's about having a balanced meal. Consume grains, vegetables, fruit .

-Eat slowly,because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in.

-Drink a lot of water. 2L a day minumm.

-Exercise. Try to burn more calories than he ones you eat. Walk 30-60 minutes a day burns stored fats, builds muscle, and speeds up your metabolism.

-Different people lose weight differently. This is the exact reason why there is no single method in loosing weight that applies to all so never adapt a lifestyle from other people just because it is effective on them. Asking an expert to analize your specific case is valid and good. Guidance helps.

Good luck, hope it helps

Answer 13

1.  Drink a LOT of water. It fills you up and helps flush out the sodium that can cause you to retain water.

2.  MOVE - every time you take a step, you're burning calories. Get ACTIVE. Start with a little and build up. EVERY activity counts.

3.  WATCH YOUR PORTIONS. Portion size can come back to bite you in the tail. Look at the portion size on the label (e.g., not the entire BAG of chips - just 18-20 chips).

4.  COUNT CALORIES. This is where the rubber meets the road. If you control your calories - you control your weight. That's the bottom line. Find your BMR (use an online calculator). Subtract 500 from that number. That's you daily calorie alotment for the day. If you eat that many cals daily - you'll drop one pound a week - guaranteed.

5.  DO NOT RUSH. Fad diets are silly, time consuming, and frustrating. You'll probably drop a few pounds the first few days, but they'll come right back on. Remember: weight loss is not a RACE - it's a marathon. Slow but sure will get the job done.

6.  ENLIST THE HELP OF LIKE MINDED OTHERS. When you've got a system of accountability - you've got built in motivation. Find a friend  (or two or ten) who have similar goals. Make a point to check in with them to ENCOURAGE one another and give/receive advice and support.

7.  WEIGH WEEKLY. Chart your progress. Don't weigh any more often than this - it will only serve to feed an obsession with the scale - and that's not what you want. When you do weigh - do it first thing in the morning after urinating.

8.  REWARD YOURSELF - with non food items. Set mini goals and REWARD them. For example - reward yourself at the end of the first week when you committed to walking 30 minutes/day 4 times per week - and followed through. Rewards can be simple (bubble bath) for small goals - or elaborate (e.g., mini spa getaway) for larger goals.

9.  FIBER, FIBER, FIBER.... and did I mention FIBER? Get as MUCH of it into your diet as possible. Calories of FIBER (grams of fiber, that is) cannot be digested. It essentially means that those fiber calories DO NOT COUNT. In addition, fiber fills you up. It has the additional benefit (and never underestimate this one when you're on a diet) of keeping your bowels moving (there is no pleasant way to say that).

10.  DO NOT GIVE UP! NEVER give up until the job is done. Weight loss is an ATTAINABLE goal if you will work at it. Don't expect miracles in the first week, but do expect miracles!

Best of luck,
