Fast Weight Loss

Question: Can anyone give me any websites to get info on fast weight loss? I have been searching for information on this for a while but everytime i've read through a few pages they then ask you to pay for information. I just want somewhere to give me an idea of how to promote fast weight loss. I am very active, i exercise 5 days a week sometimes twice and eat healthyly but my weight never changes. i do want to loose some but need help on how.

Answer: With all of the extravagant claims for weight loss products and schemes - whether they have to do with tea or not - a good rule of thumb is buyer beware. With that in mind, however, there is evidence that indicates that tea might play a role in weight loss. When it comes to losing weight, one of the simplest ways tea can help is by acting as a substitute for high-calorie sweetened beverages. Freshly brewed tea without milk, sugar or other additives has no calories and even small amounts of these add-ins typically contribute only a modest amount. By comparison, a 16-ounce Starbucks Frappucino may contain as much as 470 calories, while eight ounces of Coca-Cola contains 97 calories. Studies also indicate that tea itself may play a role in weight loss. A 2005 study looked at 35 Japanese men over a period of three months. Some subjects were given bottled oolong tea with a green tea extract that contained 690 milligrams of catechins. Others were given oolong tea that contained 22 milligrams of catechins. Though their diets were similar, the former group lost an average of 5.3 pounds, as opposed to the latter's 2.9 pounds. The men given higher doses of catechins also saw a greater decrease in body mass index, waist size, total body fat and undesirable LDL cholesterol. More recently, research conducted at the University of Connecticut over a period of six week, saw both lean and obese mice fed a green tea extract (GTE), in varying amounts. As noted in these pages previously, the study found that the extract might help ward off fatty liver disease. There are also indications that GTE might aid in weight loss as well as lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Other research examining possible connections between tea and weight loss include this study from 1999, which investigated whether green tea extract could increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. Another study, whose results were also published in 1999, examined the alleged anti-obesity action of oolong tea. Yet another study, published in 2000, measured the effectiveness of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) derived from green tea leaves in reducing appetite and contributing to weight loss in rats.

Question: Can fast weight loss be healthy if done right? Fast weight loss is unhealthy because it can slow your metabolism and it will make you start burning muscle (from what I understand so far). So my question is, Can fast weight loss be healthy if while cutting your calories you still separate to 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism up; While also going to the gym everyday working different muscle groups every other day, while still doing a strong aerobic workout every day?

Answer: Fast weight loss may not be the ideal way, but it does have advantages: 1. It's better than remaining overweight. 2. It may be easier to stick to a short, brutal diet vs slow gradual weight loss. 3. You may have a deadline for your weight loss. The fastest way to lose weight is a protein-sparing modified fast. The best book out there is by Lyle McDonald and is called the Rapid Fat Loss Handbook. There's a review on my blog.

Question: Faster weight loss during a water fast? Im over 500 pounds how can i get a faster weight loss during a 7 day water fast. If you have any tips tell me, im on the 2nd day and it seems like i lost nothing.

Answer: Don't g weighing yourself al the time, it'll just demotivate you if you haven't lost what you've expected to loose. Just wait till the end of the 7 days fast and then weigh yourself. But to answer your question - you are already down to eating nothing, so the only thing left is exercise if you can manage it. I'd go on a walk everyday as it's relatively low key. I'm not sure what your height it, but at 500lbs I'm guessing that you are pretty overweight, so take it slow, don't overdo it, just walk as much as you can without exhausting yourself. Time yourself that first day and walk the same amount of time the next day. As you are fasting you might have very little energy soon, so be careful combining that with walking. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded or whatever, just stop.

Question: Does fast weight loss affect the effectiveness of your birth control? I am on the depo shot and recently had weight loss surgery. The weight loss from the surgery has caused lots of heavy spotting (which has never happened before on the depo shot with me). Is the weight loss counteracting the effectiveness of the shot?

Answer: It is possible to lose weight rapidly but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight quickly then you will inevitably put it all back on again just as quickly. I lost 5 pounds over the past few weeks when I had a special celebration to attend, and I did it by following the instruction supplied on the site in the box below.

Answer: I have started this Diet (lifestyle change) in the middle of November at 140lbs, and now at 117lbs http://hubpages.com/hub/fruit_fast A DIET IS WHAT YOU EAT....there for we are all on a diet.... THINK LIFESTYLE CHANGE You got the change the way you think and feel about food TRY THIS, and stick to it. The first 3-4 weeks are the hardest until your body adjusts to the change. Results will be in about the same time Fruits and Veggies Eat more plants and keep away from stuff that was made in plants. Don't eat anything that comes in a can, box or package.... .....THEY HAVE ADDITIVES IN THEM THAT MAKE YOU ADDICTED TO THE FOOD..... If man made it, don't eat it NO white BREAD or SUGAR NO PIZZA, I am in the pizza business, and it is not good for you, very high in FAT and Calories NO FRIED FOOD... Stay away from FAST FOOD NO POP, SODA or FIZZY DRINKS Walk your dog, or walk a friends dog Don't think of it as a diet, but think of it as a lifestyle change I have lost 28.5 pounds in 3 months, drink lots of water. I usually eat a meal of what ever I want once a week....controlled portion....this really works......... Write down every thing you eat take a multivitamin at night

Question: What diet or lifestyle change have you tried that gave you fast weight loss results? Please share your tips & techniques on foods, exercise, lifestyle changes that gave you fast results in losing weight! Thanks =D I agree Mickey! Determination/ will power is what makes a diet a success or an epic fail lol. We can have great diet plans & guidelines that will work if we do them right & to the T! @Perfectangelana: How much weight did you lose in a week of eating just string cheese & drinking smoothies?

Answer: Drink plenty of mineral water as your main daily intake of liquid. I like Volvic, if you haven't taken the challenge you should try, it really is full of volcanicity! A cheaper option would be to buy a Brita water filter. Give up sugar loaded carbonated soft drinks. No more Dr Pepper, no more Pepsi. Just one can of Coke contains 31% of your recommended daily amount of sugar! If this is not possible, limit yourself to one can a day. Walk when you can. Walk to the shops, walk to your weekly appointment, walk to the school, even walk to work if you want. If it's within reasonable walking distance walk. You'll save money on petrol too. Eat sandwiches without margarine or butter whichever you use. I don't find either of these improve the taste of the sandwich if you can taste it at all. In fact, you'll hardly notice it's not there. Cut down on fast foods. I'm not telling you to give up, but to cut back on takeaway grub, maybe limit it to once a week or fortnight, and when you do buy in smaller quantities. Order a cheeseburger instead of quarter pounder, buy a small doner kebab, order a small pizza. And of course wash it down with a bottle of Buxton spring water! If you usually eat a whole tub of Ben & Jerry's in one, eat only half. If you usually eat six packets of crisps a day, eat just two. If you usually order 2 big macs, large fries, chicken nuggets and large cola, order just 1 quarter pounder, medium fries and a bottle of water. http://www.articlesbase.com/weight-loss-articles/best-weight-loss-plan-top-tips-to-lose-weight-2785321.html

Question: Help choosing meal plan for fast weight loss? I have recently purchased the Slim in 6 workout program. I need to to lose weight fast, and yes I know that losing weight extremely fast isn't healthy, but I'm looking to lose the most weight I can in a healthy manner. What diet plan should I follow to go with this program? I am horrible at planning meals, I'm a vegetarian and seeking meals and food options that are inexpensive.

Answer: You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you'll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace. If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn't get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn't slow your metabolism down to compensate for lowered calories. Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released. High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels. Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!

Question: Does anyone have tips on fast weight loss? My prom is coming upon firday. And I don't fit in my dress as good as I should. I need some tips to lose my extra weight fast. Can someone please tell me a diet that would work? Things that you should know: I do exercise and I drink a lot of water during the day. I never drink any pop unless its diet.

Answer: go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

Question: Why is fast weight loss bad? HOw to gain it all back? I am on a diet and people tell me that if I do fast weight loss (30 lbs in 2 months), Ill just gain it all back. I don't get that because my metabolism by then will be fast. Also, I will continue on exercising but more leanient on my diet. It's not like I'll go back to my old lifestyle so how do you gain the weight back if you do fast weight loss?

Answer: Its because when you get off a diet you generally go back to your old ways, or you think i'm not on a diet any more, food isn't forbidden! and then you pig out. just be careful about what you eat and you will be fine

Question: what a good method of fast weight loss? i am 10-15 pounds overweight and i am in my pubescent years, i need to lose weight and fast. i am not very active, in the sense of going to exercise and etc. i also wouldn't mind motivation for exercise either :)... also, is losing 15 pounds easy? please recommend any good methods for a fast weight loss, i would greatly appreciate it :) thanks! is fasting a good method? and if so, how long should i do it for ?

Answer: There are unnatural ways of burning fat by burning thermogenics, which I don't recommend even as a GNC representative because they can mess with your hormones and thyroid. The best way to make your body utilize fat and burn them is to limit your carb intake while increasing your lean meat intake. Remember proteins do not make you gain weight, instead carbs/sugar from snacks/too much fruits/rice/potatoes/etc will make you gain weight thus putting on fat. You must burn off the extra calories that you are consuming from mainly carb/sugar products to lose weight. And it's not going to be easy to lose weight while not exercising and it is not healthy. Also try squeezing lemon in a cup of water in the morning right after waking up and drink it. It will suppress the appetite a bit and increase your metabolism naturally to promote fat burning. Keep doing it until you see results.

Question: is this a good dinner for fast weight loss? I am trying to lose weight in ten days. I ate healthily all day and just got back from an hour walk(at a fast pace and up a very steep hill) for dinner im having baked salmon and onions and sqaush sauteed in a little olive oil.

Answer: Awesome dinner, yes. Some lovely lean meat or fish makes a really good main dish.

Question: what are some good effective fast weight loss supplements you can buy? any good ones? like at GNC or the Vitamin stores? Anyone have any experiance? or knowledge of which ones are more effective and fast? thankyou.

Answer: thermogenics are pretty popular to increase your energy level without too many calories (sorta like a 5hour energy without carbs). b12 is always popular. if you are going to exercise you can stack whey protein with dextrose and creatine, but it wont help weight loss if you aren't exercising vigorously.

Question: what is the difference between slim fast weight loss shakes and the costco brand weight loss shakes? i am going to start the slim fast diet tomorrow but i know that the Kirkland brand is cheaper. is there a difference?

Question: cut carbohydrates to a minimun for fast weight loss? if i completely cut down on bad carbohydrates exercise every other day and drink lots of water. im not over weight im just right but want to lose half a stone if i do this for a month how much weight loss would en-cure.
