best an fastest way to lose a few pounds

[ladavia89]

count calories (try not to eat over 1200 a day)
buy an outfit you want to wear in the smaller size you want to be able to fit and post a pic of your ideal body on your fridge
cut out fast food, sweets, soda, and alcohol or at least limit it
exercise- move, move, move! if you don't have equipment take a walk, do jumping jacks, just move- daily.
put lemon juice in all your drinks as a detox
do a colon cleanse- do this if you do nothing else, I use Body Gold from walmart, 75 pills for $10, take 5 every night

Let me know which tips you try and how they work out for you.  Mind if I ask what you're preparing for?

1200 is the bare minimum a very small sedentary person should be consuming unless under the care of a doctor. Since most people are not very small even if they are sedentary then need to consume more just so their body will function properly.


You don't need to do colon cleanses. If you eat correctly your body will work correctly without the use of any pills.

Losing weight is simple. Move your body more and eat less junk. There is no need to any special diets or magic pills. If you have realistic goals and expectations you'll get to where your body should be but not necessarily where you want it to be

Count calories and watch your portions. Exercise also. If you have a smart phone, there's this app you can download called my fitness pal. It helped me a lot to stay on track.

Don't know if this works, but sounds like it will.  Before you start, get a journal and document your daily routine counting calories you currently eat and the exercise you already do for a week or two.  Then, go online and search BMR calculator, which will give you your Basal Metabolic Rate (basically what you'd burn if you did nothing all day).  You then take your BMR number and multiply it based on your current level of activity (Harris Benedict Equation, generally found on the BMR page or a link somewhere) to give you an idea of the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight. 

Now you can adjust your intake without completely starving yourself and add some exercise without wiping yourself out.  1200 calories may be too few calories depending on your body, this gives you a number that may be easier to achieve and, more importantly, easier to maintain for the long run.  It may not be completely accurate, but it gives a general guideline to start with and adjust as you go.  You may find out that your intake is fine and just adding 10 minutes of exercise is enough for you to lose weight.


One good way is to juice your fruits and veggies.  You digest liquids faster, so any exercise you do goes straight to your body.  Plus, by reducing them to liquids, you can take in way more veggies and fruits than you normally could. 

Also, if you don't like traditional exercises, figure out what intrigues you and do that.  I get bored doing tradition exercises.  However, playing soccer or volleyball gets me moving.  And I can do Just Dance or Dance Central for hours without noticing how long I've been going.  You don't have to just walk or just run to lose weight, you just need to do something that keeps you moving.

Don't expect to lost immediately.  I went up 10 pounds before things starting going in the other direction.  Consider weight yourself once a week instead of every day at first so you don't get discouraged at the lack of progress.

Get others to do it with you.  It is so hard to lose weight when others keep tempting you with treats or when they are watching your favorite show while you have to go for a walk.

Cut back on alcohol if you drink it.  It's mostly empty calories with little, if any, substance.

Give yourself a snack.  If you want ice cream, have a small bowl of it.  Totally cutting out those things can make you upset about doing this "diet," which makes you less likely to want to continue.

Plan meals if you don't already.  It's really frustrating to want to eat something and yet you have nothing in the house but a bag of potato chips.  Either make and freeze some food or figure out a few different things you can make with certain ingredients and make sure to pick those up when you go shopping.  I don't know about you, but I'm more incline to have a salad if I don't have to cut up everything for it.

I didn't think suggesting someone eat 1200 calories per day and do a colon cleanse (which is debatable whether or not it's necessary) was so horrible lol

I bought the book "the 17 day diet" and I lost 14 pounds the first 17 days.  It really works.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

Drop junk food and soda if you consume much of these - and walk every day or at least every other day.  These combined with trying to eat a well balanced diet seems to work for me.

True, I also dont eat meat.  I know if I go vegan for a while I lose a lot of weight!
Just watch what u eat.

Exercise at least 30 min every day. Vary your workouts. Drink lots of water and eat healthy to help your body recover faster.

I have a friend who took all sugur out of her diet and walked 4 miles everyday...she's lost over 40 since Christmas...

I found some thinning tea. Drink that with vegs and fruits.

Exercise and diet. Cardiovascular usually works the best at losing weight because you aren't gaining as much muscle weight as you would if you were just lifting weiights. Weights are good for creating muscle and sculpting your shape-the additional muscle also helps kick your metabolism into gear.Running and swimming burn the most calories and bike riding has low impact on your joints. Six small meals per day so that your metabolism is constantly going and going with a palm sized portion of protein and a palm sized portion of carbohydrates is a pretty good standard to follow. Lots of water and vegetables. Burning more calories than you eat helps you burn the weight faster.

Exercise.

If you don't add exercise to your daily routine, I'm sorry, but the weight will not come off and stay off. Eat vegetables (not as much fruit) protein and cut back on starches and sugar.

It's not that difficult, just watch portion sizes.

[nmsmith]

Become or Vegetarian or at the very least take beef and pork out of your diet... you will see and feel a big difference w/in weeks....

[camellia0]

Drink lots of water - it will fill you up, cut calories and exercise.

[nannycoe1]

Don't eat late at night.

[dwggs]

What seems to work for me is to cut out the sugary foods.
Chocolate .. soda etc.

I also have tried the Raspberry Ketone pills that you can get
at Walmart.   Yes, they do work.
