Now why cant someone invent a tapeworm pill you swallow... you lose the weight you need then when you reach your goal weight you swallow another pill to kill the tapeworm?



Actually, taking a tape worm and then the tapeworm medicine used to be a weight lose method years ago until it was learned that the worm was sucking nutrients out too.

Oh, and situps.  Sounds like the middle is where you need to slim up.



Spot reduction doesn't work.  

Eat very small portions.  Take in as few calories as possible. This is the hard one.
Drink lots of water.  LOTS.
Supplemental vitamins.
Cardio to the point of ridiculousness.

You can make weight.  20 lbs is doable.

I've lost nearly 20 lbs since April and the only thing I did was switch to diet sodas, really. I was excercising for a while but then I got out of the habit and havn't started again. It's been very slow, but steady.

No offense taken - I know I am a fatass.  My mid-term plan is to get on a sensible diet and exercise program, my original post was just how to lose 20 of it fast.



I took off 36 lbs. in exactly two months. The doctor and site recommend no exercise till you are in maintenance. First three days are the hardests - always remember eat before you are hungry. Works like a charm. This is NOT a perm solution, but can be integrated into a fully managed and proper eatting style for life.

Run a marathon... through a minefield. Once you can't run any more you're either really tired or you've lost quite a bit of weight. If you can walk on your hands you stand to lose even more weight.

The "Fat Fast"

Eat 1000 calories of food primarily fat. Such as tuna, macadamia nuts, egg yolks, cream cheese. Your body will lose weight faster doing this then even not eating, period.

Quoted:
This is not rocket science.

Don't do Akins. If you want to keep the weight off, you need to follow a meal plan that you can use the rest of your life.

Carbs =  Sugar. Your body turns all carbs into sugar. Period. I don't care how "healthy" those carbs are, they still become sugar. Special K is considered a healthy cereal, right? It is still a bowl of sugar as far as your body is concerned.

Sugar + Insulin = triglicerides (sp?). Triglicerides = stored body fat

We have all been raised to eat carbs in all their forms. That is why so many people are overweight. Stop doing that. Also, we have also been progammed to beleive that fats are bad for you. That is not true, fats are just as important as protein and carbs.

Replace some carb calories with protein calories (meat, eggs, cheese, non-salted nuts). Stop being addicted to carbs (milk, pasta, potatos, beans, cereal, bread, crackers, and so on).

Don't drink your calories (Milk, orange juice, alcohol....yes alcohol, you can't lose weight getting hammered on beer).

AND EXERCISE for crying out loud.  Take a brisk walk for 30 min, three to four times a week will do wonders. Nothing fancy.

Don't starve yourself either. You have to eat to lose weight. That is a fact lost on a lot of people. Calories will keep your metabolism higher. Starve yourself and your body goes into conservation mode. Yes, you can lose weight by brute force starvation. But once you start to eat again you will become heavier than when you started.

That is all there is to it. No magic pills, videos, or "diets". Just a change in lifestyle. But that is the real bitch, having to change your lifestyle, ain't it?

ETA: Weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per week is good. You don't want to go much faster then that if you want to keep it off.

True but the moment you start eating your body will store calories like you've been starving which you were and it will LOWER you overall metabolic rate so you can stor FAT more efficiently.

Go to a Doctor, hopefully your long term care doctor - OR you can really fuck yourself up.

When you fast, you seriously slow down your metabolism because your body switches into survival

mode. I mean, you can lose weight, but it won't actually be fat mass, it will be water. I'd say it a low

calorie/low carb diet and EXERCISE! Incorporate more protein into your meals, because the amino

acids will react with stomach peptides to make you feel more full.

Ok...here's your diet.

Drink at least a cup of Prune Juice once a day to get your bowels moving.  Do that for a couple days till your good and cleaned out.

Eat tuna and rice 3x per day.  That's all your meals.  1/2 cup rice (uncooked) to one 6oz can of tuna.  Cook the rice, of course.  Any seasonings (salt, pepper, spices) but nothing else.  No butter or mayo or anything.

Drink about 2 liters of water per day--that will help you feel full.

Uncooked, and steamed vegetables and fruits are your friends.  Eat as much as you want, they're 'free'.

Take a multivitamin once per day to balance out your nutritional intake.

Lift weights or do some cardio regularly (at least once a day) to use up the protien in the tuna, other wise it will turn to fat.  The other solution is to reduce your tuna intake if you're not exercising enough to use the protien.

Here's what you'll accomplish in two weeks:

1. Very very clean bowels.  If you have gas, you won't even stink.
2. Very high energy level after you body gets used to the lowered intake.  This is high performance food--high complex carbs, high protien, multivitamin, and the fruits which have lots of simple sugars.
3. Weight should melt off if you're disciplined and stick to it.

Any time I feel like I'm a bit over weight I do this diet for a few weeks to get myself trimmed up.  I do this alot in the winter since I'm not outside as much, and I'm usually pretty buff by the start of summer.  I look like a slob by the start of winter, tho...LOL...or at least I think I do.

You're thinking of Phenylpropanolamine. Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), along with Ephidrine,  were OTC meds the FDA has pulled off the shelf due to reasons stated in other posts.

Phentermine is a  prescription drug.

I does have it's side effects, it's somewhat similar to amphetamine. However it generally only works for about 2 months. After that you have to continue your own diet/excersise program.

Phentermine is a kick-start,  sometimes a very effective kick-start, but nothing more.

went from 234 to 157 on this.....about 14 years ago.  
after too many 12 hr nights working and then coming home to a rack o' beer/a good movie/ a plate o' nachos/ and then strait to bed.......i've turned into a digusting fatbody, and i'm about a week into it again.
it works like a charm. the only two hard parts are drinking water when you're not realy thirsty, but you really need to do that to help flush all the shit out of your body from breaking the fat down, and learning to basically not eat, but not eating (solid food anyway) becomes real easy after 4 days or so.
this time i won't do it all in one shot,though. i'll do about a month, do whatever for a week, and repeat as needed

Cut back on carbs, increase protein, and exercise (while maintaining an appropriate caloric intake. average intake for a male is 2000, average for female is 1800).
