Fast, healthy weight loss?

We Answered:

ONLY drink water, that helps a lot! No sugary sodas, or even diet sodas. Also try whole grains and eat a lot of fiber. Cut out extra sugar as well... and artificial sweeteners. Try and jog/run/work out ff possible. You should be able to lose some weight that way =)

Help!!! Any good tips for fast, healthy weight loss?

We Answered:

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca… This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Fast weight loss program or pill that is also natural healthy weight loss?

We Answered:

good luck!


... what i mean is there is no such thing as "fast" AND "healthy" they don't go together. weight loss requires consistently making the best diet and exercise choices. for it to be lasting and healthy... it will take time

Robin Said:

Can fast weight loss be healthy if done right?

We Answered:

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.
