Any tips in how to lose weight fast?

[Anonymous]

I want to lose like 5 pounds (I'm a full time student so I don't have much time to exercise). Any tip on how may I accomplish my goal fast?

Exercise is the only true key to losing weight and keeping it off. Diets alone are not a long term solution because your body will adapt. And most absurd 48 hour diets will only cut water weight that you gain back within the same period of time.

Diet pills don't work either, they too tend to only cut water weight.

There are several exercise programs geared towards people who live busy lives. one is called the 10 minute trainer. It won't make all your dreams come true, but it will help you get into better shape with a good diet.

Trying to loose weight fast can be dangerious, so I wouldn't suggest it. But you can loose weight, without excercise, easily by eating healthy. Try having some salad's and eating a lot of small meals between meals in order to stop yourself from over-eating. Good luck! =)

cut out all added sugar, anything with flour, all artificial sweeteners as well- nothing with aspartame. Although technically calorie free, its a dangerous chemical.

Drink at least 8 small glasses of water per day

Go for a run every day.

when I was trying to shed the freshman 15 I ate a tonne of carrots. whenever you are craving munchies like when your studying or whatever, grab some baby carrots and much on them.

Just watch what you eat. Walk to class instead of taking the bus

walk everywhere, don't take the bus if you can, don't stake the elevator, drink only water, cut out the soda

can you say oatmeal? and lots of it lol.

really? does it work?

Sounds silly, but it actually is helpful! I eat oatmeal a few times a week. Oatmeal contains lots of fiber and keeps you full for a long time, so you won't feel hungry so quickly. But make sure to read the container because some brands only have half the nutrition as other brands. Usually ones that promise to cook quickly aren't nearly as healthy. I also recommend exercising at least a half hour every day. Even if you don't have a lot of time, surely you can manage 30 minutes.

watch your diet-- eat less food.

Cut off your arm.

[Asker]

rude... more like cut off your belly (but that would be weird). I'm serious!

[actricalian]

That's the only way to "loose" weight fast. If there was a healthy way to do it, we'd all be skinny.

You're going to have to put in the time and energy to lose weight. Being lazy and taking the easy way out is how you gained the weight in the first place.

Look, just watch what you eat and exercise about half an hour a day for three days a week. Cut out pop. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Stand up while watching television. You should be able to drop the weight relatively quickly if you just do those things.

Thanks!

You're welcome. I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
