How to lose weight fast without exercise?

[Slavanna]

OK, so I know what it looks like, but I swear, it's not because I'm lazy (although I am... sometimes). I've had a little accident recently and now I can't do any exercises that go heavy on my feet, i. e. running, jumping, dancing. I can't really lift weights heavier than 10 pounds, either, because of my wrists being really brittle (that also makes pushups pretty difficult for me), and when I say brittle I MEAN it, my bones literally snap under pressure sometimes.

So now that I've had this accident I do walk a little, but far less than usually and I seem to have gained almost 10 pounds over the course of 2 weeks (130 to 137 pounds to be exact). I don't wanna starve myself, but I don't feel comfortable with the extra cushion and want to lose it fast. Any ideas?

I have a product I can recommend which I use myself. I am very active but since I got an office job I began putting on some extra weight. Then I saw a friend of mine whom I've known for 20 years but haven't seen in a long time and I did not recognize him. He was always very big guy 300lbs and when I saw his photo where he was 179 I wanted to know how he managed that. Thats how I found out about a product. I'll be honest I have always been an athlete and I don't believe in easy solutions when it comes to weight loss. So I did my own research and everything I read sounded very good. Natural, high in vitamins, etc. so I decided to try it myself. Initially I wanted to help my mom so I offered it to do it together and both of us have great results.
Its a 30 day detox program that includes 4 days of cleansing (2 weekend) (this will boost your metabolism and your body will begin to burn the fat. If you stick to the program YOU WILL get results. In 30 days I went from 145 to 136, (no exercise at all, I did not want to work out on purpose because I wanted to see what this product can do on its own) after 1 month I stopped the detox but continued to using their products (vitamins, shakes) and now I am 130 and very happy with my weight.

What I love about this program is that it teaches you what food to eat and not to eat, I know that sounds simple but it can be very difficult for some people. It will teach you when to eat and how much water to drink. If you have a lot of weight to lose then I suggest doing it for several months but on average women drop about 15lbs (1-2 months) unless you are really overweight then you will def. get bigger results.

We have a support group on Facebook where people exchange information, recipes, their personal stories, its great support system especially when you are first starting out.

Losing weight consists of 80% diet and only 20% exercise. Without exercise, you won't be toned and you'll probably end up skinny fat, but a good diet will help you lose a very large portion of your fat. I've only tried one diet, it worked for me and it's a modified low carb diet. You can basically eat anything that doesn't have refined sugar, bread, pasta, white rice or potatoes. You can eat anything else in pretty much unlimited quantities. Another diet that I've heard of, but have not tried myself, is the low fat high carb raw vegan diet. It may be too extreme for you to go vegan, so you could just cut out any refined carbs from your diet. This also means no sodas or energy drinks, those are just empty calories.

Like everyone has said, watch what you eat. What you eat has A LOT to do with weight gain, feeling tired, blood pressure, etc. So by eating healthy you kill like 6 birds with one stone. It is not the easiest thing to do, but your body will respond and get used to eating right. For exercise, walking is good, or an elliptical or exercise bike. These are very low impact and will get your blood flowing. Invest in a heart rate monitor watch and do this. Take your age and subtract it from 220. That's your max heart rate (MHR). Take that number and mutliply it by.5 and.6 . Keep your heart rate in this zone while you workout to burn fat. Or do interval training (HIIT) read about it here www.acefitness.org/.../
That's what I've read anyway.

Good luck, and I wish you a fast recovery!

Walk. A lot. Eat healthier foods. Spread your meals throughout the day. Make sure it's just enough and drink water to make your stomach full. Don't over eat. Stop eating junk foods and soda and foods that are basically crap and so on. Or exercise with no weight or anything such as lying down on a mat and doing some sort of crunches or leg lifts or side leg lifts, etc.

Fill your belly up with lots of fruit and veggies. You could also eat some nuts and fish. Lay off the cookies, chips, candy and fast food. Avoid saturated fats. Do some regular ab exercises that revolve around you lying on your back. That way you don't have to strain your feet or your bones.
Also, you should probably eat more calcium to avoid osteoporosis.

Also, don't drink juice, coke and the like. If you have to drink juice, make your own. So much healthier.

Agree with light walking or maybe even stationary cycling? Other than that just watch what you eat. Calories in < calories out so if you just eat around your BMR for the time being, you should be fine. *At this point I would worry more about recovery than losing weight, so maybe just maintain until you're recovered?* Ignore this statement if this is a permanent thing--- in that case just stick with the walking, stationary bike and watch what you eat.

[bubbiexo]

Just wanted to add that calories in vs calories out isn't always a simple thing... The foods you eat are an important factor.

[inquisitiveemt]

Never underestimate walking. U said u do some now work up to a brisk walk for at least 30min if u can. Cut out junk food completely and if u can tolerate it drink only water. Stay away from soda. Including diet soda, it contains sodium which retains water. Don't be too hard on urself, give urself a small reward once or twice over the weekend. If u can lose the 7lbs at least maintain it. by the way 7 lbs is water weight and can be lost easily.

Watch your calorie intake.

I don't know if your body can take it, but swimming is a fantastic exercise that burns calories and is very easy on your joints and muscles. If you're able to, maybe take that up?

[Slavanna]

My body can take it alright, but it's pretty expensive around here and my allowance can't possibly cover the cost (considering the economical conditions where I live, imagine a single entry costing $9... you get the idea; and going swimming once a week doesn't do much, I know from experience). I adore swimming though, and been considering going to the other part of the town where it's cheaper (but it takes about an hour to get there from my school, and then 2 hours back home). Don't know if it's worth the hassle.

weight watchers. exercise is not the first step to losing weight and/or being healthy, its eating right. eating the right things, and not eating too much of them.

[Slavanna]

Weight watchers doesn't really function in my country anymore, and I've heard the consultations are an important part of it all.

Watching what you eat can help along with drinking lots of water. Even if you work out a lot if you eat very unhealthy results won't be as good. Try eating healthy and cut down on eating meat and drink water more than usual, along with walking however much you can

[Theguyoverthere]

Without exercise it's going to be diet. You'll need to track your typical caloric intake and find out what's the smallest amount to cut from it so you're body's taking fat for fuel.

Go vegan. I hate to advocate it for just weight loss, but I lost 25 pounds over about a year, no exercise. It just means you'll likely be eating a lot more fruits, veggies, legumes, and grains, and less of the bad stuff.

Why are your bones so brittle?

I can't give weight loss suggestions without knowing about any health issues.

[523206720]

Go on a low carb diet or eat a 1/4 of an eggplant everyday on top of your regular diet.

[TealTallulah]

Maybe you could walk? Walking is good. Since you can't do any other exercises walk for about a hour.

[repetron]

Cut down on your sugars, and lower your calorie intake to reflect your inactivity.

If you have access to a stationary/fitness bike, that works well for me. I watch shows on my computer or listen to music and the time goes quickly.
