What's the fastest way to lose weight?

avoid soda. It will slow everything down.

Swimming laps is a good way to trim weight fast.

Remember, muscle weighs more that fat…so if you start lifting weights and running a lot, but the scale doesn’t show you a major loss, don’t freak out.

Drink plenty of water.

Eat foods that help you…well…crap.

I know it sounds gross, but if you aren’t ‘going’, then your body isn’t ‘filtering’ well and that is very important.

AVOID-trend diets.

Good Luck!:s:

going along with what coolidge said,

the foods that will make you crap is the fiber rich foods. fruits, veggies, breads, etc. will make you REGULAR. so get at least 25 grams of fiber a day, and you’ll be nice n regular.

I agree - I tried the Atkins Diet and felt very light headed and dizzy, I need carbs. It’s all about being smart. If you think “this is prolly bad for me” than it probably is :slight_smile:

especially when the guy who invented the atkins diet died from a heart attack. haha

That was great. So is crapping. :smiley:

what can i say, i’m very amusing today.

I would start working out first before I started worrying too much about my caloric intake…if you cut your calories too much and start working out, your body may think it’s in a starving situation, thus clinging to every ounce of body fat it can. So I would say, start working out…then about a month later start cutting back on the amount of calories you eat everyday…nothing drastic, like maybe 10% at first. Then see where you are and make adjustments accordingly.

Also, there are a lot of fat burners out on the market today. I’ve never used any, but I think they get a lot of bad rap they don’t deserve…so what, one or two out of shape people don’t follow the directions on the label and end up dying from taking them. You may want to try something like Hydroxycut or Xenadrine or Stacker 2 (I would prolly stay away from anything with effedra though–I just don’t trust it).

-teet

unless you’re like 200 pounds overweight, i don’t think you should be on fat burner pills.

Do:

Choline and carnitine!

Don’t do:

Ephedra

phew… I just took 40 minutes on a stairmaster… :slight_smile:

I think it was about 1597 steps in total (it has a counter) :stuck_out_tongue:

stairmaster kick my arse. were you dripping with sweat when you got done?

oh yeah!!

My little brother just started taking some kind of fat burner from GNC so it’ll be awhile before he knows if it works.

**elisoe,

just remember: one pound=3,500 calories

so if you want to lose one pound in a week, you need to expend an extra 3,500 calories. or you can expend some of them, and cut some of them out of your food. **

I heard that getting it on burns like 350 calories. So get it on 10 times a week, and you’ll be well on your way. I think this is probably the most preferred way to lose weight.

NO he didnt, he died because he fell on some ice and had a brain hemorage. It was not a Heart Attack - it was a head injury.

well anyways, who gives a ****. it’s still unhealthy, just as all the other fad diets are.

A fad is short lived. This guy pimped his diet for like 20 years.
