I weigh 200 pounds and I want to get down to 150 by school what should I do to lose the weight before school?

Question:

Answers:
I lost 30lbs in 2 1/2 months. I ate low calorie(subway low calorie), and ran every day. I weighed 210, now I'm 180 and still dropping. If you set your mind to it, you can drop alot, but don't get discourgaed, and don't stop eating, your body needs food. If you eat 5 small small meals a day instead of 3 average meals, you will be able to cut your calories down. Water, but make sure you equal out your sodium to water ratio. Don't quit. Also, sit ups, take a picture of yourself, post it in front of you when you do your situps and you will see yourself and how much you hate the perdicament that you are in. And eat apples b/c they are hard to digest and low in calories. Best of luck!

Try this for a start, the go on to a well balanced diet and regular exercise. This does work.

BASIC FAT BURNING SOUP

6 large green onions 2 green peppers
1 or 2 cans of tomatoes [crushed] 1/2 bunch of celery
1 large head of cabbage 1 pkg. Lipton onion soup
4 cups of water

Season with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. curry, 1 Tbsp. parsley, if desired or bouillon or hot sauce. Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil fast for ten minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat the more you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. If eaten for indefinite periods you would suffer malnutrition.
==============================.

DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks; unsweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.

DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh, raw, or canned vegetables. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinner time on this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Do not eat any fruits.

DAY THREE: Eat all the soup, fruits, and vegetables you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten for three days as above, and have not cheated, you will have lost 5 to 7 pounds.

DAY FOUR: Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can on this day along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but on this particular day your body will need the potassium and
the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.

DAY FIVE: Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water
this day to wash away the acid in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day.

DAY SIX: Beef and veggies. Eat to your heart's content of the beef and vegetables this day. You can even have two or three steaks if you like with the green leafy vegetables, but no baked potato. be sure and eat the soup.

DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables. Again, stuff yourself. Be sure to have the soup at least once today.

At the end of the seventh day, if you have not cheated on the above diet, you will have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming again from day one.

This seven day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being as never before.

After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17 pounds, having an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference.

This diet is fast, fat-burning, and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beveragesat any time because of the removal of fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Because everyone's digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you did not cheat. After
being on this diet for several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need the caffeine after the third day.

DEFINITE NO-NO'S: Fried foods, bread, alcohol, no carbonated drinks, including diet drinks. stick with water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice, and skim milk. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish or baked chicken {skinless} for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef the other day.

The Basic Fat Burning Soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry. Eat as much as you wish. Remember, the more you eat, the more you will lose. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both physically and mentally.

Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet.

you might go down to 170 if you are lucky you can go excersise eight times a week and eat NO food that is white ( refined carbs) and not eating 2-3 hours before your bed time

go on the crack diet or quit eating so many fast food burgers

To keep off the weight and still be healthy is vital. So, you should only eat when your stomach is growling and empty. Pick whatever food you want, and try to select a variety. Eat very slowly, sipping water between each bite and chewing thoroughly. Stop eating the second your stomach feels politely full, never stuffed. Eating this way is healthy, and the weight stays off. It is very practical, since you may eat whatever is available. Every food is ok, just in moderation. Divorce yourself from the love of food. You must not obey food, because that leads to the overweight condition. Drink only noncaloric drinks between meals so you can get hungry. It may take you many, many hours, to get truly very hungry at the beginning. Do not despair; hunger will come! Good luck, and God help you in your goal!
