Answers:
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

dont eat at all
Avoid white bread, regular pasta and switch to whole grain. Weight watchers makes a whole wheat that is 90 calories for 2 slices.
run. cardio. run
Ride a bike for 30 minutes a day. Reduce all fats and carbs. Read the labels on the foods you eat.
Riding the bike will burn fat evenly throughout your body, so you will be in great shape for the honeymoon too.
I have a friend who got the weight watchers books....but didnt buy their food and all that crap---and she went by the points system they give you....eating food you can buy in any grocery store....ans she lost tons of weight...if i had to guess i'd say 40 pounds in a matter of 3 months....and she exercised, but not that regularly.
The Sacred Heart Diet - I dont care how many people say it doesnt work, I did it, and it did work. I lost 11 pounds the first week and 7 the second ( i cheated a little)

Check out my best answers second to last. Good luck
actually NOT eating is NOT a good idea, eating in moderation is key to weight loss, if u stop eating completely then ur body will start feeding off of your stomach acid which will cause u to actually gain inches on your waist, I cannot stress this enough
Get involved with a cardio program, look around at your local colleges and gyms EVERY place has a cardio program, this not only will make u lose pounds but it is also good for your heart, trust me if you do 3 months of cardio it will make a BIG difference as far as weight loss is concerned
As far as the inches around your waist that can be done by doing high-rep crunches, that means you must do VERY fast crunches, fast crunches burn fat, slow crunches build muscle mass
well i hope ive helped some and congrats on the wedding and good luck
I know if you don't drink soda or fruit juices you lose the least of 8lbs., other than that cut out the junk food, soda, drink lot's of water and exercise!!
if you want to lose pounds really fast,
cut 250 calories from your regular calorie intake,
and burn 250 calories each day for one week.
you'll end up losing one pound...also, if you want to lose more pounds in one week, burn more than 250 calories....
An Extra Tip: avoid foods that are white or clear....for example, instead of eating a regular potato, eat a sweet potato...non-colored/white foods have bad carbs....colored foods have GOOD carbs.....so....if you follow this, you'll have a great wedding with a great dress....Good Luck
yeh you should be able to do this. this is a fast weight loss program that i did myself and worked a treat. i also included swimming and walking nearly everyday.
well when i went into the marines i weighed 190 the first month and after the first month i weighed 160 and after boot camp was over i weighed in at 125 how they do it is run 1mile the first 3days and gradually go to .5miles every week by the third week we were running 3miles then for breakfast eat white rice and egg whites for lunch white rice and skinless chicken and the same for dinner do site-ups and hello Dolly's and through out the day and jumping jacks make sure you drink a lot of water it helps you keep hydrated and keeps you from being hungry you should see results if you stick with it and don't miss a run just run every day Mon through sat and keep up with site ups and jumping jacks and hello dolly's
Try to eat foods that are high in fiber. Fiber is beneficial in that it A) makes you feel full quicker , which will help you eat less at meals, and;
B) fiber will help the foods you do eat pass through your digestive track faster so your body will actually absorb fewer of the calories you take in.
As far as exercise goes, you need to find out what your target heart rate is and push yourself to reach and maintain that heart rate. After about 20 min your body will start to burn fat as fuel.
You will have to be dedicated since 30 pounds in 3 mos. is about the limit you can safely lose. Good Luck!
1000 calories a day and at least six miles of walking per day .....i tryed it, it was hard but it worked...... also a good idea to do 3 times a week in the gym to tone up.....this will take off the inches as well......its tough but if you look into it celebs who have put on weight for whatever reason have to work very hard to regain their physic's. Good luck and congrats on the wedding!!!!
Cut out all pastas and potatoes right away, back off on your breads, soda, junk food, refined sugar. Start drinking tons of water. do cardio at least 3-4 times a week. Make sure you are eating regularly. Chicken breast (NOT FRIED), steamed rice and steamed vegetables
Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 10.5 pounds and 17 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing toxins from your body. You get toxins from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The toxins get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the toxins. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
