What's the quickest way to lose wieght in six months and be healthy and have energy?
Question:
Answers:
If you want to do this for life you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.
Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1.5 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g lean meat & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white omlette with ham and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)
Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.
Cardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.
To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.
Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

contact me if you want. i'm trying to design personalized(free) workout programs.
change your eating habits to include whole grains, more vegetables and fruits. and combine cardio with weight training and in 6 months you could see up to a 50lb weight loss(depending how well you stick to it and how much you have to lose, etc)
Eat less, if you still don't loose weight, eat still less .There will be a point where you can be whatever weight you care to be. Exercise is great for toning up the muscles but weight is controled by how much you put into your stomach.
Diet, Exercise and WATER!! Lots of water!
change what you eat to healthier solutions you can treat your self at least twice or once a week no more and try eating 1200 calories a day keep a journal of what you eat so you know what you had and you will lose 1-2 pounds a week and by the end of the month you will have at least lost 5-6 pounds.. and they won't come back as easy .. helps give you energy
I disagree with the guy who said it's all about what you put in your stomach. Your body can adjust to a tiny, tiny amount of food. My personal experience (and my nutrition training) tell me that you can never have lasting weight loss just on dieting alone. You HAVE to have some activity.
If you were my client, I'd tell you to get into a good walking plan. (You can move to running later, if you feel like it.)
And I'd suggest that you keep a food diary. (Do you know how hard it is to eat a Snickers if you know you're going to have to write it down in a journal??) A food diary will let you spot patterns of eating--like eating in front of TV--and also let you see if you're getting a balanced diet.
Good Luck!
Get a training partner and start a normal work out routine. Set reasonable goals. Don't expect quick changes but look to the long term goals. Get a trainer.
By getting a training partner it will help you because you always preform better when others are watching. Plus when you don't feel that you really want to do a workout having a partner will help guilt you into it and vice verse.
Try a normal cardio and strength routine. While some of these workout fads are great they can be a little over the top. Don't dismiss them however. They can be done to help change up a routine or spice it up if your normal workout gets boring.
Goals are the key to all workouts. They need to be reasonable. If you set a goal that is to large in the amount of time you have set then you can end up feeling defeated when you don't reach said goal or if you have a set back. This can lead to not trying to get in shape again for a long time. Example,if you say that you want to lose 100 pounds in six month I would be concerned. It is not that it can't be done just it is tough to be done safely and with lasting results. Now if you said that you want to lose 100 pounds by meeting a 20 pound goal every 3 to 4 months I would say that it a great goal. Difference is that your goal is for 100 pounds total with out an actual time to lose it by. If you go for 20 pounds every 3 to 4 months it is roughly a little over a year to lose the weight. Also this allows for those moments(every one has them) that your weight goes up due to muscle mass increase. It also allows for those birthday cake moments.
Eating healthy doesn't mean cutting out what you like and eating grass. Eat food in moderation. That way you don't get cravings. Talk to a Dietary Specialist. They can help you find out what food and in what amounts will best help you achieve a healthy life style. They can also tell you what food are not a benefit to you and why.
Getting a trainer is great because that helps take the brain work out for you. They can structure a program for you. All you have to do is follow and report. That way is part of the program doesn't work they can adjust it until it does. Just make sure to be assertive and ask a lot of questions and explain your goals.That way there is no mistake in understanding what you want to achieve.
To many people want to blame their partners or trainers for the lack of results. It really comes down to how bad you want it. Programs rarely fail because the trainer didn't do things right. It generally happens because the client didn't explain their goals and wishes well enough and they clients lacked the follow through as well as got discouraged because the results didn't happen over night. To change ones body (with healthy lasting results) takes a long time.

Enjoy the new you!
Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.
Food-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.
High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.
High-fiber, low-calorie diets: As I've noted in many previous blog entries, fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.
Liquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long‑term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.
Fasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.
No fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start:
Eat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients.
Get some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.
Include sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.
Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more than 30 percent of your total calories as fat calories, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat calories.
Choose foods moderate in sugars. Foods that are high in simple sugars usually offer little nutritional value and will add unwanted calories.
Choose foods moderate in salt and sodium. Remember that salt has been added to many foods during preparation or processing, so it's not necessary to add extra salt at the table.

There is this great stuff called Eveliza (or spelled something like that) and you eat pretty much just fruit, but you mix the powder into some juice, and in a couple of weeks you lose weight. someone I know did this, and she lost about 16 lbs. in one week. IT IS A VERY STRICT DIET. NO SUGAR, NO CAFFEINE, NO SODA, JUST FRUIT. WARNING: EVILIZA IS DRIED & GROUND UP SEAWEED, IT MAY NEED SOME GETTING USED TO. ADD A TON OF JUICE AND VERY LITTLE EVELIZAA ON THE FIRST TIME. YOU HAVE TO DRINK THIS SOLUTION 3 TIMES A DAY.

Eat right and excerise, Me I like the epptical machine instead of the treadmill, I put on my music and I can do that for a hour or more, also I like the rower, and I do some weights. You have to find out what you like. but still eat right.
I can write a diet book in 4 words.
eat less, move more.
It's really that simple. Watch your portion sizes, though. That gets folks in trouble more than anything. For example, I would always eat this big-*** bowl of cereal for breakfast, until I actually measured how much I was eating one day. Turns out my normal bowl of cereal was like 3 times as much as what the box said was a normal serving size.
I cut out sweets, reduced my portion sizes, and walked 30 minutes a day. Lost 63 pounds in a year.
