Everybody is trying new dieting programs to try and lose weight fast, but very few people are actually able to accomplish their weight loss goals -- since most dieters fail in reaching their weight loss goals.  \n\nIf you want to learn how to lose weight fast then you need to understand that only a proper dieting plan (such as the one mentioned below) can accomplish this task for you, because a good fat burning diet is the answer to fast weight loss .\n\nYou cannot lose fat fast using starvation dieting plans since those types of diets do not allow the body to lose fat , those types of diets only allow you to lose water weight and that's all.  If you want to burn real fat then starvation diets are definitely not the answer.  Instead of using starvation diets, you should follow the fat burning diet mentioned below since it will show you how to lose weigh fast while maintaining your good health at the same time.\n\nJust remember that everybody wants to lose fat fast and many diets promise "fast weight loss " but most of them fail to deliver on this promise so beware.   If you truly want to lose fat fast then only a good fat burning diet will work for you.

The fastest diet is fruits, veggies, and lean meats.  Cut down on pasta, bread and sugar, and you will lose weight and keep it off.  Drink lots of water too.

Don't lose too quickly you'll put it all back on.  Also you risk damaging your heart (which is a muscle) because your body might be forced to burn muscle as well as fat if you eat too little. \n\nAim to lose 1-2lbs a week (it will be more to start with) by cutting out fatty and sugary snacks, alcohol and sugary drinks.  Eat three sensible low fat meals a day, and drink plenty of water.  If you are hungry between meals have a glass of water or herbal/fruit tea to fill your stomach and give you the sensation of feeeling full.\n\nDo a bit of exercise to boost your metabolism, burn some fat and build muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat but burns calories quicker, so you can eat more and put on less!

increase your self esteem... or\ndehydrate yourself and go to the bathroom a lot.\n\nyou said easiest.\n\nThe best way to lose weight is simply to elevate your heart rate at least 30 minutes a day. You dont even have to exercise for a long time. You dont have to job, jump, or do stairs. Just do anything that raises your heart rate pretty high for a few minutes, and your heart will continue to pump fast and burn calories. Instead of eating a few big meals a day, eat many small meals.\nMake realistic goals like 5 pounds a month and stick to a routine. Have confidence in yourself and dont obsess by looking in the mirror everyday. It will happen, just have patience :)\nI made a site to check BMI and calories burned per day. It's not all that great but I spent a lot of time adding quality links to the further links section.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is super helpful. It seems weird but it does! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet. \nIt's best to have 5 meals a day that way you need get to hungry because that leads to over eating. \n\nHere is a couple ideas to help you get started:\n\nBreakfast: \nOatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit. \nLunch:\n1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious. \nDinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes: 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.\nDessert:\nLight Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:\n3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup. \nSnacks:\nSteamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein), \nmy personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)\nAlso there are alot of great ideas if you go to fast food for example.... \nWendys: Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich- 390 calories\n\nMcDonalds:\nCaesar Salad grilled Chicken-220 calories\nBacon Ranch Salad w/grilled chicken 260 calories\nSalad Dressing: Vinaigrette: 40 calories\nSalad Dressing: Italian : 60 calories\nFruit and yogurt Parfait: 160 calories\nChicken McNuggets: (4) 170 cal. (6) 250 cal. (10) 420 cal.\n(if you have sauce stay away from Ranch)\n\nKFC:\nOriginal Recipe Chicken Sandwich: (no sauce) 320 calories\nHoney BBQ Sandwich: 300 calories\nSnacker: 320 calories\nHoney BBQ Snacker: 220 calories\nSmall Mac and Cheese: 180 calories\nSmall Potato Salad: 180 calories\nSmall Potatoes and Gravy: 130 calories\nRoasted BLT salad: 210 calories\nTenderRoast Filet Meal: 360 calories\nLil Bucket Strawberry ShortCake: 200 calories\n\nBurger King:\nChicken Whopper no mayo: 410 calories\n\nJack N The Box:\nSouthwest Chicken Pita:230 calories\nChicken Fajita Pita: 300 calories\nBeef Taco: 160 calories\nChipotle Chicken Sandwich: 390 calories\nBacon Chicken Sandwich: 440 calories\n\nCarls Jr:\nCharbroiled Chicken Sandwich: 370 calories\n\nTaco Bell:\nNacho Chicken Gordita: 270 calories\nNacho Steak Gordita: 270 calories\nTaco: 170 calories\n\nSubway :(THE BEST CHOICE)\nYou can have any of the under 6 grams of fat sandwiches! They're delicious just No MAyo. My favorite is Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like to get a foot long and have a 6' for lunch and a 6' for dinner.\n\nAlso make sure you do 30 minutes of excercise 5 days a week. I like to walk to the store and back instead of drive =)\n\nThis was just some ideas to help you on your way. \n\nAlso its great to drink one glass of water before eating. Water is very important!

Don't bother with fasting or starving yourself. Not only will this make you feel miserable, but it will actually hamper your weight loss by lowering your metabolism (your body's natural ability to burn calories). If you want to lose weight, here are some tips:\n\n1) Exercise! It's really a wonder-drug. You'll burn calories, build muscle (which helps your body burn more calories on its own), and you will feel less hungry. If you don't have much time, you don't have to do a lot. Any little bit helps. Pick up a jumprope for a few minutes a day. Do some situps and pushups a couple times a day. Don't worry if you can't go to the gym for an hour every day - you can still exercise.\n\n2) Eat healthy fats and proteins and lots of fruits and vegetables. Skip the refined sugars. Instead of popcorn, have an apple. Go for foods high in nutrition - not high in sugar and starch. Mushrooms and carrots are a great start, but what is even more important is a balanced diet.\n\n3) Eat frequently! Sometimes eating more is really one of the best ways to lose weight. No, not necessarily more food, but more often. Your metabolism will be higher when you eat six small meals or snacks as opposed to three larger meals. If you don't want to go overboard cooking, try putting half of each meal in a tupperware container for later. Eat your 2nd meals for snacks. Even if you eat exactly the same amount of food, you'll lose weight if you split it up into smaller portions. Plus, you'll be less hungry throughout the day.\n\n4) Drink lots of water! Most people don't drink enough water and drink a lot of sodas, juices, and other sugary beverages. Skip anything with sugar in it (milk is still good) and drink only water. Soda is a HUGE source of (unnoticed) calories. Forget the diet soda too - it is full of bad stuff. In fact, if you currently drink a lot of it, you'll probably be amazed how good you'll feel if you quit. It's very common to be constantly dehydrated because you quench your thirst with soda (which doesn't actually hydrate your body).\n\nGood luck! And be healthy. :)

Check with your doctor before starting anything new.  But the best way to lose weight quickly is a good diet and exercise program.  If you're exercising already, then you could try and modify you workout plan.  Some need to just increase weight/strength training, some need to increase the number of days, and some need to increase their cardio training.  Without knowing what you do now, it's hard to give a suggestion.\n\nAlso, make sure you're eating healthy.  Avoid diets that eliminate or restrict certain food groups.  When you start eating them again, you gain the weight back and then some.   Drink 8 -10 8oz glasses of water a day!  Your doctor could recommend a health diet.    \n\nAlso, becareful of diet suppliements.  Some help you lose weight quickly, but when you stop taking them, your metabolism decreases and the weight can come back if you aren't doing other things to maintain the increased metabolism the supplement created.

A good meal plan to follow and lose weight quickly is the following:\n\n1) Drink 8 glasses of water/ day. Preferably 2 glasses before meals and the rest in between...or whatever works for you.\n\n2) Eat daily three portions of protein. I myself prefer to eat vegetarian protein rather than animal based protein. \n\nFor breakfast eat:\n2 eggs or 1 cup cottage cheese\n2 slices of whole wheat toast\n1 fruit\n2 glasses of water\nsome kind of fat--if you are not allergic to nuts, eat 8 almonds.\n\nSnack\nYou can eat a fruit or a cup of low fat yogurt\n\nLunch\nEat a salad with 1 cup of cucumbers, 1 cup of lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes or whatever vegetable all 1 cup, except for carrots--only 1/4 cup.\n4 slices of vegetarian bologna or a chicken breast\n2 slices of whole wheat bread\nno juice--you may drink iced tea with lemon.\n\n2nd Snack\nanother fruit\n(when snacking stay away from chips, chocolates--if you feel the need to eat something chocolaty, eat a cup of chocolate pudding (Huntz or Jello) if you want chips buy Quaker products, like rice cakes or rice tortilla chips. They are low fat, but very tasty!!!)\n\nDinner\nIncorporate whatever you like, but remember that your plate must be divided into 30% protein, 30% fat and 40%carbohydrates. A typical dinner would be 1 chicken breast, salad and 1/4 cup brown rice.\nIced tea.\n\nSnack 3\n1 cup of popcorn or a glass of milk.\n\nFollow this plan for a week and you'll see the difference =)\nBest regards.

That's way too much weight to lose in such a short time. Give yourself 12-14 weeks (minimum). Eat a healthy diet and exercise. The problem with trying to lose too much weight too fast is that you will end up losing lean body mass (muscle). Your muscle tissue is what keeps your metabolism up, so by going on a crash diet and losing it, you end up making yourself fatter in the long run. Stay healthy!

Losing weight fast is not healthy or sensible so losing it super fast is even worse.  If you lose it too fast, the odds are very high that you will gain it all back plus MORE!  So, lose it the sensible way...at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds a week.\n\nIf you contact me with your email address, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem (unfortunately, yahoo answer's email system doesn't have enough  "characters" to allow me to send the diet through them).  You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.

There really isn't a "fast" way to lose weight permanently.  The faster weight is lost, the more likely it is that the person has restricted their diet to a level that is not realistic for them to maintain, so once they get off the diet and lose weight, they'll probably go right back to their old eating ways and gain all the weight and maybe even more back.\n\nIf you have an event to go to, or you want to be smaller for a small amount of days, it is possible to quickly lose water weight as long as you have the realization that it is not going to be permanent by any stretch.  For this, you'll cut out all salt or salty foods and up your water intake.\n\nThe BEST way to lose weight and keep it off is to change your lifestyle.  There is no way for someone to restrict their diet, get thin, then go back to eating what they want and still remain thin.  Losing weight must be a lifestyle change.  Simply put, if you want to change your figure, you have to be determined to eat less junk food, more good food, and exercise more than you are currectly and maintain doing that for your entire life.\n\nWhatever your choice, do not by any circumstances eat fewer than 1200 calories per day for any length of time.  When you don't eat enough, your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto all the fat on your body and losing weight is going to be very difficult and slow-going.

I would suggest the Medifast Diet from take Shape fro Life. It is healthy and really easy to do. I lost 25 lbs. from it so far. It teaches you to eat 5-6 meals a day every 2-3 hours and you will lose weight quickly and healthy. I hope this helps.

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.
