What is the best way to jump start a weight loss?

The Atkins diet does "jump start" weight loss, but keeping it off is another matter.  This diet is not very healthy, and some would say that dieting only makes you fatter.  If you try Atkins, do it for 2 weeks, then adopt a regimen of healthy eating and DAILY exercise.

Losing weight anywhere is a lifestyle.Keep a journal of your food intake.Set a goal and have a plan about how you will achieve it. Make sure it includes lots of veggies and fruits,preferably  real juice. Eat a hearty breakfast,one with a lot of fibre. Exercise either with the help of a physical trainer or on your own.Sit ups,push up,walking etc. will start you if you do not have an exercise machine/gym at home.Since August 2005 I have lost at least 2-4 inches  in my stomach area etc. and I will lose more. I have to walk to the bus stop as the vehicles are not working. My brother,who spends time in the garden, puts on weight but loses it like butter in a skillet.He keeps moving and gets off his butt for most of the day. Sedentary workers need to keep this in mind.Choose to be healthy and work at it daily.

Well there are several ways to go about loosing weight...First you could find a brand of diet soda you enjoy...it took me awhile to find one that I liked but diet Dr. Pepper and diet Root Beer do the trick for me...\nTo loose a pound a week you need to cut out 3500 calories from what you are eating now...that could mean cutting back on portion sizes and eating lower calorie foods...Also I would highly suggest working exercises into a weight loss plan by even just walking a few days a week for 30 min you can improve your chances of loosing weight and this way you would not have to focus just on cutting calories...either way to loose a pound you have to make a 3500 calorie deficit by some combination of diet and exercise. Good Luck!

The best way to lose weight is to first of all become acquainted with the kitchen and get on good terms with it and the food that will be cooked. No matter how much money one earns, how well they exercise, if they don't have food that encourages health, weight loss and tastes damn good then to start would not be a good idea because the yo-yo effect will inevitably occur.\n\nGet a hold of some good recipes, find out your calorie and macro-nutrient requirements each day and start manipulating the recipes to suit. \n\nFood is the biggest and hardest key to weight loss, not exercise. Takes nothing to exercise, takes everything to eat properly.\n\nGood luck\n\nkarl\nsfhsnz@yahoo.com

The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

What I've done is cut out soda and junk food.  I'm also doing an excercise program called Turbo Jam program and I LOVE it!  It's a combination of cardio, kickboxing, and dance plus it's got some modern day music to exercise to.  \nThe hardest part about losing weight is getting started.  Best of luck to you! :)

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

None.\n\nYou need to lower your bodyfat levels.\n\nTo do this you need to burn more calories than you consume.\n\nThis can be achieved through a combination of calorie counting and exercise.

Starving or skipping meals is not recommended as a good way of losing weight. \n\nAdding in exercise to your daily routine will help increase your metabolism. You can do simple things like taking the stairs, parking in the furthest parking space, etc. Or even going for a run or jog.\n\nDecrease your intake of high fats, sodas, high carb (but dont eliminate carbs). Don't stuff yourself when eating..when eating out, the portions you get are usually 2x what you really need. Try eating half of it and taking home the other half. \n\nAlso, eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. High fiber cereal will also help.

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.

There is no healthy way to "lose weight fast" as many diet products claim to do.  No fad diet, pill, or product can do the work for you.  The best way is to follow a sensible, lower-calorie diet and exercise plan.\n\nIt takes 3500 calories lost to lose 1 pound of fat.  If you create a deficit of 500 calories per day, you will lose 1 lb per week.  This can be accomlished through following a meal plan and exercise regimen.  You should do cardiovascular exercise (jogging, dancing, etc.) as well as weight training (free weights, lunges, crunches, etc.) to both burn calories and increase your metabolism.\n\nI use SparkPeople.com as a way to track my food and exercise, and they have great message boards where you can get answers from experts and people with more experience.\n\nIf you sign up for it, my username is lolitaeyes!

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

Eat a BALANCED diet (don't starve yourself, and know that it's alright to occasionally indulge) and excercise regularily (make it fun, go for a walk, take the stairs instead of escalators) are the best ways to lose weight.
