its called a handfull diet , its where u controll your  portions  of food  by measuring  the amount u eat by what u can fit in  your hand , other words  take your hand  and  put it into  um lets say  a bag of grapes ,  what ever  fits in your hand without hanging out u eat what  hangs out u dont ,  another way is eat smaller  serving  portions  of food  and  befor eu eat  drink atleast one  8 oz  glass of water before  meals  this will give u a sence of  fullness ,  dont eat everything  on your plate , avoid fast food fried  food etc ,  do alot of exercise  like walking  jump roping etc , instead  of eating chips as a snake  eat  an apple and  orange a pear ,  if  u get hungry inbetween meals  eat carot  sticks etc , some  pepole will loose inches before thewy loos weight  some  will loose weight before they loose inches  so any diest requiers execise to tone  up  and  firm  up the areas  that  u r loosing weight in , so drink plenty of water eat smaller  portions  of  food  exercise  every day and  u will loose some weight it may not be  the 25  pound u want   but u will loose  a little  here and  there and  u dont want to loose to much at  one time , cause  25  pounds  in 2 months is a lot and  it can send  your  body into shock . so becarefull another  thing u may want to do is  take a  multivitamin cause  when u  loose weight and exercise your  body is also loosing vitamins another thing is eat slowly injoy and taste your food  it takes 20 minutes  for your brain to tell u  that your full and if u eat fast   yes u  feel the fullness  sooner  but then u  feel hungry  sooner

Fast with protein shakes....but the weight will all come back and them some. \n\nLess food+ more exercise is the only way to really lose weight!

The best way to loose weight and keep it off as everybody knows is to eat healthy foods in not too large portions, exercise and drink plenty of water. Also you should make sure you are getting enough sleep.\n\nThis will not be an extremely fast process, though it is the better choice. To loose weight fast I would smoke, not eat and exercise heaps and introduce heaps of stress into my life. You may be dead by the end of two weeks, but at least you will fit into the size 8 dress you always wanted to wear...

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

Exercise and start calorie counting. Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good. If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

I did Weight Watchers and walked on my treadmill for 3 miles per day and I lost 35 pounds in a little over 2 months.  Definitely cut back your caloric intake and start walking or running.

It is not healthy to lose that much weight that fast. You should only lose 1 to 2 pounds a weeks.

Though there are many ways to lose weight quckly but none of them are healthy, There is n such thing as instant weight loss and u shud not go in for that. By controlling the intake of calories and regular exercise you can do this in 30-45 days

Instead of trying to lose 25 pounds in 16 days, why dont you try to work on a diet/exercise routine that you will be able to maintain, and lose weight gradually and keep it off...  You'll be much happier in the long run...\n\nIf you try too hard to lose 25 pounds in 16 days, you may end up in the hospital for your birthday after passing out from starving yourself...

Eat less than you burn. Walk in the morning and evening. Make sure you drink 2 glasses of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only fresh fruits for dinner. Just for 2 weeks avoid fried food, eat whole wheat bread instead of whites. Let me know if this worked.

Slowly re-introduce some foods that you cut out of your diet to loose weight (but don't go overboard!).  Keep exercising.  20lbs in 2 weeks, what a great effort!  Good luck  :)

Well 30 lbs isn't a very healthy amount to lose in one month, but twenty is ok, although it wont be easy. The best HEALTHY way to do it is to do lots of cardio Exercise (like running or aerobics, something that really gets your heart rate up). Also keep your calories low, about 1700-1800 per day, so watch your food labels. Also drink about one gallon of water per day, that was something important that I didn't do but will help. Hope it goes well!

For losing such a large number of pounds there is no asap. This requires a lot of patience (sorry) and change of lifestyle in general. \n\nAlso - you would be more successful if you make your initial target more realistic, like losing 20 pounds, holding them for a few months and then again 20 and so on. \n\nIn general it is really - it less, about 1000- 1200 kcal per day and exercise in a healthy way (increase it slowly if your body is not used to it). \n\nIf you can afford it he best is to do the weight loss under supervision of a doctor or better in a clinic where they also teach you different nutrition. the important thing is that you have to change your whole way to eat and move and all habits associated with that. There is a lot of mental work involved in this change. Like getting used to smaller portions, less "bad" fat and using "good " fats instead. In general eating less and much more veggies and fruit than you did in the past. \n\nOver time you will see the effect and also lose your cravings and your body will adjust to it's new weight. \n\nIf you still think you want to do this asap and this is possible then be careful with how you do this. You need to exercise but start it slowly, you need to eat less but make sure you get all nutrients a body needs. Go at least to weight watcher meetings.

That much weight in that short of time is really not good for you.  Not to mention you will hate soup and exercise and you will gain it all right back again after those two monthes.  \n\nTry this, No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, 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. Lots of water, 4-5 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. \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. Good Luck!
