how many pounds do you lose if you laugh for 1 minute straight??

Since laughing is also considered an exercise, it does help the mouth and face muscles to firm up a bit if you laugh for 1 minute straight but not as mentioned in your question. I still think vigorous exercisese like running, jogging, skipping and cycling are better in losing weight. By shaking your legs and body while sitting down and running on the spot for 15mins in a stretch daily, are also a good forms of exercise if you have no time to do the ones I just mentioned.

Yeah I was wondering this myself as I watched it this week and one guy lost twenty pounds in one week.  Wtf?!!  I think they make them exercise 4-5 hours a day and starve themselves.  I have heard that a healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week, and if you lose faster than that, you are more likely to gain it back.  These people are losing 5, 10, up to 20 pounds per week. It makes me wonder once the show is over if they will be able to maintain their loss.

If you have a lot of weight to lose it would give you results in a week.\nYou can feel it working the first day. I lost 18 lbs my first month on it.\nBut it's meant to be taken for 6-12 weeks at a stretch.

It takes a calorie defecit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat.  Your body needs 2,000 calories a day (approximately) to maintain your current weight.  So if you scaled back calories, lets say to 1,500 a day, in one week you would lose exactly one pound.  It's not easy, it's not quick, but it is guaranteed to work time and time again.  There are no shortcuts, although excercise will help you to lose weight by burning off additional calories, helping you reach your 3,500 defecit quicker.

Yeah the fastest and easiest and funniest is swimming... I know I know... maybe you don't have the money to do it... But if you live where a YMCA is you can go there anc get finacing I only had to pay 20 dollars a month for myself and my three other family members a month not bad and I lost the weight and it wasn't really work as I love to swim... another way is to walk in your free time... every other half hour or hour.. for 30 mins walk anywhere hills flat land what ever just do it.. sometimes your worse problems will be solved through walking plenty of timet o think.. and the wieght comes off. Drink 8 glass of water each day and then on top of that drink a glass and a half at least before every meal.. it fills you up faster... make your meal portions no bigger then your fist as your stomache is only supose to be as big as your fist.... so limit your protion sizes.. DOn't eat out to much once a week is fine to treat yourself stay away from the chocolate once a week is fine give yourself a treat for your work.. Don't deprive yourself when your hungry find a heathly snack canned fruit is good.. if you want to lose the weight fast and keep it off then do as I say and you will lose.. I weighed 199 lbs at 14 years old I lost 100 lbs in two months walking every other half hour drinking plenty of water before and after meals and 8 glass of water a day beyond that... I looked felt and sounded great. good luck to you .. I am now also on this diet trick again myself.. and fighting to lose my baby fat from my two girls I had I am 31 now.. and at 138 lbs... I have never gotten back up to the 199 lbs and don't plan to either but I would defently like to lose 30 lbs.... to get to my actual love weight lol. 110 is my goal.. wish you lived near by I would walk with you and we could keep each other company and going .. I ll pray for you and I hope you do the same for me.

Losing weight help\n\nlose weight fastWe get weight by eating extra calories and incorrect amount of macronutrients. There are two ways by which we can lose weight.\n\n\n    * Eating less\n\n    * Exercising more\n\n\nYou know\n1 gram of protein = 4 calories\n1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories\n1 gram of fat = 9 calories\n1 pound of fat = 454 gram\nSo 1 pound of fat = 9*454 = 4086 calories\n\nNote: Our body fat contains around 3500 calories, as 10% of it is water.\nSo in order to lose a pound of fat (4086) in 2 weeks, we need to decrease calories consumption by 290 per day as 4096/14=290(approx)\n\n15 minute of good exercise will help you in losing around 100 calories. So in order to lose 1 pound of fat in two weeks, we need to exercise for around 45 minutes (290 calories) if we do not want to make any changing in our eating habit. So just take care of the amount of calories in the food you take. The best idea for losing weight will be by cutting down the junk food with exercising. So greatest way to lose weight is a mixture of diet and exercise as exercise builds muscles, and bigger muscles burn more fat.

Depends on your age, gender and personal and family health history.  Cut back at least 500 calories a day from what you are eating now and add some exercise.  One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so in 7 days, you'll lose 1 lb, just by eating less.  If you add exercise on top of that, you should be able to lose up to 3 lbs or so a week.

My coworker is also a personal trainer, and he says 3500 calories is equal to one pound of fat. So if you burn 3500 more calories than you take in, you'll lose a pound. This isn't perfect however, because you don't just lose fat when you exercise -- you lose water, and sometimes gain or lose muscle.

You definitely don't want to do it fast.  1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended by a doctor.  If you lose more than that, you are prone to problems, and also, what many people don't know is that, if you lose weight too quickly, it actually ages you.  I know a guy who dropped like 30 pounds in a month, and he looks terrible.  He aged like 20 years.  Do it the right way.  You'll feel better too.

To lose 1lb in weight you have to use up around 3500 calories...so about 8 hours might do it  :D

Cut back on carbs and you can lose tons of weight in 14 days.  I lost 20 pounds.  No joke.

Registered Nurse here;  That would be 11 lbs.  Don't know of a healthy way to lose weight that quickly, it's half a pound per day.  Careful dear, don't set unrealistic and unhealthy goals.  Much better to achieve goals in moderation.  Not preaching, but remember your body needs to last you a long time, so don't put unrealistic goals on your body.\nThanks for the opportunity to address this question.

It really depends on your diet. I'd say it would be healthy for it to take about 8-10 months. But you could do it in less. My dad lost 60 lbs in 3 months once. So maybe you could do it in about 4, though I don't suggest it..

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator (http://www.straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html). This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (bur more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both. For more information on diet, weight loss and exercise, visit http://straighthealth.com

I have to disagree with the previous posts.\nIn 1/2 an hour, you'll burn around 300 + calories because an increase in temperature (112 - 116 degrees) over your normal body temp causes fat cells to liquify and excrete out with your sweat.  Your body burns calories just trying to keep your normal body temp!

Yup. Your body hold onto about 5-8 lbs. worth of digested food in your intestine. If you were to stop eating it would take about 2-3 days to empty it out, hence losing about 5-8 pounds. But of course, next meal it will creep back.
