is it possible to shed fats without cutting your calorie intake?

I think one of the reasons of losing weight or fats is to lower calorie intake so aside from exercising, you need to go on a diet too.

Weight loss CANNOT BE TARGETED.\n\nHowever, muscle gain can.  Know that your body will "eat" fatty deposits as you take away callories.  3500 calories equals a pound.  If you can cut 500 cals a day from your diet, you will lose 1 pound a week.\n\nAdd in 500 cals of exercise a day, and you can lose another 1 pound a week.  Two pounds a week is a healthy target.

Walking and drinking lots of water are probably the best and easiest ways. And try your best not to eat after 6pm. If you go to bed with calories on you then you have no way to work it off and it turns to fat.

Not necessarily.  Nor is it necessary to go totally vegitarian - i.e. vegan - in order to lose weight.  You don't have to cut out milk and cheese entirely, either.  There are cheeses with a very low level of lactose and there is lactose-free milk.  However, eliminating those, too, is perfectly okay if you wish to do that. \n\nYou'd probably do yourself a great deal of good by cutting way, way down on the amount of red meat you eat.  At least five servings of fruits and veggies a day is recommended by us health professionals, and if you want to cut back on the meat in favor of more veggies and fruit, that's probably okay too.  Just don't forget that its total calories that count in weight loss, not the source of the calories.  Yes, what I'm saying is, you can get fat on a vegitarian diet!  \n\nYour best bet is to talk to your doctor and get a referral to a registered dietician who can help you plan healthy meals that will help you in a weight loss effort.  And get a referral to a physical therapist too, who can help you with the other essential to weight loss - a good exercise program.  \n\nHey - it's good that you care enough about yourself to want to achieve a healthy weight.  Be patient and stick with it.  \nGood luck.

If you're trying to cut back on fat, here are a few easy ways to trim it from your diet.\n\n"Hold the Mayo!"\nAccording to Corinne T. Netzer's The Complete Book of Food Counts, one tablespoon of Hellman's mayo packs in 100 calories and 11 grams of fat!\n\nReduced-fat varieties of mayo have become more palatable over the years. My favorite is Kraft Light.\n\nOther alternatives include fat-free condiments like: salsa, chutney, pickle relish, mustard, or horseradish.\n\nDolma is a "Do"\nHow about trying a new ethnic food to keep things interesting? Middle eastern restaurants offer many healthful entrees, such as: baba ghanouj, rice pilaf, dolma, lentil soup, and kufta.\n\nBetter than Butter\nTop toast with a tablespoon of regular butter and you've already downed an extra 11 grams of fat before your day even starts! Switch to reduced-fat margarine, yogurt-based spreads, or fruit butters (like apple butter).\n\nMake Nice with the Bread Basket\nWatching your carb-intake? Steer clear of it.\n\nBut if fat's your foe, munching a bread stick or a roll before your meal can help your weight loss efforts by curbing your hunger and possibly preventing over-eating\n\n"People just Love Saying Salsa!"\n"Seinfeld" told us the real reason people adore salsa, but it isn't the only reason to love it! Salsa is naturally fat-free.\n\nIt tops lots of foods deliciously in lieu of higher-fat condiments: baked potatoes; grilled chicken; salads; snack crackers; and of course, chips.\n\nTreat yourself to freshly-made salsa by mixing together diced tomatoes, green onions and chilies, and cilantro.\n\nNot a "Loser's" Lunch\nA slice of traditional bologna has about 11 grams of fat. Try reduced-fat varieties of lunch meats like Healthy Choice brand or fat-free Oscar Mayer bologna. Chicken and turkey are naturally lean and better for you.\n\nProcessed luncheon meats can contain as much as 80 percent of calories from fat.\nhttp://weightloss.about.com/cs/eatsmart/a/aa042603a_2.htm\n\nHOME REMEDIES FOR LOSING WEIGHT\n\n \nFruits and green vegetables are low calorie foods, so over weight persons should use these more frequently. \n \n \nOne should avoid intake of too much salt. Salt may be a factor for increasing the body weight.\n\n\n\nMilk products like cheese, butter should be avoided because these are rich in fat. Meat and non-vegetarian foods should also be avoided.\n\n\n\nSpices like dry ginger, cinnamon, black pepper etc. are good for loosing weight and can be used in a number of ways.\n\n\n\nRice and potato which contain a lot of carbohydrates should be avoided among cereals wheat is good.\n\n \n\nVegetables like bitter gourd (Karela), and bitter variety of drumstick are useful for loosing weight.\n\n\n\nTaking of honey is an excellent home remedy for obesity. It mobilizes the extra deposited fat in the body and puts it into circulation, which is utilized as energy for normal functions. One should start with small quantity of about 10 GMs. or a tablespoonful to be taken with hot water. It is good to take it in early morning. A teaspoonful of fresh lemon juice may also be added.\n\n\n\nFasting on honey and lime juice is highly beneficial in the treatment of obesity without the loss of energy and appetite. In this mode of treatment, one teaspoonful of fresh honey should be mixed with a juice of half a lime in a glass of lukewarm water. It can be taken several times in a day at regular intervals.\n\n \n\n\nCabbage is considered to be an effective remedy for loosing weight. This vegetable inhibits the conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction. It can be taken raw or cooked. \n \nExercise is an important part of weight reduction plan. It helps to use up calories stored in body as fat. In addition, it also relieves tension and tones up the muscles of the body. Walking is the best exercise to begin with and may be followed by r

That is like asking, how to do well in school, without studying! But there is a way to loose some weight, without doing the work, and with out starving yourself.  \nOK your body's temperature rises when its digesting food, and it burns some fat in doing so. The theory is that if you eat several "small" meals a day, instead of 3 large ones, your body will be at a higher temp, for longer, and burn more fat.\n   Also a more mental approach, is positive thinking. Like every time you either walk to work, or go up the stairs. Just tell yourself that your burning fat. Just think thin and your body will react!\nAlso becareful of what you eat, be sensible, but not crazy strict. If you enjoy a diet, it will work better for you.

No.\n\nYou need to have some balance in your diet of fruits and vegetables, meats and fish, and fats.\n\nAnd also count calories.\n\nGood Luck!

I went on a low calorie diet and lost weight pretty quickly. I am 5'4'' and went on a 1000 calorie a day diet. You're not supposed to go below 1200 calories, but I ate enough, just low calorie stuff. The calories, not the fat content, are what's important when trying to lose weight. It gets easier to eat less, too, once you get used to it and your stomach shrinks a little bit. I'm down to 118 from 125. It worked.

You can't reduce fat from a specific part of the body without having liposuction done. You have to reduce your fat level in general, which means a healthier diet and increased exercise.\n\nThere's no magic exercise that lets you lose fat from just one area of your body. Or no magic diet that works without you having to put effort into it. If you want to lose weight, you have to work at it.

curb fats n sugar intake ....exercise does'nt make that much difference...yeah thats right...my food & nutrition teacher told me that if you daily walk for half an hour for a year it will burn the same amount of calories that you get from mere 18 grams of oil.\nSo the idea is to control your intake. Exercise keeps u determined on diet but does not burn great deal of calories.\nnot more than 3 lbs per week weight loss is advisable et all. go steady nd u get it.

The 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\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 for more detailed suggestions.\n\nAloha

Sure. That is easy.  I cut out all sugar, white flour, anything with corn syrup,  and ALL processed foods!  I lost 30 lbs. eating this way without exercise.  Taking care of kids all day, and cleaning house is exhausting enough! If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it.  This will force you to eat VERY healthy, and the weight will fly off! You don't have to count calories.  Just eat when you are hungry.  Increase your dairy intake (studies have shown that it helps burn fat).  Important tip:  Shop only on the OUTER rim of the supermarket!  Switch to organic foods whenever possible.  This will help your body get rid of toxins.  You'll look better, feel healthier, AND lose weight!

It's even more stupid to say any food is all fat. Even Mc Donald's. 1,200 calories are 1,200 calories no matter what you eat. You will lose less weight over a longer period of time if those calories are from saturated fat, salty foods or things that slow your metabolism, so yes, total energy consumed is 1,200 calories, but how you burn them off will vary.\n\nTry to cut out all sodium and take in 40g or dietary fiber a day. That will get the fluid out of your fat cells and out of your system and kick your metabolism up a few notches and you'll fee a lot better. Also all that roughage will make you feel full.

I think you should loose it without a problem. Sounds like you're going about it the right, healthy way. I don't think you should cut anymore calories out. I heard that if your body only receives, for example, 1500 cals a day, That your metabolism will actually slow down so that your body can make those 1500 cals last. I'm not adoc or a fitness nut, but I did take a bodybuilding class college and my teacher stressed the importance of maintaining a good diet in order to achieve optimal results. Because you are exercising 5 days a week, your body will need a good, healthy 2000 cal a day diet to have the energy necessary to continue your workout regime. Good luck!

No.  If you want to lose fat, you have to consume less calories than you expend.  That's a combination of eating and activity.  If you move your body more, then you can increase the rate of loss, but eating regularly and exercising regularly is the best way to go.\n\nAnyone who tells you that you can eat whatever/however much you want to eat and lose weight by (a) eating certain things, (b) taking certain supplements or (c) reading a book, etc. etc. is just selling something.
