The Papaya Diet: A Guaranteed Loser\n\nSearch Yahoo for "papaya" and "kirstie" and you'll find at least a hundred sites that claim papaya is single-handedly responsible for melting literally dozens of pounds off the body of a popular actress.\n\nI can recall, from my own quality-time spent in line at the grocery store, virtually every food known to man being touted as the key ingredient in a new "miracle diet." Grapefruit, broccoli, cabbage and even chocolate have been "scientifically proven" by a panel of seven-year-olds to "literally melt away the pounds" before your very eyes.\n\nBut what about the papaya? Is it the key ingredient, the silver bullet, the big kahuna and the magic potion all wrapped up in a low fat, gluten-free tortilla?\n\nSearching the web for "papaya" and "diet" turns up some interesting results. Clicking from site to site one finds nearly identical copy on each site, as though there is one main "mother lode" of papaya information from which all papaya data flows.\n\nA cursory scan of the available data shows that papaya is a great food that offers a good amount of benefit in a relatively small package. There are two varieties of papaya, one typically comes from Mexico and the other from Hawaii. The Mexican variety can grow to be rather large and the taste is more subtle than it's Hawaiian cousin, but otherwise they are very similar and available year-around at most grocery stores or produce shops.\n\nPapaya are high in Vitamin C, a good source of fiber, and probably best known for the enzyme papain, which is used commercially as a meat tenderizer. The more educational sites report that the enzyme (papain) helps the body to break down protein, which explains its use as a meat tenderizer.\n\nAs you move from the academic to the commercial sites, papain seems to evolve into "Super Enzyme" capable of not only breaking down protein, but also increasing your metabolism, digesting fats, assimilating carbohydrates, and even repainting your house while you sleep. Now that's SUPER!\n\nDon't get me wrong, I've got nothing against the papaya. In fact, I've been told I resemble one. It's just that if there were a "magic potion" that solved all of our health problems then there wouldn't be any overweight people and I wouldn't be writing this.\n\nWith that said, I have come up with a diet that is guaranteed to help ANYONE lose weight, and I'm calling my new diet "The Papaya Diet." Remember, when you read about this one as you wait your turn in line at the grocery store, you heard it from me first.\n\nFollow the simple steps below and the pounds will begin to (slowly) melt away.\n\nStep 1: Go to the grocery store and buy a nice papaya, about one pound in weight. Make sure that the papaya is not too ripe. When traveling to the store, it is preferable that you walk, as you'll burn calories and fire up your metabolism. If not possible, park far from the store and walk across the parking lot.\n\nStep 2: Bring your papaya home and keep it with you at all times. The key to this fantastic diet is keeping the papaya healthy and happy. Be sure your papaya gets plenty of sleep. Seven and a half hours each day is recommended. Keep your papaya hydrated. It should drink a gallon of water each day. Since your papaya doesn't have a mouth, you'll need to drink the water yourself. You'll also have to eat for the papaya. When eating your papaya's meals, keep your portions small and choose only healthy foods with a good mix of fruits and vegetables. It's okay, the papaya will not be upset by this. Eat your food slowly and stop eating at the first sign of being full. Your papaya will become very agitated if you overeat. Skip desserts, as your papaya is most effective when you do not eat dessert.\n\nStep 3: Be certain your papaya gets plenty of fresh air and exercise. Th

it depends on your metabolism, but wouldn't recommend it as a long term solution to losing weight since it'll probably lead you to an eating disorder of some kind.  just try reducing your food intake and go on a low carb diet with lots of veggies and some fruits.

No matter what anyone says or what all those money making gimmicks say, the best and healthiest way to lose weight is EXERCISE and GOOD EATING.  YOu have a fair amount of time so instead of worrying about dieting and short term results, instead, why not make it a goal to live a healthier lifestyle which will stick with you after you lose weight and after the vacation/wedding and will make you a healthy person (which has its pay offs i.e. longer life) in general.  This means eating well balanced meals (not crappy junk food (though once in awhile won't kill you)).  Most importantly, exercise has so much to do with health - physical, mental, emotional health.  There is an infinite number of pay backs from exercising from losing weight to better sleep to regulated periods, to better skin, to feeling good, to better childbearing, and on and on.  so make it a goal to change your lifestyle to become a healthy person.  stop buying junk food and stock up on grains, fruits and veggies, yogurt, chicken and fish, etc.  That way, not only will you look good on vacation/wedding but for life.

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.

What green tea does is it actually helps to speed up your metabolism. So yes, it is good to help lose weight. As to how much to drink...I would say a lot.

Papaya is the best for you. Kiwi has fiber so its really really good for you.\n\nMost fruits have sugar and sugar makes it harder for fat to get released in your body. It actually stores fat in your body so I wouldnt recommend indulging in just fruit as a diet.

A brazilial study showed that 300 overweight women who ate three apples per day lost more weight than a similar gourp who did'nt add fruit to their diet.  Researchers believe that adding fruit to the diet of the overweight women changed their METABOLIC PROFILES

Yes, but you would have to ALWAYS eat right and excercise daily.  I recommend Weight Watchers diet.

Tea in general (or water!) "aids digestion", and if you like it, Pu-Erh will do so too, though no better or worse than any other beverage as far as I can tell.  There are some studies indicating it may help lower cholesterol, but there is no magic drink that can aid 'weight loss'.  The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.  Eat less, exercise more.

losing weight is not very easy, especially for starters. but giving a little effort would assure you of a really safe and effective weight loss. a low-carb, low fat, high-fiber diet is the best diet. this is a sample menu, about 1200 calories the whole day. you will not spend a lot, and you will not feel hunger.\n\nbreakfast:\n1 pc toast / sliced bread\n1 pc banana or apple\n1 glass of milk\ntea or coffee with low cal sweetener (or sugar)\n\n10 am snack:\n1 banana or apple OR\n10 pcs of berries OR\n1 cup popcorn\n1 glass lemonade or juice\n\nlunch:\nopen sandwich (no bread on top) containing:\n1 slice of smoked ham (about 60 grams)\ntomatoes, lettuce, onion\n1 glass juice/lemonade/tea\n\n4pm snack:\n3 pcs of oreo cookies OR\n1 palmful peanuts OR\nany medium sized fruit\n\ndinner:\n1 100-gram cut of lean meat (if chicken, no skin)\n1 1/2 golfball size serving mashed potato or pasta\nup to 2 cups of green veggies or steamed carrots and peas\ndessert: any medium fruit OR\n1 golfball size of low fat ice cream or sorbet\n1 cup of coffee or tea\n\nyou can do variations of this sample plan. very low cost (not totally no cost of course), and low maintenance. you will not feel any hunger at any time of the day. the best thing is, these foods are definitely available in your own house, probably also the things you eat daily. and you will not deprive yourself so binging and mood swings will be avoided.\n\nthrow in some exercise while you're at it: jogging, weightlifting for muscle development, pilates for flexibility (there are websites that show some basic pilates moves), powerwalking for stamina building. even regular day to day activities help - walking to the bus station, bicycling to the supermarket, mopping the floor, you can even do some jogging in-place while watching TV. remember that a well balanced diet and regular exercise is still the best. not only will you be kept trim, you will also stay healthy.\n\nremember that there are no quick-fix diets and exercises. starving yourself and pushing yourself to extreme exhaustion would only lead to even more dangers, and a higher medical cost. the best way to achieve your goal and to get a healthier body is to incorporate a well balanced diet and enough exercise in your daily life.

No, its a bad idea. Not only will you keep your real weight (as opposed to water weight)  your skin is likely to break out into a nasty rash which will make it tougher to EXERCISE, the real way to lose weight along with a sensible diet.

I have diabetes, and have been told by a dietician in the hospital to eat a fruit  6 times a day. Fruit with breakfast, 10 am, noon, 2 pm dinner, and snack before bedtime. Only one banana a day, higher sugar. Apples and pears are great. Mangos are ok in smaller quantities. These are natural sugars, a little harder to digest.  These fruits take away hunger and are lower in calories  than items we eat with sugar in them such as cookies, cakes, candy and all those bad things. I have lost 70 lbs by doing this over a period of time  (250 down to 180) My diabetis went away (after being at 460) for 7 years after losing to 224. It has come back because I cheated too much, but it is back to normal with medication only. I eat fruit, when I  get a craving. It really works.  The dietician was very accurate. Best advice I have ever been given.
