The best way to lose weight is to improve your eating habits and to increase your activity. This is a simple formula that many overweight people cannot achieve - distracted by the promise of shifting a stone in a week on some amazing new celebrity diet, then a hamburger...and ooh just one slice of that delicious chocolate cake.
You've heard it all before...faddy diets which force you to eat strange food combinations, limit your intake to only one food group, or allow you to "eat as much as you like" are completely pointless.
Due to the design of the human body, it is necessary to think back to when man first evolved. The natural diet would have been based on fruits, vegetables and nuts with meat as a vital protein source. Plenty of activity would have been carried out, walking from place to place and keeping bust with hunting and foraging.
If you fast forward to the modern day, our daily activity level and food habits are entirely different. This explains the growing obesity epidemic across the world, as people sit still for longer and stuff themselves with more food.
The way to kick your body into weight loss mode is a gradual and carefully controlled process. You cannot starve yourself one week and then pig out the next - it has to be consistent. Stop eating so much, and look at what you are eating. You'd be amazed how many people think they eat "healthily" whereas in actual fact they are far from it. Start to reduce your portion sizes by eating off a smaller plate and not cooking so much food. Quit the takeaways (which are SO bad for you) and stop smoking.
Increasing your activity is equally important in your effort to lose weight. Even just a 30 minute walk per day is a great way to get regular healthy exercise. That 30 mins could be spent in even more active ways too. like swimming, running or even dancing. If you are overweight and conscious of your body, you don't need to join a gym to lose weight. Get a dog who will need a walk every day and take him out instead!

Eat healthy (lots of fruits n veggies), drink lots of water (especially before meals), exercise daily, and try using a weight loss pill to see if it decreases appetite.

Drink plain still water about 64oz per day and take in less cals than you put out. Try eating off smaller plates with no eating between meals. Drink the water if you think you are hungrybeween meals as very often ones body gets confused whether it wants food or water.

You don't want to do these short term fixes to losing weight. One very important thing to remember is 'the quicker you lose it, the quicker you put it back on' and trust me this is correct i've been there done that. When i lost my weight i still ate what i wanted but really cut down on my proportion. I would give my self 1 day in the week where i would allow myself to eat whatever i wanted if i had been good during the week. I exercise 5 days a week for about an hour, i need not eat 3hours before a work out and after an evening work out i will only eat soup as its easier to digest. I make sure i don't eat any solid foods 4 hours before i go sleep and i avoid any carbs in the evening. It is hard work it really is but please do not do these quick fix methods they don't work long term.

What i normally do, if i have over two stone i have 1500 calories are day under two stones 1250 calories per day and 30 g fat, 4 pints of water.
I recently lost over 4 stones the program i followed really suited me i lost 11 lb in 11 days. This way you don't need to count calories or fat you just choose 30 foods you like from a list and it generate a 11 day plan that suits you. I lost fat which normally i find difficult to do, each day my stomach got flatter. I found this good as i reached my target weight in no time .
If you want advise about this plan here is the site i used good luck www.swurl.cc

I have tried a program based on eating only one type of food per day and have lost 6 kg in one week. You have to respect the order and eat only one thing during the day.
1st day- meat (cooked without oil or salt,boiled is best)
2nd day- vegetables (one or two but only one at a table and raw if possible,or boiled)
3rd day - fish (also cooked without oil,on a barbecue or boiled)
4th day - fresh fruits (apples,not bannanas)
5th day - milk or yoghurt
6th day - eggs (3 boiled eggs all day)

I tried a similar diet a few years ago and I did have a temporary weight loss, but I was bored and felt deprived and I also had gas pains from the types of foods. I have been successful with eating the foods I enjoy and increase my activity, which in turn makes me feel more energetic. Just a thought because I've been there, done that and it's not a eating program you can stay on for any length of time.
Start watching your carbs and sugar intake drink diet drinks but watch how much protein you take in cause when you deduct carbs sometimes you make it up with protein also try and cut back on your fats and no grease you will lose weight quick I am losing about 2 lbs. A day no lie good luck and this diet will help you from becoming a diabetic I am on it because I am a diabetic and I have an enlarged liver due to to many fats and grease in my diet but no more so try it and some day let me know if it worked for you
