I started taking a pill called Appuloss about 9 months ago I'd say. I took them for about 3 months and walked on the treadmill everyday as well as done crunches in my Ab Lounge. After 3 months I had lost 34 pounds. I stopped taking the pills that same month so I took them about 3 1/2 months and now I just watch what I eat and try to walk everyday. Before those pills I had tried all types of things. They are the best! (And no, I don't sell them nor am I affiliated in any way) :P

errrr, how about eating less hamburger and exercise more? There is no shortcut if you want to loose weight

Dont stop eating, that's for sure! It will decrease your metabolism and your fat wont loose its stored fat. What you can do immediately is to divide your meals into smaller ones. Frequent small feedings are best and this increases your metabolism. It worked wonders for me.

I don't know if it's a secret or not but i can tell you some quick ways of losing weight and i tried it myself for 2 months and lose approx 10 pounds easily. Also quick weight loss is not good for health so go for little bit gradual process.
1) Do a 30-45 minutes walk before dinner
2) Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a servant (that's the best way to lose weight)
3) Try to eight little amount of meal but 4,5 times a day specially from morning to evening 3,4 times and just one time at night.
4) Drink green tea 2 times a day (evening and night) and if not then just one time after dinner.
5) Do some healthy exercises and cycling for a good figure after losing weight.
Thanks

Yes - I have a sort-of 'secret'. I bought a PLR book on weight-loss a while back. It was called the 80-20 diet. It was a great idea, but the books was badly written imho. So I completely rewrote it including my own thinking on using the Pareto Principle for weight loss. And you can get a free copy here ...

Even i have read that 'dieting' or 'eating nothing' do not work.this new age theory of eating small meals several times has become very popular and lots of celebrities like film starts often use it.and yes the old adage "eat breakfast like king,lunch like prince and dinner like pauper" seem to be true.

Id avoid pills personally.

I am currently losing weight - still not near my goal but getting there - and it comes down to simply this - burn more calories than you eat. That's the big "secret"

What works best for me is:

Eating clean - no processed foods basically - shop around he outside of the grocery store

Exercise - cardio COMBINED with a resistance training (weight lifting) program.

It is absolutely impossible to "loose" weight unless you cut it off with a surgeon's knife.

Now if you want to "lose" weight, then that is a different matter. There are many ways and the best is to eat sensibly, cut down on junk food and get some exercise.

Anybody can "lose" weight if they really want to.

Sam


I hate it when people say loose and it should be lose.

webmatic

Don't hate them as they are actually trying to "lose" and not "loose" lol
Also i agree that the best way to lose weight is to control your diet and avoid junk meals and do some healthy exercises and i hope you will get benefit of the ways to lose weight i mentioned in my last post.
Thanks

Not a secret, but - a good percentage of the world's population (particularly Caucasians) are "carb-intolerant". I gain weight easy when I eat bread, potatoes, etc, and drop it easy when I stick to meat, fish, chicken, fats and non-carby vegetables/fruits.

Unfortunately, it costs a bucketload more. Depends on how important your waistline is to you. The best book on the subject is The Metabolic Diet by Dr. Mauro diPasquale. I think it sells on Amazon.

Listen and listen very closely I will only say this once

There is no secret to losing weight

It's like marketing you've got to track your results do what's working and eliminate the things that ain't working. It takes action and the right mind set.

Read the ebook Burn the fat feed the muscle that ebook has everything you need to know about fat loss. I read it I followed it. I sweat blood and tears and I ended up with 6% body fat. I was at 20% body fat before I followed the ebook. It took me about 3-4 months but you gotta follow the book to the letter T. Just google it and buy the ebook. No affiliate links here.. Just real information that works.

Honestly, I don't know if it is a secret. I hear 80% of fitness/ losing weight is nutrition (food intake). Keep in mind, working out plays a huge factor.

I have a body sculptor (yes, this is what we call him! ) and he keeps me focused daily. Here is my two cents:

1. Hire a trainer or join a gym

2. Do Cardio exercises everyday & exercise routine

3. Don't eat any sugars, bread, pasta heavily. Eat protein enriched foods.

4. Develop a cheat day (1 day a week). Always work out on cheat day.

I also have menus, dieting myths, etc. If you like, I could forward to you. Let me know.

P.S. It takes time, be patient. :-)

Loren Woirhaye

Yeah. Control your eating. Change your habits.

IF you want to lose weight take a hard look at how
you are using food to get sense-gratification.

I'm not saying it's easy to conquer. I'm not claiming
I've conquered it myself completely - gluttony is
so embedded in Western values it's something we
don't notice much.

When I stopped eating animal flesh that was a major step -
it took a couple of years for the desires to subside entirely.

As others mention, refined sugars starches, breads,
pastas - these make you fat. Vegetables and whole
grains form the basis of a healthful diet for just about
everyone. Some folks seem to need dairy and/or eggs
in their diets, others don't - and needs vary depending
on what life-stage you are in.

I'm not saying this to persuade anybody to be a vegetarian -
like any decision not eating meat, or eating it, has consequences.
The mature thing is to make choices, accept the consequences,
and evaluate where your choices are taking you.

I like this book: "Healing with Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford
- it's like a bible to me in the dietary area. The author
is a Vegan but the book is not about any one diet being
right for everybody, it's about finding the optimal diet
for your personal well-being - if overweight is a condition
afflicting you there are many ways to approach changing
the condition in the book.

Tracie Johansen

In order to lose weight you need to get rid of temptation. Clean your fridge and cupboards out and remove anything that will deter your weight loss.

Replenish your fridge and cupboards with lots of healthy snacks that taste good. This will help you stay honest. Most diets fail because old habits are hard to break. If you are used to going to the fridge every time you are bored, sad, lonely or stressed out, you need to change.

Yes, I know this is easier said then done. If you are eating out of boredom or lonliness, find something you enjoy to do. Why not take a class, take up dance, go hiking, take a walk in the park, go fishing, learn needlepoint, or anything else that you can enjoy and will keep you from eating out of boredom.

Some great healthy snack ideas include 100 calorie packs (just don't eat the whole box), baby carrots, small rice cakes, sugarless gum, hard candies, 8 oz skim milk with ovalitine (instead of a chocolate shake), individual fruit cups like applesauce, peaches, mixed fruit to help your sweet tooth, a slice of whole grain bread (for carbo cravings), or put together your own 100 calorie packs of some of your favorite treats in ziplock bags and only eat one when you simply must give into your cravings.

Many times you will find that just eating a small snack and drinking a glass of water will calm you down and make those nasty cravings for a 1000 calorie snack go away. Drink plenty of water. If you eat 5-6 small meals a day and drink 8-12 ounces of water with each meal, you will get the water you need to help flush out fat. Also, be sure to add extra fiber as it will also help flush out fat.

Try to limit your beef and pork intake. Replace it with chicken, turkey and fish as much as you can stand. Look online to find great fish and poultry recipes and you will find it much easier to stick with.

Also, you need to add some exercise to your day to increase your metabolism. Make it something you can live with and your chance for success will increase. If you know you won't go to the gym, don't spend a fortune signing up for a membership. Try taking a walk, dancing with your kids, a new sport, or something you know you can stick with because you enjoy it.

Good Luck!

People will argue with this, but here it is anyway.

- Eat fewer calories than you expend every day
- Consume almost exclusively animal protein (i.e. meat and dairy)
- Consume almost exclusively complex carbohydrates (i.e. vegetables)
- Consume equal amounts of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats
- Calorie content: protein, 4 calories * your body weight in pounds; fat, 300 calories; carbohydrates, EVERYTHING ELSE
- Eat six to eight meals of roughly equal calorie and macronutrient content every day
- Use olive oil and fish oil to top off your fat if necessary at the END of the day
- Exercise every single day, no matter WHAT happens
- The first twenty minutes of exercise doesn't count, so a forty-five minute workout is really just short of a half hour
- Exercise immediately before a meal
- Allow yourself up to five extra meals each week, with the same calories as your normal meals, but with whatever macronutrient content you like... this prevents you from going crazy because your favoritest thing EVAR isn't in the diet

For what it's worth.

TopGun - just finishing up a report/eguide about why you can't lose weight so I can't give it all away, but for your first quick tip --
Are you drinking fluoridated water? Stop it. Now. It suppresses your thyroid.
You might not be getting enough iodine either, for reasons of some of our food and
because of things like fluoridated water so get some suppliments. THat isn't ALL
there is to it -- but it should help get the pounds dissolving.

Stay tuned and I'll be announcing my new release and it will cover all the reasons people have trouble losing - and the realities of what you have to do to be normal again.

There's this little smoothie shop in my city that serves these really great fruit smoothies. They make these "signature smoothies" with their 3 Power Fruits. I think the shop's only in Austin but here are their Power Fruits:

Acai
Goji
Pomegranate

I don't remember all the specifics right now, but I do know according to them, acai = antioxidants, goji = weight-loss (more than 100x the vitamin C content as oranges) and pomegranate = extends life, I think by improving blood-flow.

Of course, they mix these fruits with others - strawberries, pineapples, etc

Whenever you feel like having something sweet to drink, seek out one of those smoothie places - especially if they carry any of those three fruits. Froots is a great smoothie place, I think they're nationwide

redfc

Topgunb,

Try eat fruits that's not sweet like green apple and follow by a glass of water before meals.

Repeat with the same fruits every day, that should make lose a bit of appetite before your meal. The hardest part is not eating but emotion of having the same green apple everytime.

cheers

Burn more calories than you consume.
That's physics and it's all you need to know. Everything else is hype.

Ways to burn more calories:
* sports (obviously)

Ways to consume less calorie:
* not necessary (if you integrate sport into your daily life)

With that approach, I lost 12 kg since the beginning of this year.

What helped me:
* Monitor my weight. I printed out a diagram and add my weight daily. The diagram is placed where I see it every morning.
* Replace bad habits with good habits. Instead of eating a chocolate bar every morning, I got used to eating an apple instead.
* Competition. I started a weightloss competition with my wife.

You may foolow even the best diet books and consult the best doctors but you wouldn't notice the result. As for me, the best way to loose weight is to walk more, to forget about cars, buses and so on. Try to spend more time on the open air - oxygen destroys calories.Drink more water, tea or juices. And what about food? I think we should eat what we want - if we want something it means that we need it! But you should plan the schedule of eating.

Well, for summer I wanted to lose a few, so what I tried is Clinical Strength Green Tea pills in combination with drinking Apple Cider Vinegar--the vinegar you drink 3 times a day, use about a tablespoon in a 4oz glass of water.

I tell ya, it works!! I've lost about 9 pds!!

I am not sure about clinical strength green tea pills but green tea is for sure good for health and burning fats and apple vinegar is also good for health and if you don't like drinking it with water then just use it with salad (specially cucumber) and i am sure you will love it and lose your weight as well.

I agree with you except the bolded phrase above.

Humans crave fatty foods because it's a case of survival. We need fat to keep us warm.

However, we haven't evolved to our current day surroundings...such as transport, effortless tasks, automation, heat water and food on demand, clothes...

Therefore, evolutionary speaking, we still crave fatty foods as a part of our survival but in reality we don't actually need them.

I've managed to lose about 18lbs in 6 months without any stress or strain or misery. Here's how:

1. Stopped drinking beer
2. Stopped drinking regularly (once a week MAX)
3. Stopped using cooking oil (non stick pans, boiling and oven baking instead)
4. Sold my car, and walk EVERYWHERE now
5. Eat when I want, not when someone tells me to
6. Eat low calorie snacks, cut out soft drinks
7. Cut out fruit juice (waaay too much sugar and not enough nutrients)
8. Eat breakfast everyday
9. Eat my evening meal EARLY (before 7pm latest)
10. Substitute white carbs (potato, white bread, white rice etc) for salad, vegetables and noodles.

The hardest part is building new recipes into your week and resisting treats when you don't REALLY need or want them.

(Oh we're watching a movie, so we MUST have chocolate)
(Oh it's Friday, let's have pizza!)

Treat are great, but it's the regularity of treats that keep the fat around the waist.

There isn't any real secret to weight loss, it's more will-power than anything else. The bottom line is you need to consume less calories than you need to reduce weight. I believe to loose 1lb in 1 week you need a calorie reduction of 3,500. It's hard because most things that are nice to eat are also high calorie. You can reduce your calorie in take by effectively increasing your calorie burn rate, via exercise. So, eat the same, but do loads of exercise. Not always practical.

Don't starve yourself as you will decrease your metabolism, eat regularly, at least 5 times per day, this makes your body increase its metabolism (and burn more calories).

Best thing, find something else to occupy your mind instead of eating. Most people eat because they're fed-up or bored or just want an excuse to have a break.

Just finished writing some articles on why diets don't work. I hate to be the harbinger of bad news but yes, there's no secret to losing weight. Actually when you try dieting, you should lose some pounds short-term but you'll definitely find it difficult to maintain that. And worse, if you fall off your diet, you'll be gaining back your weight faster than you lost it. It would be best to just try living a healthy lifestyle, which doesn't necessarily mean shedding off some weight. A few active hours (one or two a day) every week, not skipping breakfast, and keeping yourself stress free should do some wonders. Good luck!

Cheers!

Loren Woirhaye

I started wwriting a few more thoughts, and got kind of carried-
away. I'm quite interested in the idea of: "how do you (or I)
create a balanced life?" How do we manage to excel and succeed
in our careers, please our families, treat our bodies well,
and enjoy ourselves too?

I don't have any answers that will fit everybody - all I have
is many years of experience working on being balanced myself.

Arguably making short-term cutbacks in caloric intake (dieting)
is a flawed method of weight-control. Some studies show dieting
causes the body to react and pack on weight, but obviously if
that were always true there wouldn't be so many folks out there
who have succeeded in losing weight with dieting.

The permanent adoption of more healthful eating habits is just
about the only things all weight-loss stuff agrees on. Getting
the weight off is one thing (and it's often hard work), but keeping
it off is quite another - and that's a matter of finding a pattern
of eating that works for you to maintain your weight. Committing
to spending the rest of your life walking a mile or two a day,
practicing yoga, aerobics, etc, is a nice idea, but in reality most
of us get busy with stuff and one of the first disciplines we let go
of is that of making time to exercise.

Thus I argue that committing to a lifetime of intentional fitness
(exercise) is not a reasonable solution for many people, especially
us online marketers and writers who spend a lot of time on our
asses not burning many calories.

I used to be a carpenter and when I was working I could eat
like a horse and I was very fit. Now I eat more sparingly,
and I'm still trim but not as fit. I've slacked off the dedicated
yoga practice I had in my 20s and early 30s because my career
goals became more important to me than yoga. I'm just making
a point that even though I know how to be very fit and have
been in the past, my disciplines these days are primarily confined
to professional development and writing; not playing guitar,
mastering advanced yoga postures, or medidation - all things
which interested me a lot when I was younger and to which I
devoted a lot of time.

What I HAVE retained from my early 20s is an interest in
eating for my health, not the gratification of my senses. This
too is not always easy, but I've made a few rules for myself
that mostly work. Because I live with somebody now the food
in the house is not in my complete control, but I am winning
her over gradually.

A damaging admission: if junk food is around (in the house)
I will eat it.

My solution: I don't buy it. I'll sometimes eat junk food
if offered it, but in my own house the only reliable way I
have found to prevent myself from eating food that tastes
good but doesn't make me feel good is to not have it around
too often.

1. Things I don't buy but will eat when offered:
-bread
-wheat pasta
-ice cream
-sweets

2. Things I don't eat at all (because I don't like them, made
a decision not to eat them, or because I know eating them
will make me feel crappy)
-meat (dead animals)
-soda

The foods in the second group represent zero temptation for
me. They hold no attraction.

What is interesting is that having zero desire to eat meat
is a habit, because before I decided to stop eating it I quite
enoyed it and my extended family eats it in virtually every
meal. I simply made a decision not to eat it anymore.
Soda I just don't like anymore. When I was a kid I liked
it fine.

I'm not saying you have to stop eating meat to be healthy.

I am saying that if you want to lose weight you need to
get a new set of eating habits and engage in these new
habits with sufficient commitment that you can stick with
them for the long-term, because you prefer the way your
new pattern helps you feel to the sense-gratification
of your older eating pattern.

She's in Boston and is a well known Rawfoods chef with a super restaurant.
She also teaches her skills in training classes.

But, look a the before and after photos on her site.Some great results advocating Raw food.

Look at some of her meals photos. NO one would say eating raw is tasteless.
After being on a raw "lifestyle" as apposed to "dieting" you'll certainly be thinner.

If you not exercising REGULARLY do so.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator and escalator.
Turn OFF the boob tube and go for a walk.

Also research the benefits of healthy fats in your diet. including Flax seed oil
Proven to help build muscle which helps burn fat.

Reduce your stress as much as possible.
Make sure you are breathing properly. You'd be surprised how you can bring up your metabolism if you just breathe well.

Cut out/reduce the chemical crap that is sold in boxes with 6 paragraphs of ingredients!

Can't pronounce it, don't eat it.

Make lifestyle changes for the long term instead of "Dieting" for a period to just lose weight.

Weight is usually gained slowly, like the frog in the pot of water story, and before we know it a sack of potatoes are stuck to our behinds or belly.

Good luck!

Most people think they eat less than they really do. You can track your food intake for free at sparkpeople.com.

I don't use diet supplements or pills or miracle juice. I eat healthy foods that are high in fiber and low in saturated fats. I try to exercise 30 minutes every day, I drink lots of water, and I limit my carbs to whole grain and vegetable sources. I avoid things like rice, potatoes and bread. (I eat them, just not often). This is not a secret, it's just common sense good luck.

chrisoldcorn

No secret. I don't eat "refined" sugar products such as cookies etc. I eat natural food including meat but in small quantities. I walk for about 40 minutes each night. It sounds easy and it is. Just stick with it.

Actually, if it is taking a lot of will power there are other things going on. Your body will work to heal itself (ever cut your finger?) and overweight is not the normal condition of a body. Fat is not a PROBLEM - it is a SYMPTOM. Very few people become more that a few pounds overweight unless something else is going on - there are a few that just eat themselves into a stupor, but that's not the case as often as the thin would like to believe.

Sandy Hands

I concur with John, which is similar to work conducted by Dr Joel Furhnam and John Rose. Both have achieved amazing long term success by one very simple formula:

Nutrient dense diet.

Its not the calories but the type of calories.

Eat a nutrient dense diet, meaning the nutrient to calorie ratio is higher meaning you will be giving all your body needs to maintain and repair itself.

After a few weeks the sugar cravings reduce.

If you do it the hard way and try and juice fast to kick off your campaign, then the results can be quite life altering as far as health and mindset go.

I am not fanatical about raw or juice, but I do try and make better decisions, and don't punish yourself for making a bad decision, just make a better one next time. If I feel like a drink, I'll have a bottle of red wine instead of a case of beer.....

Different bodies have different triggers. For me it was beer and bread. Reducing those two things alone helped get to a steady weight.

Good luck!

Walking is the best exercise. If obessity is a problem, go for a jog everyday. It will reduce your body weight.

russellprisco

I know I should follow this advice but....

Eat smaller portions more often (eat 6 times a day instead of 3)

Drink lots of water

Start each meal with a small salad (without mainstream dressing... can use some oil and vinegar (I like rice vinegar...yummy!))

Chew your food really good (makes it easier for your system to digest)

Don't eat right before bed

Make some better food choices. If possible, junk all the junk food in your house. If you feel bad throwing it away, give it to someone else outside of your household.

Don't eat (or drink) anything that says "Diet" on it. Ex diet soda, diet cookies, etc... According to Kevin Tredeau (you can research it yourself and make your own decision on this) in his book, Natural Cures, Things THEY Don't Want You To Know About, diet food is made to make you fatter so you keep buying it.

Aside from that though, those artificial sweeteners have been linked to neurological disorders. And don't be fooled by Splenda either just because it's "made" from sugar... It's still NOT sugar...

You're better off eating the sugar.

Speaking of, you also may want to give yourself a cheat day. Or should I say a cheat reward.
If you've done good for the first 6 days, you can go out and get a piece of pie or what have you , but only take a couple of bites. Or maybe get ONE slice of pizza, and then back on for another 6.8 days =)

Which also reminds me... While you've lessened your portions... DON'T feel like you have to finish the food on your plate just because it's there. Tony Robbins said that he overcame this by listening to his favorite music and got himself up to a peak emotional state as he pushed the plate away and begin to have a positive association with this. Marshall Sylver says that the food will be wasted one way, or another, wasted in the garbage, or waisted on your waist...



If you can afford it, buy organic foods. They have WAY more nutritional value than non-organic foods. If you have a local farmers market, buy from them. (With Big companies that MASS produce fruits and veggies, the nutritional value ends up getting depleted from the soil. Also, many of them are Genetically Modified to be bigger, seedless etc.. and that's just messing with the way mother nature had intended things...) Again, I know it's a little (sometimes a lot) more expensive... but well worth it for your health.

If you live with other people, get their support not to tempt you with other foods. Often times, especially in a relationship, if one person is growing, the other person is either forced to grow with them or else they usually try to drag the other person back down to their level. See if you can get you're significant other (if applicable) to do this with you. It sure makes it a WHOLE lot easier...And MORE FUN!

Walk for at least 45 minutes briskly (uninterrupted 2x a day if possible (once in the morning before you eat, and once at night before you go to bed) around your neighborhood or wherever (get an MP3 player and slap some marketing MP3's in there so you can dovetail and get more than one thing done at a time)

Determine what your end goal is.

Be realistic as to not be let down.

Be easy on yourself if you're not perfect (99.9% chance you won't be, just like everyone else...) Remember a plane is off course most of the time getting to it's destination... it's just a matter of noticing it, and getting back on course as QUICKLY as you can. The time to put that third piece of bananna creme pie down is as soon as you realize what you're doing isn't effective towards your goal.. DON'T finish the slice.

Go to barnes and nobles and find a magazine with someone that looks like you'd like to look like. Then cut him/her out, and stick em' on a piece of cardboard. Optionally, and more effectively, find a headshot of yourself (present or maybe a pic where you were at a lighter weight previously) and glue it on top of their head.

Look at that picture often througout the day, and don't just "wish" you were like that...

CLAIM IT. As if it were already a done deal and you just have to move into that body by doing the previous steps mentioned.

FEEL good about yourself now. While you may be happier at a lighter weight, feeling good about yourself now will help you move forward more powerfully than negative self talk. When you notice that negative self talk, tell it to shut the hell up. =)

Maybe also look into a good hypnosis program.

My #1 Living mentor, Marshall Sylver has a wieght loss Program (I think it goes for about $20 bucks). Marshall is freaking awesome. His website is Sylver.com.

Turn off the TV (better yet cancel it) If something happens that's important enough, someone else will tell you about it. =)

Get out of your house more.
Lastly, if you can find some kind of activity that is fun (whether it be volleyball, bicycling, a dog walking club or whatever... it won't seem like "work" because it's something you enjoy.

Like internet marketing. I think that the majority of true internet marketers don't work very much because we love what we do.... which is why we spend so much darn time in front of our computers!
