This is a radical change, I know, but my husband became a vegetarian last month, and in just one month he lost 20 pounds! I'm so proud of him for finally making the switch! He doesn't exercise an awful lot, either. Moderate exercise every other day. Hope this was of some help! :)

Actually I am on YouTube looking at the Raw Food Diet. Doctor G. Cousens did a very informative video on 10/08/12 and look for the current videos. A very extreme change from the American Diet but the vegetarian diet could be very good for your health.  Check out these videos.

Detoxify your liver/body and cut out all the artificial ingredients so your body can function properly.  If you have any major health concerns check with a medical professional before starting any radical detox programs.  There are some good teas to help that shouldn't hurt.  :thumbsup: :peace:

By the way...  you posted this feed under the Word Chains category.

Get plenty of exercise, eat lots of natural vegetables, and eat poultry meat such as chicken and turkey as opposed to red meat. That will help you loose weight.

The fastest way is to first replace the food in your house with better choices. Give away the ice cream and
purchase some chicken, fish, fruit, nuts, raisins, vegetables, Cheerios, 1% milk 100% whole wheat bread.
Commit to jogging 5 days per week. Eat a fruit and drink water at night.
For snacks grab a zip log bag, mix cheerios, raisins, and nuts.
If you decide to cheat do so during the day not at nights... commit one day only.
All the best!!  :thumbsup:

Wow I wish I could help but I am struggling to find the right way for me concerning this right now.   :dontknow:  I have lost about 9 lbs over the last 2-3 weeks just by losing my appetite (hubby died recently) but beyond that have been eating only 2 meals and then supplementing that with fruit or a bowl of cereal at night.  Whatever - I am just gonna keep plugging away at it.  My weight loss is always faster if I walk or do water aerobics.

I lost 20 pounds by eating ruby red grapefruit and drinking green tea.  I need to do it now but grapefruit are scarce during the winter and I hope I can find some next month. ;D :D :D

I dont think losing 30-50 lbs in less than a month is a realistic goal...with that being said, I lose 35 lbs in 5 months by taking the bee pollen zi xiu tang. However I believe it has been found to have some unhealthy ingredients. It didn't have any side affects for me but I believe it may cause heart palpitations in some people.

If you stick to a 1200 calorie diet and lots of exercise you might be able to come close to 30 lbs. But that is a lot of weight to loose and stay healthy in such a short time. Be careful and take care of yourself.

My son lost about 30 pound quickly going on the Palio diet. He also exercises every day.  The diet restricts white flour products and cannot eat beans.  The diet does want you to eat meat and veggies. 

You have to find a diet that you are going to stay on, lifestyle way to eat.  There are many people that yo yo diet and I don't think that is healthy for you. It messes up the metabolism and there could be other health issues that I don't know about.

I liked the soup and salad diet. I only eat a little chicken in the soup.  I do make my soup stock with chicken.  Lots of vegetables in my diet.  I eat 3 fruits a day. Limit the white flower products that I eat.

Best wishes on the diet that you can stick with as a lifestyle diet.

Paleo is good but Keto is better. Paleo is better for maintaining wieght while Keto is better for loosing it.

Ketogenic diet may be good for curing epileptic conditions, but I don't think eating all that meat as a lifestyle diet is good for anyone.  Maybe as a weight reduction plan for a time.

Due to the processing of meat  in our meat production industry with growth harmonies, etc., I would not use the Ketogenic diet as a whole life diet.

It is mind-boggeling as the correct weight loss diet to be on. 

Good luck!

That's not possible unless you are morbidly obese with 100+ pounds to lose. You may be able to lose 10-20 pounds if you do have a substantial amount of weight to lose but otherwise I would look into a more realistic goal. If you lose a lot of weight quickly you tend to gain it back as soon as you go back to eating normally

I would suggest tracking what you eating and exercising. I use sparkpeople and have had success

I'm taking the P-90X Challenge. And I gotta tell you, I'm 8 days into the program and it'll ware you out!  :o But the program offers a Great eating schedule and plan to live by. You just gotta make sure to get rid of the Bad, junk food out of your house or you 'will' be subject to eat it. Trust me, it's happened to me  :sad1: but pick a program or gym and stick with it. Don't give up. And when you're marching around with good results you'll be proud and it'll be the best feeling in the world. Wish you all the best!  :wave: :)

I know what you are going through  trying to lose weight. I finally told myself it was time Iand I started. I used the Deal a Meal and Sweating to the Oldies with Richard Simmons. I started off slowly on the exercising tape as I was so out of shape. But as the time went on I was able to do more and more. I lost 9 pounds the first week alone. When all was said and done I had lost over 40 lbs. Not bad right? I learned how to eat the correct portions and took it from there. I hope that you have the success that you are looking for. Remember the old saying that "Rome wasn't built in a day". Just keep your goal in mind and you will do it.

GOOD LUCK!!!! :thumbsup: :female:

Do not eat red meat and keep your fat intake down.  I changed my diet and just lost 15 lbs in a month.  I eat a lot of fish, chicken, and vegetables.  Also I like the fiber one products for my anything sweet.

I've given up meat. I do eat fish and low fat dairy. I try to only do whole grain products. My biggest problem is sweets. I try to stay away from them but it's so hard. If I could give them up I would probably be in good shape.

Recently, I have been using the Lose It app on Google Chrome. I really like it. There is tons of support and motivation tips. When I want to lose weight, I eat Smart Ones. They really help me out a lot. I buy their desserts too, when I have a craving for something sweet. Best tip, is to drink lots of water. Whenever I get hungry, water helps me overcome the hunger pains. Cold water is best. It will curb your hunger at least an hour and when you do eat, you won't feel so hungry anymore so you won't overeat. I run too on a daily basis. I strength train 3-4 times a week and do interval training/cardio 3 times a week. I run 6 times a week. If I need to lose between 25-50 pounds, I usually get this accomplished in 9 months, but I have to exercise almost everyday to do so!

Good Luck everyone!!  :thumbsup:

I would avoid taking drugs that promise weight loss.  You can safely speed up your metabolism to burn more calories by doing the following:

* Cut the size of your meals and eat more often, every 4 - 6 hours
* Try to work in some exercise about 30 minutes after you eat, even if it is for just 5 minutes at a time
* Avoid sugar & food items with processed flour.  If you have to eat on the run & are able to take lunch to work with you, make your own bread (pancakes will   
   work for sandwich bread) using oat flour instead of wheat flour.  You can put regular oats in a blender & make your own flour cheaply.
* Eat healthy; strive for a good nutritional mix.
* Don't skip breakfast even if it is just an egg with juice.
* For quick snacks or to satisfy hunger cravings, try V-8.

Wow shows how little you know! It is good for soo much more then just epilepsy. If you knew your  :bootyshake: from a hole in the ground you would know that you DO NOT EAT PROCESSED MEATS on Keto...
