There is no healthy way to lose a lot of weight in about a month. You could aim for 10, but that'd be stretching it, and you'd probably gain the weight right back on anyways.
Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Like most people (I'm guilty sometimes!), you've probably brainwashed yourself into thinking that fast food tastes better than healthy food, but that's not entirely true! Try eating more grapes, clemintines, apples chunks in vanilla yogurt (good for sweet cravings!), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it's really not, especially with Wheat Thins or Food Should Taste Good brand whole grain chips! I personally like garden vegetable or tomato flavored), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, LITE whole wheat bread, 100 - calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they're good AND pretty healthy! And eat SLOWLY. Take one bite at a time, chew completely, then take another bite. If you eat slower, you'll become fuller quicker, and you won't overeat.
Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don't let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.
And don't eat out of boredom! It's a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don't have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food.
And don't "DIET". Because the moment you go off your "diet", you'll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make "healthy living choices."
I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. It may be different depending on your needs, but never go under 1200! Whatever you do, don't let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don't forget, that's what I do.
You'll never get to your "ideal" body by eating crap food and sitting around, no matter how much you want it to happen. It takes dedication to get the body you want! Make it like a game. How much weight can I lose? Prove it to yourself you DO have the willpower to get what you want.
But allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the "good foods", you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!
One more thing: Once you do become thinner, DON'T think you can eat whatever you want now! You'll regain all the weight back, which is absolutely mortifying, especially after all the hard work to lose it.
If your boyfriend is surprising you with cruises, he probably already likes the way you look, so don't be so hung up on your body!
Good luck! Hope that helps (:
ALSO: Sitting up straight burns more calories than slouching. Try it!
Okay so you have 5 weeks Right?
Let me ask you a couple questions
how much weight do you want to lose?
Are you looking to lose weight without having to diet or exercise ?
Are you looking for something to help eliminate random cravings? Or stop overeating?
How fast are you looking to lose weight?
Do you carry most of your weight around the middle?
I understand what your looking for something that can help you lose weight a little faster than diet and exercise. Diet and exercise works but if you need to start losing weight like next week .
Cause you could start using a Caloric restrictor that automatically restricts the amount of calories in your body.
These caloric restictors even work without diet or exercise and even eliminates cravings for foods.
But if you do diet and exercise you will see even better results! In fact I know people that lose 105 pounds in 5 months and 20 pounds in a month.
So you can still eat your regular foods but you'll take in less calories and start losing a few pounds a week. Is that what your looking for?
The one I'm using I take 2 pills twice a day before i eat and I notice it reduces my appetite and its helped me burn the fat of my tummy and mainly my middle section.
Plus its made with vitamins and herbs. Even if you want some free information on this caloric restrictor check http://www.akavarpills.com
Hope this helps
