Answers:
Lol, I completely understand, and just for the record, I lost 40 pounds within 4 months (I started in january) on the South Beach Diet along with working out for about an hour a day 5 days a week!.

First you need to find out what your Resting Metabolic Rate is!. This tells you how many calories your body burns daily, without any activity!. Once you find this, undercut this number by 200 and that, along with the calories that you burn during daily activity (usually an additional 1000 or more) will give you a daily calorie deficit, therefore resulting in weight loss!.

If you cut calories lower than this your body will not be able to burn as effectively!. If you want to lose more weight do more exercise as opposed to not eating your daily calories!. The body is like a fire!.!.it you don't give it enough fuel it won't burn!.

You should try to get in at least 30-45 mins of exercise 4-5 days a week (walking counts) and cut the sugar and refined carbs (white bread, potatoes) from your diet!. Eat 4-6 small meals a day and don't drink your calories unless it's in the form of skim milk!. Drink lots of water!.

Good luck!!!

First of all, my best suggestion is to learn to eat healthy!.
http://www!.easy-weightloss-tips!.com/eat-!.!.!.
That means understand the food pyramid, the food groups, the recommended servings, etc!. That is how you should eat for life! If you eat that way and have 3 small, healthy meals a day and 2 small, healthy snacks, you will lose weight!. Each meal should be less than 400 calories and each snack should be about 100-150 calories!. Eating highly nutritious foods is the key, so think in terms of lean protein, veggies, whole-grains, fruits, low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy oils!.

The second option is to do a short-term "drastic diet" that is designed to last for 2 weeks max!. This would take off the most weight rapidly!. There are several on the site under "Diet Plans" but my favorite is the 5-4-3-2-1 diet!.

You get to pick what you eat, but you're going to want to pick highly nutritious foods to keep your metabolism working efficiently!. Again, the "eat healthy" page can help you determine what highly nutritious foods are, if you need help with that!. If you go on the short-term diet, then once it's over, follow the guidelines on the "eat healthy" page!.

Make water your main source of hydration and save the sweet drinks (even diet) for special occasions!. Eliminate as much salt and sugar from your diet as you can!.

The biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout!. You will want to make sure you do a good cardio workout every day for weight loss (3 times a week is sufficient to maintain health)!. Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories!. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively!. Think in terms of
power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks!. To make sure that you're burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing!. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training!.

you don't need to starve yourself to lose wieght!. infact sometimes, you need to eat more protein, to burn the fat!
for a workable diet -
here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet!. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad!. this fills u up!. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent carb!. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category!. 25 per cent protein!.this will prevent cravings too!.an occassional treat is OK!. have a snack every three hours!. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts!. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs!. have a protein shake too, if you want!. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise!. switch from white rice and bread to brown!. eat 900gms of veggies a day!.Needless to say, NO soda, chips, cookies! Lose a kilo a week!. that is permanent loss!. pick an exercise regime you like!.
