How To Lose Weight Fast and Safely

Recommended Answer:
So many people (especially on this site in this category) are under the impression that all you have to do is exercise like crazy at the gym to lose weight -- NOT TRUE AT ALL. I have lost 85 pounds (going from 220 to 135) with hardly exercising until recently.

It is truly all about diet. The exercise just makes it EASIER to lose if you have a difficult time keeping your caloric intake in check. Figure out your BMR, calculate in your daily activity level, then drop that number by 500-1000 calories to lose weight. It should be around 1200-1500 calories a day.

Count your calories diligently using a tracker (like MyFitness Pal) and switch to low calorie foods. Thing egg whites instead of whole eggs, sugar free maple syrup instead of regular, an americano instead of a latte, mustard instead of mayo, low calorie bread instead of rolls, fat free dressing instead of regular. You get the picture.

There aren''t any foods you have to "stay away from" to lose weight. You just have to count your calories!

• Join a Zumba club or if your two embarrassed then get a Zumba DVD for you to do at home
• Drinking water before, during, and after you eat a meal can give your stomach a sense of fullness. Drinking cold water will make your body use energy to heat your body up, making you use sugar into energy instead of fat. Stay away from drinking sodas because they have too much sugar in them. Even Coke Zero will not help because your body cannot tell between the substitute of sugars they use from actual sugar. Avoid sweets and things with corn syrup in them, because if you are not going to run, the sugar will turn into fat instead of energy to be burned. Donuts, hamburgers, and french fries should be avoided completely, unless you made them without the use of oils.
• Eat better. I have not run a foot and lost 30 pounds in past 2 months.
• Try going on a raw food diet for a month! :) Buy a calendar (to get you started) and everyday you stick to your diet (which should be everyday) cross it off with an X! Once you''ve completed to diet look in the mirror and check if you see a difference (which you will).
  
  Besides the diet, drink LOTS of water. From 6-8 glasses a day :) just don''t over drink if you feel sick hahaha :)
  
  And get the niketraining app! It''s free, tracks your progress and minutes, and requires no running.
  
  Good luck!! Answer my latest question?(:
• Avoid processed foods, fast foods, fried foods, anything in these categories; You would be surprised how much you lose and how your cravings for fast food diminish after a while. Also, stay away from sugary drinks. Just limit it, im not saying go pro-water, but look at the nutritional value and if one serving for a 12 or 24 oz bottle has 24g of sugar then you may want to avoid that drink. Personally, I drink milk, for the nutrition, coconut water, all natural drink sugar free (yet still tastes sweet), and water. Although I can''t lie, I drink hot chocolate often. Adding a "bad" food to your diet only helps if eaten in moderation, it helps with craving control.
  
  P.s. It''s usually the drinks that kill a diet, so especially watch out for the content of a drink.
  
  Hope this helps
• French fries, potato chips, cake cookies, cinnamon rolls, donuts, pizza, ice cream. I could go on and on but you know what junk foods are, just don''t eat them. Eat mostly vegetables, a lot less meat. Add fruits to satisfy your sweet tooth.
  
  You have to run a long way to make up for all the junk food. It''s easier just to eat better and run less.
