Does anyone know any good diets/work-outs?

I made a bet with my friend that i can get a 24 inch waist in about 2 weeks. i am currently a 26 inch so it wont be too hard. but does anyone know any home workouts? I have been doing squats, sit-ups, push-ups, and planks, but is there any other ones you would recommend? i dont have time to go to the gym or anything, and as for food, i dont really know what i can or cant eat. food has never really affected my weight but i wont mind trying anything new :) thanks!

How to Fast to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Exercise won't be of much help. Because you're racing against the clock, your best bet will be to lose as much fat as possible. That means cutting back the calories to about 1000 per day. Then, 48 hours prior to measuring, limit your intake (volume) while encouraging the elimination of water and waste. You can do that by eating some high fiber foods a few days before the end while cutting back on sodium and consuming some caffeine for it's diuretic potential.Be careful to avoid dehydration up to the last 24 hours. Make sure your urine is a pale straw color. Don't try to eat high protein foods and don't take any supplements. Just eat a good and proper diet but keep the portion low so your daily caloric intake is less than 1000 calories.The key to fat loss is not exercise, it's diet.Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet. Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn but you can't always burn as many as you take in.Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success. An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness. If you want to keep the fat you lose off, then read the following.To find out how the best minds in nutrition in the world (at the US NIH) have recommended for decades we lose fat, read my answer about how to lose fat --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As615QJM4X_3ID9_05qmmlXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111028185603AAVcP4D It's much easier to lose inches than pounds. Measure in an inaccurate process anyway because you're measuring something that change from moment to moment as the food passes through the GI tract and as body water volume changes with hydration, hormonal variations (menses), and elimination.Good luck and good health!!♠PS: Here are some good websites you may find useful.• A MUST FOR DIETERS http://www.freedieting.com/• BEST DIET TOOL ON THE WEB http://www.myfitnesspal.com/• BEST FOODS FOR YOU http://www.choosemyplate.gov/index.html• NUTRITION DOT GOV http://www.nal.usda.gov/food-and-nutrition
