Answers:
40lbs is a lot of weight to lose, especially in two months. I know. I managed to lose 48lbs in just over 6 months. That was two and a half years ago. I have since then been able to maintain my weight with ease.

Unfortunately, there is no magic formula when it comes to quick weight loss. Lose the weight too quickly, and it will be much harder to keep the weight off. The weight did not go on over night and it won't come off over night.

I lost weight by eating a healthy balanced, low fat diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. I also embarked on regular exercise. I took up running. The results were amazing.

But one thing you have to remember if you do manage to reach your realistic target weight. You CANNOT go back to your old eating habits and activity levels. Otherwise all the weight which was lost, will just pile back on again. It is as simple as that.

Try to keep all JUNK FOODS, ready made meals, sugary fizzy drinks, alcohol, and takeaway meals to an absolute minimum. These are high in refined sugar and full of saturated fat. The two main ingredients which are responsible for that extra weight gain. Junk food is just what it says - JUNK. With one added ingredient in - FAT

Try to MOVE as MUCH as YOU CAN. EXERCISE will really help to acelerate your weight loss.

Although exercise is beneifical regardless of your diet. However, 80% of your physique is a result of what you eat. 20% is diet.

Good Luck.Health Question & Answer

If you have some $$$ and are willing to give 110%, you can make a huge difference in your body in two months time.

First, join a gym.

Second, start a healthy eating plan.

For the gym, you're going to want to lift weight 3x a week and do cardio 5x a week.

For healthy eating:

Cut out ALL junk food...which includes:

White flour products:
Bread
Cereal
Noodles
Pastries

Fried and Fatty Foods:
Chips
Fries
Mayo and butter
etc.

Sugar:
Candy
Granola bars
Cereal
Coffee drinks
etc.

You're going to want to eat about 1,200 calories a day, divided into 6 x 200 calorie snacks / meals...this keeps your metabolism at full boil.

Example:

Breakfast:
3x egg whites, 1 slice no flour organic toast, 1/2 cup skim cottage cheese
Snack:
20 almonds
Lunch:
Turkey/Chicken breast 3oz on the same no flour organic bread and a side salad with a low cal italian dressing
Snack:
String cheese
Dinner:
Grilled / baked chicken breast or tenderloins, 1 serving brown rice, side salad
Snack:
Jerky (not a pepperoni stick), cottage, almonds etc., your choice

You can also supplement with whey protein shakes.

If you get a craving for junk food, eat a single taco or burger BEFORE you go to the gym.

It's hard to make a drastic change, but after 2 weeks and you've lost 10lbs, it gets easy.Health Question & Answer

I think you may want to think twice about losing such a big amount of weight over such a short period of time. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it will be unhealthy and unsustainable weight loss.

You should be looking to lose around 2lbs a week, because you can do so healthily, and without the use of "secret" pills and potions. They do work - until you stop taking them - and with the undesirable side effects they can have, it's simply not worth it!

I would recommend that you look to find a good sustainable diet program, which will help you to lose weight healthily, slowly and for the long term. One such diet could be "Strip That Fat", but there's other diets out there to help you.

The website below gives you an honest review of 5 best selling online diet programs, which are all instantly available. What's more - due to their 60-day money back guarantees - you can basically try them for free for 8 weeks.

I'm sure one of them will fit your needs, and I wish you the best of luck achieving the weight you want to be.Health Question & Answer

If you want to stay in shape, you need to adopt healthy eating habits and make exercise a part of your daily life.

How to start.?

Choose exercises you enjoy according to your fitness level. Aerobics exercises move the muscles fairly continuously and strengthen the heart and lungs. Examples of such activities are brisk walking, jogging, aerobic dancing, swimming, badminton, cycling and football.

If you have not exercised for a long time or just started, start slowly and increase gradually over a period of 3 to 6 weeks.

For those who are above 35 years old, overweight, or have medical problems, you need to check with a medical doctor before you embark on an exercise programme.

Frequency or How often.?

Exercise for at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week or more

Intensity and duration.?

Do exercise until you perspire and breathe deeply without getting breathless. You should be able to talk or whistle while exercising.

Do warm up and stretch for at least 5 minutes before exercise. also not to forget to cool down and stretch after exercise.

I uncovered some splendid advice by learning from the website in the box below, they have plenty of instruction, I lost 7 pounds by following their helpful advice.Health Question & Answer

Eat slowly, this tricks your brain into thinking you've eaten more than you really have. Don't eat for comfort. Read the labels and watch out for high sugar/fat content. Even products that say low fat can be high in sugar. No junk foods!
Kickstart your metabolism with an early morning workout. Have a bigger breakfast than you do dinner. Lot's of leafy greens.
If you find you are lacking energy take a natural amino acid tablet that you can buy from supermarkey/pharmacy/health food shop is Lysine.
It's actually for treatment of cold sores but i always take it if i havn't had much sleep it works a charm.
Aim to do cardio (Walking/jogging/skipping- try to mix it up a bit. Get that blood pumping!) Start off with walking for 40 mins and gradually increase the time.
A good exercise routine is to do 30 min warm up walk or bikeride, skipping for 5-10 mins, jogging for 10 mins, as long as you keep changing what your doing so you don't get bored and your body doesn't become accustomed to it..
Every second day do crunches (there are so many different ways) and stamina/weight lifting reps. Your body will burn more fat if you gain some muscle. Though muscle does weight you down you will still look toned. You don't need to get bulky, it's the repetition that counts.
Don't forget whilst doing crunches to exhale when going up and inhale when you are going back down.
Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep so you don't get run down.
Goodluck!Health Question & Answer

Main cause being overweight is due to the consumption of junk food and food rich in calories, fats and carbohydrates. Another factor that leads to obesity is lack of exercise which is complemented by excessive intake of food rich in fat, carbohydrates and calories. To burn calorie, one has to exercise vigorously everyday and eat wholesome, natural foods in five or so small meals a day. A good weight-loss diet includes lean proteins, such as chicken breast; legumes, such as split peas and lentils; and whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Generally it is advised to reduce weight naturally by burning the fat in the body through exercise regimen and by eating healthy diets.
