Hi,

I'm 18 years old, around 5' 10 and ~17 stone (240 pounds). My weight is really knocking down my confidence and I'm beginning to find it hard to talk to people at all.

I have no idea what the best methods to lose weight would be, so I'm here to ask for some advice. An ideal method would be extremely rapid and require casual exercise (I'm really not confident enough to use a gym). It's getting to the point where I really don't care anymore, so I'll do anything that will result in me getting over this problem (pills, detox, etc). Since I live in the UK, it must be available there.

Also I was considering going on a diet of just fruit and not eating anything else along with taking some dieting pills from Ebay. Has anyone tried this, does it work?

Thanks so much,
Rob

I find it hard to believe that there are still people out there willing to try shortcuts when there's so much proof and information out there proving these types of things don't work.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt (while still being amazed) and assume you've never used the internet before or talked to anyone sensible in your life about dieting.

Fast off fast on is pretty common.

What if you could lose all your excess weight tomorrow?

That would be great, right?

Now what if it all came back the very next day?

All of a sudden all that immediate weight loss isn't so great and special.

Right?

Hopefully you get my point.

Give the forum the respect it deserves by reading through the stickies found at the tops of the various subforums. The 'words of wisdom' thread would be a great starting place for you.

You say you are so desperate that you are willing to try anything... what have you tried already that has made you so very desperate? I really am curious.

It should never be a diet, it should always be a life style change. There is no quick way to lose weight that is effective, becuase if there was, no body would be fat.

Casual exercise is good. Do jump roping, or just go for an hour walk every few days.

You can't live off of a diet of just fruit, you need other sources of nutrition. Try counting calories, its a good way for you to understand what you are putting in your body, and you don't nesscarily have to give up your favorite foods, just watch the amount you eat.

Or you might want to join a weight loss group. You get the support you need for people going on the same journey as you, and they generally have easier means to losing weight than by counting calories.

Though you can't lose a ton of weight fast, you will, as long as you keep up with it, lose weight. Time flies by, and before you know it, you are at your goal. I've only been losing weight for not even 3 months, and i have lost over 30 pounds, which is 9 pounds away from my first goal, and half way from my second.

I hope this helps.

And listen to steve, he knows what he's talking about

if you want a quick fix.. get a gastric bypass and liposuction..

if you want to fix it the same way you made this problem, slowly and over time. then eat properly and workout and train, and build muscle.. steve knows his shit..

If you are sincerely serious about losing weight, then you must be ready to add this weight loss tips to your lifestyle.

If you must lose weight and look the way you want, you must speed up your metabolism. Your metabolism is responsible for the breakdown of nutrients in your bloodstream. It adds more lean muscle to your body which results in increase expenditure of your energy. Means you will get rid of more fat in record time.

You have billions if not trillions of cells in your body system that can use up as much energy as possible provided you are active. The weight loss tips listed below will help you do this. But if you are not active it would not burn much fat which means you have a tendency to add more fat than burnt.

Fortunately, using this simple yet effective weight loss tips inconjuction with healthy and active exercise you will speed up your metabolism.

Here we go

Tip #1 : Be selective in your eating. Some food additives, like spices, can help fasten your metabolism by creating a thermodynamic burn that has been proved to last several hours after you eat.

Tip #2: Be time curious. Most of your calories should come very early in the day. You meals should contain less amount of calories as the day goes on. Make sure you eat little or nothing at all after you dinner. But make sure you don’t skip meals. Eat at least 4-6 small meals each day rather than the normal 3 big meals.

Tip #3 : Eat enough. The biggest mistake dieters make is trying to eat far lesser than their body needs. If you don’t give your body the proper amount of calories, your body gets into a false survival mode ( this can also be call starvation mode). When your body gets into the survival mode it reserve or conserves energy in preparation for a possible long starvation period.

On the opposite side of this, eating far to many calories will make the body store or save the excess which it does not need as fat. You need lots of exercising so as to burn more fat than your body stores. Therefore, moderation is the key when it comes to calorie intake.

Tip #4: Learn to increase your daily activities. If you must prevent fat storage and burn the excess fat that you might be carry in your body, you must increase your daily activities in terms of exercise.

This must include endurance and cardiovascular training. The key is, the more calories you burn, the more your chances of losing weight. Very simple. A little increase in lean muscle mass in turn results to serious increase in fat burning.

You must also try to exercise first thing in the morning after your morning prayers. Research shows you can dramatically enhance your fat burning ability if you exercise regularly in the morning after the night rest.

Tip #5 : Make sure you do weight lifting before engaging in any cardiovascular work. The only exception of course is to perform 5 - 10 minutes of cardio before your weight training in order to warm up your muscles.

This aspect is very important due largely to the fact that your body needs lots of energy in your muscles before weight training can take place. By the time you finish your weight training session you must have used up all the prefered energy sources.

This simply implies that you will be burning more fat cells during your cardio sessions.

But in the reverse of the above you will only be burning your carbohydrate sources of energy during cardiovascular sessions. No fat cell or cell is or are burnt or used up for energy in this situation and you will not have enough energy in your muscles, which are needed in order to get the best out of your weight training.

importantly, you will not increase your lean muscle, which is an unavoidable part if you must lose weight.

Tip # 6 : Change your exercise routine regularly. You must learn to change your exercise routine at least every 2-3 weeks. This could be a change in the number of reps or sets per exercise. It is the exercise order your perform and the exercises themselves.

Doing the same thing over and over again for a long period will make your body adapt and start to get use to what you do regularly and will eventually take it as normal and stop making changes. This also means you will stop adding more lean muscles.

One thing you must know is that the more muscles you have the more you burn calories, even when sleeping.

Tip # 7: Your Meal compositions or combinations. Always eat protein/carbohydrate meals in the morning. Eat protein/ fat combination meals ( this means lesser or no carbohydrates) late in the afternoon or evening.

The only exception is if you normally exercise in the evening. Then your first meal after your workout should consist of protein and carbohydrates.

Don’t make the mistake of eating carbohydrate and fat together in the same meal.

These 7 weight loss tips will help fasten or speed up your metabolism and burn excess and unwanted fat at a much faster rate.

Try these fast weight loss tips out for a while and you’ll notice a difference after a couple of weeks.
