What's the best way to lose weight in a healthy way?

You're going to likely get answers fitting into two categories: those that believe the calorie/low fat method, and those, who having tried that route religiously and had it fail, have turned to the 150-year-old method of low carb, which has now been backed up by various fields, from endocrinology to lipidology to oncology. Low carb is not a fad: it was first recommended in the 1800's and is what was standard treatment for overweight until the 60's, when the first book about cutting fat and calories was published. Guess when the percentage of overweight people first started rising?

Of course, whatever you pick, you're going to need to get active in a way that's enjoyable and sustainable for you. If you're far north, that might be cross-country skiing. Or you might need to be indoors, or you may have a beach to run along.

Or maybe you like team sports. Just keep trying at finding something that feels right to you.

The most healthy way is to: 1. Commit to yourself that you'll do whatever it takes, for 6 months 2. Stop eating junk food and start eating more fruits and vegetables 3.

Go to the gym 3 times a week, in the morning (to burn more calories), for at least 2 hours (I do 3 hours per session) 4. Do half an hour of cardio at the beginning and half an hour at the end of your training 5. Work specific groups of muscles, men usually work the upper part of the body, while women work the lower part more (the legs) Dieting it's only 20% of the process, it works only if you do it while you're going to the gym.

My 5 suggestions: - Exercise daily - Motivate yourself to lose wait and remind yourself why you're doing it. - Maintain a healthy and stable diet, avoid fast foods - keep at it, you won't lose a large amount of weight in a few days or even weeks sometimes - Get outside for walks, or find something type of physical activity that you can commit to that gets your body moving and energy flowing. I play soccer in the summer on a team and hockey in the winter.

Sometimes I don't want to, but I made a commitment and the team is depending on me so I have to attend.

Different things work for different people. The key is, if you stick to one diet faithfully and it doesn't work for you, switch to a different plan. There's always another one.

I'm sure you've heard of so many people that have been on low carb plans and have had it work. I was on a high carb plan, and it's the only one that worked for me. I ate so much bread during that time, and I lost the last five pounds that I wasn't able to lose quickly.

I will describe my diet here. My trick to eating less wasn't just to eat smaller meals. I didn't intentionally say I would eat fewer times during the day.My trick was to WAIT as much as possible between meals.

The difference between this and saying I'm eating fewer meals is that, if I'm eating fewer meals then I'm not listening to my body, so I'm not eating when my body says it's starving. Some days I would eat eight times, other days I would eat three. I don't eat snacks to "tie me over" to the next meal, because my next meal is whenever I'm really HUNGRY.

When I'm really hungry and I can't wait anymore, I have a small plate of FOOD, NOT a snack. Finally, I'm allowed to eat as much fruit as I want, no matter when. I'm also allowed to eat bread if it's part of my meal and the meal stays small.

Exercise is also important. It keeps your metabolism up. Try doing a couple of push ups after every meal.

Over the last 4 years I have lost 65 pounds. One keystone was exercise. I consistently walk 10 to 15 miles a week.It wasn't easy to get started, but with support from my sweetie, I've kept it up.

The second key was that I had to change my diet. If you have bad eating habits they can catch up with you. For me being forced to meet with a dietician was the best thing that could have happened to me.

We discussed the options and settled on a low carb diet. However that doesn't just mean cutting carbs, that can be dangerous.It means analyzing how many carbs you have to have per meal each day (and snacks). I can't have too many or too little.

It was a new way of thinking of food and my sweetie had to buy into it too. The first time we went shopping it took almost two hours to look at the nutrition labels. But after a while I started to catch on to the basics and now it's almost second nature.

I do get to blow it once a month because I'm doing well and I've learned what dining out options work for me. The key though was getting a plan for exercise and meeting with a dietician. And amazingly enough most health insurance will cover the dietician part.

It's all about blood sugar. When you get a blood sugar spike, you store fat. That's how it happens.

Therefore, stabilizing you blood sugar is the first step. How do you do this? Eat a meal every 3-4 hours comprised of the following: 400 calories: 40g protein, 40g carbs, 10g fats.3-5g sugar (no more!) Eat *natural* foods -- this makes a difference.

Processed foods become fat easier. Then, exercise. Here's how you do that: a) Start by lifting weights.

Yes, I know. You didn't expect that one. Here's why: fat is burned in the muscular-skeletal system.

You need to 'recruit some muscles' to burn the fat first. You do this by spending ~15 minutes lifting -- but not heavy weights. Lift lighter, but do more reps.

2 seconds on the contraction, then 3 seconds on the negative. B) Do some cardio. But don't sprint or do this 'hard'.

Fat is burned when you are at simmer, if you will. You should be able to speak easily while you do your cardio. A good exercise is walking on a treadmill at a 15% incline, speed set for how winded you feel.

C) Don't drink. Alcohol messes with your blood sugar -- makes it plunge. This results in your being hungry AND when you eat, more of it gets stored as fat.

(This is because your body thinks you're starving). D) Don't starve yourself! No no no no no.

Yes, you will lose weight, but again, this will plunge your blood sugar and when you DO eat, the effect will be the same as "c" above -- you'll put on weight. E) Be patient -- and measure your bodyfat with calipers if possible so you can see your progress. Even when you can't see it directly, calipers will tell the tale.

If you belong to a gym, they generally will have someone there who can do this. F) It's more diet than exercise.Really.

Many ways to lose weight introduce a simple method of weight-loss method can be 3 apples. Instructions: eat apples for three days, do not eat fruits and other foods; can follow the time to eat three meals a day apple, or hungry, eat, eat up; no matter what type of apple can, however, it is best red Apple.

Diet and exercise. It might help to use a spreadsheet program like Excel for a couple of weeks to first map out your current calorie intake and activity level. Then start trimming the calories and along the way increase your activity.

Then you can have the pleasant experience of using its charting capability to plot out your decreased calorie intake against hopefully decreased weight.

This can't be answered in a useful way here. But, I can recommend my favorite diet book.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
