What are the best ways to lose weight?

Hi BetterDays4me, welcome to mylot I only do zumba and a little gym and walk/run every day,lessen my food intake and decipline of eating too much junk food. Indeed hard to lose weight and I'm glad that it work with me fine haha.

Cheer OP !! I am in the opposite situation.I have to gain weight. I don't think eating five to six small meals a day can help loosing weight..I've been suggested to do so to gain weight..What on earth is the truth???

Eat lots of vegetables and foods rich in fiber. Drink lots of water instead of some juices and soft-drinks that may have more sugar than what you usually eat for dessert. I don't recommend exercising too much like sprinting and stuff that'll make you sweat too much because if you stop the exercise, you'll gain more than what you usually lose because you tend to burn more energy...so you need to eat more thus the doubling of your size if you stop. Eat less meat and poultry or foods rich in fats...yeah, you should minimize the use of oil in your food. You can eat fish for the protein instead of meat. Hmm...what else? Why not walk for 30 minutes? When I say walk I mean speed-walking. At least this worked for me. But it's not because I want to lose weight. It was more because I have to keep myself healthy. Have a nice say and Happy MyLotting!

Wow! the list of weight loss techniques seem good and effective. If only I could summon my discipline, I could follow your advice. Unfortunately, I tend to break my healthy routine and start exercising less and less and eating more and more. What I do now to keep me healthy is walk the dog, play with my children, drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and keep good company. So far, I have maintained my weight within the range of my height, age, body fat.

My dear Betterdays First of all, let's be practical about weight loss. This overweight business is a sign of something is wrong with you at least in the concept of looking good. You should get right with your purpose in life. Most overweight use this weight loss thing as an escapism. Plain and simple. Another thing is do you need to lose weight. Don't believe in charts or suggestion from others. As long as you are happy and healthy with your weight than its better to maintain your current weight. Meaning to keep yourself fit and best of all mentally sound. That's my comment for now! Thanks. Love: Bro. Joe. GBU

I actually run at least one hour a day because running can extremely efficient way to burn calories and drop pounds. A 150 pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. And if you cannot make it every day tries to have it done 3-4 times per week. I hope this will help you, Keep it going :):):)

Whatever we do ,if we can`t persist for a long time ,everything doesn`t work !haha

Losing weight is not easy but it is done if you are patient with your goal: reduce some kg in a month. You should eat more vegetables instead of eating meat or fat food as before. Drink water whenever you desire to eat something out of 3 main meals in a day. When eating, better you eat slowly then you wont eat till you are too full. Don't eat snack or cake, etc when you are watching TV, try to avoid sweet food such as candy, sweet cakes,etc.. One more thing, you should do exercise everyday, running, playing tennis. Swimming is also good for you to reduce your weight too and make your body look nicer.

The only thing that has worked for me is going running 4 days a week. It's brutal way to lose weight and if there's a nice forest nearby, you'll always get back fresh and feeling healthy !

I think the best ways to loose weight is to follow a balanced diet and exercise n regular basis.It works with everybody of course every body is different so it may take more time to loose weight for some than others.But it is really difficult to maintain the routine everyday doing the same thing.One should try alternate methods of exercise.

I was considered as chubby soon to be fat before, but now everything has changed;). Losing weight requires discipline and a concern for your body. I never stop eating my favorite foods but there are lots of things I added for losing my weight. Drink water before meal, it will help make full very quick. Dance, don't just exercise, dance and feel the beat of the music. Change your interests, instead of food, spend it in other things. Finishing your work will do a lot;). Avoid too much softdrinks and junk foods. Love veggies and fruits, your body needs them. Well, I have this ultimate secret too, I stopped, I mean stopped eating meat fats and that's it, I lose weight;)..

There have been many books and articles written and even videos made on the best way to lose weight. The weight loss industry is a big money machine. With this entire hullabaloo about weight loss, the most effective way of losing weight is simply living the way you are meant to; by eating healthy and working your body enough. There is no magic to it.
