The best way to loose weight is to go on a complete fruit and vegetable diet for at least two months and you will definitely find out good results and you would have lost almost 5to7 kilos and yes workout is also important.

Interesting but I've been told if we don't have a specific vitamin in our bodys that we get from meat we get sick is that no true? I like brocolli but can't find a good way of cooking it otherwise id eat that veggie everyday! But what I've really been wanting to eat has been baked potatos mmm gooood but due to my calorie count I'm limited 2 specific types of food like chicken, chicken is very low in calories and it fills you up pretty quick a fruit doesn't really fill me like chicken but I'm willing to try an all fruit diet and veggie diet if I don't get sick thaat is! =D

Not to worry fruits and vegetables contain all the vitamins and you should not leave workout and just go on this diet and you will surely loose some kilos and then you will appreciate me.

Congratulations, Your weight loss efforts are paying off. However, I am looking at how you are losing the way and what your diet consist of; they say that your diet should be realistic, something that you will stick with forever, because one you start add back the foods that you have missed because you cut them out of your diet, you will quickly gain back the weight plus more. I have been there, so I just eat in moderation, and of course really have eliminate certain things from my diet, and exercise is an absolute must. No matter how I try to lose weight and keep it off, if the exercise is not include, I can just forget it. I wish you much success on your quest to losing the weight. Where there is a will there is a way; so as if you are really dedicated to the cause, so you will be successful.

Congratulations! 11 pounds in four weeks is quite a feat! Ideally, a person should lose 2 pounds per week. Obviously, you lost more than that, so I really hope you keep it up. You might also want to start measuring your waist, hips and other parts of your body. You'll really appreciate it once you see that you've been losing inches too. I'm saying this because if you continue with your exercise program and at some point you decide to lift weights, you will gain muscles and muscles actually weigh heavier than fat. So, you might think that you are not losing weight but it's only because you're gaining muscles. So, if this is the situation, it's best to monitor your body in inches as well. Good luck!

Thank you! I think your right I'm going to have to start measuring myself at first my w ork pants size 36 fit snug on me and were hard to fasten but now I can easily button and fasten them with my shirt tucked in! So that's a great thing for me specially since my pants don't pinch my waist anymore lol also having my shirt not be so tight on my belly is a great feeling but I know I have a long way to go and I'm thinking about starting to lift weights but like you said about muscle being heavier than fat I don't want to discourage myself by seeing my weight increase. I weighed myself again today and I'm down two more pounds woohoo lol when I reach 250 I will start to believe this diet is working lol

Hello there, how I wish you could give me some of those pounds. I am your opposite. I had been struggling to gain weight too but unfortunately not a pound is added to my weight. I am a rice eater, not a single day that I do not eat rice, of course with viand. I exercise and sleep well but it seems I stay slim until now! haaaaaay ! ! ! Anyway good for you because you have done great with your weight goal!

Hey lol take all the weight you need! I have plenty to give! Lol but thank you for the good words! What kinda rice do you eat? Maybe that's your secret! Lol but hey have you tried drinking protein shakes to gain weight? Those work slowly over time it might work for you. Mind if I ask what viand is? I need your secret to stay slim! Lol oh hey also why are you trying to gain weight? What's so bad about your current weight?

Hi George, That is an amazing progress, make sure you're keeping it safe though. Do not starve yourself, as the more your exercise the more your body will want food for energy. Make sure to stay clear from animal fat, that is the most dangerous type of fat and is the hardest to get rid of. Do not be shy to egg yolk, as you need fat to get rid of fat. Also on your workout routine, I suggest to have a 10 minute cardiovascular work out to begin with, and stretch properly afterwards this will count as your warm up. Do Resistance and weight training afterwards, then follow up with pure cardiovascular. Your body will continue to burn calories due to the weight training/lifting in addition to the calories you burn with pure cardiovascular, it is a very simply technique that works. Also don't forget to stretch properly, don't rush through them, and breathe with them. For your meal, i suggest high anti-oxidant foods, as their are hidden weight in your body that has build up over the ears, that your body has not properly gotten rid of. So eats lots of berries. Pro biotic yogurts also aid this process. Try to eat less milk, and more almonds for calcium source. Keep up the good work. I also highly suggest the "gracie diet" they have a strict outline on what to eat. If you are unfamiliar with the gracie's, they are a very famous jujitsu family, more notably, the creators of Brazilian jujitsu.

Oh wow the jujitsu family! I want to learn that type of martial art as soon as I slim down. I've never heard of probiotic yogurt where can I buy that? Trader joes? I don't have much milk in my diet I drink meal replacement shakes almost every morning for breakfast since I don't have lunch till 12 pm considering my work schedule but that is a good plan I'm going to have to start incorporating those work out technices into my routine it sounds like a real good fatburning method! Thank you for those ideas! Ill be sure to look into the gracie diet move over bruce lee ima comming! Lol
