Lots of these fad diets are crap honestly. The best way I found is not that starve yourself stuff... you just gotta work with your body.

Eating like 6 meals a day spaced 3 hours apart (like 300 calories or so each) enabled me to lose 12lbs in a month... which is very impressive when I was 170lbs to start with and dropped to 158 @ 6foot tall, though I did also work out at a gym a good bit. Spacing meals like this ups your metabolism.

Don't eat bad stuff. And don't drink bad drinks. Just water or occasional diet soda (I liked pepsi one when I was removing my chubbyness). And of course exercise. You can fit atleast one hour of exercise into your schedule every day. Now, I just eat 3 meals a day, rarely having a snack and I'm almost too skinny (140 @ 5'10").

Do you drink pop?

I was 202 at spring zing (im 5 10). Shortly after, I gave up pop and lost 10 lbs in a month....

That plus exercise = 175 now.

You could lose 15 pounds in 5 days if you'd like here's how
MIND YOU THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS
Tricks I learned wrestling, NCAA style!

1. Eat very little, I always went by the wieght of my food for the last few days of my weight loss regiment.

2. Watch your water intake. Ice cubes and popsicles are your friends.

3. Workout Workout Workout x3 When I was in wrestling trim I would work out in the morning for 60 minutes on a treadmill/bike/stair climber etc. Do a 2 hour practice, then jog up and down the dorm stairs (6 stories), in a sauna suit for about 30 minutes before going to bed.

4. Last day don't drink or eat anything, if you still need to lose some weight, get out the good old sauna suit, warm up the lockerroom sauana throw in a stationary bike and bike for about 30 minutes (or jog, do jumping jacks etc.) even sitting in the suana with all that crap on will lose somethin, You should lose about 3-5 pounds.

5. If you're really desperate, spit all the time, you'll lose a pound or two just doing that.

6. The last night, you will not be able to sleep, all you'll be thinking about is food an water, this is where ice cubes can come in handy, as you can suck on a few trays of cubes and you won't really gain much weight.

7. Do not combine this regime with creatine, ephidren or any other supplement/metabolizer, that really makes things dangerous as they tend to dehydrate your body even more then you're already doing so.

Now I can't say enough that looking back this was extremely stupid for me to do at that time. So take this all with extreme caution, one thing when I was wrestling I was in extremely good shape, if your not in good shape, this will be much more difficult as your metabolism won't be able to burn fat/water as easily as one who is.
Also one last thing, you will gain all this weight back very quickly if you cut your weight this way, you're mostly losing water weight. So it comes back fairly quickly.

Get bronchitis and get over it, then get a relapse thats worse then first case. It does wonders for weight.



Seriously though, below is the best advice:

you could stick to a routine, cardio + muscle simultaneously will lead to quicker results. Eating healthy like salads is good, however you need to ensure your body gets the right amount of suppliments (because you're starving yourself if you don't eat adequately). Try using vitamin and protein supplements as well as eating the right amount of food (suggested intake for each food group). Avoid splurging, and over eating. Snack on fruits and veggies and do not use oil or anything fried.

I'd also add to the above, eat more times. If possible try to have 4 or 5 smaller meals a day rather then 3 larger ones, or the famous huge dinner at night with snacks throughout the day.

It's all in watching what you eat, moderation and being active.

You don't even need to join a gym. Do push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups (if you have something to grab onto) and lunges or squats with just your body weight a couple times a week, that will help out.

One word:

Dysentery.

tapeworms baby! TAPEWORMS!

how bout cutting the weight in a sauna? See them do it all the time on the ultimate fighter show.

Half hour aerobic exercise everyday. Running or walking fast or bicycling. The best no-impact (to joints) exercise is swimming.
