I need to lose 10 to 15 lbs pretty fast. I used to be anorexic so I don't want to do that and I am not allowed to use supplements so I need a diet plan or exersice plan.

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.

If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which

will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow

underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without

exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For

diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food

after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on

your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If

you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey

cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your

diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to

calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,

start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the

most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a

lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,

disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target

your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a

bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you

to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

You can do it in a healthy way, in a couple of months or so. There is no safe or effective "fast" weight loss.



Eat right, eat frequently (4 - 6 small meals a day), keep calories over 1200/day, and shoot for exercising at least 1 hr a day, at least 5 days week.



Any loss over 3 lbs/wk is too fast, but 1 lb is more common (it's hard to lose 3 lbs/wk the right way...takes a lot of exercise and eating perfectly).



Good luck!

Hi Ali,



There is so much false information going around about weight loss. Some is decent advice but most of it is horrible.



The most important thing for fat loss, is that your diet is as natural and unprocessed as possible. It almost always comes back to the over processing of food that makes it bad for you, and makes it totally destroy your metabolism and hormone balance in your body. For example, why eat refined grains, when you can eat whole grains. Why eat refined sugar, when you can get natural sources of sugar from a high nutrient whole food like fruit. Why eat highly processed, refined, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (these are THE worst thing in the modern diet), when you can eat natural sources of healthy fats like nuts, avocados, fish, eggs, coconut milk, organically raised meat, and so forth. The point is to not fall for some gimmick like low carbs, low fat, high protein, or any other combination that has you focusing on one macronutrient vs. another. Your body needs all macronutrients to thrive and obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Trying to cut an entire food group out just works against what your body needs.



Just be persistent, set goals, make little changes and stick with them. Don't count calories, it will drive you crazy. Just stop eating when your satisfied. You will get to where you want to be. You really have to want it, I did, and I'm at my goal weight now. Please check out my blog, I think you will enjoy the information and my weight loss story. The link is below and best of luck hon.

3 day miracle diet



The diet works on a chemical breakdown and is proven. Do not vary or substitute any of the foods listed. Mrs. Dash or Salt and pepper may be used, but no other seasonings. It is suggested to drink from 6-8 glasses of water per day to flush out your system. You may use diet sodas, and you may use your daily ice cream in a diet root beer float if you like. This diet is to be used for 3 days at a time. In three days you will lose 10 pounds. After 3 days of dieting, you eat normal food, but do not over do it. After 4 days of normal eating, start back on the diet. For even faster results, do 3 days on, and 1 day off. You can lose up to 40 pounds in a month if you stick to the diet.

It does work, I use it whenever I need to drop a couple pounds fast. Use it anytime you see the scale creep up more than 3 pounds above your ideal weight.
