Alli is the only FDA approved OTC diet pill. Orlistat (prescription Alli) and phentermine (Adipex) are the only two FDA prescription drugs. Sibutramine was pulled last year.
Everything else out there including the name knockoffs are unapproved and unproven, loaded with caffeine and vitamins.
You can lose the weight in 3 to 4 months if you do it right.
80% of weight loss is diet.
You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you’ve heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take an age appropriate basic daily multivitamin. Don’t look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
You have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the natural toxins.
Last, you need to get 7-10 hours of quality sleep depending on your age. All recent sleep studies report a connection between poor sleep and weight gain.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.

I lost 30 pounds in 5 months by spending my money at the grocery and gym and have kept it off for two years now. 3% of people that attempt weight loss lose it and keep it off for two years. It is not easy. It is a lifestyle change.
Good luck and good health.

The only fast, easy fat loss is surgery…lipo. Exercise is great but not for losing fat. Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.

Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. And ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.

Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.

An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.

Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.

You can’t lose fat fast naturally because your body will start burning lean tissue along with the fat as you make your diet more severe. To find out how best to lose fat, read my answer about how to lose fat –> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As615QJM4X_3ID9_05qmmlXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111028185603AAVcP4D .

Always remember you’re a work in progress. You won’t have your adult body for another ten years so you’ll be experiencing many changes possibly including weight gains due to natural growth. So, don’t panic if the scale goes up. Track your calories, eat your BMR, and you won’t even need a scale to know you’re burning fat.

When you lose fat, you weigh less and, hence, burn fewer calories. Your BMR will be lower so you’ll have to eat less on maintenance than when you were heavier. And, losing the fat is only the beginning. Once fat is lost, you have to keep it off for the rest of your life and that may include such difficulties as the “Freshman 15”, college drinking culture, soirées and social drinking, pregnancy, somatopause (age-related slowing metabolism), a more sedentary lifestyle, affluence and access to more expensive, tasty, and fattening meals, etc. This truth is born out by the fact the 3 out of 4 adult Americans are overweight or obese. That’s means only 1 in 4 adult Americans has a healthy weight. (See: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/obesity_adult_09_10/obesity_adult_09_10.html ). It only gets more difficult to stay slim as the years roll by. It never gets easier. So, now is the time to establish good eating habits…the kind that will keep you svelt and fit in the days ahead and for the rest of your life.

Good luck and good health!!

In the morning if you can wake up pretty early, that’s when you have the most energy! Drink a bottle of water plug in your iPod or whatever and listen to music as you run! — That’s my first step.

Then you go home, eat a really healthy breakfast like fruit salad or something that’s nutritional.

After that you pretty much clean the house or whatever maybe take a walk while its cool, walk your pet dog, if you have one, i like to spend the morning doing that while its not so hot outside!

After that you wait a few hours being active as can be, then you relax a little and do some sit ups and lift weights to your own schedule… And your own statistics like weight height goals.. Or whatever.. That’s what I usually do! And then I like to stretch at the beginning of the day… Ha-ha

MORE TIPS:

chew gum – sugar free. It makes you not snack because if you chew it, you don’t want to snack because then you will have to spit out your gum! Works for me..

That’s my trick tip – now read the losing weight 411

EXTRA: breathing for an hour burns 60 calories, so that’s a little lift off your chest ha-ha
and sleeping is the same rate 🙂

exercise at least 60 minutes a day if you can 🙂

hey, you know what? The most inexpensive weight loss thing to do, is to try to burn more calories than you eat, don’t eat unhealthy like a 500 calorie diet! All that will do is make you sick, you NEED to be healthy to lose weight properly. I’m trying to lose weight too! So basically here are some tips to speed up your metabolism: Drink 1-3 glasses of green tea a day
Try and eat Chili peppers somehow, ((chili)) they help.
8 classes of water a day

the more active you are, the faster your metabolism will grow to be.

Did you know that breathing for an hour burns 60 calories all on its own? And SLEEP is very important, try to go to sleep on time and get your ages average amount of sleep,. Ask your doctor what a healthy weight for you is, and then after you have reached that goal do sit ups and crutches – among many other core exercises, Run to slim out, and make sure you burn more calories than you eat – had to repeat that!

Fruits and veggies are REALLY low in calories and FULL of nutrition. Do you like Tacos? Ditch the hard shell, maybe try a taco salad.. Without the shell of course! Lettuce with meat is good, but PLEASE tries mixing it with turkey and beef so that it isn’t all fat. Chicken salad is good, you want the protein but you don’t want fried anything really, once in a while if fine but remember – YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF THOSE EXTRA CALORIES. Exercises exercise exercise. Don’t over do it – don’t starve , be moderate and stay active. GOOGLE: 100 ways to burn 100 calories, there are some pretty cool things you can do!

Stay away from starchy and high carb foods – mostly white things. Bread is a bad, so try to stick to thin, HIGH in fiber, slices 🙂

you can Google all the stuff and before you know it you will feel so good about it all and IM actually excited to start working out and all that, just because I know what it will do for me!

But if you must go with a diet, try Weight Watchers, its the only one I actually recommend. 🙂
