Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way and get slim on the process:

1. Lose weight with water.
Water is essential for everybody – it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.

By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant.

2. Soup up your weight loss program.
A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don't eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals.

3. Eat early to keep weight off.
The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m.

4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently.
Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks.

5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet.
Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don't last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function – not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources.

Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat.

Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods.

6. Walk off the weight.
The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening.

I hope this article helps you shed some pounds and add on the years! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!

I'm not a nutrition expert by any means but I can tell you that losing 25-30 pounds in a month is not healthy at all (unless you are about 400+ lbs would be my guess). However, you are giving her great advice by telling her to build good eating habits and not starve herself and by putting her through exercise that is fat-burning and sweat-inducing. Commitment is a big part, but don't confuse commitment for fanaticism, like working out eight hours a day (extreme case there). Normally, it's safe to lose one, two, maybe three pounds a week; to be honest three is pushing it a little bit.

Also, these diets that people post are often extremely harmful since depriving yourself of food sends your body into "starvation mode" where it conserves all that you eat as fat. It's devastating to your body and your mind. Try instead to limit fat intake to 20-30% daily and try to avoid saturated and trans fats. Unsaturated fats are the necessary fats that your body needs to operate.

I practice yoga regularly, but my main purpose for doing so is to stretch out my muscles. They get very sore and tight from my workouts. I think yoga can help you lose weight if you are severely overweight, because at that point any kind of physical activity can be strenuous. However, if you are moderately fit already, I would not expect visible results from yoga alone.

ROCKY Answered:
Yoga is great for muscle definition. Stretching is extremely important when you want to enhance and train your body to display a strong lean cut.

To lose weight you must eat a balance diet, use exercise resistance bands, run on treadmill or use something like the air climber to burn more calories than you intake.

1. Visualize yourself being at the weight you wish to be.

2. Juice fresh fruits and vegetables everyday. You would alternate once day fruits and next day vegetables.Fruits contain water and sugar so you want to eat less fruits than vegetables. Try to find a balance.

The reason you want to juice is simply because the body will not be forced to break down the food to the point where most of the nutrients will be destroyed by stomach acid. By drinking it the nutrients are absorbed faster and utilized more efficiently by the body.

3. Planks, leg lifts, leg hip thrusts, jumping jacks, jogging and exercise bands will enhance weight loss.

4. Eat a healthy breakfast everyday!

5. For snacks replace all junk foods with walnuts, raisins, granola or fruits and vegetables.

6. Eliminate all diary! It's loaded with hormones and makes it very difficult to lose weight.

7. Try some relaxing mediation. There are subliminal weight loss training products available like those sold by brainsync technology.

Good Luck!

Eh i saw a couple people doing it on that t.v show doctors but they were atleast 40-60 lbs overweight. You wanna lose 5-10 lbs which isn't bad at all, i mean that's what 1-2 months of working out? P.S the HCG diet does work but is costly.

Daniel Answered:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission issued seven warning letters on Tuesday December 6, 2011 to companies that sell the over-the-counter products, noting they have not been approved by the FDA for weight loss. The drops do not contain hcg hormone but similar synthetic peptide amino acids. This is the first step in terminating the sale of the ineffective drops.

Finally the Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to stop these possibly harmful products.
Anyone that lost weight on the diet protocol only did because they were eating 500 calories a day and in starvation mode. The drops legally cannot contain any real hcg anyway. Most conscientious pharmacies have already pulled them from the shelves and others are selling down.
The side effects of the hcg diet protocol are the side effects of malnutrition. These include headache, hair loss, interruption of menstrual cycles, fatigue, feeling lightheaded, disorientation, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea.
Something to think about. One of the side effects of properly using the hcg injections to increase fertility is weight gain. So how can the hormone cause weight loss other than malnutrition?
I know you hate to hear it but a healthy diet and exercise work every time.

EddySays Answered:
The "reviews" you read were bought and paid for guerilla advertising. If you want to read real reviews, you have to know where to look for them. Read what real experts have to say.

Check the following excerpts from the USNational Institute of Health…the place where the doctors get their information regarding health research. And, if you can't bring yourself to believe the science, visit your physician and find out for yourself. You'll be wise to ignore the random strangers of unknown credibility with no references or citations who are simply credulous believers incapable of recognizing their own placebo effect.

Here's what the experts have to say.

"In recent publications describing mostly well-documented double-blind studies authors largely reject hCG administration in dieting. Supporters of the hCG diet must prove the efficacy of this method in controlled studies according to the German Drug Law. Until then the opinion of the German steroid toxicology panel is still valid, that hCG is ineffective in dieting and should not be used."
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/36096

"Treatment of obesity with human chorionic gonadotrophin was shown to be of no better value than saline in a double-blind crossover study of weight reduction in obese subjects. There was also no significant difference in mood, hunger, or missed injections, and no apparent difference in adherence to diet when the two agents were compared. In contrast, a significant difference was found in the ability of subjects to lose weight in the first four weeks of the study in contrast with the second four weeks, no matter which agent was used. Thus, the initiation of a new therapeutic program, even using an inert agent, has a temporary benefit–a manifestation both of placebo effect and the Hawthorne effect."
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32172

"We conclude that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity."
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24055

"Supporters of the hCG diet must prove the efficacy of this method in controlled studies according to the German Drug Law. Until then the opinion of the German steroid toxicology panel is still valid, that hCG is ineffective in dieting and should not be used"
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/36096

"The success of the diet was based on motivation and good information, rather than on the hCG administration."
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12281

"Subjects receiving HCG injections showed no advantages over those on placebo in respect of any of the variables recorded. Furthermore, weight loss on our diet was similar to that on severely restricted intake. We conclude that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity."
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12281

"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers to steer clear of these "homeopathic" human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) weight-loss products.They are sold in the form of oral drops, pellets and sprays and can be found online and in some retail stores."
Ref: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/Consumer

"You wont see me promoting quick fixes or fad diets anytime soon. But every once in awhile something comes along that seems so dangerous I have to call it out. Thats why Im going to help reveal the truth behind the HCG diet."
Ref: http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column

"Human chorionic gonadotropin is of no value in the management of obesity."
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles

You can find more information by going to USA.gov and searching for "HCG diet.

The hcg diet is a scam because HCG does nothing for fat loss. It was a scam from the get go and doesn't work any more than the other junk on the market like acai or green tea. Even if you manage to lose some weight from the diet alone you will only gain rebound fat because you've done nothing to change your eating habits. That will lead to yo-yo'ing until you finally learn that diets don't work and the only way to lose fat and keep it gone is to make a lifetime commitment to proper eating habits. After all, staying slim only gets more difficult with age. So, you may as well make that commitment now and establish proper eating habits instead of trying an easy way that doesn't work.

Good luck and good health!!

Yes that's a great start! yoga is definitely good but more cardio activities would be better for weight loss. So perhaps stick with your current ideas but also add some cardio like the elliptical machine or even sports like badminton which are fun! Also, make sure you are eating sensibly too. No use exercise like mad if your diet is full of fast food and cola! Good luck and stick at it

dont change who you want to be, speak to him tell him you are who you are thats why he liked you. you are not a project he can work on, sure its nice to dress up for him once in a while, that shows you want toimpress him, but dont let that impact your everyday life, your sense of worth or the person you show your self to be.

Mr Smoothe Answered:
1. because he is a guy. 2. Guys like girls who look and DRESS like girls do. Not yoga pants, guys like tight jeans and and cute girl shirts/ short shorts. GUYS HATEBAGGY CLOTHES!!!. You don't have to be a slut even the slightest to wear those. 3. Looks are more important to guys than girls because thats how we are born. A guy needs to feel more physically attracted and a girl more emotionally attracted.

J Answered:
Get away from him. When a guy starts controlling what you wear and do like that it means that it will probably be an abusive relationship, even if it hasn't gotten to that point yet. Please, please do not be one of those women who just let men completely control all aspects of their life and just take verbal, mental, or physical abuse because they think they love the guy.

Cory Answered:
If he is embarrassed because your not wearing tight shorts in public I would say that's a problem. If he truly cares about you and finds you attractive, public appearance in the manner deemed suitable only if you look "hot" all dressed up doesn't seem genuine in the slightest. It sounds more like hes afraid how he looks in public view andthinks you do not look attractive in your selected attire.To be honest, every girlfriend I had genuine feelings for, I thought she couldn't look any better then when we were just hanging out and she had some sweat pants and my T-shirt on with her hair pulled back, NO MAKEUP. That's how you know you really care for the woman, when you look at her, the real her, and just know she's yours. Corny yes.. but it's the truth.

Zara Answered:
Sorry men aren't answering this. As a woman, I say… dump him. I went out with guys like that. Anyone who truly loves you and isn't superficial won't care. He's being controlling is right and he wants you to be a reflection of his taste in women. He isn't seeing the person you are inside and that's not good. If a guy thinks you are good looking, he'll think you look great in a jogging suit. Get rid of this controlling narcissist. He sees you as an extension of his taste in women and nothing else. It would be one thing if he told you he'd like to see you dress nice, because you are beautiful, but that's not what is happening. He's telling you he wants you to look like a walking sexpot, so his friends will be jealous and he can be proud with his macho imagine intact. If that's what makes him proud about you and not the brain in your head, get a boyfriend who sees you for your brains. I had no idea men were so into fashion. Ditch him.
