Try to go for a walk after dinner a couple times a week, you should be fine. If you are looking to drop a big amount, I would suggest you go see a nutrionist and he/she will set you up with a diet that will fit you. A guy I work with went to one and he has dropped over 50lbs.

Your body will get used to it at a certain point and you'll level off. . . Fasting for two weeks - even if it works - is just going to be a quick fix and you'll end up gaining it all back.

eat less, move more. fads don't work, fasts don't work-and you won't lose if you're hungry, as you'll end up bingeing.
eating is a routine. you need to change what's wrong with that routine. and add a bit of exercise, everyone needs more than they're getting anyway.

some cell phones ( i know mine does ) have a fitness setting, with a pedometer-i keep mine on my waist, when i think about it, and it counts my steps during the day. the goal is 10,000.


at any rate, you need to change some parts of your lifestyle. no need for drastic measures.

giving up sodas loaded with sugar would be a very good, and easy place to start.

Diet soda?

If so, that's probably your biggest obstacle to losing weight dude.

What happens is that when your tongue senses sweetness, it sends a signal to the liver to expect sugars. I'm simplifying this, but the end result is that your liver will release stored sugars into your blood while expecting to get it's stores replenished.

Because you aren't consuming a real sugar your liver goes into a sugar deficit of sorts. Because the liver doesn't get this, it 'demands' that you eat so that it can restore it's levels. This results in your appetite increasing and forcing you to eat when normally you wouldn't have had to.

You'd have been better off in the first place drinking a sugary soda! Obviously that's not a good choice however, and you should drink water. Avoid anything with aspartame and splenda, which are both toxic anyways.

This dude down the street from me, for two years I told him if he was to do just one thing to lose weight (something easy), that would be to cut out sodas. He did, and he dropped 40 pounds.
