Run. Run. Run. I've been in the military for 6 years and trust me, running is the best way to burn fat. And eating healthy of course.

You lose fat by burning more calories than you take in.

It is best to exercise AND diet. A high protein diet will prevent you from losing muscle during the diet. If you eat less than 1200 calaries per day you will lose muscle no matter what you eat.

This may help you.

The 1 & Only

I had to drop 40 pounds for the Navy. Here is what I did: I went to the gym every day. Every other day I ran, and on the days that I did not run I did the stair climber, and the ski machine. I worked out for an hour each time, and pushed myself to burn 700 calories within the hour. For my diet, I did a strict vegetarian diet. No sugar, carbs, soda, or fats. Not even diet soda because it will dehydrate your muscles. No more then 1300 calories a day.

You may loose weight fast at first but your body will taper off for a few days while it adjusts, and during this time you may not loose much. Then you will start loosing weight again once you get past your "plateau." Hang in there, I know it is hard. If you have any questions feel free to email me. I can go into more detail if you like.

Well I would say, depend on how is your body like?
Are you huge with a lot of fat on?, or ~
Are you huge with a lot of Muscle on?, or ~
Are you just huge because of your bones?

If you are huge with a lot of fat,
I suggest you to Run,
In the book "Best Training for Women",
It say that Running is the fast sport for burning Calories!

There's no secret way to approach this weight loss attempt. Just run a lot, do aerobics, jump rope, crunches, and some weightlifting. Drink lots of water. Try to find an ab workout video. They really do help. Eat healthy. Thats it.

The objective of dieting is to lose body fat, not weight. Muscle weighs two and half times more than fat, so when you eat healthy and exercises, you will burn fat and build muscle. People will go on a diet and lose five pounds then stop when they start gaining weight, which they don't understand is good weight or muscle. Remember, the military is measuring body fat, not weight.

IF you walk for a long period of time (like say an hour or hour and half) just at your local gym track you will loose weight faster than you would if you were to run. Trust me. My dads friend is a body builder and competes in competitions, and he recently changed his weight class to a lower weight class and had to loose weight before his competition. Walking works deep fat (white), where running only burns off your red fat cells. It's kind of like lifting heavy weights with less reps will build your muscle mass but more reps less weight will get you more cut looking. Trust me. Just walk for a long period of time each day.

Go to wal-mart buy a "fat burning suit" I don't know the real name, but they will be back by the weights and work out equipment. They are silver suits. Wear it while you job and all the time you can. You will sweat ALLOT. Do not drink any soda!! Tons of water. I used one of these to loose 10lbs in 1 week with very little work.

Or go the cheap version of this and wrap your stomach in saran wrap.

My husband has dropped 25lbs in 2 1/2 weeks so he can reenlist.

He cut his calories DRASTICALLY. Like from 3000 a day to 1200 a day. 90% of those calories are from apples and baked chicken. Occasionally rice or a salad.

Then he gets on the treadmill and elliptical. He tries to work out 2-3 times a day for 20 min a piece and at least once a day works out until he burns 500 calories.

Don't lift weight because although muscle burns fat faster than fat burns fat, it also weighs more.

He also has been taking a colon pill that is supposed to flush out your system.

His way is not real safe and would not be condoned by a doctor, but it works.

I have been on a much less strenuous diet with less results. In the same amount of time (less than a month) I have lost 7 lbs. I have cut my daily calories by 500 and worked out on an elliptical once a day, burning 150-200 calories. In addition I take as many stairs as I can.

Drink lots of water, and eat healthy!

fast, there is no fast way without diet.

Go Eat Bacon, and mayonnaise... Atkins diet ,and you will loose it all in about month or 2. If your not in a hurry circuit training is actually god way to loose weight, but if your going to lift you need to be on a diet too.
