   The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, “starving” your self etc.

   first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..

   eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be “lean meat” such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID “JUNK FOOD” and “Fast Food” as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.

   if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.

   go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.

   if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.

   10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…

   btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a “food steamer” at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a “rice cooker” which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs “healthy carbs” to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good “jasmine rice”.. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like “cumin” or “Curry powders”, etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.

   drink “Green Tea” as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well

   Because they are so determined to do it. They don’t eat, and they exorcise themselves to death. (literally)

   They are losing water weight. Then muscle weight. Then, if they continue the starvation, fat weight.

   If you were to get on a low carb diet, you’d lose “weight” fast the first week. But it’s not fat. It’s only water. But it makes a visual difference. Carbs contain alot of water.

   It’s cause they BARELY eat and they’re OBSESSED with phjysical activity.

   Just to warn you, TRUST ME, you DO NOT want to go on ANY TYPE of diet/pills/laxatives/becoming anorexic or bullimic/WHATEVER.
   ALL they lead to is gaining and losing weight, gaining and losing, gaining and losing. Most people who go on diets tend to be even MORE fat, sometimes TWICE as fat by like 2 months.

   Here’s how to lose weight effectively, SAFELY and healthily.

   Run about 4-5 miles everyday 🙂
   Make sure you have the right shoes. Spikes or Reebok RunTone running shoes should help (:
   I got mine a month ago and since I had them, I’ve been running 5 miles everyday and so far these are my results:
   – Lost about 10 pounds of fat. (I can practically see my abs)
   – I feel stronger
   – I’m a lot less tired in the morning.
   – I love my muscled legs right now. Well, they we’re already muscled since I’m naturally really big-boned but now they’re more muscled. So, running helps alot 🙂

   – Gained 13 pounds of muscle (This is different for everyone depending on the type of body you have. I’m really big-boned, I have a body that’s 72% muscle and I’m a mesomorph and a endomorph)

   Also, you can eat almost anything as long as it’s not too fattening.
   I eat a huge bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the morning and about 2 hours before I go to sleep.
   During the day I just eat a regular meal. Then go jogging for 30 minutes.

   Also try eating every three hours. When you learn to eat every 3 hours, you’ll gain control over your blood sugar, which will help you put control of your appetite. When you control your appetite, you control your weight. When you control your weight, you’ll feel so much more energized and confident. Your self-esteem will go through the roof. You’ll enjoy looking at yourself in the mirror and appreciating all the hard work you’ve done. You’ll feel so good about yourself so healthy and fit, that nothing will stand in your way.

   This is my diet:

   Meal 1 @ 8 am : Breakfast (400 calories of balanced nutrients)
   Meal 2 @ 11 pm: Snack (100 calories)
   Meal 3 @ 2 pm: Lunch (400 calories of balanced nutrients)
   Meal 4 @ 5 pm: Snack (100 calories)
   Meal 5 @ 8 pm: Dinner (400 calories of balanced nutrients)
   Meal 6 @ 9 pm: Treat (60 calories)

   Eat a BUNCH of vegetables and fruits, avoid all cokes, caffeine’s, smoking, alcohol etc. AVOID “JUNK FOOD” and “Fast Food” as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.

   If you do this every day for one month, you should lose around 10 pounds per month until you get to your natural healthy weight. Look up on the net for an idea of what your weight for your height should be. When you get to this weight, your body will look very nice and you’ll feel very good.

   Extra Tip: Try drinking at least a glass of Green Tea everyday. It’s filled with antioxidants which helps use energy faster and burn calories twice as fast.
   Many tests have been conducted on the effects of green tea on weight loss and it has been found that individuals that consume this beverage on a regular basis are able to successfully drop body fat.

   The reason that this beverage assists in weight loss is because of the fact that it assists in increasing the metabolism in the body.

   Believe it or not, this is all coming from a FULLY-OVER DEVELOPED, 120 pounds, 12 year old.
   I know all this thanks to Jorge Cruise. Today he’s recognized as America’s #1 weight-loss expert because he makes weight loss easy. He’s been featured on VH1, THE TYRA BANKS SHOW, OPRAH AND CNN and is the exclusive diet coach for AOL.

   Hope I helped 🙂
   Best of luck !

   I am not sure about the fast part, but the part where they lose weight is probably because they don’t eat enough calories in order for the body to go through it’s normal functions. What this does is put the body into starvation mode in which it will start eating itself, so the muscles will deteriorate first.

    Identify your ideal weight. If you’re 5′5″ with a certain build, there’s an ideal weight that matches your body type. Find it – and make that your goal. And if you don’t know what that might be, try searching the Web for a calculator (though results and calculations will vary by a small margin). Now you have a weight goal to shoot for.

    Consider the source. I’m going to make a gross generalization here, but… why would I trust an overweight doctor or nutritionist to give me proper advice on weight loss? “Do as I say and not as I do” is not a maxim I’m willing to accept from anybody who would be qualified to tell me how to do something. Talk to people who are doing it, or who have done it and been successful. You don’t have to mirror their regimen, but at least you’re getting help from someone who’s really been there. Or, as they said in the Christmas episode of “Two and a Half Men,” people who live in fat asses shouldn’t throw waffles.
