How can I lose weight quickly and naturally?
Let me give you quick facts about myself. Im 17 turning 18 in 7 days, Im 5’8 1/2, and I weigh 215 lbs. I have a huge tummy and everyone makes fun of it and Im tired of it. People say I look good but not attactive due to my obesity. I want to loose weight so I can put that attractiveness back in me with my good looks. Is there any way I can lose weight quickly and naturally? Is it possible to diminish my pot belly or is it too late?? Sorry it was long just being specific so I can get specific answers. Thanks guys and gals!!

I have lost a total of 120 pounds so far.
I lost 105 pounds in my first 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.
Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

The best way is to start being active and cut down on what youre eating. Fir example, take the stairs, ride your bike instead of driving…

It’s not too late. You are young, and now is a great time to take charge of your health! Don’t wait til you’re 30, like I did. 🙂
Here’s something I discovered a few months ago, and I think it’s very important information for anyone who wants to lose weight. Check out the book Eat Right For Your Type by Dr. Peter D’adamo. His research has shown that certain foods are beneficial, or potentially could act like a poison, for your system, based on how they react with your blood type. Certain foods we may be eating every day may unknowingly be causing weight gain and other health problems. I lost two sizes on this plan in just a couple months, and I have more energy. It’s not a diet, which is the great thing about it. Just pick up the mini book for your blood type that lists foods and drinks that are “good” or “bad” for your system, and take it into consideration every time you make a food choice, whether grocery shopping or going out to eat.
In addition, of course, are some basic rules of weight loss – avoid eating foods that contain refined sugars and/or high fructose corn syrup (such as sodas, candy, most pre-packaged dessert items) or contain too many “empty carbs” such as breads not listed as 100% whole grain; take steps to do some regular exercise, whether it be simply walking 30 minutes a day or other program to help you burn off the excess fat while you regulate your diet. (Also, the mini blood type reference book lists exercise recommendations appropriate for your type, and specific foods to avoid for weight loss.)
Best of luck!

the best wight is to watch what you eat and exercise. eat things that are good for you, like fruits and vegetables. drink water instead od sweet drinks, if you feel like you need a pop, have a diet pop instead of an regular one. walking is a good exercise also
