Cut out fast food and processed food. Drink eight glasses of water a day. No soda or juice. Do not undereat or starve yourself, as that will mess up your metabolism and make you gain weight faster. Exercise for one-two hours 3-5 times per week. Snack on fruit and veggies. Indulge a little on your favorite food or treats...only before noon. Exercise in the earliest part of the day, so you will burn calories and feel more full during the day. Exercising in the evening can also make sleep difficult. If you only need to lose five pounds, consider yourself blessed! You are already beautiful, so don't stress! When starting a new workout your body automatically retains water, so it takes several weeks before your body will realize that you will not dehydrate, and then you will lose the water weight. Help your body do this faster by drinking lots of water and avoiding too much salt and caffeine. Good luck!

if you just wanna lose 5 pounds, then you should just watch what you eat, and work out (such as running) and to watch what you eat, and limit your portions.

You build muscle, you lose fat. You build muscle, you gain strength, energy, resistance, enthusiam, creativity, ability, longevity, esteem - you hit the jack pot.

Most diets don't work for long term fat loss. They're concerned with reducing weight rather than burning excess bodyfat. They strip off vital muscle, the body's major fat burning component. When you remain at a particular bodyfat level for a long period of time, your body recognizes that as your fat setpoint. Substantial time (patience, discipline and fortitude) is required to lower your fat setpoint as you seek complete and permanent changes.

The body tissue you have today, good or bad, was built almost entirely from the foods you have eaten over the past 6 months. Make a commitment today to renew your body composition.

Watch calories, watch carbohydrates. Avoid excessive fats (high calories) and carbohydrates. The big bonus here is that after a few weeks, your tastes and habits will simply change. Fats, sugar and salt become less interesting. For an intense fat burning regime, try the following tricks.

• With pad and pencil, simply list everything eaten.

• Cut fat and salt intake radically.

• Consider training in the morning - this raises the metabolic rate throughout the day. This means more fat burning and more energy.

• Take 1-2 grams of L-Carnitine before workouts. You'll burn more fat.

• Drink 1-2 liters of H2O during the day.

• An excellent pre workout and post-workout meal is a Bomber Blend protein drink. And for ideal and aggressive efforts toward leanness, add the following supplements: 2 SuperSpectrim vitamin/minerals, 2 Amino Ammos, 1 Antioxidant & 1 gram Vitamin C.

• Don't scrutinize. Permanent changes take time. Test and record your bodyfat level every two months. If you use a scale, weigh only once a week. After an initial drop in weight, plan to lose 1/2 to 1 pound per week steadily - a REALISTIC goal.

• Have your larger meals early in the day, making dinner the lowest calorie meal..

• After reaching your goal, be prepared to continue your diet in order to establish a new fat setpoint.

• Remember, protein is king. To assure consistent intake for muscle adaption and weight control a protein powder should be on your shopping list along with the eggs and apples.

• Always and forever, plan a disciplined low calorie day following any unusually high calorie days. Enjoy an extended workout and the subsequent high blood sugar pump.
