It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!
The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.
Fearne answered Saturday January 29 2011, 7:58 am: The best way to lose weight is never the fastest - quick-effect diets that promise results in two weeks work in the short term, but don't last in the long term. If you want to lose weight for an event or holiday coming up soon, there are things like the Special K Diet and SlimFast which can help, but be aware that they are not sustainable.
If you want to lose weight and stay a healthy weight, it's simply about getting a balance of food groups. Swap fatty foods for low-fat substitues (full fat milk for semi-skimmed/skimmed, desserts for low-fat yoghurt etc.) and find healthier ways of cooking food - grilling for example.
Eating high-fibre alternatives will also keep you fuller for longer (sugary cereal for oatmeal/porridge or muesli, you can add fruit or honey to liven it up, white bread for wholemeal etc.) This will help to stop junk food cravings.
It is important to check that it is healthy for you to lose weight, so check your BMI (Body Mass Index) to see how healthy you are on this calculator - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
With a healthy attitude towards food and will power, you can lose weight and keep it off. Fad diets DO NOT WORK, and can leave you in a vicious circle of under-eating then bingeing because it's too much too fast.
Hope I helped :) [ Fearne's advice column | Ask Fearne A Question ]

No junk food and work out every day, or every other day. There is really no 'fast' way to loose weight. [ xxemilyfeil's advice column | Ask xxemilyfeil A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Saturday November 27 2010, 11:32 pm: The fastest way to lose weight? 3 easy steps:
1) Drink some whiskey. Lots of whiskey.
2) Fire up the chainsaw.
3) You can guess the rest.
Between 3 limbs and blood loss, you should be good for at least 50 lbs.
Now, seriously? The best way to lose weight isn't through fad diets: take it from someone who's tried them all. You might lose a bunch of weight fast, but it won't stay off, and you might even get some extra back in the bargain. If you're looking to lose weight and keep it off, you need to make some lifestyle changes. I would suggest signing up for My Fitness Pal. It's free, and gives you lots of tools to get you where you want to be. It's what I'm using right now. It's all about good eating habits and exercise: no magic formulas!

Terrie answered Saturday November 27 2010, 9:16 pm: Believe it or not, drinking A LOT of water flushes you out and gets rid of your water weight too and decreases your hunger. Cranberry juice is also used for weightloss and is a successful product as it cleanses your whole system. Try the greentea diet for instance, that and some well determined exercise will knock those pounds off faster than you can say "weight loss"! Not literally !
