sapphire_tear_z	Yes, you can. but it will be slow and there will be loose skin to worry about. If you really really wanna lose some weight then combine both ways. control your intake and do some exercise. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

darthbouncy	You can not lead a healthy lifestyle without exercising, period. Losing weight shouldn't be your first priority. Being healthy and starting to like who you are right now should take precedence. Find a new and fun activity....I discovered bellydancing and it is so much fun and it doesn't feel like exercise at all...except you break into a sweat with all that shimmying! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LisaHW	Yes you can. It isn't ideal because exercise speeds up the process, helps build muscle, increases metabolism, etc; but - yes - if you reduce your calories enough you can lose weight. How much you lose depends on how many calories you cut back on. A person could get to a point where there were so few calories they were taking in it could be difficult to reduce them, in which case exercise would help use up the calories. Think of how people who are sick for a long time and in bed often tend to lose weight (but they also tend to lose muscle, as well as fat). The point is if you take in few enough calories you'll lose weight. For some reason (maybe because exercise is so important or else because of brainwashing that our culture has done) very few people will admit (or else realize) that a person can lose weight without exercising. They can. They do. Its just not the best thing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joseph, II	Yeah- but it's REALLY hard, not nearly as healthy for you- and you probably won't lose as much. Listen, ANY exersize is better than none- If you can find a few hours a week to simply walk around the block or your local Mall a few times- it will really pay off for you in the end. Good luck.

strwberridreamz	yes you can.............. MAYBE THIS CAN HELP YOU. 7 Tips to Increase Metabolism To increase metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Break-fast...break the fast. Don't skip breakfast. If you wait until mid morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower. Think of breakfast as adding logs to the fireplace. Your metabolism is the fireplace and logs are the breakfast. Increase metabolism by eating smaller meals through the day. Eat 4 to 6 six small meals, 2 to 3 hours apart. Don't depend on herbal products to increase metabolism or energy level. Any metabolic increase will be minimum and herbs are not cheap. Instead, include more energy foods such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits. Park further away and walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Walk to the post office instead of getting into the car. Take your dog on a daily walk. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don't work. Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism. Don't starve yourself when trying to lose weight. This will slow down your metabolism in a hurry. Avoid 5 to 6 hour gaps between meals without eating. Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.

Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

robin s	Yes, you can lose weight, but that doesn't mean you are healthy. You have to exercise to keep muscles and bones strong. Just because you are skinny, doesn't mean you are any healthier than someone who is a little bulkier. Muscle burns fat and muscle also weighs more than fat. Get to the gym and do a BMI. That's a much better indicator. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

frigon_p	Yes you can stop eating but thats not a very good idea. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

estee06	Yes you can, on a low fat, low-cal diet. You will have to drink plenty of water and eat lots of greens. I would not recomment too much of meat as it will have too many side effects (high cholesterols and heart diseases, blocked arteries etc). Even eat fruits in moderation as they are high in sugars, and try to include some fibres in your diet as well. Green Tea is also a good idea as it increases your body's metabolism and has anti-oxidants. However, even though you may lose weight, your body will not be in a good shape as it could have been had you exercised. You may feel dull and listless and permanently tierd. So a little exercise actually goes a long way in keeping you fit and healthy - keeps your metabolism high, your blood sugar level low and all aches and pains away. If you are not an exercise person, try walking - maybe run small errands in your neighbourhood or take your neighbour's dog/ baby for a walk or even do some gardening or light housework.

evertsmichael	Yes, but not in a healthy way. The answer you don't want to hear, is that you need to be exercising. You can acheive a lot with just simple weight training and cardiovascular training. Begin slow by walking more and taking stairs instead of the elevator. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I think...	yes, it's called a diet Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fat G	Healthy weight loss tips * Take one pound at a time Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat. Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight. Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories. * Set Reachable Goals For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself. The same logic applies for losing weight. * Stay off the scales Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body. If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress. * Stay focused on being healthy, not thin # Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health. * Fat Free? We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not. * Drink plenty of water Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties. * Reward yourself # Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage. * Seek help if you need it # A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs. * Watch your portions With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed. * Eat your food slowly Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.

ashesanne	yes... when i was in 7th grade i went on slim fast, didnt exercise ever, and lost 30 lbs. i wouldnt recomend it though, becuase excercising builds muscle, which weighs more than fat, but muscles burn more fat when your doing nothing. so you would lose weight faster and be more healthier if you just excercise a little bit.
