On an 800 to 1200 calorie per day diet (DEPENDING ON YOUR HEIGHT -- <5' 800 Calories, 5' > 1000Calories, 5'5"> 1200 to 1400 per ady).
After you lose 10lbs, then start exercising! Do stuff you like: dance, swim, skate, walk, go to a gym & lift weights -- wts. build muscle & muscle burns twice the calories than no muscle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just make it fun and do stretches each morning just like a cat and you'll feel wonderful! Do deep breathing along with stretching to get fresh air to your whole body -- it's amazing how it makes you feel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Increase your metabolism by increasing the number of meals you have in a day. Just make sure you don't increase the number of calories you are eating. Make sure you eat smaller portions for each meal. Three small meals with two snacks in between usually does the trick. And don't forget to drink a lot of water. In order for your body to break down the fat, it needs water. By fasting, your body goes into starvation mood which slows the metabolism of your body and your body start to eat away on the muscles that you don't use. I still think excercise if highly recomended.

there is a simple equation to determine body weight loss or body weight gain.
intake (calories) - (resting metabolism + exercise) = weight gain or weight loss (calories)

For instance if I were to eat 3000 calories per day with a resting metabolism of 2200 calories per day and I don't exercise.....

3000 calories - (2200 calories + 0 calories) = 800 calories
(this would be a weight gain)

However, if I were to exercise and reduce my caloric intake.....

2600 calories - (2200 calories + 500 calories) = - 100 calories
This would be a weight loss of 100 calories per day.

To put it simply, you HAVE to decrease your intake to lose weight if you don't want to exercise.

yes i can understand your position, because two month before i face the same problem, now i reduced 9.5 kilos, without doing any exercise in 2 months.
its possible by controlling ur food item menu`s.
in morning after brushing take a cup of warm water and mix it with 1 or 2 table spoon of honey and drink it,
by doing this it may reduce ur cholesterol,
morning breakfast: 2 or 3 banana (if u are a sugar patient means pls avoid it).
meal: pls add more green vegetable in your lunch by avoiding fried items(even fried vegetable also, because the oil adds fat and cholesterol to vegetable, thus vegetable loose their originality).
dinner: pls take light dinner and just have a walk for 5 or 6 meters (if u cant pls avoid sleeping after eating).
surely it will work.
all the best to get a slim structure as soon as possible.

Cut out sweets, nuts, red meats, sauces, anything with sugar, sodas, etc. Please do not starve yourself as it will have the reverse affect once you start eating again, only adding more fat than what you started with. Walk or take stairs anytime it is possible.

If you're so busy that you cannot exercise, you're probabaly very active and burning plenty of cals.
Just limit your cals to somewhere between 1200 and 1600 (depending on your weight, height, age).

Not eating and surgery would be the only way to lose weight without exercise. If you're too busy, try fitting little exercises into your daily routine. Here are a couple of examples:

1-Don't just stand still. When you're brushing your teeth, taking a shower, or standing in line somewhere, try doing some small jumps or squats.

2-Add to anything you already do. When you walk around anywhere straighten up your back and bend your arms at the elbow and do that 'speed walking.'

3-Invest. A good set of ankle and wrist weights can be worn under everyday attire and can add resistance to your routine.

4-Makeover your diet. If you need to eat fast food because of your schedule, try going with some healthier choices like subway or another corner deli. On a day when you don't have a lot to do, go shopping and prepare yourself meals and snacks that can fit into your lifestyle. Some carrot sticks, apples, and other fruits and veggies are all good choices. As for meals, try to stick with whole foods, things you actually have to cook, not nuke in the microwave.

5-Do some research. Still not sure about stuff? Take time to sit down and look up some quick exercises that can fit into your day. For example, www.exercisetv.tv has some great 2 minute routines that work your entire body.

6-Don't over exert yourself. Always get plenty of sleep and remember to drink lots of water.

In the end, the only real way to lose weight and keep it off is a steady regimine of diet and exercise. BUT is has been proven that exercise has a CUMMULATIVE effect, which means exercising three times a day for 10 minutes each will have to same effect on your body as exercising once for half an hour. Hope I was helpful ^.^

Also, the raw foods diet has worked wonders, but is very strict. Just as it sounds, you only eat RAW foods, which means mostly fruits and veggies. No steaming, broiling, baking, or even boiling.

watch what you eat no soda, no candy, no fried food, no bread all the stuff that taste good don't eat and you may be able to lose something, also remember without excercising people tend to have saggy skin after losing a lot of weight.

The Ranger
Change your diet patterns, I am not saying you to starve. To starve yourself would be foolish, I am saying that you need to eat correct food.

Try not to eat masala foods. Eat less mutton,chicken, if you can avoid eating completely. Eat green, non spicy food.

According to yoga, a person should eat half his stomach, then fill quarter of his stomach with water. You will naturally come into good shape.

I personally had the experience of gaining to about 80kg in a month & dropping down to 72kg in just 3weeks.

What did I do? Well it's simple, just no carbohydrates after 5pm for the rest of the day.

Carbohydrates are energy, if not use, it will be store as fats!! Eating carbo in the evening time where usually is the time you would be resting is more like accumulating fats.

What if I'm hungry? I suggest you drink plain water & take more potein.

Grick
I don't believe anyone is too busy to do exercise, but if it must be this way, you simply have to find your calorie maintenance level (how many calorie you need every day to maintain your current weight) and subtract 500. Say your body burns 2000 calories every day. Eat 1500. You'll lose a pound a week. The amount of calories you burn depends on body size and daily activity.

you can't lose weight without exercise. with losing weight you need to have a combination of 2 things: healthy food/health diet(fruits, veg, no junk food) and exercise. you could try yoga. it doesnt take much time and it makes you relaxed and you get exercise and would probably olose weight

BalooO
I have been receiving a lot of e-mail lately about diet. In the past, I was never concerned about what I ate. I just went to the gym, trained hard, and that was the extent of my routine. Not until recently did I realize the power diet has over the way your body looks and performs. I believe that diet is at least 75% of the fitness equation. In this article, I'm going to describe in detail what I have learned about diet during my 12-week transition period.
When to Eat and How Often
This might sound strange, but you have to eat more often to lose fat and gain muscle. During my transition period, I never ate less than 6 meals a day.
• Try to eat every 2 to 3 hours.
• Do not eat complex carbohydrates after 6:00 p.m. or four to five hours before going to bed.
• Try to eat one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass on lifting days and .8 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass on non-lifting days.
• Never eat more than 70 grams of protein in one meal.
Carbohydrates
When I think of carbohydrates, I think of energy. Carbohydrates supply our bodies with the energy it needs to make it through a workout. Without an adequate supply of carbohydrates, the body goes into carbohydrate deprivation. This is called a state of ketosis (meaning our body is using protein as energy). This is not a good state to be in for long because it will rob the body of muscle tissue in an effort to create energy. On the other hand, if too many carbohydrates are consumed, they convert into stored fat. The idea is to consume just enough carbohydrates to make it through our workouts with sufficient energy. I have broken down carbohydrates into these three categories:
• Simple carbs: These are sugars, or quick energy. They are absorbed very quickly into the body. Ex. Anything with sugar, also fruit
• Complex carbs: This is where you get long-term energy for the day. These are long chained carbohydrates that brake down slower, giving us energy over a prolonged period of time. Ex. Oatmeal, potatoes, pasta, rice, breads
• Fibrous carbs: These are things like vegetables. I think of them as roughage in order to stay regular. Make sure you include them in you later meals when you can't eat complex carbs. They are also a good source of vitamins. Ex. Leafy vegetables like lettuce.
Protein
Proteins are the building blocks of our muscles. Without a sufficient amount of protein in our diet, our muscles will not have the raw materials that they need to build up, or even hang on to what is already there.
Net protein utilization: Not all protein is created equal. Different foods are absorbed more than others. For example, egg white protein is absorbed at 88%. That means we get about 9 eggs to our muscles. On the other hand, chicken breast are absorbed at 68%, meaning we get about 7 breasts to our muscles. It is imported to eat a wide verity of protein foods though; no one protein source has all the amino acids we need.
Whey protein (100%): the best source of Whey protein is from protein supplements. It is also absorbed very fast by the body, so it is best to take this when your body needs amino acids quickly: like right after a workout or when you first get up in the morning.
• Egg whites (88%)
• Fish (78%)
• Chicken breast (78%)
Soy protein: My one bit of advice would be to try and stay away from Soy protein. It is not absorbed very well by the body.
Fats
We normally think of fats as being bad. The fact is certain fats are essential to building muscle and carrying out various functions of the body. There are 2 fat types we need to be concerned about:
• Saturated fats: these are the bad fats. Avoid these fats as much as possible. You will find these types of fats mostly in meats
• Unsaturated fats: these are the good fats. They are a good energy source and help us build muscle. You can find from plant oils. Peanuts are also a good source.
Water
Do not under estimate the importance of water! If you are looking to get lean, water will be your best friend. Drink as much as you can and as often as you can. Also, it is very important to drink lots of water when you're eating large amounts of protein to clean Urea from the system.
Vitamins & minerals
As resistance training athletes, we have a greater need for vitamins & minerals. When we workout and bring blood to our muscles it is important that our blood is full of those essential vitamins & minerals if we want to grow.
Supplements
Supplements are just that, meaning they are used to supplement your diet, not replace it. Don't ever think of it that way.
Hierarchy of supplements:
I developed this hierarchy of supplements based on what I thought were the most important and also by price.
• 1. Proper diet: Without proper diet you are just wasting money on supplements. Start here! Do not think that supplements are going to do it for you alone.
• 2. Multi-vitamin & mineral: It is very important to have all your vitamins & minerals when resistance training. Most of us are lacking in some areas, make it a priority to make this your first supplement.
• 3. Protein powder: It is usually very hard to get all the protein you need from real foods. Powders make it much easier. Also, these powders are absorbed fast by the body making them ideal after workouts or before and after sleep.
• 4. Creatine: This is great for harder workouts. It also makes you muscles hang on to water, giving them a better environment to grow.
• 5. L-Glutamine: This is an important amino acid in muscle recovery
• 6. Branch chained amino acid: These are great before and after workouts along with L-Glutamine because it gives your muscles all the amino acids it needs to repair and grow.
• 7. ZMA: This helps you release more growth hormone while you sleep, increasing your size and strength.
• 8. Thermogenic: These really help in the fat loss process. They also help you hang on to more muscle while dieting due to the fact you can eat more.
• 9. Meal replacement: Although very expensive, meal replacements make it much more convenient to get some of your meals in. Also, you can get in more meals than if you were to eat only real foods.
"The golden hour"
Remember "The golden hour" because it will make things so much easier for you. "The golden hour" is a window of opportunity we have to get everything we have depleted in our body back in a short amount of time. Think of your muscles as a gas tank: When you workout, you use gas for energy or in this case glucose. After a workout, our muscles are in a unique state. They are able to fill back up very quickly leaving you full for the next workout. If you wait to long, your muscles don't fill back up as easily and the carbs you eat are more likely to be stored as fat. Doing this will also let you take advantage of insulin's muscle building effects from the simple carbs you have ingested. You want to ingest 50-75 grams of simple carbs right after a workout. Also, this is when you want to take your protein shake because it will absorb quickly and supply your muscles with the amino acids that they need.
Insulin
This is a very complicated subject, but all we need to know is that insulin can help us build muscle or can make us fat depending on the timing. Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to elevated blood sugar levels. We can achieve a high blood sugar level by ingesting simple carbs. Like "the golden hour" we have a window of opportunity to take advantage of the muscle building effects of the insulin without getting fat. We have about 4 or 5 hours after we workout to take advantage of insulin. If we take in too many simple carbs out of this window, we are very likely to store fat.
Cheat day
The theory behind the cheat days is you take one day every 2 weeks to eat anything you want and actually get leaner. It might sound crazy, but it worked for me. When you eat low carbs for a time for body begins to think it is not getting all the food it needs (because your not storing any fat) and begins to slow down your metabolism. When you bombard your body with food on that one day, it tricks your body into thinking it has all it needs and speeds your metabolism back up. I can tell you from experience, every day after a cheat day I felt leaner and looked better.
Ketosis
This is when your body uses protein for energy. This happens when we have too few carbs in the body or when we over train. I went into the state of ketosis for only the last week of my 12-week transition for a couple of reasons: (1) I wanted all of my muscles to shrink down so when I carbed back up, my skin would be tighter. (2) When you go into ketosis it seems to bring the water out from under the skin. Don't go into this state to loose fat. Without carbs your body can not burn fat effectively. You will loose weight rather quickly, but only because you don't have as much glycogen in the muscle. Also, you are simply loosing water. Remember that proteins are the building blocks for muscle and that means they are fair game for energy when in the state of ketosis. I would not recommend going into this state unless you are trying to get into a super ripped state for a short amount of time, like for a bodybuilding contest.
