Well type in ‘lose weight’.
You will find over 20,000 preexisting questions.
Try the misspellings ‘loose weight’ and there are another 5,500.
In all there are over 60,000 Health section questions requesting solutions to being or thinking you might be overweight.
On average these each yield 6 answers, that is over 360,000 answers.

I can usefully summarise these answers in 4 words:

EAT LESS DO MORE. Are you desperate enough to try this???

human’s insecurity and inability to see onelself as beautiful and lovable person?

okay so….

does it have anything to do with the fact that the person goes back to eating the same way and the same level of exercise?

if a person were to lose a lot a weight with a fad diet, then ate right and exercised consistently, would they still gain it back?

Cause fad diets aren’t realistic and don’t work. Just eat healthy and make good choices

I am doing a research project for my nutrition class and wondered what type of fad diets are popular now and seem to produce the best diet results?

My friends have been talking about the Swizzle Diet and say they feel great, have lots more energy and have lost inches within 2 weeks! It’s a great diet plan that is easy to stick with and you should give it a try.

not like weight watchers programs, but quick fad diets.

Drink only Brawndo. (it’s like Gatorade, but with electrolytes)

I don’ want any answers telling me about how fad diets are bad for you…

atkins will take more weight off faster than any other diet, but if you want weight gone quickly, i’ve heard that you can lose two pounds a day by eating one apple and two cans of tuna fish per day. and thats it.

When I was about 12 years old or so [a few years ago], my doctor suggested weightloss. He reccomended that I tried the South Beach diet [you know, the one where you cut carbs out completely!] Why would he do this rather than educate me on healthy lifestyle changes?

Actually, from what I’ve read of the south beach diet, it doesn’t suggest cutting carbs totally. It cuts out bad carbs and foods with a high "glycemic index". I wouldn’t really consider this a fad diet.

Fad diets are characterized by exaggerated claims of significant and quick weight loss and usually by unhealthy means.

I would put south beach diet underneath the "lifestyle change" category as it just encourages eating from healthier sources. It doesn’t make exaggerated promises. And there is evidence that it works and is healthy too (something most fad diets aren’t).

Actually, out of all the "diets" out there, this one is probably among the best. But really for weight loss, it all comes down to burning more calories than you consume. Although it is still important to get the right kind of nutrition from those calories, which is why diets like south beach are good.

I know this is probably a common question on this website, but I really need to lose my gut. Im 14 and 5′6". I weigh 140 lbs and I believe a good portion of the weight is in my stomach. My mother says its just baby fat, but I think if that was the case it would be gone right? Thanks a ton if you can give any answer at all.

Burn more calories everyday. It sounds simple but it works. Most people do not know how to calculate this. The basic formula is Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity.

The current issue of "Muscle and Fitness" magazine has some excellent Ab workout routines that won’t get you bored.

Remember, diet and exercise is best for lasting weight loss.

anybody have any fad diets that will make me lose 15 lbs by may 10.

im 5′4 , weigh 126, and 15 years old

Many of these diets — like the infamous Cabbage Soup Diet — can undermine your health, cause physical discomfort (abdominal discomfort and flatulence [gas] ) and lead to disappointment when you regain weight soon after you lose it.

*
Quick-weight-loss diets usually overemphasize one particular food or type of food. They violate the first principle of good nutrition: Eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. If you are able to stay on such a diet for more than a few weeks, you may develop nutritional deficiencies, because no one type of food has all the nutrients you need for good health. The Cabbage Soup Diet mentioned above is an example. This so-called fat-burning soup is eaten mostly with fruits and vegetables. The diet supposedly helps heart patients lose 10–17 pounds in seven days before surgery. There are no "superfoods." That’s why you should eat moderate amounts from all food groups, not large amounts of a few special foods.
*
These diets also violate a second important principle of good nutrition: Eating should be enjoyable. These diets are so monotonous and boring that it’s almost impossible to stay on them for long periods.

Let’s set the record straight: Many of these diets falsely say they are endorsed by or authored by our association. The public should know that the real American Heart Association diet and lifestyle recommendations emphasize flexibility in food selection and stress the importance of eating more nutrient-rich foods – that have vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients but are lower in calories – and fewer nutrient-poor foods. If you need to lose weight, see our recommendations for safe weight loss.

Unlike an incomplete liquid protein diet or other fad diets, a good diet can be eaten for years to maintain desirable body weight and good health. Fad diets fail to provide ways to keep weight off.

*
Some major medical centers prescribe extremely low-calorie, high-protein diets for selected patients who are carefully monitored by physicians.

In what other ways are quick-weight-loss diets flawed?

* Many don’t encourage physical activity — for example, walking 30 minutes most or all days of the week. Being physically active helps you maintain weight loss over a long time. Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
* Because most quick-weight-loss diets require drastic changes in eating patterns, you can’t stay on them for long. Following a regimen for a few weeks won’t give you the chance to learn about how to permanently change your eating patterns.
* In addition, many fad diets are based on "food folklore," some dating back to the early 19th century. They have not been documented to be safe in the long term. Ideas about "fat-burning foods" and "food combining" are also classified by the American Heart Association as unsubstantiated myths.

Despite what quick-weight-loss diet books may say, the only sensible way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight permanently is to eat less and balance your food intake with physical activity.

A healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat dairy products, along with regular physical activity, can help most people manage and maintain weight loss for both cardiovascular health and appearance. The American Heart Association urges people to take a safe and proven route to losing and maintaining weight — by following our guidelines for healthy, nutritionally balanced weight loss for a lifetime of good health.
