Some tips for weight loss.
1. Eat less.
2. Do exercise.
3. Drink more water.
4. Avoid smoking.
5. Skip Fast foods.

My tip for weight loss is to drink lots of black coffee. It has no calories, it sates your hunger, and it makes you more motivated to exercise. Side effects may include going insane.

Methylphenidate (ritalin / rubifen) works even better, but you would need a diagnosis of ADHD or something.

Or you could do something responsible and non-addictive, like changing your habits. But where's the fun in that?

Run 3-5 times a week till you puke or you get sick and you'll burn it all off in a few months.

If you want to lose weight do not eat sugar or anything made from enriched flour. Do not eat potatoes or drink juices. Eat a lot of fish and veggies. Fruits are good, and will keep blood sugar from getting too low. You will lose weight in no time. Be sure to eat plenty of veggies and get protein everyday. I like to drink Green Tea and suck on sugar free candy whenever I crave sweets. Werther's Original sugar free candies are really good with about eight calories each in the minis. It's like having a cup of coffee with cream and sugar.

Just remember, pasta, bread, orange juice, potatoes, all break down into sugar that feeds fat cells in the body so you have to not eat or drink these to shed pounds.

You can't simply eat less, you need to slowly and gradually come away from eating excess calories. If you are taking a caloric intake of 5000, you need to slowly go down each fortnight or month to 4500 or 4000 and keep progressing downwards as you lose weight and reach your body fat goal.

You need to learn a sustainable life plan for staying healthy. You can work yourself to death and lose a lot of weight, but is it sustainable? You need something that fits your life without it getting in the way of it.

I forgot to mention, eat plenty of beans, all varieties. They are so good for you and they help your body regulate your weight. Also, do not ingest artificial sweeteners as they interfere with the liver breaking down body fat. Once you lose weight, use them to maintain weight but while trying to lose, don't rely on them to replace sugar unless it's a sugar free candy once or twice a day. Stick with small candies that are too small to really matter, but don't eat too many or it's like drinking a diet soft drink!

I have been experimenting with healthy foods since I started a healthy food diet in January without sugar, flour products like bread and pasta, and potatoes. I found it's really easy to cook a great soup in no time flat out of cooked beans, one onion, minced garlic, a couple stalks of celery, chopped, salmon, chicken breast, the stock I cooked the beans in, and, depending on what kind of beans I am using, either chili powder, cumin and garllic salt or thyme and garlic salt. With Pinto or Cranberry beans, I stick to the southwestern Tex Mex spices. I might even one chopped Roma tomato. With Great Northern or Navy beans, I season with thyme and garlic salt. I always make sure I saute one chopped yellow onion, celery and a teaspoon minced garlic and a sprinkle of garlic salt in olive oil before adding everything else because the onions aren't flavorful otherwise. I also add a tablespoon of vinegar. After adding everything to the onion/ celery mixture, I bring it to a boil and reduce it some, then I simmer it 15 to 30 minutes. in a dutch oven with a lid. I cook the beans first after soaking them, at the very least, overnight. Most bean varieties will cook up faster the longer I soak them, so I try to five them half a day and overnight to soak in a pan of water. Then I rinse them and look through them thoroughly, then put them in a dutch oven and put enough hot water from the tap on them so the dutch oven is nearly full. I add three Bay leafs, some salt, three of four frozen salmon fillets and three or four frozen chicken breast tenderloins. I bring everything to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium until the beans are tender. I use the chicken and salmon in the soup after shredding it by mashing it with a spoon while it's still in the pan. The water the beans cook in makes a flavorful soup stock. I find this to be a very nutritious meal and low in fat. It isn't loaded with sodium, either. The garlic salt is important, though. Without it, the soup is very bland.

I am not sure how much weight I lost on this soup diet, but my clothes are much looser now, and I look thinner. I eat other things beside the soup, but it has grown on me and now I think it's better tasting than the junk food I used to eat. My taste buds have detoxified from sugar. Fruit tastes much sweeter to me now. I can't believe how sweet it tastes, when before, nothing compared to the sweetness of sugar.

Doesn't removing all gluten, yeast, milk and sugar containing foods cause gigantic weight loss in most people?

And like removing all the meats from your plate except for chicken?

This is what caused me to slim down massively.

Can't say I'm regretting this diet.

There's really no magic formula to it; I've been both overweight and down to a mere 7% bodyfat--so I know what I'm talking about. It's all about the classic "calories in vs. calories out" equation.

Having said that, proteins are very beneficial. Before they're converted to energy, they're used to repair wear and tear on muscle. The body also uses more energy breaking down proteins than it does breaking down carbs, so hypothetically speaking, a diet consisting of 3000 calories in pure protein, would be a lot less fattering than a dies consisting of 3000 calories in pure carbs (not that any of them is possible in the real world).
