I need an effective diet?

I need to lose weight for a special event coming up which is in exactly one month. I exercise 4 times a week for about 25 minutes each time. I drink lots of water. I need a specific diet, meaning one that tells me how much and what to eat. Please help!

    Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-

    PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth

    The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.

    Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.

    To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.

    Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.

    Take care and God Bless !

    Ok i just started mine and i'll tell you my killer plan ;)

    so yes arobics everyday, hardcore for like 30min.

    Now for food:

    Breakfast: ONLY FRUIT! try 2 whole fruits or a cup of strawberries and a few orange slices with a little cup of milk, or a drink of warm lemon water. Or some water melon, whatever you like but keep it diet portioned.

    LOTS OF WATER

    So your biggest of all your 3 small meals will be break fast then lunch medium and supper is the smallest ... GOT IT! good :)

    lunch will consist of only raw veggies and like a table spoon size of grain.

    Dinner will be only a few veggies and maybe some more fruit as well.

    This is very HARD CORE, but the benefits are not only you will be waaay skinnier, you will feel extra healthy, and your skin will be looking RADIANT!

    Try at least three times a week to end the day with some nice pilates and stomach situps to flatten that tummy even more!

  • Eat exactly 1000 calories of turkey a day. Jog 3 miles every day and drink water. The Turkey and Miles diet will shed the pounds

    Do aerobics, you fat will BURRRRRRRRRN like butter melts on a hot pan!

    Best aerobics: Light jogging for 30 mins everyday for 6 days a week. You will also feel totally fit, strong and aggressive and have a better sex life ;)

    The only diet is completely cut down on white sugar and "Fat" foods. I mean no chese,butter,icecream,milk,chicken,yolk,red meat etc

    No white sugar - means no sodas,cakes.icecreams etc

    Other crash diets are fad. You will easily gain back all the weight u lose

    am I tempting you too much ;)

    The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

    *1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

    *2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

    Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

    http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carboh...

    Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG....

    *3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

    Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

    A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

    *4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

    *5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com/

    Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.
