    Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

    Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

    You can always eat negative calorie foods for weight loss and below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism.

    Negative Calorie Fruits:

    apples

    cranberries

    grapefruit

    lemons

    mangoes

    oranges

    pineapple

    raspberries

    strawberries

    tangerines

    Negative Calorie Vegetables:

    asparagus

    beets

    broccoli

    cabbage (green)

    carrots

    cauliflower

    celery

    Chile peppers (hot)

    cucumber

    dandelions

    endives

    garden cress

    garlic

    green beans

    lettuce

    onions

    papaya

    radishes

    spinach

    turnips

    These foods don't actually have negative calories but when you eat these foods raw or slightly cooked your body burns more calories digesting and processing them than what is in the food itself.

    For a healthy weight loss add some of these foods to your diet each day. Most of them are full of healthy nutrients such as fiber, antioxidants and enzymes as well as vitamins and minerals.

    If you want it bad enough then you will work for it. Eat healthy and exercise is the only way, any others can be detrimental to your health.
