What is the best way to loose weight? I weigh 230 pounds and im 5'5?

Answer:
There are lots of ways to gently increase the amount of calories you burn to lose weight, without turning your life upside down - including having a good belly laugh every dayAlso becoming smarter about what you eat to ensure you are getting the best possible quality nutrition for your overall health is one of the most important things to learn.If you struggle with weight gain it’s a good bet that you have tried at least one of the “fad” diets that crop up on a regular basis. The truth is that some of these diets may grant you temporary weight loss. In the usual case, however, the weight returns as soon as you stray from the diet. The bottom line is that you gain weight because you consume more calories than your body is able to use and no diet is a substitute for good eating habits. Your body requires a certain number of calories in order to function properly. If you truly wish to lose weight, you must burn off more calories than your body requires. The most important tool in your weight loss program does not include diet or exercise. There is no special equipment you need to purchase. You don’t need to join a gym or health club. Here are some healthy ways to burn more calories;

Start with your doctor. Make sure there is not health problems or underlying chemical imbalances.
Then:
1. Get rid of all the boxed, junk, and sugary foods, sodas, etc.
2. Buy all kinds of fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits, very lean meats, whole grain, low carb breads and pastas, and nothing with high fructose corn syrup in the top five ingredients.
3. Eat 1500 calories a day and walk for 30 minutes a day. Break the walking up in to shorter times if it is too hard at first.
4. Check out the calorie counters on the web.
5. Limit your carbs to 27 per meal or less.
6. Consider going to Weight Wathers. It is fun, it is cheap and it works for life.
7. Get a notebook and keep track of your daily meals, calories, carbs, and exercise.
8. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
9. Take a multi-vitamin
10. Only eat 2-4 oz of meat at a time.
11. Check out all the free info on the net, expecially the FDA site, WebMD and sites like that.
Get a buddy, or support in your area so it is fun and you are accountable. Enjoy your new energy and health.

Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.
*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle.
Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days;
squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!
*This information is based on my personal and professional experience.

It's simple: Less food, more exercise. I ate nothing but plain tuna mixed with peas and noodles for three months and lost 30 lbs. I also walked, ran, did the stairmaster, and had a job that required lifting. That was 15 years ago, and I have kept the weight off. I was able to maintain my slim figure by realizing that I had to change my body's way of thinking and, ultimately, my way of life. So will you. You can't eat what you want anymore - those days are gone. You have to exercise. You have to. If you are uncomfortable being seen in front of other people, then try using DVDs. I really get a lot out of Tae-Bo. It is fun, Billy is very motivating, and I can do it in the privacy of my own living room. I am sure you feel hopeless, but don't. There are thousands of people who have faced the same challenge, and they met it head on and succeeded. Why not you? Why not now?

Diet and exercise. eat healthy id suggest for you the
"30, 30, 40 rule" 30% of your daily food intake should be good lean proteine (chicken fish etc.) 30% should be good mono-unsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts, peanutbutter etc.) and 40% should be complex carbs (carbs from fruits and veggies) eat 6 times daily, not whole huge meals 6 times but small meals like an apple with peanutbutter on it. Try eating a proteine with every meal. And always eat breakfast.
Exercise everyday. jump rope, jog, do abdominal work. buy a stability ball and use that. If you are serious join a gym and hire a personal trainer. Diet and exercise are the only ways you will lose weight.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

well, eat almost everything but with limits... if you feel hungry and you just ate lunch or dinner, eat fruits and vegetables! in addition, youcould drink as much water as possible! it's the 70% of your body and it will give you the feeling that you r full too, so you won't feel hungry the whole time! cellulite will be vanished too! and how about start walking to the supermarket even if it's 5 or 20 minutes far from home? one hour of walking is good for the heart, works out the muscles of the feet and tummy and helps lose weight, too... but remember, your body needs alla elements that it can only find in food, but reduce, slty or sweet snacks, and if you can't, at least try to work out and drink water! it needs patience, but if you need good results with no health problems, you have to be patient...good luck!
