Quote by Tom Auditore de Firenze:
There are easier ways to lose weight without having to drink liquids all day. That doesn't even sound good. If nothing else just eat fruit bowls. Just throw grapes, strawberries, bananas, oranges, and anything else into a bowl and eat that. Then another main thing is cardio. Cardio will help alot more than diet. Get a treadmill or elliptical and have at it. 30 minutes to a hour. You can still eat things but you just have to be smart about what and how much.
I agree! The idea is to burn more calories than you intake. Don't drop from a 2000 calorie a day diet to 500! Find a way to burn 1500 more calories a day. Your metabolism needs to "exercise." Your body doesn't want to eat itself and will slow your metabolism to stop it from happening. That's why people who starve themselves for months to lose 30 lbs. end up gaining twice that much back after they stop.
Cardio and a sensible diet are the way to go here. Swimming is a near perfect form of exercise. It works every area of your body including your heart, and burns a lot of calories without the impact of jogging or running.
Tom is spot on here. You need to train your body, not deteriorate it away.
