Build muscle to lose fat
Bill in Wilmington, NC -
I have lost 40 pounds in the last two months doing the following:
1. Lift weights moderately three times a week. Fifteen minute warmup and cooldown on the stationary bike. No extended aerobics or cardio.
2. Eat every three hours during the day with protein shakes between meals.
3. Eliminate all sugars, including fructose and corn syrup. Eat veggies, complex carbs (potatoes, pasta, etc.) and chicken, meat and fish. Eat peanuts and almonds for snacks. Don't worry about fat in a food if it has high protein.
4. No carbs after 3 PM. Eat your carbs early and your veggies late, with protein all day.
5. At least two quarts of water per day.
This works by changing the ratio of muscle to fat in your body. Increasing muscle increases basal metabolism since muscle requires energy to maintain while fat does not.

Lemonwater and cranberry juice
terri g in warren, ri -Squeeze the juice of one lemon, half of a glass of warm water and a shot of 100% cranberry juice. If you're over 150lbs. drink it twice a day. Cleans your liver, colon, blood, lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, therefore it eliminates a lot of symptoms and ailments. Do not add sugar, or else the results are not the same.

Five tips
Chubby in Anytown, AT 55555 -1. Remember that you can't control the effects of your hormones and DNA. Love yourself no matter what shape or size your DNA set you up for.
2. Eat a fresh fruit or vegetable with every meal. The fiber and water will help you feel full without adding a lot of extra calories.
3. Eat a square or two of dark chocolate every day. Really. It burns fat. (Make sure it's dark, bittersweet chocolate. No milk chocolate)
4. Walk or ride a bike instead of driving. You can't always do this, but if you can even do small, local errands this way you'll burn calories and save money, too.
5. Give thanks to God that you have enough to eat.

Lumbar belts
terri g. in warren RI -
Those lumbar belts with the inside padding for spinal support? Keep it extra snug while hanging around the house (the time when we indulge in extra food) and you won't eat as much because your stomach is compressed, but not uncomfortable. At the same time it's helping your posture. double benefit.

Lose Weight
Mistie in TEXAS -The only thing that you really need to remember:
Your body gets full when it gets full. Everybody's body has a certain limit. The best way to help you get rid of those extra pounds is to take a drink of any kind of liquid after every bite you swallow. It's a pain in the butt, but when you get full, you'll look down and see more left on your plate. Let some liquids take the place of some of the solids. You will still get full, but the liquids come out of your body quicker than the solids.
Another thing that I have learned from experience: Put smaller portions on your plate, and leave the food in the kitchen. most of us are too lazy to get up and walk to go refill our plates. This insures that you eat less.

Some Common Sense Tips, and Research too.
Barbara in Clyde, NC, USA -I have struggled with weight loss all my life due to a medication taken by my mother during pregnancy in the 50's. Not all weight trouble can be solved by dieting. Research your own health. Take a look at how your parents ate and what your mother did while pregnant with you. Find out your thyroid levels, metabolism, and allergies. Talk to your doctor about these things.
Then, as a common sense measure, stop drinking any type of soda. The chemicals are killing you. Slowly eliminate all packaged and prepared foods, as well as fast food. Get back to basics, its the only way to make your body happy and healthy. There is no such thing as a quick fix. The first step to success is being honest about the problem.

Get a Juicer!
Marcia Micheals in California -Get a Juicer!
Juicers are indispensable to dieters and those on a detoxifying program. This is an excellent way to eat vegatables in liquid form without the bulk or cellulose - occasionally one or 2 days a week.
You will find that with fresh juices available, soda pop, ice cream, canned juices, and nutritionless commercial drinks become a thing of the past.

General Tips for Weight Loss
Carol in CT -They say that everybody over age 45 is on some kind of diet. But to tell you the truth, I feel like I have been on a diet my whole adult life!
Anyway, here some general tips for weightloss
1. Eat only when you are hungry, not by the clock
2. Chew food thoroughly, and eat slowly
3. Avoid multicourse banquets and buffets
4. Simplify your meals, eat fruits at one meal, vegetables at another. (Protein and starch are difficult to digest together.)
5. Don't overeat, it wears out your organs and stretches out your stomach.
6. Don't drink liquids with your meals or at the end of a meal.(bad habit)
7. Skip the meal if you are overtired, nervous, or stressed about family or business
8. No eating between meals
9. Don't eat fruit at night
10. Give up sugar, salt, vinegar, starch, and foods that contain them
11. Avoid TV snacks and drinks (Oh dear, there goes my Orville popcorn)
12. Stop eating packaged and artificially made foods.(Yikes! What's left?)
I feel like I would starve if I did all this! But I remember a long time ago, someone asked an elderly man what he attributed to his long life, and he answered, "I always leave the table hungry"
