I know your looking for results fast etc..
loosing weight fast typically involves loss of water and if
you don't keep up with keeping the weight off it'll all come back.
It took me almost 1.5 years to loose a shit load of weight. (long period of time best way to lose it and keep it off)
I was 195 ish, I'm now 155-160. I agree 100% with Steve, water, water,water.
I drink about 5-8 16once glasses a day. (I piss a lot) ,
the major thing that helped me loose weight was changing my diet(and I'm not talking going vegitarian like I am now), even if you eat out a lot , I do as well. I tarted by limiting my red meat intake, red meat really isn't all that healthy for ya, you don't have to stop but reduce it. I then started eating my vegitables , fish, pork and chicken and basically stopped eating red meat altogether. became very disciplined at not eating junk foods between meals (ie oily fucking chips) I allowed my self only toastitos and salsa, as it's probably the only junk food that ain't to fatning.
my diet is now about 55% proteins from various sources, mainly fish and soy products,
about 35% carbs, you don't have to give up breads etc, but cheese will fucking kill ya mainly dairy products in general, and about 10% fats (the good ones)
and in doind do I lost about 40lbs and I didn't do any type of exercise.
Now on top of keeping a pretty strict diet , I figure if I can discipline myslef to keep eating healthy, keeping a moderate exercise routine should be easy, my problem is finding someone to play sports with like tennis, my wife trys but she's not into it, but I work out every few days a week, and in doing so I've held my weight quite constant.
yeah you can still cheat and have a piece of cheese cake or some other type of foods that you love you just have to do it all in moderation.
