    exercise won't be as effective as diet. So based on your current weight you shouldn't have an issue losing the 3 lbs. the other posters talking about it not being healthy are blowing that way out of proportion. So basically 2lbs a week is healthy by 3 is bad? please. the body doesn't work that way.

    As long as you don't extend this 3lbs a week or more goal for a long duration, at your current body weight its fine.

    If you are an average to high carb diet already, you can switch to a keto/low carb diet and in about 3 days you will drop a ton of water weight. probably wont make you look much different in the mirror but if all you care about is the number on the scale then this would be my best advice. shoot for 20g of carbs a day or so, and try to get them from green leafy veggies instead of breads. and obviously to fill out the rest of your daily calories increase the fat and protein. try to get about 1g of protein for every pound of lean body mass you have (if you don't know your current LBM, then just eat 1g for every kg you weigh (or about 100g in your scenario). get the rest of your calories from fat.

    oh if we're going on the sarcastic route... then don't eat dinner tonight and just go get hammered on vodka! you might be hung over tomorrow, but you will be so dehydrated that you will likely drop 5 lbs :)

    It's definitely possible. Try out whole30: www.whole30.com.

    Basically,
    No Grains
    No Legumes
    No Added Sugar
    No Dairy
    No Alcohol or Soda or Juice

    Only real/clean food (Meat, Veggies, Fruits, Nuts, Eggs, use coconut oil to cook). Drink TONS of water (warm lemon water in the AM is good too!) Good luck!

    lol, btw the online reviews for these are amazing. I was almost tempted to buy them a few months ago to see if they actually had the effect everyone claims, but then I realized I really don't want to do that to myself :P

    Hi again and thank you for all the replies. I guess that was a loaded question on a site like this. First let me be clear I am not doing any kind of drastic stuff to lose weight, I have been losing since November, slowly and in a healthy way. I am very sick I have diabetes that is out of wack right now with high blood pressure and cholesterol and have recently been diagnosed with liver disease from fatty enlarged liver. My spleen and liver are very damaged. My abdomen is swelled the size of a basket ball and I am unable to eat with out pain and discomfort. I am under the supervision of a diabetic and heart specalist a diatician and gp. And am now waiting to see another specailist for my liver. I have been put on a raw blended diet and cleared for exersize. It has been discussed and reccomended that I lose 10 to 20% of my body weight. At minamum just to start to feel better. The advice I was looking for I guess was maybe foods that burn more calories and the best activities to burn the most calories. It just so happens the extra one pound I want to lose this week is the personal goal I set for myself in January to be under 220 by April 1st. Thanks for all the replies so if there are any activities to burn good cals or foods that boost matabolism could you please help me out.

    No certain food burns more calories, to my knowledge. But I'm not very educated in that area. Maybe just lower your sodium/carbs and up your protein? If that's the answer you were seeking.

    Eating more fiber is the best way to get your system to be efficient in the way it digests food, so increase those veggies and fill up on them!
    Also, bananas are brilliant! A little known fact is that adults require 5000mg of potassium a day, and each banana has approx 422mg of potassium, so don't be scared to have a few! Potassium helps with weight loss (http://www.weightloss.com.au/diet/diet-articles/potassium-and-weight-loss.html)

    I would suggest filling up on nutrient dense foods, rather than "empty calories", focus on what each food gives you in vitamins and minerals.
