Couldn't find anything on Google, so thought I'd add my two cents... I host one annually, lost 9% of my weight in a month, so here are the basics.
- Eat like a pig before slaughter ahead of the initial weigh-in. Tons of salt leading up to it.
- Once you start, eat less and exercise more (duh).
- No beer - get used to drinking wine and vodka sodas.
- Drink tons of water all day. Ideally drink soda water - fills you up and has no calories. Cut it back 24 hours before your weigh-in.
- Keep fruit around all the time. Eat nothing but fruit before 12pm every day.
- 24 hours before the weigh-in, put a warm tracksuit on and hit the boxing gym for an hour.
more as I think of it....
[I still lost the competition - amazing to think there are people even more obsessive than me]
For me losing weight will jut fall in eating the right kind of food and daily exercise. We just have to maintain a healthy lifestyle for a healthy weight.

"No beer - get used to drinking wine and vodka sodas"
I don't think so.
Don't drink alcohol at all.

I have some comments to make about weight loss in general - I have seen a lot of people just look atthe BMI numbers and panic! Dont just rely on BMI as "the" indicator of your weight. If you really want to know your "healthy weight for your height" - you must also consider a few other factors such as : your age, your level of activity per day (how active you are and what kind of work you do), you blood cholesterol levels, whether you are diabetic, your waist size, cardiac or heart related ailments - a number of other factors. But BMI does give you something to think about - its a good starting point.
Then there are ways you can lose weight - my favorite being the one which will be more aligned with a change in lifestyle. I always believed that losing weight is very closely related to changes in lifestyle. I embraced this concept and took me about 7 months - but now, 3 years since I have maintained that weight - without feeling i am doing anything extra!
what i did was gradually changed my breakfast to contain oatmeal and fruit, and some non oily stuff, started walking more - i do about 3 miles a day now (not much), i eat a good normal lunch - just stay off the fats as much as i can, i drink a lot more water, 3 liters per day at least, i keep my dinner light and keep at least 2.5 hours gap between dinner and bed time. Thats it! i do have alochol during the weekends - but not too much.
It took me a while to get into the routine -but it worked - i am healthier, lighter, and more active after i lost those extra pounds!

I think natural or herbal diet pills are safe too use. They don't have side effect.pills like stratzol burn fat in a natural way.Choosing the right pill is important.

All great tips, but it can be hard to find time to actually have a sit down homemade meal, especially when you are juggling classes, extracurricular activities, and a job.

Wow, while that sounds like fun, it seems like it could create terrible habits. The best way to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle is to find a diet and exercise plan that you can actually maintain over time, not just one you can manage for a couple of weeks.

In my opinion, balanced diet is essential for loosing weight. A good intake of water helps immensely in the proper digestion of food. Water also flushes out the harmful waste products from the body. http://www.nutritionslim.co.uk/

Most of us have hectic schedules, that's why it's so important to exercise while you right at home. Having a balanced lifestyle and diet are key but you need to exercise to lose weight quickly.
