- encognito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+91. Set Goals (Duh!)
2. Get out of the office! (Duh!)
3. 20% exercise, 80% diet (Totally agree, nothing worse than looking at a 1 pound gain after a strenuous weekly workout because your diet is crap.)
4. Pack your lunch / cook (Nothing but 100% truth here but beware of packing junk food that masquerades as health food.)
5. Get a partner (Not my bag but I am independent and consider exercise a stress release from other people’s drama.)
6. Set a time that’s right for you (Good point)
7. No fad diets – EVER (Diets never work, you have to fundamentally change your approach to food. Everybody has that foodstuff they can’t live without. You need to incorporate such item(s) into your eating habits so that you won’t feel deprived but at the same time don’t overdo it on the calories.)
8. The right way and the wrong way (Agree wholeheartedly. Nothing sends me to the sofa and fridge faster than the thought that I NEED to lose 5 pounds a week for 6 weeks!)
9. Drink lots of water throughout the day (Dehydration is a killer!)
10. Don’t eat before bed (I agree with this tip but not for his reasons. A calorie is a calorie no matter when it is eaten. I wouldn’t eat right before bed because I tend to overeat on junk food late at night, which leads to an upset stomach and subsequent weight gain.)
11. Don’t listen to your parents (Better yet start with a small plate to begin with. This way you can retain the habit of finishing your plate as a signal to stop eating.)
12. Do your homework (Big agreement. It is all about trial and error to find what works for you for the long term.)
13. Be committed (Duh.) - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10hell yea, i shall play a couple of rounds of Wii tennis every morning.
- wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11OK, I'm going to let you diggers in on a little secret. When you see us out running in the early morning, late at night, in the cold, rain, etc? You think we are some kind of weirdos who love running?
Well, hot tip. Most of us really don't. I'm planning on a 6-10 mile run tomorrow morning. And I'm dreading it. I'd much rather sleep late, eat a bunch of waffles for breakfast, watch football, take a nap, and generally sit on my ass all day. But it's bad for me. I need to exercise to stay healthy. So suck it up and get it done. - Flanker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7So your advice to someone who doesn't enjoy running is . . . look how far I can run!?

[Disclaimer: I use Linux often and love it. But it could be easier.] - ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"10. Don’t eat before bed
This is another weight loss tip. When you go to sleep your body slows down metabolizing. If you eat right before bed this metabolic slowing may cause extra weight gain."
Myth. Calories burned while sleeping is about 80-90% of calories burned while walking down the street and 110% of calories burned while sitting in front of the television set. Most of the energy in your body is used for the purpose of keeping your heart beating, your brain functioning, your lungs moving, and your body temperature consistent.
This is why 20% exercise, 80% diet works. It's because exercising doesn't create a significant increase in calorie loss compared to dieting on its own (although it helps to build muscle, which increases energy need, and increases cardiovascular strength, which increases oxygen efficiency for endurance and fat burning, which increases your resting metabolic rate).
If you walk 3 or 4 miles, you'll lose about 300 calories. That's two cans of soda. If you run the same amount of time, you'll burn about 600-1000 calories. But either way you look at it, you're still burning between 75-100 calories/mile no matter how fast or hard you pound the pavement.
Technically, if you're 180 pounds, you're burning up to 2000 calories a day doing absolutely nothing. Zip. Zero. Sitting on your ass costs more energy than that expended by running 20 miles. Just to put things in perspective. - encognito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You need to walk before you can run. Literally. Nearly everyone can walk. I have lost 55+ pounds mostly due to walking. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen an obviously out of shape idiot step onto a treadmill and attempt to jog or run. They show up every December or January and are gone by February due to injury, illness or quick burnout. The real culprit of course is stupidity. I say it again; you need to walk before you can run.
- Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9A great way is to run every morning before working. About 3 miles is great for your body!

- glmory, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7"If we liked to run, we wouldn't need weight loss tips, would we?"
while this is true, it is good to be reminded that this is a pretty much fail safe method. I have known several people who have lost 50+ pounds by getting off their ass and running a few miles a day - krazytom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Durrok, the article you pointed to shows that not eating before bed doesn't mean anything. It just means you're eating less.
If you eat fewer calories and/or exercise more, you lose weight. Doesn't matter what time. - omnithought, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Will people stop pimping eDiets? They're a ripoff!

installpkg muscle-2.2.8-human-1.tgz - looselips, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4There really is no secret diet. From experience all you really need to do is eat less calories. You can eat sweets and favorites but they need to be in a portion or less.
Start reading the nutritional facts on the side of packages and try to convince yourself to eat less of the really bad stuff.
Bad stuff= any trans fat, saturated fats, high Total Fat, or high Carbohydrate drinks ( including some regular beer, and all sodas.)
Always only snack on a portion. Put a handful of chips, candy, etc.. on a paper plate. Gradually reduce how many times you rely on these items.
For those times you "NEED!!" something, try lemonade, or some other natural suppressant. I like "fruit and nut" granola bars to tide me over until I can eat a meal.
This change got me to lose 40 lbs without much exercise in 9 months. The weight comes off slowly and naturally without effort.
I no longer rely on sugar and caffeine to get me by, and I feel better for it.
Free advice for all cool digg members, for the others, I doubt anything will ever help. Loose ten pounds.. cut off ur head.. - jayesbee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I'm not sure I would consider The South Beach diet a fad.... It suffers from a bad name, but it was developed by a cardiologist and advocates lean meats, "good fats" in moderation, whole grains in moderation, and avoiding processed foods as much as possible.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Meh, I'm gonna let you do it for me.
- missflibbles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3yeah, but if you switch to diet you've got the health risks to be concerned about other than just getting fat.
The artificial sweeteners only cause cancer in lab animals in ridiculously high dosages, but it is possible some of consume close to that. Also, a lot of this stuff hasn't been around long enough to really know what it does to us. I'll be the last person to be afraid of science, but I'll take good old high fructose corn syrup over Splenda any day.
I wish they'd just go back to using cane sugar. I'd pay more for it. :( - theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Get a partner"
amen to that - david76, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Losing weight is about making adjustments to diet and exercise. It's not complicated. Take something simple like breakfast. I went from two eggs (egg beaters) and two slices of toast (one w/ jelly) every morning to a bowl of oatmeal. That's a 400 calorie difference. Roughly equivilent to walking two miles every day. I also walk for 30 minutes a day at a 4mph pace up hill. On top of that, I started cooking dinner (lots of chicken, salad and veggies) and eating simple sandwiches for lunch. I've gone from 185 lbs to 160 lbs and lost 4 inches around the waist in a few months. Clothes fit better, I have more energy and I feel better.
A few small changes can have a big impact over time. Start with something simple, like changing your breakfast. Then add exercise. Then start cooking dinners for yourself. - CEpeep, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4For most people, this is indeed the fastest way to lose weight and see fast results (assuming you can stay committed to it). The only things I regularly drink anymore are water and an occasional coffee. Whenever I have soda or other beverages, it's a special treat, much like a rich chocolate or special dessert.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Great call. Running is such a great aerobic activity. I've found that excessive weight has not been my problem, it's just a general inability to perform highly-aerobic activities.
- Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4or switch to diet. While it still has many negative health benefits it's better then the massive amount of sugar in the regular versions. I personally can't stand mnt dew anymore but diet mnt dew is like crack to me.
- Ramble, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I eat ***** (I'm never full, never) and I also walk/run a LOT with quite a bit of weight on my back.
I've been thin all my life.
So the secret is either walk alot or be blessed with the right proteins. - TimDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+211. Don’t listen to your parents

I gained 10 lbs, stopped eating before bed, and lost it again without any other changes. It's generally bad for everyone, just some people don't gain weight from it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4No, some random spammer: http://digg.com/software/The_Spam_Farms_of_the_Social_Web_if_you_are_a_regular_digg_user_read_this - and nearly 1,000 Digg users fell for it.
Well done, everyone. - glmory, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"right genes?"
while it may help a little bit. the simple fact that obesity rates have shot up from like 3% to like 30% while genes stayed the same rules out genetics as the main cause in 9 out of 10 fat people. - gomvents, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1http://www.lookcut.com is a much better resource...

http://www.mustweightloss.com/ - ddxChrist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3These recent health articles have been quite lame, uninformative, or simply inaccurate.
Saying "20% exercise, 80% diet" is just wrong. You want a healthy diet to begin with, and from there you can exercise and reduce caloric intake to lose mass (you'll lose muscle as well due to necessary conversions to glucose, but predominantly fat).
While I don't aim for weight loss, as that isn't a concern for me, exercise is still crucial. I don't do cardio at this stage because it conflicts with muscle gain, but for someone trying to lose weight it is incredibly beneficial. The best time to do it is in the morning, before eating. The energy will be derived from bodily stores, eventually coming from fat.
Also, I'd recommend weight training to boost your metabolism. Whereas aerobic exercise is quick at depleting fat reserves, eventually increasing muscle mass will raise your metabolism and keep fat from returning. - blonderengel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Well, I sure as hell digg sedation dentistry.
- daofma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So what's your advice for someone who gets shin splints after running half a mile?
Not everyone can run 3 miles off the bat... (noting that I weigh 140 lbs) -
