No it’s not going to work,but I have found a way to get active and have fun losing weight,and that it takes time but works.Believe me I am the most person who was always lazy and bored and never do anything,but that’s all changed now and that if you just put in some type of exercise and eat the right foods in the right portion sizes,then you will lose the weight the fun,safe,and healthy way,good luck.

Quick weight loss often does not work because the individual has not learned healthy eating habits that will maintain the weight loss or broken the habits that led to weight gain to begin with.
Also, it is often achieved by not eating enough. When you stop eating as much, you first lose weight because your body is still used to working with more food, i.e. it does not take as much from what you have eaten because there is plenty of it. Once your body realizes you are no longer ingesting as much food on a regular basis, it starts taking more out of what you do eat. Then, you go back to eating more food, but your body is still in emergency mode, taking all it can from all the food you eat. Clearly, this will result in taking in too much nutrients and you will gain weight again.
This also helps explain the calorie thing.
Nichole Richie is still starving herself. References :
Starving yourself is never a good idea. Your body begins to go into starvation mode and starts taking nutrients out of your muscles instead of fat stores. . . And since muscle burns more calores than fat. . . well, that’s not a good thing. References :
Your metabolism will slow down and you will stop losing weight (body thinks it’s in a famine so it tries to store calories). Once you get off this diet and start eating regularly you will start gaining weight (body thinks it needs to store more calories for next famine). The protective function of the human body is to survive.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
