Rates of Exercise
Different intensities of exercise burn different fuel types.Hi intensity aerobic exercise burns liver glycogen,not fat.If your intention is to build muscle hi intensity aerobic exercise cannabalizes muscle and protein. To burn fat you need to be able to talk and breathe._This is how you determine you have reached the "fat burning"zone.Distinguish between "aerobic"and "anaerobic"before begiining an exercise programme else you may not achieve your goal.

Get your wisdom teeth extracted - I looked like a well beaten up gerbil for a week, and in that time lost a stone with no effort at all.
I think it is essential to ensure you have all 4 removed at the same time, under general anaesthetic on an overnight in hospital where they have used hammer & chisel to get one out which has fused to the jaw-bone.....this will def ensure the correct amount of bruising and pain to prevent effective eating for a week.
cheers

Having lost 17lbs in 5 weeks I would say the quickest way to lose weight is to eat significantly less and exercise everyday. Of course, this is not the most healthy option and you do risk depriving your body of the total amount of calories it needs, especially in these winter months but I did it purely as an exercise to see what could be done if I put my mind to it.....
If you wish to lose weight and keep it off then read a thread I started some time back. There were some very good responses, particularly from Aztruck, who explains why it's not such a good idea to starve your body in order to lose weight. Read Here
My personal opinion is that diets like the Atkins and such are probably doing you more harm than good in the long run. Your body needs carbs so how could it be good to deprive yourself of them? Fat is unhealthy but not giving your body the correct sustenance is bad too. Read up on Rosemary Connelly diets. She insists that the best way to lose weight is to eat less fat and do more exercise and that's basically my view too. If you eat less fat then your body starts using up its fat stores - that's not rocket science and it sounds much healthier than some of these lifestyle diets out there.
Best of luck and remember - it's what's on the inside that really matters.

What about....?
EFAs..essential Fatty Acids.Its not the fat but the type of fat you consume.Deprive your body of Omega 3,6 and 9 and you are in trouble.All are EFAs and need to be consumed in the correct ratio.

I'm sorry, but people who say that eating fat makes you fat really dont know what they are talking about.
It's not eating the fat that makes you fat but eating fat combined with the massive volumes of carbs as well.
The human body was not designed to eat masses of refined carbohydrate, it was designed to eat primarily animal tissue and basic carbs like vegetables.
High doses of carbohydrate such as bread, potatoes and pasta cause massive insulin production, which causes the over production of glucose in the blood to be stored as fat.
High fat and protein diets, combined with low carbohydrate produce a state of Ketosis which means that your energy is being produced by burning fat, not blood sugar, (which means that the layer of fat under your skin is being taken away)
Its a much more natural diet, despite what the western protanagists of the food pyramid may tell you.
I went on this diet 18 months ago, and lost 3.5 stone.
...And I'm as fit a a butchers dog!

Virgin,
I believe the Atkins diet works because the usual inadvertant high protien diet. Researchers found that protien makes you less hungry calorie for calorie. So the truth of the matter seems to be eat more lean meat like chicken and fish (not fried).
If you want to take to much more reliable exercise method then it is important to do two things:
1) Eat more complex carb like pasta, honey, bananas, potato and greatly reduce simple carbs like sugar, snickers, etc!! Complex carbs do not provide an insulin rush, they are broken down gradually like the body of hours rather then the minutes (quick hit) of simple sugars.
2) When it comes to exercising don't fall into the trap of thinking that pain = gain. All pain = is injury, colds, flu and general tiredness. Exercising to loose weight means regular moderate exercise. It is very easy to run too fast when jogging. Generically speaking, it is something like the 65% of your max heart rate is the optimum fat buring zone. You burn less calories than 75-80% of max but you burn them from the right place. If you execise more vigourously then you just clear out your glycogen stores which means, when you eat they get topped up and the fat situation remains the same.
A bit simplistic, but you get the picture I hope.

The art of losing weight basically comes down to a simple equation:
The amount of ingested calories has to be lower than the amount of calories consumed (worked off) by your body.
It does not really matter if you stick to Atkins, SouthBeach or any other special diet scheme.
It is true though that - at least in biochemical theory - dietary fats will only be turned into body fat if you also eat some carbs, because the reactions involved in the build-up of body fat do require tiny amounts of carbs. Reality is that it is virtually impossible to eat a absolutely carb-free diet, since almost no food is totally carb-free. So don't try out a high-fat zero-carb diet at home...

Firstly,
I never said an insulin rush, I said a massive insulin production, which is true.
And I never said no carbs diet I said Low carbs diet.
Oh, and atkins is not high protein, it is high fat, if your body cant find glucose in your blood (produced from carbs) it will use fat . . protein is used for cell repair/build.

I'm trying to lose some weight at the mo & succeeding by all the looks of it cause any day my trousers are liable to fall down around my ankles without me noticing. 
I'm not into tortuous diets & counting every calorie so my doctor advised I eat porridge
(not bl**dy likely) 
in the morning or 'museli' cause it fills you up. 'Tropicano' he days is the best juice you can buy though of course water is the best. Plenty of veg & fruit too if you're like me & not a great fan of the first, also chicken, lean meat, fish, skimmed milk, light bread (though I spoil myself a bit with some homemade wholegrain). Careful of those 'Weightwatcher meals' though cause they've a high salt content. Try not to buy too many convenience foods, better cook your own so maybe invest in some low fat cookbooks, Marks & Sparks have a good range of low fat dishes if you must.
Just don't make it unpleasant for yourself otherwise IMHO you'll never keep at it & remember your diet starts in the supermarket. My shopping basket has never looked so healthy in years, if you haven't got cr@p in the house you can't eat it hence less temptation. If anything else the diet I'm on will improve my health goodo.
He also recommend filtering you water, nothing to do with losing weight though but because of the dangerous additives i.e. flouride & chloride that are dumped into them by those well intentioned but misinformed people who manage our water. He's the second extremely knowledgeable person I've heard speak on this issue in a matter of weeks.
