Losing 5-10 pounds a month is very doable. I would suggest cutting out breads and caloric beverages. Doing that alone would probably cut at least 5.

The most important thing to lose weight is consistant. If you do exercise for 10 days without give up. You will find you really want to do exercise in the following days!

There is no one size fits all with dropping pounds. If you weigh 300 pounds you can much easier drop 5 pounds than someone who weighs 140. It’s all relative. The bottom line is that no matter what you weigh you probably have a plan to lose your weight as fast as possible.

The only thing that really worked for me was low carb. No sugar or flour. No bread, pasta, rice, potatoes or carrots. Green veggies and meat. You could do it for a few weeks – but cutting the Coke out just might be enough by itself. My sis had a friend that lost 40 lb using Wii Active.

Gorillas – drinking one coke a day is pretty much my only truly bad habit as far as diet goes. As I said above we eat steamed veggies (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower) and baked or grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts for most of our dinners. I have a very limited diet because of my Crohn’s disease and my meals have to be on the small side because big meals (even those with foods I can eat) can cause pain and other problems.

I know Coke if full of sugar. That’s one reason why I mentioned that I might drop my one coke a day habit in order to lose the 5 lb that I need to lose in the next month. There’s no need for it to have as much fructose in it as it does! It’s terrible. I’m glad that I don’t drink more of the stuff! My ex-sister in law used to drink a big 2 L bottle a day! Interesting video BTW.

I’d drink diet soft drinks if 1. I didn’t absolutely hate the taste of them and 2. if they didn’t use artificial sweeteners like Aspartame and other chemical based sweeteners. I think those are worse than the high fructose in normal soft drinks – worse for me with my delicate system anyway.

Thanks for your comment!

I know its hard but you must give up the Coke. It is a chemical thing that is why they have a secret recipe and dominate the soda world. High fructose corn syrup is absolute poison. Here is a professor and head of an obesity clinic explaining how terrible it is – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
