Who knows an effective way to lose weight?

Hi sunset_haze! First of all, I think there's nothing wrong with being chubby, as long as she's not unhealthy and/or overweight. Personally, I don't like looking at people who are too thin. Being too thin is also unhealthy you know. Also, being sexy is not only about having a beautiful body (or bodies that media is stereotyping nowadays) but also having the right mind-set and confidence and the way you carry yourself. I would suggest to your friend to be happy and confident of herself and everything will just follow -- good health, fit and right body, etc. :) Now for the losing of weight part, first of all, as I mentioned above, she has to have the confidence and self-esteem. Because if she's just gonna be sad and ashamed of her body now then it's just gonna add stress on her and it's gonna reflect on her face and body. Second, let her understand that healthy living (or losing weight) is a lifestyle. She has to incorporate into her life about living healthy and maintaining an ideal weight and body figure. At first it may be a little bit difficult but as soon as she gets used to it it's going to be very easy as it will become her habit. Eating the right kinds of foods, exercising, and most importantly, being stress-free and being happy all the time are the basics of having a healthy body inside and out. I remembered when I was in college, I used to be chubby too. And then I started this diet of eating way less during meals and drinking lots of water before eating so that I would feel full. I also did some exercise and yoga. I was able to lose weight indeed but all I can recall during those days was that I was very hungry all the time. After a year, I got a boyfriend and expectedly lost the diet and I gained weight again. But if I were to compare, I'm much happier now that I'm not as thin as before because I learned to be more confident and happy about my body. I still do a lot of exercise and eat healthy food but my goal now is not only to become thin but maintain a good figure and mainly to maintain a healthy body. You see for me, it's not about having the smallest waistline or thinnest legs but it's about having the right proportions and self-esteem ^^ I hope this helps and your friend can be confident with herself again! :)

First of all, psychologists, nutritionists and any other person will agree that the most important step in losing weight is for her to accept herself as she is. She should really look for her qualities and appreciate them. Tell her to look in the mirror and observe that she is more beautiful than she actually believes she is (You said she is chubby, not obese. There are many people, including myself, who find chubby girls sexy ). Now for the diet, the best method agreed upon by many nutritionists is this - six small meals a day instead of three big ones. It accelerates your metabolism which helps burning that extra fat. It does not really matter what you eat as long as you include the obvious necessities like fruits, vegetables (fibers, vitamins and minerals) and the usual healthy foods. Also she needs to carefully calculate the calories intake for every kind of food she eats and not exceed the recommended level (the average being about 1,200 - 1,500 a day). But most importantly - EXERCISE! Like one hour a day at least. More is better. Bicycle riding, running (not jogging, running!), swimming, weight-lifting. Even the usual house-exercises are better than doing absolutely nothing. So I wish your friend happy exercising!

Hi friend, I guess the best way to lose weight is discipline. If you've started your diet then tell her to continue it without cheating. Also she has to do at least 30-1 hr cardio exercise to help her expedite the process.

Hi sunset_haze: Is it really your friend or you..? lol.kidding. Honestly it is a matter of self discipline. First she should not be depressed. Let her think positively. That it's not the end of the world. Second, she should be proud of what she is now. If she want to be sexier she should do something to have it. But she should have a proper diet, not like she will escape meals, it should be proper and balance diet. Third, tell her to do exercise daily, even 10 minutes will do as long as she will pour out some of her sweat. Lastly, it's all in the mind. Whatever other people tell, she should not believe it's the face value, because most of them just want nothing but to hurt her feelings.

Well, in order to achieve your friend's ideal body, that is to become sexy, she must work out her way to the gym and put a lot of effort on it and eat a proper diet. When she is taking any diet pill or any products that can make her sexy or thin immediately, she must realize that it is not immediately achieved, because it takes months or years to achieve it if your burning your fats to the gym by exercising and working out. But if you have enough finance to have a liposuction in order to achieve it, well she has a choice to do it. It must be done with proper exercise and diet in order to achieve it and not solely depend on the slimming products because it only worsens it if she has not done anything to burn her fats. Also encourage your friend to be glad and be happy that she's only chubby and not fat at all. Join her to go to the gym and have fun with her and your friends, in that way you can help her to increase her self esteem. I hope it helped! :)

If she is really big, she can resort to diet pills if she wants to lose weight fast. Im telling you this because i know a lot of people who went on super dieting and exercising even up to the point of starving themselves but it really takes time, i tell you. But with enough patience and determination, it will eventually pay off. An effective diet would be eating with no rice and other types of pasta. Plus lots of movement and exercise. The best way to find determination in slimming down is to find an inspiration like a goal or something. Perhaps buying a dress that is 3 sizes smaller could be that goal. For sure, you will be working your way to fit that dress.

Id just start eating healthier and work out more, it helps to hav a work out buddy too!
