Q: What is the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off without feeling hungry and eating diet foods? A: The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to exercise more and eat less - It's just that simple, no rocket science.  The first thing you should do is cleanse the body of toxins and waste products that weigh you down and prevent your organs from working optimally.  Next, alter your eating habits, choosing healthy food items free of preservatives, high sodium, sugar, cholesterol and fat ingredients.  Instead, read labels and choose fruits, vegetables, whole foods and lean protein-rich foods and supplements.  Third, consume roughly 30-40 grams of fiber and drink one-half your body weight in water on a daily basis.  Fourth, combine cardio and weight training exercises for 45-60 minutes at 70-85% of your target heart rate burning 500-700 calories at least 4-5 days a week.  Fifth, get at least 6-8 hours of sleep daily to ensure your body repairs itself so you can notice the wonderful transformations occurring daily.
