loose weight fast

Not really sure...the beer manufacturers all advertise their carb contents because of the fads in low-carb diets (atkins); however, you don't typically see that information about the hard liqours. So the gist is, I don't know what would be better. What I have done is switch to drinking less, and instead of always drinking beer, will sometimes do jack and cokes. You get the same effect but drink less...(be really careful the first few times, I found that I was drinking at the pace I was used to with beers...translation, got schloppy :) )...

Not sure if that helps or not, but the booze will kill you as far as trying to lose weight unfortunately...

Nope, alcohol is nothing but carbs, you might as well eat a big ole plate of pasta.

There is this horrible cabbage soup diet that you can try, look it up online. It's relatively healthy for large short term weight loss, as long as you buy stock in toilet paper and don't mind eating cabbage and spending a lot of time on the toilet.

Overall though, liquid diet is the way to go, but then you have to watch the juices you drink, a lot of them have waaaaaaay too much sugar in them to promote weight loss. Something like V8 would be better nutritionally, but it still has a good number of calories. Not as many as food though.

My mother is doing the adkins diet and I hate it. She has lost 40lbs in about 4-5months and she loves it. She doesn't like to excercise or anything like that. I keep telling her that she needs to get out and do something, rather than just watch what she eats...

Oh hugely true for women. Dr. Miriam E. Nelson wrote a few books on women and the effect of weight training. It actually helped rebuild bone mass for those in their 60s and 70s. If your mom wants to avoid osteoperosis she should do some resistence training of some type. The books, if you're interested in getting them for mom (should be at the local library), are:

Strong Women Stay Slim
Strong Women, Strong Bones

Her work was actually part of a large study on the effects of weight training and older, post-menopausal women. They found that it helped deal with things like arthritis and osteoperosis (in pain and reducing the effects of).

I would think that sit-ups would be better... cause you're using the muscle in that area more.

sorry, my english isn't the best, i meant to say sit-ups. My bad again.

/me goes back to read the whole thread.

edit: ok read the thread and i see that cheyenne mentioned water, and i ahve to add to drink a lot of water since H2O helps to break down chemical bonds (food) faster and the food doesn't get let's say too much time to turn into fat.:)
