Ask The Herbalist

I would like to know the safest and the FASTEST way to loss weight. I have tried almost everything, like exercise, but I always overdue myself, or it just doesn't work. My height is 5'6", weight is 180.6, and my age is 15. Im a 10th grader at my school, and I'm tried of being put down by everyone I meet. And my family is moving soon, and I'm afraid of what my new classmates will say. So I was wondering what you would advise.

I am sorry to hear of your plight. There are many ways to lose weight fast. Not all of them healthy. In fact most are not.

The three best ways to lose weight are

1: High raw/high carb/low fat/nutrient dense diet plan

2: Juice fasting/detoxing/cleansing (average 1 pound per day loss)

3: Staying active

Three books that may help you out get onto the right path (until I get mine published) are

1: "The beauty detox solution" by Snyder

2: "Crazy sexy diet" by Karr

3: "The paradigm diet" by Dave

I run my own online health/nutrition/fitness coaching company called "The Vegan Effect" I have helped many lose tons of weight. My one client lost 50 lbs in 60 days!! I would love the chance to work with you. My program is essentially a course in health that empowers people to reach all their lifes goals. If my program is something that you would like to participate in let me know. I do a free initial consultation over skype.

As far as juice fasting is concerned, although it is incredibly effective please do your research, watch "Fat, sick, and nearly dead", consult a nutritonal professional, and make sure you can juice your own juice. Do not attempt juice fasting on store bought juice.

Let me know if there is anything else you need to know. I hope my answers were sufficient enough.
