text: how do you lose weight without starving yourself? i have tried a bunch of different things and i only have a short amount of time to lose the weight.  help!!!!!! eat lots of fruits and veggies,they have so little calories and have 70% water content so they are really filling.stay away from processed foods(chips,oreos,crackers,fast food,stuff like that) eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of eating three big ones.drink only water,no soda,no juice.i don't try to push anyone towards veganism,but i would rceommend for you to try eating only raw foods.there is 21 day detox diet,i was watching it on t.v.,a woman lost 25 pounds in three weeks.i would recommend at least giving it a try,eat only raw fruits and veggies and nuts.
