I want to lose 10lbs a week for five weeks

Edited by Bistromathics: 4/26/2013 4:59:18 AMUnless you're really, really fat, that's not an achievable goal. "Normal" is 1-2 lbs per week, but it does depend on how much you weigh to begin with. The goal is to create a caloric deficit, where you're consuming less than what your body uses. This forces your body to dip into its ample fat reserves for the calories it needs. So it's off to the gym, right? Not exactly. You [i]could[/i] go to the gym and burn 100 calories on a treadmill. Or you could a candy bar's worth of food. Which one is harder? Now, to be clear, exercise should be a part of anyone's lifestyle. It strengthens your cardiovascular system. It takes a lot of fat out of your blood. But there's a reason they say "abs are built in the kitchen". It's because weight loss is 99% diet and 11% exercise. And it's not just "eating healthy". You can eat healthy food and gain weight. You can eat fast food and lose weight. It all has to do with how [i]much[/i] you're eating. That has to be your baseline goal. So remove junk food from your diet not just because of its low nutritional content, but because it's super high in calories. Substitute with fruits, veggies, and whatnot not just because they're more nutritious, but because they don't have as many calories and they still make you feel full. And definitely make exercise a part of your routine. But make sure not to fall into the trap of overestimating how much exercise is doing for your weight. You're literally one Snickers bar away from invalidating 300 calories you burned huffing and puffing on the treadmill.

Edited by Spinager: 4/26/2013 4:56:54 AMKeep in mind that 3500 calories = 1lb Figure out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR); the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day/Or your daily routine with no workout. Count your calories, fiber, protein and carbs. You want your day intake of calories to be less than your BMR. Do this with workouts and/or setting a calorie intake limit. Example. If your BMR is at 2000, you would want to eat <2000 calories, if your goal is not to workout. Say you set a limit of 1600. You'll have a deficit of 400. Since 1lb = 3500, it will take approx. 9 days to lose 1lb. The thing with not working out, is that your calories will need to be more protein and fiber. You want to protect your muscles more than your fat. If you dont eat enough protein, your body will choose to use your muscles for energy, keeping your fat, and losing your muscle. If you do the above, AND workout, you'll need more protein and a bit more carbs to give you energy. But the upside to this, is that your deficit will be larger. You eat 1600 calories, a deficit of 400. PLUS the workout, say you burn 500 calories. that means you had a deficit of 900 calories on that day. That brings your 1lb loss to 4 days. Ofcourse, you want to keep a well balanced nutrition as well. Taking in the necessary vitamins and what not. Making sure you keep your muscles well fueled. You want to lose your FAT not your MUSCLE. Your BMR will change as you gain/lose weight. So keep track of that.

Chop off your leg.

You don't do this, that's how. Two pounds a week is reasonable.

Edited by Mad Max: 4/26/2013 2:32:08 AM10lbs over 5 weeks is easy. Eat smaller, healthy portions. Hit the gym a few times per week. Cut out sweets/useless snacks. edit: I can't read. Cut off bits of your leg or something.

To lose weight is simple. Eat fewer calories than you burn. if you do this. You will lose weight. This is the fundamental formula of weight loss.

Drink a lot of water, eat way less, substitute healthier foods during meals and exercise as much as you can. Diet is 90% of the battle though.

Don't think it's healthy to lose that much weight in one week... You have to start small, ease yourself into it, and forget about progress for the time being because you're not going to see it so quickly. Think about the long term results and how bad you want it. I worked my ass off last year, and only lost 5 pounds in a couple of months.

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 4/26/2013 3:35:31 AMNot gonna happen unless you're like 400lbs. If you're 50+ lbs overweight, 5lbs a week is an achievable goal, but it'll be hard.

Just start running and eating more healthy. Ease into it before you start working out hardcore.

1 Reply10lbs a week won't happen, but I can recommend how too lose weight overtime. Remember, getting in shape is a lifestyle change, not something to do every now and then like buying groceries. Eat six small meals a day instead of three big ones. Only drink water. For one, it'll help your metabolism, making shedding fat easier. Second, it'll replace whatever you've been drinking before. Thirdly, it'll give you energy for exercise. Cut out bad snacks (i.e. potato chips, candy bars, cookies) and replace them with good ones (i.e. fruit, vegetables [carrots and celery], nuts, granola, and Greek yogurt) Exercise every other day. Being active to some extent, like walking, is important to do everyday, but I am talking about "hardcore" workouts, like going to the gym. You want to go every other day because lifting weights too much can place too much strain on your body and be counterproductive. I hope this helps. It has certainly helped me. Keep in mind that there are many healthy cheat foods like smoothies and yogurt, but having an actual cheat, like a burger, is ok in rare occasions. Being healthy is about enjoying life, not dying buff.

You can only do that if you're like really -blam!-in huge and have to work like a dog everyday.

Make a small incision on your abdominal region and stick a vacuum cleaner inside.

Self performed lipo-suction, or you could just run.

4 RepliesMeth? AIDS? Getting a better goal? You need a calorie deficit of roughly 3500 to lose 1 pound. To lose 10 pounds a week... That's 35,000 calories burned in excess of what you eat. I don't think its possible.

You don't.

Thats definitely not healthy. . .
