<p>yeah, you gotta have the dedication. </p>
<p>you can do it baby. ;)</p>
<p>ferstammendment, you know your stuff. that is basically what i have been doing for the last year or so and have seen good results.</p>
<p>being fit is a lifestyle and you will probably be thinking about it a lot. your thoughts about food will completely change. your cravings for certain foods will cease after a couple of weeks. just stay focused and you will get the results you are wanting.</p>
<p>Please don't do this, its actually not that healthy. I would recommend just changing your diet so that it includes nutritious food instead of just looking at calories (if you eat 2000 calories of sugar a day, your still doomed). Then playing a fun sport for 1hour+ a day if you want. Running is boring, try soccer with friends to burn calories. I think most people would give up after running 1+ hours a day if they are not used to it.</p>
<p>FerstAmmendment knows his stuff.</p>
<p>Wrestlers can lose that much in a day. But it's dangerous. Plus, it's ineffective in the long run.</p>
<p>If you're interesting in losing weight and helping the world, donate your spare kidney. I'm very serious.</p>
<p>Losing 22 in a month is not always healthy. How much of that will be good weight loss? You don't want to sap your muscle strength either. If you're looking to cut fat it'll be a more gradual process.</p>
<p>The best advice I can give (this was told to me by a respected personal trainer I know) is to find a sport or activity you actually enjoy. Going to the gym shouldn't be like a hamster running on his spinning wheel. It should not be a chore, and we are not rodents. Having fun at what you're doing and wanting to get better at it will make you work that much harder. Whether you it is swimming, soccer, basketball, or just plain running, make sure you're having fun at what you're doing.</p>
<p>It's possible to lose 10kg, but at the sacrifice of your health. The most you can expect to lose is 5kg even if you are on a low carb and extremely active lifestyle. I use to run 4-6 miles on weekdays and 9-11 miles on weekends in addition to plyometric workouts, weight training, and other sports. True I was eating every second of the day but it was mostly carbs that I would burn away during the day anyway. I lost maybe 6kg max doing this. 10kg is way too much to lose in a month. Assuming you retain the correct and safe amount of water weight, i would not expect more than a loss of 4-6 kg max in a month. You are losing roughly 22lbs in a month. It's not possible to do it in a safe and healthy manner.</p>
<p>Well considering that the healthiest you SHOULD lose in a week is a little over 1 kilo, I'd suggest against it. But it's possible most def.</p>
<p>PM me if you're serious about losing weight.
i lost 45 pounds in 6 weeks.
you just need the right program and guidance.
i've also helped my friends lose weight too.</p>
<p>and that whole.. "oh you should only lose 1-2 lbs a week" is bs. with that rate it'll take forever. and being unhealthy? right. </p>
<p>i used to have high cholesterol. gone now.
i used to have high blood pressure. gone now
i am currently training for a marathon.
lost 6 inches on the waist.
went down 3 shirt sizes.
my body fat percentage is now 5%.</p>
<p>total weight loss? 240 to 155.</p>
<p>im sorry, but ive never seen anyone lose that much fat...ive seen then lose fat and muscle totalling around 45 lbs...but not just fat, not in two weeks. And ive been at this for a while...i would like to know exactly what you did</p>
<p>2 weeks? it took me 6 weeks.</p>
<p>haha, my bad...spelling mistake, but still...6 weeks? I just wanna know what you did</p>
<p>it's pretty much impossible to lose 45 lbs of fat in 6 weeks. you're losing hell of a lot of muscle....actually more muslce than fat. 27 lbs of muscle lost and only 18 lbs of fat max. that is very unhealthy, i would not follow your program whatsoever sorry. </p>
<p>on the other hand, thisisbananas and fastammendment do know what they are talkin about as i have also been following this regime for quite sometime now.</p>
<p>wait 2000 calories a day???? tht cant b right..its waayyy too much! if u wanna lose all tht weight just drink shiittt loads of water...do the work outs...thr really is no secret if u eat less and work out more ull lose weight...just be careful cuz 10kg ovr four weeks is still a lot..and im sure ull want break days!</p>
<p>he doesnt want 2000...maybe around 1600 or 1700 maybe even 1800...the key is to take in a good amount of calories to still stimulate muscle growth yet burn fat as well. Cut carbs, get on a CKD...and 1700 should be a perfect amount</p>
<p>Don't listen to any of these people, they don't know what the f*** they're talking about. Calories in has to be less than calories out for weight loss to occur. 3500 Calories = 1 pound, you are trying to lose 10kg which equals about 22 pounds. So 3500 x 22 =77000, you are planning on having a deficit of about 700 calories for each day so for a month that is 700 x 30 = 21000. So no you will not reach your goal, but that is because your goal is unrealistic. You cannot lose that much weight that quickly and remain healthy. </p>
<p>Like I said, DO NOT listen to these people's advice pertaining to fitness.</p>
<p>Its more realistic to lose more than 6lbs off of what I have been saying. The key is the metabolism, and the fact that muscles use up calories during the day...making most of these calories protein also stimulates fat loss and keeps from catabolism. People are usually different in the amount of calories they can burn off given certain exercise. A heavy weighlifting session burns, on Joe Schmoe about 400 cals, and running a mile 12 minute mile burns about 600...theres 1000...now protein takes energy to digest....veggies have negative calories, and for the rest of the day your metabolism is on high. </p>
<p>Dont think that 2000 cals can make weight loss occur? Just google Louis Dorman...perfect example.</p>
<p>As somoene who received an A in principles of nutrition ;-) I can fully answer this question. First, yes you can lose 22 lbs in a 4 week period if you weigh like 500 pounds. However, if you are say a normal weight (say you want to go from 182 to 160) then its going to be next to impossible to legitimately lose 22lbs in a 4 week period. A normal person can only lose about 3 lbs of fat a week. The 3500 calorie a pound thing is true - However its 3500 surplus calories that gives you a pound - when in reality you actually have to create about a 4000 calorie deficit to lose a pound. If you want to actually lose 22lbs - you could just go on poop pills and drinks - i mean you'll "lose" the weight, but it will just be water that you'll gain back almost the instant you start drinking again.</p>
<p>Also, another problem is - yes 3500 calories is a pound...but it you need to burn aroudn 4000 calories to lose a pound. sucks right? But you can do that by reducing calorie intake and burning calories. If you burn 500 calories a day on cardio and reduce your intake by 200 calories...you'll create that 700 calorie deficit by not really reducing what you eat that much (200 calories is like 2 oreos).</p>
<p>500 calories may sound like a lot - and it could be depending on how much you weigh and how inshape you are. I've personally found that there is no better cardio machine than the eliptical. Get one that has a hill setting. I recommend putting the hill setting to its steepest and then finding the highest endurance setting that you can do without slowing down for about 35 -40 minutes (aim for 100 rpm's...but it depends on ur weight - you want to be burning at least 15 calories a minute)- you will burn 500 calories in 35-40 minutes if you do that.</p>
<p>btw just on a side note - walking is not effective in losing weight. Running is much much much more effective - don't believe anyone who says walking is better than running.</p>
<p>Thank you jags, and to the OP if you're going to a gym to workout don't be one of those toolbags who walks on the treadmill. Depending on your weight and pace you can burn about ~105 Calories per mile running while on the elliptical I've found you burn them a little slower. I do most of my runs around 6:30/mile pace but it takes me a few minutes longer to burn the same amount of Calories on the elliptical at the same effort, if that makes sense.</p>
<p>a pound is 3000 calories not 3500</p>
