Can you lose 10 kilos in 2 weeks?

Answer 1

Why do you use metric for weight and standard for height? 52.5k is about 115 lbs. That's OK. DO NOT lose 10k (22lbs.) That is called Nicole Richie skinny. But, you can usually lose 3 lbs per wk safely w/out doc supervision so, yeah, but don;t.

Answer 2

Yes, but the faster the loss the higher the health risks, with possible even more weight gain afterwards, possible brain/health damage due to use of illegal drugs. It is not recommended, the loss has to be due to overall lifestyle change, and not a single point. When occurring naturally it can be a sign of cancer or another disorder for example.

Answer 3

Yes, but it's a bad idea. You'd have to cut back on eating too drastically even if you exercise, and that can damage you. A reasonable rate of weight-loss is about one kilo per week or per two weeks.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:

Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit calories to roughly 1500/day (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, go up to about 2000 calories/day. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fads. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

Another general thing that may be said is: the less salt, the better. The less processed foods, the better. The less junk food, the better. The less sweetened drinks, the better.

Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one method of adjusting one's food habits.

Answer 4

It would be incredibly hard, and extremely taxing on your health, but I guess it can be done if you are determined enough.
You must have a lot of willpower and determination, and must maintain this strict calorie restricting and high intensity excersise program in order to not gain back the weight stragiht away. This is what you must do:

1. Work out your Basic Metabolic Weight (BRM), the minimum amount of calories you need to consume to just stay maintain you weight each day.
2. Know calorie values of all foods you consume.
3. Know calorie expended values of all excersise you do.
4. RESTRICT your calories! You need to burn 3500 calories on a completely empty stomach, and without having eaten at all, to lose almost half a kilo.
5. EXCERSISE every day, as often as you can, doing high intensity excersises like rowing and running.
6. Build muscle mass, as having more muscles can increase your BMR, and if you are not eating then this means extra weight loss.
7. You will no doubt be completely exhausted, unable to think properly or even function, sore from so much excersise, miserable and unhealthy from lack of nutrition, slow down you metablism, be at risk for cardio problems as well as other illnesses and with the potential to aquire an eating disorder; but you will have lost a substantial amount of weight.

This, by no means, is a recommendation. You shouldn't aspire to lose so much weight in such a small time frame- this should realistically take a few months. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION, and do this the right way, for the sake of your own health.

Note: Once you start eating again and stop excersising you WILL gain the 10kgs back, and most likely more than that, as your body will want to compensate for the starved state to which you reduced it.

Answer 5

It is possible to lose 15 kg in 2 months. That is equal to 33 pounds. It is recommended to lose 2-3 pounds per week.

Answer 6

1 kilo equals 2.2 lbs, 10 kilo equals 22 lbs. Loosing 22 lbs a month would mean loosing approx. 5 1/2 lbs per week
