How do you lose weight in one week?

Answer 1

Depends upon how much weight you'd want to lose. You would have to exercise a lot, and cut down a lot on eating.

However, that is NOT a healthy method. Doctors and dieticians recommend losing weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose.

Do not starve yourself, or skip meals, or try throwing up.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Try to get plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (intense exercise may damage your joints). It isn't essential to join a gym; you can do sit-ups, pushups, dumbbell-lifting, jumping-jacks, and many other basic exercises at home. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too. Even for people who are not trying to lose weight, being active helps your digestion, your circulation, and other body processes.

Even more important than exercise, is avoiding junk foods and sweetened drinks such as soda. Try to avoid refined flour and pasta, processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat. Preferably consume no added sugar, and as little added salt as possible.

Our great-grandparents didn't have the epidemic of obesity we see today, because they had a less-sedentary lifestyle, a much more natural diet, and they ate reasonably-sized portions.

Eat 3 not-large-portioned meals per day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid sugary snacks. If you want a snack, try (for example) an apple or a handful of unsalted nuts.

Limit your calories (best to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself at the same time each day, 2-3 times per week. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your goal, increase your calorie intake somewhat, so that you can maintain your present weight. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular healthy foods. But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash-diets, fad diets, diet pills, etc. These may be harmful, and need not be considered by people who have adopted an otherwise healthy diet.

More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise.

Healthy 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, in healthy forms (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

In general, an example of a healthy starting point could be a menu of whole-grain foods and bread, a good amount of vegetables, legumes, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats in not-large amounts, and some dairy. However, this may need adjusting according to one's lifestyle, age, health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also later, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

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 factor in adjusting one's food habits.

Answer 2

I don't know your starting weight, and I am not a dietician or doctor. But I don't think anyone will tell you that you can lose 14 pounds (one stone) in that short a time and do it in a healthy way. Talk to friends, counselors, or your doctor.

Answer 3

Exercise about a mile & a half day.

drink a cup of juice in the morning;

for lunch: have fruit, such as a bananna or a pear.

for dinner: have salad, with steak, or fish, or chicken in it. (with Italian dressing)

NO in between snacks, and NO eating after 6:00 p.m. !

make sure you drink plenty of water.

I've been doing this for a month & lost over 30 pounds.

it's hard, but if your dedicated. you can do it. (:

Good Luck !

Answer 5

To lose 1 st (14 lbs) in five weeks can be tough, depending on your current weight and fitness level. This answer assumes that you can lost this amount of weight without becoming underweight or otherwise unhealthy.

The best way to lose weight, no matter how much you want to lose, is with diet and exercise. It is important not to starve yourself; you need nutrition to survive and keep your metabolism strong. You will need to engage in some physical activity, such as sports, weight lifting, or running. You should do at least 60 minutes of exercise each day, and prefer a mixture of these exercise types.

Answer 6

That is a vast amount to try and lose in ONE WEEK!. The chances are that trying would dramatically effect your health and wellbeing. Over the long term, it's best to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week. Generally to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular exercise. You really should discuss this with a medical professional who can take in to account your diet, physical shape now and impact on your metabolism.

Answer 7

You can try exercising at least 5 times a week and drinking at least half your body weight in water. Another thing to do is reduce your calorie intake.

Answer 8

Surgery and other drastic means can do this, but healthy weight loss cannot proceed at more than about a kilogram/two pounds per week.

Answer 9

amputation?

5kg in a week is an unhealthy weight loss goal.
