How long will it take to lose five pounds?

Answer 1

5 pounds is easy to lose. If you diet and exercise extensively you'd probably be able to lose it in a week. But if you want to diet and exercise moderately you could probably lose it in 3 weeks or less, as long as you're on a proper healthy diet.

Answer 2

you would have to lose 17,500 calories in order to lose 5 pounds if you dance thats good for you because dancing will help you lose all those calories quickly but it depends on what type of dancing you do cardio dancing is really good for you bye:*

Answer 3

If you want to lose weight, starving is NOT the way to do it.

By all means, cut down on the number of fatty and sugary foods you are eating, but starving yourself will only harm your body and will not have any lasting effect on your weight.

The best way to lose weight is through various diets and getting plenty of exercise.

Answer 4

It depends on how many calories you ingest and how many you burn, but for most people who maintain their regular diet or decrease it by 500-700 calories it takes five weeks to lose five pounds. Combine that with 30-45 minutes of exercise each day (length depending on whether you intend to reduce your food intake).

Note that losing weight more quickly than the five weeks mentioned above is considered unhealthy by some doctors, but it can be done if your diet is more restricted or you add additional 30-45 minute exercise routines each day. If you do decide to try to accelerate your weight loss, do not continue your regimen for an extended period of time.

Answer 5

At least a week and a half
