To lose one pound requires a calorie deficit of 35,000 calories over a given period of time. It is reasonable to set a weight loss goal of 2 pounds or less per week.
Ten pounds of weight loss in a week is an unreasonable goal. That is five times the recommended weight loss weight. You would need to create a 35,000 calorie deficit to achieve this goal. This is not possible for most people.
It's not very healthy to lose or gain 20 pounds that quickly. If you want to do it safely, it should take about 3 or 4 months to reach that goal.
There is no safe way to lose weight except proper exercise and a sligt reduction in calorie intake. You should only lose 1-2 pounds a week and have a proper diet with nutrients and fiber.
Most people will lose weight on a daily diet of 1,500 calories, which is the total calorie count for all the food pictured above. If you want to be even more precise about cutting calories, this simple calculation will give you a daily calorie goal that can help you lose a healthy 1 to 2 pounds per week.
Having solid goals can help you accomplish anything. It's not enough to say that you want to lose weight. You should clearly define how much weight you want to lose. If pounds aren't your thing, then set a goal based on pants size. Write the goal down, then come up with smaller goals to help you get there. If your goal is to lose twenty pounds then a smaller, daily goal might be to keep your calorie consumption below a certain level. When you know what you are working towards you are more likely to get there.
By going on a diet.
It depends on how much you are eating and exercising. It also depends on your calorie deficit. If it's a 500 calorie deficit a day, you will lose a pound a week. If it's a 1,000 calorie deficit a day, you will lose two pounds. Add 500 to each day and you will lose an extra pound. But, it's not good to lose more than 3 pounds a week.
it depends on how much you are working out as well. If you had a 500 calorie deficit everyday, you'd lose 1 pound a week, so you'd lose 100 pounds in 100 weeks, so around 2 years.
A calorie is a calorie, no matter what source you get it from. That is, if you consume more calories than you burn, then you will gain weight; if you consume less calories than you burn, then you will lose weight.
It is not advisable to lose 40 pounds in only 17 days. You can lose weight fairly quickly by exercising at least 30 minutes per day and eating healthy foods.
Yes, that is possible, depending upon your calorie intake and how often you exercise!
