If you don't eat for a month how much weight will you lose?

Probably more than you want to, in all the wrong places, and you could do harm to your bodily systems. Fasting causes many unwanted changes, including reduction in metabolic rate, which is something you don't want if you are trying to lose weight. It is better to eat sensibly, satisfying your need for energy and protein while avoiding 'excess calories' from too many sugars and fats.

You weight loss on any diet would depend on a lot of variables, such as how much you weigh, how tall you are, what is your metabolism like.

However, I would like to point out something very important. If you stop eating for a long time, your body interprets this as being a time where food is hard to find. Hence, it will put itself into survival mode, which means it will take as many calories as it can from any food ingested. Consequently, when you start eating again, you will put back on the weight you lost and then some. Your body will just think "Oh food! Better be prepared for next time I don't have some!" This will eventually lead to weight gain.

Thus, if the goal is weight loss, an healthy alimentation (less sugar, whole grains, lots of fruits and veggies and some proteins to keep you full) and some exercising will be more profitable in the long run.

Does potassium help you to lose weight?

If you're doing sports, then I guess, indirectly Potassium can help you lose weight.You will workout more effectively, leading to a heightened metabolism and more burned calories as a result.Make sure you don't overdose on the bananas(high in potassium),though, as they also contain more calories than other fruit, in general (about 100kcal in a medium banana). May Jesus help you get healthier and more fit!

Assuming you were not to change your diet and were to walk every day.

4 X 30 Days = 120 days.

20 pounds X 3500 calories per pound = 70,000 calories.

100 calories burned per 1 mile.

70,000 calories divided by 120 days = 583.3 calories per day.

583.3 calories divided by 100 cal per mile = 5.833 miles per day.

The average human walks 2.7 miles per hour.

5.833 miles divided by 2.7 mph = 2.16 hours per day.

Resting would be better since your body is already stressed while fighting the flu and you will put unnecessary strain on your systems if you do strenuous activities.

How much weight can a 13-year-old lose in 10 days and what should they do to lose weight?

Well, In a healthy manner you just need to exercise and DO NOT STARVE yourself, it is not good for your health in the future, though fasting (not eating but drinking plenty of fluids and sometimes eating one meal) for one or two days every month or two can help you, but the fastest way and healthiest way to lose weight depends on your weight, height and age, look up calorie king and put in your info (height, age, weight) and it will tell you how many calories you can or have to eat in a day, it has helped me a lot, and I am a teenager, i have lost 30 lbs in 3 months and kept it off for the last 7 months, but just keep track of the food you eat and how healthy it is. You also need to eat at the same time everyday even if it is a snack just eat then so your body can get used to it. It may take time but being 13 it is critical to watch your weight because the fat cells you have you will have the rest of your life even if you lose weight when you get older the same fat cells will just shrink and get larger.

How much should you weigh if you're 14 and 5'5?

it depends on how well you are taking care of your body. weight means nothing it is simply numbers to alarm you if you are too skiny or obese, but you must also remember that muscle weighs more than fat. I would say try not to go under 110lbs and try not to go over 130lbs, but if your body is just naturally lower than 110lbs and your not starving yourself, and eating all of the right, healthy nutrients than you should be fine. However, if you are truly conscerned that you shouldn't resort to a computer as compared to resorting to a doctor. I hope this helps and try not to worry about your weight, just don't get too skinny to the point if you turn to the side no one can see you, and try to avoid obesity because you can encounter many heart failures. also if you be come to skinny you encounter many heart failures, a doctor once told me his patient got too skinny and he left off with him by saying eat right and you can die from annorexia or bilemexia, and the guy, being annorex which causes you to lie so that you can get people off your case so you can mistreat your body, told the doctor that he would eat right. However, the guy's heart soon collapsed while walking, because his body couldn't go on it was almost as if the body was saying you wont help me than i cant help you. I know this as a fact because i went through the dangers of annorexia.

Can you lose a pound a day by drinking a gallon of water a day?

You need to ingest more than just water, or your body will eventually shut down and just start storing all of the water - your weight loss plan will fail. Drinking that much water will make you very sick because it will cause you to urinate more and you'll use many nutrients and vitamins you need in your body. 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day is enough to flush out fats and toxins and keep the kidneys clear. If exercising or sports then one would need to have more water (or on hot summer days if one is perspiring a great deal.)

How many miles should you walk per week to lose a pound?

Depends on how fast you are running and your metabolism rate. For me, I run about six to eight miles every day and i have a high metabolism and so i can eat a LOT and not gain any weight at all. This prolly does not help at all, but really, to lose weight you would have to run and then not eat, but i WOULD NOT recommend that!! Start out at one mile and then work your way up to whatever n# of miles you want to accomplish. You will see the fat wearing off soon. : )

How do you lose weigh for on stomch?

Does biking help loose belly fat?

Exercise most definitely helps you lose "belly fat". I cycle 24 miles per day, 5 to 6 days a week. I went from 10st 10 to 9st 6 in 3 months. The one thing i would say is that you have to practice a healthy diet. There is no point in training if you do not eat the right foods. It is counterproductive. Because cycling is a cardio physical activity, carbs are an essential part of your training. It is important to find a happy balance between carbs and protein, (Protein diets can be unsafe and should only ever last for a maximum of 2 weeks, and they are on the whole a short term solution to the problem). in my experience it is best to have carbs in the morning or early afternoon, with high protein consumption in the mid afternoon to evening. (High protein consumption in the evening will help build and tone the muscle that has been exercised that day). If at all possible it is better to not eat past 6 or 7 p.m. Don't get me wrong i enjoy a "pig out" every now and again but that's exactly what it should be, and there is nothing wrong with having a chocolate biscuit with your tea just not the whole pack! Although you will lose weight as a result of your exercise and diet regime, don't be to fixated with your bathroom scales. Muscle weighs more than fat and you may well find yourself fluctuating a few pounds up and down because your body will begin to amass muscle throughout your body, as cycling is an "all over body" workout. it's how you look and feel that should matter. Hope that helps answer your question. I would be happy to answer any other questions on sport, fitness and healthy eating.

What is the easiest and best way to lose weight permanently and effectively?

Answer

Remove all forms of sugar from your diet, obviously. Fruit is high in naturally occurring sugar. Don't eat fruit. Stay away from juice. It is not healthy, no matter what the commercials say. Eat an orange or an apple if you really want the fruit because fruit juice is much worse. Have you ever tried to squeeze your own juice? Instead of just getting the sugar from 1 orange or apple or whatever, in a glass of juice, you're probably getting the sugar from, say 15 oranges. I dare you to try to eat that many in one sitting or even in a whole day. It is the fiber of the orange/apple, whatever fruit you like juiced, not the juice, that is "good" for you. Juice and fruits should be avoided. Once you are down to your ideal weight, then eat the fruit but exercise. Plain yogurt and lots of vegetables, salads etc. Don't use ANY dressing. Just put lots of vegetables on it and learn to love it. Dressing in any form, vinegar, oil, whatever is unnecessary other than for taste preference. Adjust your preference because there's no point in eating a salad if you eat dressing. You might as well have not eaten the salad because it undoes any good the lettuce would have done. Eat nuts for protein. Cut out bread, anything with refined processed carbohydrates.

Answer

The best way is to cut back on what your eating, don't eat out anywhere, and don't eat stuff like chips and cookies and candy. It comes off slower than any of these fad diets, but as long as you don't go back to old eating habits it will work. Like, eat one bowl of cereal for breakfast. Eat a sandwich and some veggies and dip or something like that for lunch. If you need a snack, either eat fruit or if you need to eat something like chips than get low fat ones or quakes (mini flavored rice cakes), they're really good. And then for dinner eat something sensible like a meat and a veggie. Then if you need a snack at night again eat something sensible.

Answer

There are no "quick fixes" to losing weight and keeping it off. It's within ourselves to keep our body's in shape. Exercising is very important. Try "fast walking" hiking, biking, etc., if you don't want to go to a gym. If you can afford a gym then talk to the trainer there. Don't kid your inner self either. If you truly don't feel you can stick to going to the gym 3 times a week or more, please don't as you will disappoint yourself. Swimming is another good exercise. Try to hook up with some friend and go bike riding (very popular in British Columbia) and keeps you toned up. Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water as water flushes the kidneys out, keeps all organs (your skin is also an organ) clean and flushes out the impurities of your body including fat.

Answer

There may or may not be an easy way to lose weight permanently and effectively. What may be easy for you may not be easy for another. Your mind and body work together on every aspect. Everything you do is about behavior. If you have decided that you want to change your weight then you have to change your eating behavior. Are you eating your meals too quickly? Are you eating your meals at the correct time? These questions are important. Am I eating the right foods to aid weight loss? Am I tempted because a snack is in front of me or can I walk away and say, "no, I am on a program and I intend to follow thru with that plan because I am responsible and I love my body enough to say no." It doesn't mean that you can never enjoy snacks again, just in small quantities and not so often. Not everything has to be about food. It's a condition that you can change. You have become conditioned to overeat. Start there, with your behavior and maybe you might answer other issues of your life along with food.

Answer

Always have breakfast. Have a snack between meals such as fruit, or low fat yogurt. Have a good lunch with fruit & vegetables. Have a light dinner then have a snack later on. Try to exercise at least four times a week. Keep your mind relaxed. Have a massage at least once a week. Drink drink drink at least eight glasses of water every day. Try and get fresh air every day.

Answer

Reduce carbohydrates, Reduce fats, Go for veggies, Eat fiber, Don't switch foods radically. Make health, not weight loss, your goal. A major reason people get discouraged and drop out of weight loss programs is weight plateaus. Be patient and break through weight plateaus. Don't rush weight reduction. Get exercise. Raise your metabolic rate.
