A fast way to loose 10 pounds?

Weight Watchers…

How long have you been following this routine? If it was for 2, even 4, weeks, I wouldn’t be surprised. You’ve got to give your body time. Maybe (while still keeping your diet nutritionally balanced) try to consume slightly less calories. Try eating slightly smaller portions of the same diet.

1 pound per week is a safe rate of wieght loss. Anything more 1) isn’t good for your body and 2) won’t stay off once you loose it.

Also, do you eat breakfast? And I don’t mean a muffin and coffee; you’ve got to have a legit breakfast with protein, fruit, and some carbs. It will accelerate your metabolism so you’re burning more calories for the rest of the day.

There’s no healthy way to lose 10 pounds fast.

I suggest patience, exercise and calorie counting. Find out how many calories you need to eat in a day to maintain your weight, and reduce that amount by no more than 10%-15%.

You’ll get there, but remember, you’re not doing this to lose weight temporarily, you’re doing this be healthy for a lifetime.

A knife.

well apparently you are either doing it wrong, of have some hormone problem. seek a doctor to rule out the latter

Eat lean protein (150g) & vegetables (200g) – no carbs each meal three times a day. drink minimum x2 litres of water per day and eat an apple. dont snack. No milk, condiments, softdrinks or any other liquids but water, herbal tea and black coffee.

Though i have no idea how much 10 pounds is, i know by following the above i have lost up to 2.5kg a week (max). You have to be very disciplined and positive, healthy and realistic outlook to why you are doing it.

Eat what you want, exercise how you want, and try intermittent fasting:

You answered your own question.

Crack

Holes in your pocke….... oh wait you ment weight not £ and knife has already been taken damn it .
Count calories and eat less of them .

You have to get the heart rate up daily if you want to lose weight and strengthen. I am a dancer/performer and personal trainer. Running, swimming, cycling mix it up and you will shape up really fast.

@Brahmaviharas What a stupid idea.

We can’t judge your diet based on what you’ve said, same with your workout routine. Based on the way weight loss works though, you need to eat less or work out more. Try two hours a day, or get up at 6am and go for a morning jog in addition to your workout. Eat salads, veggies, turkey and chicken breasts, et cetera.

People’s definitions of “healthy” vary. I’d suggest cutting sugars, starches, and as many artificial ingredients as you can. Eat low-moderate fats.

Also, as @dynamicduo is wondering, what type of exercise are you doing? It’s possible you could be gaining muscle, which won’t make your weight go down at all, but will make you leaner, and fitter.

starve yourself to death.

I think It’s important to know that you might be losing fat, but also gaining muscle.
muscle weighs more than fat. (:

How fast is “fast?” No more than 2 pounds a week is considered healthy. If your class reunion is next week, those 10 pounds are likely to go with you. However, if it’s in two months, that’s potentially attainable. Not knowing your height or body type, it’s hard to know if you really even need to lose the weight. That makes the fight harder.

One of the dirty little secrets of weight loss is that if you don’t eat enough, you won’t lose weight. Your body “hangs onto” every little calorie you give it because it doesn’t know when it’s going to get more. I’ve been doing something called calorie cycling and it seems to be working.

Weight loss is going to depend on what you’re eating, too. Ditch the fake sweetener, drink water and get rid of refined carbs as a start. Add lean protein & veggies.

Since you’re working out, you need to be sure that you’re eating enough to fuel yourself for that activity as well as your daily routine. And as ubersiren mentioned, you may be gaining muscle. Are your clothes fitting better? Have you measured various places on your body? For the record, muscle does not weight more than fat. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh a pound. A pound of muscle takes up less room than a pound of fat, so as you gain muscle, you may not lose weight, but you will be more toned. (That’s the trouble with trying to compare volume and weight.) Further, muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue. Having more muscle will help you burn more calories when you’re not active. (No, I can’t quote you a number. Sorry about that.)

Also, I doubt that you want to “loose” weight. If your extra weight is loose, you’re going to have jiggle issues. Instead, try to lose weight.

If you’re exercising an hour a day, it’s likely you’re losing fat and building muscle. This will not change your weight, but will redistribute it. Are your clothes fitting differently?

@Jennlauren11 I’m with you! I walk a mile a day and count calories. No visible proof yet, but everyone tells me it will take a while! It does make me feel a lot better! Good luck to you!

@Jennlauren11, if you have ruled out a medical problem, I suggest you not worry about the scale. @cwilber is right and fat weighs less than muscle. My very buff sister weighs about 20 pounds more than she did when she got married, but now she wears about 4 sizes smaller! I wish I had her dedication. But you should invest in a good quality tape measure and measure key points (or have a friend measure to be accurate) such as waist, hips, upper arm, and thighs. And remember that your body is unique (and wonderful – no matter WHAT some dumb scale says) and, if you keep up the healthy eating and working out, your body will adjust in it’s own way and on its own time frame.

@richardhenry Read a bit, get some knowledge, and then refer to things as “stupid.” There’s a lot of literature on Intermmittent Fasting (IF) on the web. I did it for nearly a year and lost about a pound a week until I stopped.

One of the main advantages of IF is that, for people who have difficulty with maintaining a diet all week, they can simply eat normally most of the time and fast 1–2 days a week. This means they’re not under constant psychological stress. And hunger, as it turns out, isn’t much of a problem. Read up

@Brahmaviharas It’s not just weight loss though, it’s your entire well being. Fasting regularly and not making any effort to eat properly can really screw with your chemistry.

@Brahmaviharas Sorry to jump on the bandwagon, but i agree with @richardhenry Not eating puts your body into ‘Starvation Mode’ and slows down your metabolism.

umm here’s some info to help with the question. I’m 5’9, 160, and 30% body fat. I eat veggies, fruits, protein, and dairy every day (I make sure I do). I do 30 mins of cardio every day, 150 crunchs, and yoga once a week. I get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. But the real problem I have is with my pant size. I went up a size from what I was for years and I can’t seem to go back down to that size.

@Sariperana I hate to keep getting dragged into this; I’m not trying to sell IF to anyone. If you’re interested, read up on it, and try it out. If it sounds unbearably difficult, forget it.

1. “It changes your body chemistry.” True. It decreases insulin to very low amounts. This is a very good thing, as hyperinsulemia is a factor in many modern diseases, notably adult-onset diabetes. It also greatly increases growth hormone, a good thing as GH regenerates tissue, prevents muscle loss (even though you aren’t eating any calories), and signals to your body that it’s time to start using fat as fuel (Bodybuilders inject it pre-contest for this fat burning quality.).

2. “Starvation mode..and slow metabolism.” This has been proven false in a number of studies. The metabolism does not appreciably slow down or speed up relative to dietary changes.

Oh, and for the original poster. You’re going to get a lot of seemingly conflicting advice, but what it all boils down to is you must reduce calories. You can do this by 1. eating less calorie-dense foods, or 2) just eating less. The first option is perfectly viable if you don’t care what you eat, don’t get craving for this and that, and your social situation doesn’t force you into a beer or a piece of cake now and then—i.e., if you’re a recluse and have no friends, lol, or don’t mind seeming anal about food. The second option is also viable, and you can either eat less every day, which I personally find psychologically stressful (really, who wants to worry about it every single day?)...or you can eat less on a weekly basis, i.e., skip a day or two, as is done with Intermittent Fasting.

If you don’t eat then fill your face , thats the worst way to go about things . Your body doesn’t process the foods properly , you end up FATTER faster .

LOSE.
