Is it possible to lose 10pounds in 25 days ?

Answer 1

Definitely, Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

Answer 2

Krista is full of crap:
"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "
BS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.
"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."
More BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.
"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."
WHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.
"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two [sic] complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "
More crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients.

Don't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

Answer 3

Sure, but you need to rephrase the question to "Is it possible to learn 10 pounds of fat in 25 days" Just starve yourself while doing as much running as you can. You'll lose it if you don't have a coronary and you'll be destroying valuable muscle tissue. If you weigh about 180 lbs, the most fat you can lose is about 1-2 lbs per week. Settle for that. In order to lose one pound of fat, you need to run a caloric deficit of 3500 calories. So if you need 2500 calories to maintain your weight, cutting down to 2,000 calories a day will lose you one pound a week. If you start exercising, you will lose even more.

Answer 4

Of course. But I don't think there's a healthy way to do so. The only way I've ever lost that much weight fast, was when I had the flu.

I lost 10 pounds in approx. 3 days. A lot of it was probably water weight though. I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to gain it back.

Answer 5

Don't eat anything with sugar.
Nothing processed.
Only fresh fruits, veggies and protein.
No bread.
You have to eat at least 5 to 6 small meals a day.
Drink lots of water and exercise.
After you get down where you want, make sure you add in your whole grains.

Answer 6

Yes. It happened to me when I was diagnosed with borderline diabetes. I stopped drinking pop and eating bread and immediately lost weight. I drink lots of water and take 2-3 walks a day, but they only equal about a mile and a half.

Answer 7

yes, but i wouldn't recommend it. Excessive weight loss in such a short amount of time will activate your body's starvation reflex. This will slow down your metabolism so that your body burns calories slower. It is recommended to take a diet slow and lose no more than 2 pounds per week.

Answer 8

yeah my sister lost 22 lbs in 4 weeks by eating low calorie food and exercising 45 minutes a day. she went from 160 to 138 lbs

Answer 9

yes - go with less carbs - but do not totally eliminate them as this is a good source of energy. less sugars, less fats. make sure proteins are not forgotten - this is a vital part of dieting! drink water intemittently during your meal, so it makes you feel full faster, and helps cleanse your body as well.

exercise regularly, and drink lots and lots of water to keep yourself hydrated.

don't eat too late at night or too close to bedtime.

Answer 10

Anything is possible but remember if you lose weight to quickly you are sure to gain it all back and maybe even more, once you get back to your usual eating habits. But I wish you luck.
