how much could I lose if I just ate fruits and vegetables and lean meats with no more then 2-3 pcs of bread?

Question

and exercised 6 days a week for 30 minutes how long you theink it would take to lose 50 pounds ?

Answer 1

If you take out the pieces of bread you can lose up to 30 lbs if you jog for about 20 minute every day.

Answer 2

I basically did what you described and it took me a year. Everyone is different, so it might take you more or less time. The thing is....forget those stupid fade diets, learn to eat healthy, make it a lifestyle change so you can keep it off for good. Learn portion control, bake, broil, or grill. Watch what you add to your food when it comes to sauces and oils. Eat whole grains, unrefined breads when you eat them. (White processed flours and bread aren't good for you). Whole grains keeps you full longer. Olive and canola oils in small amounts are good fats, (the body needs some fats to stay healthy). Eat many colored veggies (many types), for better health. Stay active. Drink plenty of water, it ads in weight loss and has other wonderful benefits. You'll lose twice as much if you also exercise. And don't lose more then two pounds a week. Lose slow and steady and it will more then likely stay off. And don't give up, you will have good weeks and bad, just be persistent. I'm speaking from personal experience. I've also taught weight lifting and aerobic and have studied health and nutrition for over 30 years. Good Luck!

That depends on how many fruits and vegetables you eat, and what kind. It's calories that count, and you CAN eat enough fruit and vegetables to gain weight. The fruit and vegetables may fill you up and make the calorie intake self limiting, but you can't depend on that; also if you eat olives, avocados, nuts, soy beans you can intake a lot of calories with feeling full.

Get a nutrition book and determine your caloric requirments for you age, height, weight, etc. Then figure how many calories per day you should eat: to lose 50 lb, you need to use up 175,000 more calories than you consume. If you use 500 cal a day more than you eat, it will take 350 days (about a year) to lose 50 lbs!

A 500-calorie per day deficit is safe and should not be difficult. If you try to do more (say 1000 cal per day) you will find it very hard to maintain and chances are you will give up.

Answer 4

If you do decide to do a mostly fruit and vegetable diet with chicken and fish as the primary meats, (I would only have one meat item a day, but that's just me) I would eat about 6 times a day, lots of fluids,
water, juices(watch the sugars), i dont drink milk but again thats my personal disgust for a fatty drink, get your calcium from somewhere else, not a cow. Choose the combinations you like for your meals and if you are going to exercise 6 days a week just be cautious not to over do it at first. good luck

Answer 5

that combined with 8-10 glasses of water a day and daily vitamins (I recommend GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Dietary supplements), you could probably lose 50lbs (if you stuck to it!) in 8-10 weeks.

But it's hard to completely revamp your diet all at once and stick to it for a long period of time. I would recommend changing your diet over a two to three week period, adding more healthy things and getting rid of fatty things. get yourself to exercise 3 times a week, 30 min. a day, then add a day every week. It will take longer to lose the pounds, but the change in diet will have become routine so that once you've lost the pounds, you'll be less likely to gain them back later.

FYI: fruits are carbs

Answer 6

The ideal is to speed and optimize your metabolism. Increase energy use in the body...burning fat, losing weight requires using energy optimally in the body.

What you eat and what you do will determine if you are placing the body in a state where it will release fat.

It is possible to eat foods that lock in fat stores, or through Caloric Deprivation to cause the body to shift it's chemical environment to one that hoards and stores whatever you eat as fat.

Conversely, it is possible to eat in a manner that permits fat to be released round the clock...even when you are relaxed!

Fat loss is basically a three-step process: You have to release it from a fat cell, you have to transport it to a muscle cell, where it is then burned. That said, anything you consider when thinking about fat loss has to support these three things.

Remember, eating too little causes the body to shift it's chemical environment to one that hoards and spares fat, while at the same time breaking down muscle. Any plan that increases calorie output while depriving the body of vital nutrients risks placing the body in a state where it will not release fat.

You understand that now, right?

There is a synergy that can help you eventually reach your goal:
The right nutrition (eating not starving)
Moderate aerobic exercise (too much is not good)
A concern for muscle (protect and challenge muscle)

Combined in the right mix.

The metabolism is the rate at which the food burning machine (the body) burns through calories to produce energy.

Energy comes from when calories are burned in muscle (including fat!)

Putting a supportive meal through the body frequently will boost the metabolism and support all your efforts at improving your health!

A supportive meal consists of:
A lean Protein plus
A starchy carbohydrate plus
A fibrous Carbohydrate

Ideally consumed every 3 to 3-1/2 hours to keep the energy and metabolism cranked up! Ideally from whole food sources, not processed (which, because of factory pre-processing do not improve metabolism).

No hydrogenated fats
Avoid saturated fats
Avoid sugar

Think of aerobic exercise as a way to make the many systems of the body that support being healthy, fit, and lean run more efficiently!

Doing a small, but not excessive, amount of aerobic exercise, especially when done immediately after any resistance exercise, can play a key role in insuring that the body is able to perform optimally in helping you achieve your goals.

Muscle is the location on the body where fat is burned. It strengthens and protects the body, in fact, it creates the shape of the body. Muscle is responsible for our ability to move, and moving plays a key role in the functioning of the immune system. No matter what your desired goal, maintaining, training, toning, shaping, and protecting muscle will play a roll in your success.

Of course there is a little more to it, but you have the basic info!

NOW...you ask about bread being the starch..this is not an ideal whole food choice. You do need starches as they are the primary energy source for the brain and body. You can, after you have gotten the whole synergy in place, speed the amount of fat you lose through various strategies that you might use for brief periods of time.

Then, you can take control of your body once and for all!

Answer 7

You still need carbs and fats. Period.
If you take too much from your diet, you're going to fail. You just need to exercise, and eat lean meats, fruit, veggies, and limit your pasta and carbs intake but do not take them completely away.
carbs give you that boost where you have energy, and protein is something that keeps your body going when the carbs start to disentegrate and you get sleepy... eat lean turkey or chicken..and the tiredness will go away.

Answer 8

no fruit, no bread, no past, no flour, no sugar...eat protein..eggs, chicken, lean meats...lots of veggies...alittle cheese low fat... and run ur *** off....oh drink at least 80 oz of water every day......maybe 5-6 months....
