Lose 30 Pounds by December?

Question

Hello everyone. I would like to know if it is possible to lose 30 pounds by December. I currently weigh 125 and I'm 4'9". Losing 30 pounds would but me at my weight before I had my son.

Some things you should know; I don't like vegetables. I dont live close to a gym, but I do own a Weslo Momentum 750 Elliptical. Even though I eat about twice a day, the pounds seem as they just keep adding on, however, I do not excersize at all.


I'd like suggestions for losing weight. And keeping it off ... maybe also some motivational success stories!

Answer 1

I have lost around 60 lbs in 6 months and I will tell you what not to eat. The first myth we have been told is that fat is bad. Sugar and carbohydrate are the big nasties. In fact, reduced fat food that has had some of the fat removed is actually more fattening than the regular food because the removed fat in most cases has been replaced with carbs! This is the main reason why you must absolutely stay away from ALL processed food with no exception. Eat fresh and natural. You must have 3 meals a day and get into a routine so your body knows when to expect food. Your body is capable of doing exquisite things to avoid weight loss if it thinks it’s going to get starved, so you must feed it and regularly.

The other thing you must do is keep your insulin as low as possible by getting sugar and carbs in your diet as close to zero as you can and not having ANYTHING between meals except water. Also having at least 5 hours between one meal and another. The last meal of the day must be no later than 9pm. Insulin is a hormone that will absolutely block fat and protein burning in your body and force it to burn sugar, that's how it works. You will NOT lose weight with your blood stream flooded with insulin, even with exercise. It’s impossible. You must have at least 8 glasses of water a day in order for your liver and kidneys to excrete the fat from your body this is crucial.

Now, what you must stay away from and I mean, non at all. Bread, pasta, rice, pastry, flour of any kind, sugar, potato, onion, parsnip, sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot, carrots, peas, beans, beer, sweet wine, spirits, spreads like butter and margarine and be very careful of sauces and condiments. Fruit and milk should be taken very, very sparingly because they are fattening. Fruit is full of sugar too, only a very small amount. Avoid all processed food including diet soda it will stimulate insulin. 3 cups of black tea or coffee WITH meals a day is OK. Use Stevia for a sweetener.

OK, if you are still with me, what can you eat? In a nutshell you replace the carbs you have removed with protein and green leafy vegetables. Do not mix protein only 1 per meal. This is what you can eat. Lean meat, poultry, fish, cheese, yoghurt and eggs are your permitted proteins. Cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts, broccoli, capsicum, mushroom, celery, zucchini and a small amount of tomato. You can have unlimited amounts of lettuce and cucumber but ONLY at meal times. You can use balsamic vinegar as a dressing; mustard is ok too but only made from the powder. Shop bought is full of sugar! Curry powder in cooking can be used as well. One tablespoon of olive oil is ok per day, in cooking and as a dressing. Garlic is OK but not shop bought; you guessed it, full of sugar. Use fresh.

I will GUARANTEE if you stick to this you will loose heaps of weight, fast. I know it's not easy and you need the support of your family too.

Just another couple of things I forgot. NO breakfast cereal and avoid really heavy exercise you will just burn glycogen in your muscles, not fat and it will just make you sore and tired. You need prolonged gentle exercise to burn fat like walking. You don't need to exercise at all on this diet as long as you're moving about. Last but not least read food labels and look at the ingredients. Avoid foods like the plague with more than 5 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams. If you like a drink, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (very dry and low in carbs) with a little soda water is OK with meals.

Good Luck. Jules, lecturer. Australia.

Answer 2

You can lose that much by December. I lost 14# in 3 weeks. But it sounds like you would be awful small. You've had a baby! Your body is going to change. 95# just seems like such a low number. But then again, that would put your BMI in the normal range.

Get on that elliptical. They are great. I think an hour of cardio on that thing is like 800 calories. It's all about the numbers. If you spend more calories than you take in, you lose weight. 3,500 calories = 1 pound of fat. Cut your diet by 200 calories a day, use the elliptical for 30 minutes. That makes for a loss of 4200 calories a week. Which is somewhere around a pound and a half a week. 25 weeks until December (the end), that should get you there.

Answer 3

you just answered your own question. you can't really be serious about asking how to lose weight and then admit freely that "i do not exercise at all"........that will get you NOWHERE. eat healthy and balanced meals, exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. the reason you are gaining weight is BECAUSE you only eat twice a day. you must eat 5-6 times per day to keep your metabolism consistent. tricking it with food then taking the food away for more than 12 hours at a time will cause your body to go into survival mode even on a daily basis, where it stores food as fat because i doesn't know when it will get food again. snack on raw vegetables and grains, drink water ONLY. no coffee, soda, and sports drinks. take a good multi-vitamin.

losing weight is very simple: burn off more than you take in.

don't be lazy. "i don't live near a gym" and "i don't like vegetables" makes you sound lazy and half-hearted about this. 30 pounds in 5 months is a huge undertaking, so either commit, or don't. it's up to you.
