Will this plan work?

Question

this is my plan to lose weight and i was wondering if anyone thinks it will actually work.....

1200 calories a day
jog 1 mile a day
walk 30 minutes-1 hour every day
300 crunches every day
strength 10 minutes a day
swim as much as possible

so will this work?! How much will I lose in a week?!

Answer 1

if u do that ur gona drop an a ss load.

Answer 2

sounds liek a good plan but like someone else said dont do abs everyday . maybe 3 times a week you may want to increase your clorie intake otherwise you wont have enough energy to be doing that mucu activity, maybe 1800-2000 calories would be good. You should go online and look up your BMI and see how many calories you need to cut in order to drop 1 lb a week. You could just eat normally and keep a calorie counter on hand and take off 500-800 calories a day. if u cut it 500 calories then ud loose 1 lb a week. hope things work you for you =)

Answer 3

1)Depends on your current weight and fitness level.
2)If you have enough time or can free up enough time to do it all.
3)If you learn or already know which foods are best and worst for producing calories.

Your possible results could vary greatly, especially depending on factor #1.
If you're in terrible shape right now, then the plan is a little extravagant.
However, if you're in decent shape now, the plan seems viable, except maybe drop down the 300 crunches to 150 or 100.
Good luck!

Answer 4

The 1200 calorie thing looks great, but I don't know about all the activity. You might want to increase your calorie intake by atleast 200 if you are going to workout alot.

Answer 6

How old are you? I hope you do this around the emergency room or with a paramedic nearby who can stick you with some IV's after you passout from only consuming 1200 cal/day. Bring it up to 1800.

Answer 7

How much you lose depends on how much you weigh now. Plus do not do abs every day it isn't good for them - they need to rest. 1200 cals is pretty low for that much activity - good luck

Answer 8

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.

you need more calories than that especially if your exercicing that much. it depends on your height and build..if you want to lose weight and your serious about it it has to be a life changing diet.. you have to stick to it.

Answer 10

If you are doing ALL that exercise, you need more calories. Calories are energy.

I personally think that you are overdoing it.
