How can I lose 3 kgs in 35 days without too much stress?

Question

I started counting calories...but its too cumbersome...didnt know even yogurt or a tea spoon oil will be counted in the end...cant just make the 1300 cal cut...invariably it goes upto 1500-1700

Does anyone know what to do?

Answer 1

do some exersise.

Answer 2

To lose weight, a person has to reduce the calorie intake by some amount by modifying their diet. A diet without sufficient nutrients will only increase the appetite of the person trying to lose weight. Since most people combine a diet with an exercise plan, additional nutrients are required for the growth of muscles required to increase the metabolic rate required for long term weight loss.

Answer 3

Depends on your currrent weight and physical activity. Do you need to lose almost 7 pounds?

Anyway...
For one, stop being a member of the "Clean Plate Club". You can probably blame your parents for making you eat everything on your plate as a kid and thus forming your mindset.

Drink lots of water. Cut out cokes, and even Diet drinks because of all the sodium which leads to water absorbtion and weight gain.

Increase you physical activty. Walk about two miles a day if you can, start slowly, say 1/2 or one mile, and build up.

The Special K cereal diet worked for me to lose 1.5 kg in about 2 weeks by replacing two meals a day with a bowl of cereal and 2% milk.

Anything under 1800 isn't bad. If it's too cumbersome, then you need to adjust your priorities. Here's some simple suggestions:

Losing weight really is as simple as basic addition and subtraction. If the calories you eat add up to more than what you burn in a given time period, you will gain weight. Conversely, if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Depending on your size and activity level, the number of calories will vary quite a bit. The secret is finding your “break even” calorie intake level. For most people, the “ball park” figure will be around 1800 to 2000 calories per day. If you are larger than average, this number will be higher, lower if you are smaller than average. Metabolic rate can have an effect on these numbers as well. Exercise plays an important role also, as this can increase the number of calories you burn by quite a bit as well as increasing your metabolic rate.

If you want a generally healthy diet that’s easy to follow and avoids hunger, the one I recommend will do the job very well. You can fill up and still lose weight. Eat lots of fresh vegetables as they contain very few calories yet are full of good nutrition. The less you cook them, the more nutrition they retain. Stick with whole grains, as they tend to be better for you and don’t turn to sugar as readily as processed grains do. For example, whole grain bread is much better for you than plain white bread. Eat a variety of fruit on a daily basis. Avoid empty carbs, fats, and sugars…. Examples: junk food and soda. If you feel you need protein to build muscle, add some chicken or fish to your diet. Avoid beef and dairy products, the cons outweigh the pros.

If you can’t get your mind into the ‘eat to live; don’t live to eat’ mode, you should probably read this short article on the psychology behind overeating:

Answer 5

3 kgs in 35 days?????? Gee I could lose 15 kgs in that time, Just drink lots of water, walk at least 4kms a day, eat fruit and veg, and just have a light meal for dinner, a piece of chicken breast with some vegies, stay off the butter and cheese, watch ur salt intake and just be sensible, 3 kgs is nothing, Gee I lose that going to the toilet..lol...

Answer 6

Personal experience:
I lost more than 5kgs in 6days after my holidays in Aust. Cos I used to eat 3-5meals a day in Singapore plus supper is a must too. In Aust I only have abt 2-3 meals a day, more walking too. Been driving around too much in Singapore. Too busy to excerise too... So I guess, normal meals intake n regular excerise helps a great deal...

Answer 7

if calories are important to you, you must increase activity to offset it
200- 400 extra calories can be offset easily with a rowdy hour in the sack

Answer 8

Eat less...eat healthy foods...avoid junk food.

3 kgs in 35 days is quite a goal!!

Good luck
