Is it possible to loose five pounds in a month?

Question

I have an event coming up in about a month that I want to look my best for. Is is possible to loose five to seven pounds (in a reasonably healthy way) in that amount of time?

Answer 1

Yes, that is well within limits to lose it smart and safely.

Cut intake by 500 calories a day.

Cut out all junk food and sodas.

Increase intake of raw vegetables and water.

Exercies for at least 30 minutes five days a week

Answer 2

I have been on Weight Watchers for a number months. At the beginning I have lost 5-6 pounds a week, and the further I go, I have been dropping 3-4 pounds a week. The system is real easy to follow. I didn't join Weight Watchers, but there is enough information online that you can follow the basic system without having to pay Weight Watchers.

Answer 3

Of course, just start smoking and washing down diet pills with Red Bull... OK, that will work, but it will put you in an early grave. It's really just simple math: burn more calories than you are taking in. Try this:
-Eat less fat and sugar and drink more water (always order water and skip dessert).
-If possible, eat 5-6 smaller meals instead of 3 larger ones (this is difficult, but will raise your metabolism).
-Do 20+ minutes of cardio before breakfast most mornings (anything that will raise your heart rate will do).
-Work out with weights at least 3 times a week.
-Get 6-8 hours of sleep every night (preferably 8).
-Start drinking green tea and taking a multi-vitamin every day (recent scientific research suggests that green tea has potent fat-burning properties).
-Be consistent! Most people don't have the time or self-control to really lose weight and get into the shape they want. Good luck.

Answer 4

If you want to loosen weight, just untie it.

Loose/loosen = untie, unbind
Lose = misplace, decrease

Having said that, it is not unreasonable to be able to lose five pounds in one month's time with a proper diet and exercise. I think people get into trouble (and lose mainly water) when they want to do more than about two to three pounds a week.

I'm glad that you have alloted a whole month, you have a good chance of makin this goal. Good luck!

Answer 5

Sure. Instead of soda drink water. Walk instead of driving short distances and look for reasons not to have that slice of pie. Eat a carrot. It is easy to say something and do it. I struggled this morning and had to eat German chocolate. I'm 5'10" weigh 150, but I still need to watch my diet. Good luck!

Answer 6
