How to lose 30 pounds in three months?

Answer 1

Start out by drinking half your weight in ounces of water daily.

Cut out all sweets, meats & anything white.
Eat lots of salads and veggies and take a very good multivitamin.
'My Favorite Multiple' by Natrol is one of the best. Always take it with food (in the capsule form) so it breaks down and absorbs with your food. You can also have fruit .. but not too much and preferably early in the day (for energy.)

Eat small meals more often - 5-6 per day, rather than 3 meals ... it will keep your metabolism active. If you have to have bread, make sure it's whole grain ... this will add fiber to your diet and move things along nicely. Fish is good too .. salmon is the best. You can have fish 2-4 times a week.
Try not to eat after 7:30 at night. (if you get hungry, just drink more water).
Hoodia is something which stops you from being hungry. If you get a good brand it works. Follow the directions.

Short of doing the above ... if you can't control your eating habits,
write to me and will tell you how I lost 36 lbs in 6 weeks with a patented formula of engineered nutrition!! I went from being a size 16 to a size 6.

Answer 2

I personally think losing 30 lbs in 3 months would be unsafe but you would have to workout at least 3 hours a day for maximum results...

Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is supser helpful. It seems weird but it does! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet.
It's best to have 5 meals a day that way you need get to hungry because that leads to over eating.
Here is a couple ideas to help you ge started:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit.
Lunch:
1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious.
Dinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes: 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.
Dessert:
Light Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:
3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup.
Snacks:
Steamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein),
my personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)

You can have any of the under 6 grams of fat sandwiches! They're delicious just No MAyo. My favorite is Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like to get a foot long and have a 6' for lunch and a 6' for dinner.

make sure you at least do 30 minutes of excercise 5 days a week. I like to walk to the store and back instead of drive =)

This was just some ideas to help you on your way.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 3

I did it ! But I had been exercising for a while (several months) before I dropped 10 pounds each month (Oct, Nov, Dec-2003).

So I was exercising 1 -2 hours per day, 6 times per week on a treadmill (jogging and walking, mostly jogging). I am sure I could have lost it faster with this type of program but I still loved to eat junk food and donuts.

What also helped was that I did not get on the scale daily, only once per month.

Good luck !

Answer 4

"Crash dieting" will only make you gain weight back even faster, because you are losing muscle as opposed to fat. The best way to do it is to have a calorie defiet of 500 calories, and exercise to burn 500/cal a day. That will help you lose about 2 lbs a week. You can lose about 24lbs, but you can tone up and look like you have lost 30 lbs.

You didn't gain weight overnight, so you can't lose it right away either.

Good luck.

Fitnessmagazine.com is a good website.

Also just cut out stuff like soda, candy, chips, stuff with too many calories. Stick with the food groups: dairy and eggs, fruits, veggies, meats (chicken and fish preferably), and your grains of course.

Answer 5

3 months gives you 12 weeks and at about 2-4 pounds per week of weight loss, it can be done but it will be hard. You need to increase your caloric expenditure (work out) and control your caloric intake (eat less). Keep a diary of what you eat and the work outs that you do. Aerobic workouts like running and other exercises that keep you breathing hard and your heart rate up help burn calories by increasing your oxygen intake and burning fat (and some muscle when it gets too stressful); whereas weight training helps you to continue burning those calories, especially fat, by building muscle to burn away the extra fat. You have to monitor what you eat; if you figure about 10-12 calories per pound of body weight to lose weight (so if you weigh, for example 150 pounds, you'll need to get your caloric intake down to 1500-1800 calories a day), start to lower your food intake until you get to a target daily calorie count. Start by cutting out extra sugars and carbs and cut about 250-500 calories during the first week. Then cut down on the extra fat and cut another 250-500 calories for the second week. Keep on cutting calories in a similar manner every week, until you reach a target daily calorie count. As you cut down on extra foods that have sugar and simple carbs and excess fat, you should be dividing your meals to smaller but more frequent meals. When you hit a week where you've hit a wall with your weight loss, take a day (no more) and cheat, but don't go crazy where you'll get sick or give yourself a heart attack. Also, give yourself one cheat-meal every week-two weeks where you eat a little extra. When you work out, give yourself about 2-4 days per week of aerobic workouts and about 3-5 days of weight training. On the days you train with weights, go easy on the aerobic workouts and on the days you're not weight training, push yourself with the aerobics. The best way to do your aerobics on the non-weight training days is to do intervals where you alternate between pushing yourself to the max, going as hard and as fast as you can for 1-6 minutes and taking it very easy for 1-4 minutes. Since your goal is weight loss,and I'm assuming not necessarily too much muscle gains, you'll probably do best with compound movements like bench presses, squats, deadlifts, barbell rows and shoulder presses and keeping your reps high at around the 2-4 set and 12-20 range, where your last rep is really your last and you can't do a single rep more for that set. Too avoid overworking yourself where you sabotage your workouts, weight training and your weight loss, give your self one or two days every week of no working out. The first week will be the toughest and most painful in terms of muscle soreness but if you stretch before and after, it will reduce the soreness and go easy on the advils or tylenols because you want your muscles to adapt to the weights and running/aerobic activity. Before you do all of this just make sure you're healthy enough to do this. Start easy and work into a regular, hard routine and listen to your body; if something doesn't feel right stop and get to a doctor! Good luck and stay safe!

Answer 6

If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate , and plan your diet carefully.
