how do you lose 30 pounds in 2 months?

Question

going to pool in april!!

Answer 1

That is certainly an ambitious goal...try to reduce your calorie intake to the normal suggested amount (2000 calories for women)..also focus on consuming a greater quantity of fruits and veggies since they have a lower calorie count in general...the most calorie-burning forms of exercise include biking, running, or weightlifting...i do caution that weightlifting will cause an increase in muscle content so the scale may not appear to change, but in reality you have lost a lot of fat....stay focused and do not skip meals! don't snack and you should see some results if not your total goal! good luck!

Answer 2

I lost about 40 pounds in about 2 1/2 months, and I have kept it off for over five years. The way I did it changed my life, and I couldn't be happier about it. Here's how:

I reduced the amount of food I ate, but ate plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (and fish and meat). I cut out processed food entirely. An example of what I would eat for lunch is a "condiment sandwich," which amounts to a cheese sandwich without the cheese: plenty of lettuce, sprouts and other veggies, mustard to give it some flavor (no mayo!), on good whole-grain bread. I consulted a nutritionist and started taking a range of supplements to make sure I was getting all the vitamins and minerals I needed, despite the reduced calorie intake.

The /most important thing/, though, is that I started getting at least an hour of aerobic exercise 5-6 days a week. I swam, ran, or biked--I like "real" exercise, preferably outdoors, rather than "synthetic" exercise like lifting weights or taking an exercise class. It is important to take a day or two off from exercise each week to recover. It is also important to get rather more than 30 minutes of exercise when you do exercise, so that your body gets into a "fat burning mode." (It takes half an hour to really warm up.) To be in fat burning mode, you don't want to push too hard. If you really exert, you will be in the anaerobic regime, where your body burns principally sugars rather than fat. Fast walking or hiking is great exercise, and probably better for you than running if you are really overweight. The thing is to turn your body into a machine that likes to move and to run on (stored) fat--instead of a machine that likes to sit still and eat processed food. I know it is hard to find the time to exercise at first. But in a matter of a few weeks you will find that the exercise makes you feel so good that it becomes a natural priority.

Now I can eat whatever I want, but I still stay away from processed foods. They are no longer tempting, anyway.

It turns out that I fell in love with trail running, and ended up running a marathon, then a 50 kilometer race, then 50 mile races, then a 100 km race, and finally half a dozen 100-mile mountain trail races (so far). Exercise is wonderfully addictive. Being outdoors on the trails, moving, alone or with friends is one of the biggest joys in my life, one I had never tasted until I was in my 40s.

You can lose 30 pounds in 2 months, and it can change your life if you start getting aerobic exercise 5 or 6 days a week. Two months is long enough to establish good eating and exercise habits that you can carry forward for the rest of your life Be careful, though: rapid weight loss is dangerous, and if you starve yourself, you can damage your heart and other vital organs.

I recommend reading "The Maffetone Method" by Phil Maffetone, "Slow Burn" by Stu Mittleman, and "Why We Run" (aka "Racing the Antelope") by Bernd Heinrich. I don't believe everything in the Maffetone and Mittleman books, but there is a lot in them that is valuable.

Good luck!

Answer 3

30 lbs is alot to lose in 2 months but if you start now maybe you could lose at least half of it. Start by eating fresh fruits and vegetables, yougurt, eggs, beans. Stop eating greasy fried foods, potatoes, butter, breads, red meat, sweets and start excercising or walking at least 3-5 times a week. Believe it works. I lost 48 lbs last year in about 5 months and have kept it off.
Good Luck.

Answer 4

Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.
