what is the maximum amount of weight a person can lose in a week?

Question

and what does said person have to do daily to lose said weight.

Answer 1

Well what a person CAN lose and what a person SHOULD FOCUS ON LOSING are two different things.

A person should focus on losing about 2 pounds a week. In order to do this, your caloric intake (what you eat/drink) is going to need to be 1000 calories less than your caloric needs (to keep you alive, exercise, and perform regular daily activities). Easiest way to do this is eat less and exercise more (for the corresponding amounts).

Weight loss in excess of this 2lbs will probably end up being part water weight, part muscle. The water weight lost is pointless unless you are a wrestler/boxer trying to make weight because it will come back. The muscle lost will actually do more harm than good because a loss in muscle will reduce your lean body mass thereby reducing the amount of calories you burn when you aren't engaging in physical activity.

Bottom line: eat healthier and exercise more. Tried and true and no gimmick, but it is truly the only way to lose weight AND keep it off.

Answer 2

There have been people who have gone on fad diets and liquid diets and lost over 10 pounds in a week. However, Weight does not equal Fat, the most fat you will lose in a week will be around 1% of your body weight ( 2 to 3 pounds most likely ).

So you can focus on the scale and find a fad diet and lose 2 pounds of fat, 3 pounds of muscle and 5 pounds of water and be happy with your results, but in a few weeks when your metabolism slows because of the muscle loss, then you will begin regaining the weight and the weight you will regain will be all fat.

Answer 3

it is recommended that a person not lose more than 1 -2 pounds a week. this way it is safe and healthy and you are more likely to keep the weight off. (the first couple weeks a person may lose more, but it will be mostly water weight)

Answer 4

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Answer 6

Why is everyone concered about there weight? I was concered badly one time, And I
Got skinny and it wasn't really fun so I put on a extra few pounds. Your weight is what
god wanted you to be, and if you don't like it, then you don't like what god gave you.
You should be happy god gave you a life.

But!, If you really wanna loose weight heres what you do. swimming season is coming
up and I know your really scared people will laugh at you.

- with every meal drink Water or Orange juice, Milk sometimes (Milk is very fattening).

- If you are bored and you think about eating and you think your hungry don't eat
Because you are really not hungry your just thinking about it. So try to do some sit ups
or push ups instead. Or do what you like to do.

- If you have junk food in your house, then get it all out. Because if you don't have
Junk food in your house, Guess what, You want be ABLE to eat it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Let's say you eat alot of junk food, and you stop eating it. You will drop 15 pounds
easy.WHEN YOU SEE A CANDY, THINK OF A HOT GIRL/GUY IN A BATHING SUIT AND THINK WHO
YOU WANT MORE.

- Get some Fruits in your house loaded, and eat those when you are hungry but try
Drinking Lots of water too.

- Exercises -

1.) Punch air - Makes your arm look non-fat.
2.) Running/walking - Good for you also burns what you ate in the past 24 hours.
3.) Biking - Burns the most calories and fun. just ride around fast for 10 - 20 minutes
straight.
4.) Swimming burns the same and more as biking, because your using your whole body, You
can loose 5 pounds by swimming for 2 hours doing fast laps.
5.) Weight lifting - Light weights make your muscles the same and get the fat off you
also you look better. Heavy weights - Builds muscles like body builders.

But, People like you for who you are and if they don't and you wanna
change so they will like you don't because that is not a true friend.But
if you are really fat, and you want to impress a girl, then do what I just told you
Believe me it works. DONT get frustrated if you don't see results, because it will
take about 3-5 days mabey even 2 days if you try really really hard.

HERES WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO :

Get on your couch and put your behind right on the edge of it or
where your comfortable, and start doing sit ups while watching T.V., I
do This everynight and moring for 100 sit ups for 3 sets. I did this for
4 days and got a flat stomach

You might start seeing your lower body stick out more, and thats normal,
All you do is lay on a flat floor and raise your legs for 25 seconds each for
5-7 sets. Do this in the moring and at night. P.S. - Lower body is the hardest part
to get tight so don't get frustrated about instant results cause your not going to get
instant rusults.

If your pecks, or known as your upper body is popping out, then do some
push ups at your house. Do 10-15 a set if you wait them to get a bit littler
and cut. You see guy models with cut pecks because that is what turns the lady on.

For cardio vascular - Skip fast rope for 3 minutes then another session
do this for 30 minutes if you want results fast!
Also jogging. Helps tremendously! Do 20 minutes of jogging, and if you
can't do the whole 20 minutes jogg in between.

Foods that I eat alot :

Apples - 0 calories and feels you up.

Green beans - 60 calories a CAN but great for your health.

Grapes - Idk how many calories but great too.

Any fruits are good for you.

Drinks :

Soda - Twice a week or non

Water - ALOT 0 calories, good for you, FEELS you up alot.

Orange juice - Great for your health.
