can some one lose 200 lbs in 6 months?

Question

can some one do it my friend says no and hes 430lbs or something like that im not to sure but he says u cant but i say that some one could lose it in 6 months

Answer 1

That's a lot to lose in 6 months. Even if you can, you will end up with low flabs of skin and stretch marks.

So my advice is to lose slowly. I lost 31lbs in a year and I have flat tummy and firm body. You will lose more than me in a year because you have a heavier weight to start with.

Try these
1) Eat 5 to 6 times a day.
2) Eat lots of veggies, lean meat and complex carbs
(low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein.)
3) Reduce sugar intake and simple carbs. They make
you hungry fast.Cut junk food .
4) Take 2 to 3 cups of low fat milk, cheese, yoghurt.
5) Choose an exercise that you like and will do for life.

I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and an hour brisk walk every weekday morning.
And I am still at 108 lbs since I lost 31 lbs one year ago.

Answer 2

Weight does not mean anything, it is the BMI that counts.
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.

BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Try incorporating the Glycaemic Index into your eating plan is surprisingly easy.

Eating a lot of high GI foods can be detrimental to your health because it pushes your body to extremes. This is especially true if you are overweight and sedentary. Switching to eating mainly low GI carbs that slowly trickle glucose into your blood stream keeps your energy levels balanced and means you will feel fuller for longer between meals.
o Low GI diets help people lose and control weight
o Low GI diets increase the body's sensitivity to insulin
o Low GI carbs improve diabetes control
o Low GI carbs reduce the risk of heart disease
o Low GI carbs reduce blood cholesterol levels
o Low GI carbs can help you manage the symptoms of PCOS
o Low GI carbs reduce hunger and keep you fuller for longer
o Low GI carbs prolong physical endurance
o High GI carbs help re-fuel carbohydrate stores after exercise

Answer 3

Don't buy into that "detox diet" quackery. Although I have a feeling you're a shill for the website posted in the first answer.

No body can healthfully lose that much weight in so little time. Even with bariatric surgery it takes longer ... and that's about as extreme as it gets.

Answer 4

Here is a plan that is controversial to some, but works for some.

Also do a google search for Meat and Egg program.

Answer 5

Unfortunatelly, the most you can lose in a week without jeopardizing your health is 2 pounds at the most, preferably 1.

Answer 6

no, your friend is right, it is not possible to lose 200 pounds in six months by diet and exercise, not even those who have gastric surgery lose the weight that fast. And it is very unsafe to try.

Answer 7

Losing weight quickly is dangerous. He needs to be under a doctor's care.

Answer 8

no way, you'd have to chop off a limb or something to lose that much weight! you'd probably die trying to lose that much in such a short period of time...

try something else, a healthier approach i mean
