I'm getting frustrated losing weight. I'm at a stand still right now.I know this is not the healthiest thing..

Question

...to do but I was thinking about starting to eat a little each day. Probably like 1,000 calories to lose 10 lbs. fast. Obviously when people do this and then start to eat normally again, they gain the weight right back. But, what if I gradually started upping my calorie intake while also exercising 5 days a week. Will I be able to maintain the weight I lost fast?

Answer 1

Just burn off more calories than you consume. Plateaus are normal, but if you stick with it, mb cut some more calories, or add more exercise, you will begin to lose again. Good luck!!

Answer 2

Weight that is lost "fast" tends to come back- almost as quickly. Here are a couple of "tips" to help you out; #1. Eat ONLY when you're hungary- NOT when you're tempted. How many times have you LOOKED at some food item & thought to yourself, "Boy- THAT looks good!" Don't let those "good looks" seduce you into eating something- when 10 seconds earlier- you weren't hungary! Eat because you HAVE TO- NOT because it's "there" or others are doing it. #2. Drink at least 2 10 oz. glasses of Ice Water EVERY DAY. Your body burns Calories to keep itself at 98.6 Degrees. You'll burn an extra 120 calories- a day EVERY DAY- you drink that Ice Water. If you do the Math, that means you'll LOSE an extra Pound a Month, & 12 Pounds a Year- Simply by drinking a couple of glasses of Ice water every day! And finally #3. Keep up with the exercising... Food that's allowed to SIT in your stomach- ends up "sticking to your ribs". Exercising "keeps it moving" & burns it up. Working out needs to be a part of your "Lifestyle Change..." You can lose that weight for GOOD- if you put food in its "place"- NOT at the "Center of your Universe". ... Good luck! :)

Answer 3

apparently, no. the fastest you should lose per week is 2lb to ensure you don't gain all that weight back even faster.

the whole calorie intake business is an old measurement so i don't recommend you follow that. just eat proper healthy. seriously, fruit, veg, fish and some good carbs like rice is all you need to lose it. ok, here's my diet and activity level. i lost 10lb in 1month and didn't exercise for 1month cause went on holiday. ate loads abroad too. thought i gained loads back on but didn't gain a single 1lb :)

breaky - branflakes/oats (never skip!)
2hours snack later - a kiwi
lunch - raw salmon with bowl of rice and kiwi
2hours snack later - yet again, another kiwi
2hours later - guess...
dinner time - rice with stirred fried mix veg (choose any as long as it is a veg!!!). only meat allowed is turkey breast (healthier than chicken).

eat that every single day and run 20-30mins per day, 5-7 times per week.

guarantee success. the key is not being hungry ever and eating small meals regularly to speed the metabolism.

Answer 4

nope, sorry it don't work like that, they say a pound a day is the healthiest and if you do it that way, it usually stays off if you maintain healthy eating habits and ex cerise, i know its hard and its crappy, and its unfair to have to struggle all the time, only to lose a pound and the next day its back, you just want to scream and gIve up!!!!!!!believe me i know, ive always been heavy, and forever on a diet, but now finally with a diabetic diet, I'm starting to lose, slowly but consistent, i ex cerise like crazy and even hired a personal trainer, i start this week going to, ill let you all know how that goes, i don't want to be a toothpick, just healthy, and a good weight for my body?pray for me, ill pray for you, good luck and god bless you

Answer 5

1000 calories is probably a little low. The combination of exercise and the correct amount of food (types of foods like protein, carbs and fat are not all the same) will help you get the results you want.
