Is it possible and healthy to lose 80lbs in a year? I am 240 now and 5'8".?

Answer 1

it is possible to do it. realistically, if you eat perfect and work out correct, you can lose 1-2 pounds per week. that will get you in the 50-100 range for the year, but again, it is very tough to do and takes a great dedication.

Answer 2

It is possible, if difficult.

In your case, it might even be healthy. But if I were you, I would work closely with a physician on this. Sudden weight loss can trigger a number of unpleasant conditions.

Right now, I will say that Diet is a dirty four-letter word. What you need is a change in lifestyle, including healthy meals and snacks, more water instead of soda, and more exercise.

Don't worry if your weight loss seems to freeze now and then: It could be that you're in fact packing in muscle where fat used to be.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Sure, losing 1.5 to 2 lbs a week is a healthy and practical approach. Do the math, it can happen!

Answer 4

Yes, in my opinion, 80 lbs in a year is possible and healthy.

Answer 5

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of toxins. Toxins come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The toxins get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the toxins by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast.
