If i eat this daily and work out will i lose 2 pounds in a week?

Question

Morning: Cereal (Frosted flakes) Then water.
Lunch:Sweet potatoe and maybe an apple or banana for a snack.
Dinner: Veggies and chicken. And then another apple.
And i walk for about an hour a day.
And do 50 sit ups.

Answer 1

I would go with a different cereal, or several different ones. Cheerios, Rice chex, shredded wheat, total, etc., are all much healthier choices than that. Also, add some fruit juice or a piece of fruit into your breakfast along with the water.

That is a nutritionally deficient lunch. It's okay for one day, maybe, but not every day.
Other/better options:
Make yourself a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread and a salad with light dressing.
Have a bowl of tomato or chicken noodle soup (preferably low sodium), and a piece of fruit.

The dinner is okay, provided you vary the veggies enough to be getting the vitamins you need.

Drink water all day, at least 10 cups, or more depending on your weight.

Changes aside, I can't say for sure how much weight you'll lose/week without knowing how much weight you're starting with, and a few other factors. If you are an otherwise healthy adult: as an example, say you're 5'8 and 180 lbs, you'll probably lose 2 lbs a week or so on that regimen.

I don't know how capable you are of other exercise, but you might consider adding in occasional heavier cardio. If you are able to jog, you should start to add it into your walking time (walk a little, jog a little). This will accelerate your loss. Again, if you're able, stair steppers and elliptical machines are also a good way to get in a heavier cardio workout. If you DO go for something heavier, don't decrease your workout time. It should always be at least an hour long.

Whatever your stats are, that should be a relatively healthy way to lose the weight as is, but keep in mind that you'll lose less if you have less to lose, and this means that loss will slow down dramatically as you near your goal weight.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I don't think that you'll shed the whole two pounds with frosted flakes in the mix, too much sugar, try to get by with an unsweetened cereal.

Answer 3

you won't lose any body fat on that diet. there isn't enough calories, protein, fiber, vegetables or healthy fats. there is a lot more to fat loss then cals. in vs. cals out.

your first 2 meals are nothing except carbs when they should be high in protein and low in carbs but the dinner is fine. meals should be more balanced like:

Breakfast:
2-3 egg whites
1 serving of whole oatmeal
1 serving of fruit

Snack:
apple & peanut butter

Lunch:
salad with tuna or skinless poultry on top

Snack:
handfull of mixed nuts or seeds

Dinner:
chicken and veggies

Snack:
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese

Answer 4

Try these changes:
Morning: Glass of low-fat/soy milk
Snack: Small Apple
Midday: Whole grain tuna/chicken sandwich
Snack: celery sticks
Dinner: Something small and healthy

Don't have meals, just have healthy snacks every 2 or so hours. And have lots of protein.
