How quickly can you loose weight?

Think i might give that ketosis lark a try next week, tried plain cutting down and the hunger pangs/acid were a nightmare.

Doing a walk every day, cut down my sugar intake (i guess 3 sugars in my tea is a bit excessive), stopped eating the crap the wife brings home from work. Put on a load of weight over the last two years, be nice to get rid of some of it!
 
Doing exercise is a lot better than cutting eating.

Cut out all sugars. they give you hunger pangs due to messing the blood sugar levels up.

Hmmmm....must be because I was cycling across London streets, that I did about 3.5 miles in 25 minutes, and I was cycling pretty fast.... was surprised at an estimate of 20-25 for your journey!

i think you've got a distance wrong or a time wrong or maybe you cycle slow cos I run 3 miles in 24 mins!

probably all the traffic lights or something..

Ok, its not the end of the world. You are young and have plenty of time to better yourself. But lets clear one thing up right now - being lazy will not get you anywhere. A combination of good diet and good exercise, will.

If you are fat it is tempted to lose weight very quickly by crash dieting. I did this and have been left with stretched skin, making it almost impossible to create a 'sculpted' look, but I am getting there.

The healthy way to lose the puppy fat is exercise at least 3 times a week for one hour. No excuses. No ifs no buts. Thats what you have to do. You will not cut into you fat supplies as much if you do not exercise for longer periods of time.

If you are running for this amount of time, the chances are you will burn up to 1000 calories. Don't think this means its ok to still diet heavily! If your intake is 2500 a day and you are dieting to 2000, burning 1000 on a run frequently is a fairly silly thing to do. Aim to average (with exercise) 1700-2000 calories a day.

Its important to eat the right foods and eat them often. Thats goodbye crisps, goodbye sweets, goodbye chocolate, goodbye bacon... you get the gist. Swap your bread, pasta and rice to wholemeal varieties and comsume plenty of protein. And I mean plenty. Eggs, chicken and fish are a great way of achieving this.

This is particuarly important if you are planning to maintain any muscle you have. You certainly do not want to do from fat to skinny with stretchy skin.

My current routine for losing weight is the following.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 2 hours weights session
Tuesday, Thursday, Saterday - 6 mile jog (50 minutes)

A typical breakfast might be 2 poached eggs and two pieces of wholemeal bread.

A lunch might be a jacket potato(s) and a tin of tuna.

A dinner might be a reasonable portion of chicken in a veg stir fry. Or a chicken curry.

For snacks I will typically consume a protein shake, ryvita / cottage cheese and tins of sardines.

If you are hungry then for goodness sake eat but do not binge.

Sound hard? Well yes. It is hard. It takes a strong mind (and a strong sex drive) to maintain such a routine. Are you game?

Edit - I almost forgot, I lose around 2 pounds a week, sometimes 1. I am 6"1 and currently weight 12 stone 2 pounds. My aim is to reach an ultra light 11 stone 7 pounds then gain weight to 13 stone 7 pounds.

Aim to lose no more than 2 pounds a week. For two stone, thats 14 weeks, or three months.

I'm 14 stone and 4 pounds, I'm 6ft1 and a half, according to the NHS BMI thing, I'm overweight, and when looking at my belly, i would agree.

How quickly do you think i can loose weight? I reckon if i lost 2 stone in a month that would be good. I can't be bothered to exercise, so I've decided to not have breakfast, only have a sandwich for lunch, have my normal dinner, but no dessert, and also no snacks every time i walk downstairs. Do you reckon this as well as only having beer on a Friday and Saturday night should make me loose 2 stone in 1 month?

no exercise, beer still allowed on friday and saturday night? what effort are you actually making to lose fat?

2 stone in 1 month, that is 1 pound a day. you deserve to be the fat person you are.

holy ****, a snack every time you go downstairs, GET SOME SELF CONTROL!

calories are calories, it doesn't matter where they come from (carbohydrates/fats/protein), if you eat in excess, whatever doesn't get burned throughout the day will be stored as fat.

Look into foods that offer a larger helping with less calories like your veg. Stay clear of junk food and soda. Diet is ok.

tbh it sounds like you eat more than me anyway!
 
I lost 6 stone in 18 months, That was 18 months ago and i have no trouble keeping it off. If you loose it too fast you will find yourself putting it on very quickly and possibly yo yo dieting, this is no only bad for you, but also a waste of time as you effectively need two plus sets of clothes.

You need to get in the habit of not driking fizzy drinks and sweets and if you do some exercise all the better, although i didn't do anything on top of walking.

i am 6'1'' and 10.5 stone.
