How can I lose 10 pounds in 1 month?????

This is my theory and this is what works for me. Everyone is different so it may need to be adjusted to your own personal needs.

Energy In/Energy Out

Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day

One Pound equals 3,500 Calories

To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat

1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn

You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.

Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.

Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.

I, myself, have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. And that is just my current progress. I have used this method previously after childbirth and have gone from 168 to 127 pounds with in two months.

I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply using a stationary bike while playing xbox. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.

Water Intake/Less Storage

Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Good Food

My favorite things to eat:

Avocado Wraps

Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.

Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.

First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.

Lean Cuisines

Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.

It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.

Fruits and Veggies

All you want on the schedule listed below.

Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.

Vitamins

My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake.

WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.

_____

Soda/Carbonation

Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need.

So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

Your Body

Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.

What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way.

Walking Buddy

This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

I'm sorry if what I'm about to say doesn't make you happy, but I am going to be brutally honest with you.

It is extremely dangerous to force your body to lose 10 pounds of fat in just one month, I cannot even begin to explain how unsafe it is to try and lose 20 pounds in that space of time.

In general, the human body can lose 1 pound of fat per week safely. So, you have to temper your expectations. Aim to lose 20 pounds by the start of next summer (just in time for bikini season!) rather than putting yourself in danger by rushing it now.

Seeing as Christmas is only a month away, I'm assuming that you have looked in the mirror and thought "Oh god! All the family are coming over in a month, and I want to look great!". Alot of people think like this, which is why cheap diet products will be very popular on TV shopping channels at the moment.

Here are some tips for you to follow, which will steadily and safely reduce your fat and make you a more toned, healthy, beautiful woman:

Eat around 5 small meals a day. Never starve yourself. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snacking in between, switch to a routine where you eat a proper meal every 3-4 hours. These meals should obviously be smaller than normal because you are eating them at more regual intervals. This constant supply of food will keep your metabolism burning, and help promote fat burning.

Cut out all Junk Food. Avoid sugary foods like cakes, pastries, jams, fizzy drinks, chocolate bars. These are all loaded with cheap sugar, and even if the package says they contain no fat, they will over time cause your body to store more.

Eat natural unprocessed foods.

Raw nuts, wholegrain breads and pasta (instead of white bread/pasta which has had the whole grains removed), lean meats like chicken. Eat pure natural butter rather than the "loe fat" spreads for examples. All those spreads were created in a laboratory, the human body was not designed to ingest them! Nature knows best!

Best of luck!

You can very well lose 10 pounds in one month, but you would need to cut back your calorie intake and excersice more. Try a 1500 calorie diet and 30 mins a day of treadmill.

Hey Johnny, if you are an athlete then you should also know that usually a person can lose 5lbs easy as just "fluid" most women carry 5lbs around and it's "water weight".

So I agree with DR who told you to cleanse your body, get yourself an "Enema" at CVS or RiteAid that'll drop you 5 to 7 easy, cut the sugar out and exercise just by power walking 3 to 4xs a wk 45 minutes each time. You should easily lose what you are looking to lose in a MONTH.

I can't believe Johnny boy telling people it's highly risky anyone trying to lose 10lbs in a MONTH???? I can drop 12lbs in 2 wks time, just by going to the bathroom correctly. Most people walk around constipated, a subject most people don't like to talk about, and most "women" in general retain alot of water weight.

Oh and poster if you can get ahold of any "human growth hormones" that are the REAL DEAL from a legit source, honey that would knock your weight down quick. The "fountain of youth", I know Professional Body builders who take that as well as their wives who don't do body building and have explained it to me. I thought it sounded too good to be true, I went on the net, couldn't find anything BAD out there about it, noone could say anything bad except if you were not getting the legit hormones!!! You can't inject too many, but if injected properly apparently it works.

lol- 10 lbs isn't too bad...but won't be easy...you're picking the worst time to lose weight...Christmas! ahhh

Cut back the calories..BIG TIME..and exercise at least 30-45 minutes a day.

Walking is good..but I would do some good jogging or running for 20- and then walk for another hour after that..if you have time.

If you're in front of the TV its great- you'll distract yourself!

High cardio is good...burns lots of calories...but walking is great too..burns fat!

When I began, my blood stress used to be 157/ninety four, and I used to be scared, considering that I knew that I used to be heading immediately for high blood pressure, remedy and potentially, an early stroke or center assault. My blood stress used to be in a healthful variety inside 2 months of following Eat To Live and Eat For Health. I used to be additionally a borderline sort II diabetic, and that quantity has long past down additionally. My triglycerides had been 203 and inside one month that they had dropped to one zero one.

Aside from following the advice of person #1, a thing you can do is cut sugar from your beverages.

- do not drink regular soda or juices... try the lower calorie juices and switch to water or flavored water that has less calories. Diet soda is just as bad for you as regular soda.

- try coffee before a workout... it really helps sort of push you along, especially if you're not used to working out that much.

Good luck!
