How can I lose 50 pounds in 2 or 3 months?

Question

I don't care if it's not healthy. I'm 5'8 and 180 lbs, and i really want to lose weight. I've been eating healthy and exercising for the past month, but i haven't lost any weight. Please help!!

Answer 1

Sine you don't care about healthy Start smoking ciggarettes, take diet pills, drink 10 cups of coffee a day, run 10 miles, don't eat all day, if you do eat throw it up, snort cocaine. And continue to exercise.

Answer 2

well, you're obviously not using the weight between your ears if you want to lose that much that fast

Use your head

It did NOT go on overnight and it wont come off overnight...and no one else is to blame but yourself for your own eating habits up until this point, your only redeeming quality is that you want to change

there is NO easy solution

1:: ALWAYS EAT A HEALTHY BREAKFAST...I can't emphasize this enough...this does not include a muffin and coffee...this means something along the lines of oatmeal or eggs or cottage cheese...you can't possibly use the excuse that you have no time...it takes roughly 10-15 minutes to prepare a meal, eat it and brush your teeth, get up earlier

2: Cut out ALL cabonated beverages, this includes the diet ones...THEY AREN'T GOOD FOR YOU..they're actually worse than the regular ones

3: if you drink coffee, drink it black

4: EAT vegetables

5: Eat 5-6 meals a day, eating every 3-4 hours....eating 3 smaller and 3 larger meals...the larger meals being healthy and an example of a smaller one being an apple.

6:Another thing to keep in mind? Eat something after supper...I know idiots say that you shouldn't eat after 7 (or whatever time) buuuut they're idiots...if you dont eat, the body devours the higher energy muscle and leaves the fat...making sure you have that small meal, will keep your metabolism up

7: Exercise 4-5 times a week, this does not mean exercise where you can exercise and talk to a friend/read a book at the same time

Your workouts should last a MAXIMUM of 40 minutes, You should also be pushing yourself, I'm not going to get into exercise as I dont know how much experience you have and I dont want to see you get hurt

It's not healthy and you'll regret it when your done and have a lot of excess skin instead. If you have 50 pounds to lose then it can be done safely in 5-6 months. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run. Being a little chubby for an extra 2 months is better than having loose skin the rest of your life.

First off if your diet didnt work then you need to look at it. As for exercise research High intensity interval training and work up to doing it 3 - 4 time a weeks. Resistance training will do wonders for you as well.

Your diet is completely individual. I find cutting my carbs down to 60 -100g a day helps with weight loss. Avoid sugars 4 hours before you sleep. Rememeber to decrease your calories slowly. If you cut them straight from 2000 to 1000 (just an example) you will slow your progress because your body will slow down your metabolism in response. Also when dieting protein is your friend and good fats are ideal.

So you want to lose fat, do you?

Note the semantic difference there – you want to lose fat, not weight. Weight is a combination of a bunch of different things, most of which are very beneficial to keep around (muscle, bones, blood – you know, the good stuff). You want to lose fat, so keep that in mind.

Surprisingly enough, it’s not that hard – from a ‘What-to-do’ point of view, that is. The actual mechanics of fat loss are easy, and will end up making you feel a lot better than any pile of junk food ever did. The real test, of course, comes down to willpower and the desire to actually put the work in to get the results.

Will it happen quickly? No. Will it be as easy as 20 minutes three times a week? No. Can I buy the fat-loss for 3 easy payments of $19.95? Not a chance.

Losing fat requires time, patience, and forethought. If that’s too much for you to deal with, then you might as well stop reading now.

1. Calories

You’ve kept reading, which means that you’re my kind of person. So let’s talk numbers.

First thing first – how much fat do you want to lose? If the number is bigger than 2lbs/week, then go back to the part about time, patience and forethought, and begin again. Trying to lose any more than 2lbs/week (without the use of pretty strong supplements/steroids) will result in either a)muscle loss (which is bad), b)a lowering of your body’s metabolic rate (which is bad), or c)both (which is really bad). If you’re starting from a big number (ie. your bodyfat percentage is above 15% and you need to lose a lot of fat) then 2 lbs a week is a good number to start from. Aiming for more will do the above (the bad stuff above). As your bodyfat % lowers and your weight gets lower, you’ll want to aim for smaller increments per week; it gets harder to lose fat the less you have.

You see, your body doesn’t want to give up the fat it’s got. Call your body crazy, but it has knowledge ingrained from a few millennia ago, when food was scarce and being fat and strong was a good way to ensure surviving both a saber-tooth tiger attack and a long cold winter without much food. With that in mind, the lower your bodyfat %, the more your body starts to rebel against your fat-loss goals.

Now that you’ve got that number in mind, let’s talk about calories.

For starters, the obvious qualifier. No method is exact. They’re not going to describe the exact number of calories that your body needs to take in. What the following is a good starting point. We’ll get to how to fine tune it shortly.

The bottom line of fat loss is that calories in and calories out are the single over-riding factor. If you aren’t burning more calories per day than you’re taking in, then (barring exceptional genetics) you won’t lose much fat. After you get the nutritional part of the equation squared away, there are lots of neat things the body does that work in conjunction with the calories in vs. calories out principle, but the first thing to consider is still your daily caloric intake. There are a couple of ways to calculate your required daily intake; some are complicated, some are not.

We’ll start with the semi-complicated way (it’s not really complicated, but that’s an often heard excuse when given this method). The Harris Benedict method follows – the HB info is taken from the Clean Eating III thread by karocka.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of calories your body (given normal metabolic conditions) burns in a day, given that you do nothing more than exist. No eating, no walking, no getting out of bed. These are your ‘existence’ calories. To calculate your BMR, use these formulas:

Men BMR = 66 + (6.3 x Body Weight in lbs) + (12.9 x Height in inches) - (6.8 x age)

Women BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kilos) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age)

Now that you’ve got your BMR, you’ve got a good starting point for how your body (at your current weight) burns calories. Now it’s time to use that information and figure out how many calories you burn during a normal day. You know, when you crawl out of bed and actually do something. Take the BMR, and multiply it by the Activity Multiplier below that best describes your average day:

Activity Multiplier

Sedentary = 1.2 (little exercise, desk job)

Light Activity = 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)

Moderate Activity = 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)

Very Active = 1.725 (heavy exercise/sports 6-7 days/week)

Extreme Activity = 1.9 (heavy exercise/sports, physically demanding job)

Now, if you’re trying to decide where you fall – say you’re thinking you may be between light and moderate activity – then pick a number in b

Answer 7

So, you want to lose 50 lbs. the unhealthy way (there's no healthy way to do it that quickly), and then you want to turn around and gain those 50 lbs. back and possibly a lot more?? That sounds like a terrific plan! I'm sure whatever dress, swimsuit, or family reunion you have planned is well worth wreaking havoc on your body.

Like the first answer said, starve yourself, snort coke. Good luck.

If you really want to lose weight and keep it off, you have to understand that it's going to take time and dedication. You should only try to lose 1-2 lbs. per week at the most, and you have to just stick with it. If you've really been eating healthy and exercising, I'm surprised you haven't lost any weight, but sometimes it just takes a little more time than that.

drink nothing but water

Answer 9

Answer 10

I'm 5'8 and would KILL to be 180 pounds. Quit complaining. Keep doing what you're doing. Just because you don't notice a difference doesn't mean that there isn't one.
