run for a mile

if i do this everyday how long will it take me to lose 5 lbs.

Answer 1

600 calories is probably too low .. depending on your height, age, etc.

Usually it's safe to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.

Answer 2

Not very long, about a few days probably.

Especially because you're only eating about 250 cal. every meal then running it off. Goodluck.

Answer 3

watching what you eat is a sh*tty way of living. i eat what ever the f*ck i want and still maintain my weight. i could lose 8 lbs in 1 hr. how? easy..... running.

i think it'll take you 2 1/2 weeks to lose 5 lbs.

Answer 4

with that kind of diet maybe a week or so since your eating so little calories. Its not healthy though and your making your matabolism run slower which means when you stop this diet and start eating properly again it will take longer for you to burn off the food.

Answer 5

Why would you hurry about 5 lb ? Take your time it should take 2-3 weeks by gently treating yourself to more exercise and less food.  

Answer 6

Well, first I recommend you study up on the proper way to eat. nutrition is the key to losing weight and keeping it off.

Eating by calories is bad, they way I suggest, rather... eat healthy foods, but only eat until you no longer feel hungry. Its 100% ok to eat 4-5 meals daily, in fact, its GOOD to do so!

Second best guess is cardio, I'm hoping you 20 minute workouts as including running or walking, or biking (or other variation of cardio).

However, doing so many small workouts isn't necessary good earthier, take one workout and work maybe 45 minutes, or until your really tiered. This will bring you results the healthy way, and will tone you and make you feel allot better in the long run.

Last thing, 5lbs isn't exactly allot of weight, anyone could lose 5 pounds on the scale just from not eating anything with salt in their diet!

With proper diet and excersize, losing 5lbs of body fat may take 2-3 weeks if done right.

Good luck in any case!
