Is it possible to lose a stone in a week ?

Question

if you eat about 500 calories a day?

Answer 1

nope,you will probably gain weight in the first week and then begin to lose weight.

Answer 2

That is an unrealistic goal to achieve. In order to lose weight safely you should aim to lose about 2lbs a week. Losing a stone in a week is very bad for your health.

Answer 3

your body will go into starvation mode and start storing everything as fat. so any weight you lose will come back on. for a workable diet -

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent  carb. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category. 25  per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. have a protein shake too, if you want. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is  permanent loss.  pick an exercise regime you like.  

get a pedometer and  try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

Answer 4

How many pounds in a stone?  I'm betting that your goal is pretty unrealistic.

Answer 5

No, you will gain weight.  

Answer 6

Not only are you not going to lose a stone in a week, but any weight you do lose is going to come bouncing back. In fact you have a 2 in 3 chance that you will overshoot and end up heavier!

Weight loss, toning and fitness just can't happen without willpower and commitment it seems!

The problem with your question is that if you look in "search for questions" it comes up 30 times every day. I have had some criticism for repeatedly using the same answer, but since I am happy with my answer, and the questions are the same, I don't see the issue with recycling the same answer.

In practise for problems that came up on a regular basis we tended to use patient leaflets to avoid having to repeat ourselves this seemed a sensible use of resources. What follows is thus in effect me information leaflet.

Weight loss and fitness is always a long term commitment and never a quick fix. If you really want to reduce your weight a bit, this is a complex regime, that should help, I would get a pencil to write it down, in case you forget any of the intricate details.

Currently only using the criteria 'lose weight' there are 9,419 questions and answers on Answers already. Mis-spell it as 'loose weight' and you get another 2,633! 'Weight loss' will add another 1,883. 'Too fat ' 15,515 and 'overweight' 2,692 and 'over weight' 26,269!!!!!.

'Diet Pills' gives 607, Green tea 482, Hoodia 195, 'pink patch' 119, 'Xenical' 91 'Reductil' 78, 'Slim fast' 215 (and Slimfast 69 ), lipotrim 44 and 'orlistat' 40 . Do you spot a pattern here? OMG that is 60,000 questions with the same basic theme, wanting to lose weight!

Here comes the only answer, no tricks, no pills, no short cuts, If you really want to lose weight, loose weight, not be too fat or overweight, follow these instructions carefully:-

1) Eat less

2) Take regular vigorous exercise

Repeat 1 + 2 forever

Answer 7

yes, emphasise more on the excercise than the lack of eating though. excercise all day without sitting down or resting and it will drop off.

Answer 8

eating 500 kcals a day you will loose weight quickly but the first 5lb is just water as the body will burn up carcohydrate stores first, any other weigt lost after that will be muscle not fat.

You must loose weight slowly in order to keep it off.  About 2lb a week and no more.

Answer 9

if you do lots of training in the first week, u will gain but the second week you will start to get lovely and slim (no offence)

Answer 10

if you starve yourself you will gain lots of weight when you eat again... you can lose a stone in a week if you are seriously ill.. thats about it.

Exercise and eat right, its not rocket science
