You will need to burn off about 60,000 calories to lose 8 kilograms. Judging by your height and weight details (providing that they are metric and not imperial) you are just within your healthy weight range according to your BMI. You can afford to lose the 8 kilos, but that is as much weight as you should aim to lose. Any more than this and you would begin to become unhealthy from being underweight.\n\nIn order to lose the weight, your calories from food should be less than the calories you use up with your daily exercise. Try to count the calories in the food you eat regularly to get an idea of how many calories you eat daily. You should be consuming about 2,000 - 2,200 calories a day. Most of these will be used up by your body without doing any exercise at all. You heart, lungs, eyes and all the other organs in your body use calories to do the work they do. The remainder is used up with voluntary actions such as walking, running, or any other form of exercise.\n\nTry to eat more carbohydrates and more vegetables. Eat some more fruit and drink about 2 litres of water a day. Avoid foods that are rich in fat as they provide the most amount of calories per gram. Eat about 6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 large ones, this will increase your metabolism over time. Make sure you do resistance training as this will increase your ability to burn calories. The more lean muscle mass you have the more calories you can burn. Finally, set a realistic goal for losing the weight. Aim to lose about a 1/2 - 1 kilo every 10 days if you are eating right and doing some exercise. Please note that the less weight you have to lose, the slower the process is so don't be disheartened if the progress is slow. I hope this helps.

Well, i think you do. It isnt good for your body to have only 400 to 500 calories a day. that should be like in a meal! So, you should'nt be afraid to eat. Eat what you want, excersie. Dont work yourself so hard though.

What you might like to do since you lost 16 pounds is you might like to go on a 1200 calorie diet and loose 2 lbs a week at a save rate.   There is a diet that calls for 1600 calories.  400 meat  400 vegetables 400 calories fruit and 400 condements or somes times other stuff.  Stay away from sugar and use sweet and low.best.  What ever you decide to do do it healthy and not fast as you will only gain it back later.  weight is a life style for ever.  get to your weight you want and try to keep it there .  Suger is a bad thing.   Priscilla  Ps I think 130 would be better for you. Make your decision in the reality phase not what friends say or do.

OK, if you were to just eat your choice of calories up to 1200 you need to consider some things. Yes, you will lose weight, but you may gain body fat. \n\nTake pies for example. They contain about 400 calories. You could eat 3 pies per day and be within 1200 calories. But, what you need to consider is that there is about 30g of fat in each pie so you will be consuming 90g fat. Carbs is about 120g, protein is 60g. In all you can't get all your nutrients so it's not a great diet. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I can give u a one week  Diet Schedule, which i've tried myself and lost 5.0kgs at the end of the week. Actually, by following this schedule one can loose upto 7.5 kgs in a week. One can repeat this schedule as many times as desired without side effects, 'coz it is based naturally and contains "no" artificial ingredients and pills.\n\nDay 1 : All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the\nfruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons\nthe first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit\nconsumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are\nvery good.  \n\nDay 2 : All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed \nwith all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit\non the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will \nstart day two with a large baked potato for breakfast.\nYou may top the potato with one pat of butter. \n\nDay 3 : A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount,\nany quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today. \n\nDay 4 :  Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas\nand drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special\nsoup, which may be eaten in limited quantities. \n\nDay 5 : Today is feast day. You will eat mutton and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. \nportions of lean mutton. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes.\nOn day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is\nto cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. \n\nDay 6 : Mutton and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of \nMutton and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content. \n\nDay 7 : Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices\nand all the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be\n4.5-7.7 kgs lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss,\nrepeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like,\nhowever, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in\naddition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne\nfor white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic\nbeverages with the exception of beer, which is allowed. Any liquor \n(bourbon,vodka,rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. \nYou may have an occasional cordial such as crème de menthe or schnapps,\nbut you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only\nwines that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol\nadds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will \nhelp your digestion and settle your stomach. \n\nBeverages you may consume while on the program: \n1. Water (flavored with lemon/lime if desired). \n2. Club Soda is OK. \n3. Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness. \n4. Black Tea = Herb or Leaf. \n5. Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices, which are part of day\nseven. No fruit juices before day seven.

excersise go for a walk.and you should try a few veggies theyre good.just start with broccoli and cauliflower with ranch(not  so healthy but you get a taste for it)baby carrots are good.if you have a deficet of 500 calories every week you should lose about 2 lbs a week,any thing more is kind of unhealthy.and have patience and keep to whatever excercises you are doing.the weight didnt go on overnight,dont expect to lose it that fast.

If you can burn about 500 calories per day (and don't eat more to compensate), you can lose 1 pound per week.

It sounds like you're pretty active.  As long as you eat more than just junk food, you should be fine.  Though I'm sure your fitness would improve if you cut down on it as much as you can.

No, that is not a sustainable diet.\n\nYou need to cut your calories to 1000-1200 per day, and exercise 1/2 hr - 1 hr/day.  That is a regimen you can stick to without making yourself sick.\n\nYou should not lose more than 1-2 pounds per week.

it depends how large you currently are. if your 600lbs, very minimal excersice and minimal calorie reductions would create great weight loss.\n\nbut if your 5-5, 145. 200 calories isnt enough, unless you stepped up your work our routine, like started runnning 3 miles a day.

NO.  You should not lose more than 1-2 lbs per WEEK if you want to stay healthy.  It sounds like you should see your doctor and ask him/her for a referral to a good nutritionist who can help you learn how to eat healthy.  And you need to exercise too.
