Losing 2 lbs. a week is really hard to do. But there is only one way to lose fat: You have to eat less than you burn.\n\nA pound of fat = 3,500 calories. So to burn a pound of fat you have to burn 3500 cals above and beyond what you're eating. \n\nTo lose a pound of fat a week, you need to burn 500 cals a day (above and beyond what you are eating.) To lose 2 lbs of fat a week, you'd have to burn 1000 cals a day. It can happen, it's just really hard to do.\n\nRemember that you don't want to starve yourself. If you don't eat enough calories your metabolism will slow and your body will start to break down muscle. You may lose weigtht this way, but you will lose lean weight as well as fat weight. It's not very healthy!\n\nSo, To answer your question depends on your resting metabolic rate. roughly 1500/day for women and 2000/day for men. This is your bear minimum for the day... you shouldn't eat less than that. Then up your exercise and you're off toward weight loss!!!

you should try to lose 1-2 pounds a week\n\njust reduce your calories and increase exercise....make sure you are doing strength training, so the weight you lose will not be muscle

Exercise every day, even if it's just a walk. Go on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Eat fish, eggs, chicken, occasional lean beef or pork, low fat cottage cheese. Stay away from regular cheese, no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, peas, beans (except green beans). No more than one piece of fruit a day and no fruit juice (it's sugar water, my dr says). Cut down on carrots and tomatoes (included ketchup). Use mustard instead of mayonnaise in recipes. Eat lots of salads, green vegetables. Salads only have one tablespoon of dressing for the whole salad. No ice cream, or other desserts.

maybe 1000-1200 calories a day, no carbs, lots of water.\n\nrun at least 4-5 miles per day.

get hooked to crack...just kidding..10 lbs in 2 weeks is too much...i can't advise that...but to lose 1 lb a week all you have to do is eat 500 calories less a day...3500 Kcal for the week...or increase energy output (exercise) by burning off an extra 500 calories a day...

Eliminate all refined sugars and make sure your carbs are whole wheat, veggies and fruits.  Cut down on starches if you are trying to lose weight.  \nMake sure you get enough protein.\n\nWork your way up to running about 1 hr/day if your knees and hips can stand it.

Ideally, nothing, for a short morning jog: you'll start burning fat nearly immediately. If you are running two or three miles, quick sugar food like bananas will prevent you from cramping down/fainting, if that happens to you. If you run long distance, pasta or other slow-release sugars are best.\n\nThe links offer various options, depending on your metabolism and preference:

Run or other cardio and eat right. Eat enough, but no junk.

Depends on your age, gender and personal and family health history.  Cut back at least 500 calories a day from what you are eating now and add some exercise.  One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so in 7 days, you'll lose 1 lb, just by eating less.  If you add exercise on top of that, you should be able to lose up to 3 lbs or so a week.

Eat only 3 times a day and exercise.\n\nBreakfast - 2 or 3 eggs, a slice of bread and 1 serving of fruit or fruit juice.\nLunch- a large piece of chicken or fish (not fried), 1 red skinned potato the size of your fist, and some vegetables.\nDinner- a large piece of chicken or fish (not fried) and vegetables.\n\nDon't put butter or anything greasy on any of it.  For the first week you won't see anything happening, but after ten days to two weeks you will see the pounds starting to tumble.  Also make sure you are taking your vitamins and minerals.

the most you should lose a week is 2 lbs unless you're really overweight. \n\neat healthy foods, exercise, control portions of foods, don't deprive yourself of your favorite food.

It is possible to not eat enough to keep your metabolism functioning without a thyroid problem.  Try increasing calories at meal time and add a small nutritious snack between meals.  If your running three miles a day you need calories to burn.

lol. thats easy. buy a treadmill and walk/jog 2 to 4 miles  every weekend. or you can walk/jog 2 to 4 miles every weekend outside. outside will be harder so i suggest running on a treadmill for a month or so just to get the feel for it. eating is equally important if not most. try to eat things with lots of protein. Protein is essential for weight loss. be sure not to eat really fatty foods like McD or anything. Protein will fill you up so you arent as hungry during the day. But be sure not to starve yourself either!!!

There is no quick if you want healthy.  if you loose more than 2-3 lbs a week you are loosing unhealthy weight.  Usually just water, or muscle.  The only way to loose weight is to use more than you eat.  Yep, that means you gotta exercise.  Even if its walking instead of driving to the corner store, it adds up.  Try to stick with a balanced diet.  It's kinda hard trying to loose weight, but I'd recomend sticking with carbs.  Less fat and health risks.  That adkins thing, I'm iffy on.  Plus carbs help you feel full better than protein.  If you got a sweet tooth, try fruit.  It's sweet enough to curb a lot of cravings and low in calories.  A web search will get you a nutrition guide to the best fruits to eat.  Most are less than 100 calories so you can eat a lot.  And watch what you drink.  Sodas and juices have a lot of calories.  If you can cut that out, you might be able to make the calorie deficit you need.  That's all it takes for me.  Water gets boring fast, but there is a lot of 10 cal. mixes at the grocery store to give you flavor with out adding the other 160 calories.  Good luck.

I lost forty pounds ("40") on this.  Count your calories - EVERY SINGLE ONE.   First two weeks do not exceed 1200 calories in a day (just FYI i'm 6'2" and weighed 240) so thats not much.  3rd week kick in exercising and bump it to a mind blowing 1500 calories.  Then increase exercising and maintain the 1500 calories for next 4 weeks.  You will lose weight like you have never imagined.  \n\nTwo keys:\n1. Saturday Free Day - after two weeks I began taking Saturdays off calling it a "no count" day and would eat whatever I wanted.  It worked.\n\n2. Exercise - I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH...if you start exercising running 2-3 miles a day on the tread mill you can get your eating up.\n\nKEY:\nIf you don't exercise you will be caught in the diet trap.  Meaning you will ALWAYS be fighting the diet trap.  Lose weight gain weight, etc.\n\nBut, if you can run at least 10 miles a week (thats 2 miles 5x a week) and 4 days a week keep your calories under 2000 (thats pretty good) you will live a great life.
