You don't, at least not in a healthy manner. The reccommendation is to loose 1-2 pounds a week to sustain the weight loss and remain healthy.

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's really not healthy to lose a lot of pounds quickly.  Your best bet to lose weight & keep it off is to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.  Doing regular aerobic exercise and weight training along with eating a sensible low fat (lots of fruits & vegetables) diet will get you on your way.

It's the age-old technique of eating right and exercising more!  It is safe to lose up to 2 pounds a week.  Each pound you lose is approximately equal to 3500 calories.  \n\nSo to lose 1 pound a week healthily, you'd need to cut back on the calories you take in and burn more than you usually would.  \n\nTo calculate how much you need to eat a day and how much you need to burn to lose that pound, you need to figure out you Basal Metabolic Rate.  You can do all this here:  \n\nhttp://soyouwanna.com/site/syws/loseweight/loseweight.html\n\nSoyouwanna.com gives a lot of tips for basically everything you'd want to do.  Good Luck and don't overdo anything.

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.

I have come across a safe and healthy way to lose weight recently. it uses health to help your body rid its self of excess weight from unhealthy fat and other fillers. I have already lost three pounds and half of an inch in a week. it also is great because once you reach you goal you move to phase to which helps you to maintain your healthy weight indefinitely. email me for more info or visit www.meltweightaway.com good luck! :)

Yes you can. Some people want to know how much weight per week is safe to lose. Others want to know how much weight they will lose sticking to a certain program. There are lots of people who repeat what they have heard but no reliable sources say that only a certain amount is safe to lose. You can drink too much water, eat too much, exercise too much and fast too long (an MD fasted a fat guy for 8 months and he died). But you can not sleep too much!  Why? Because you do not control how much you get only how little you get. You cannot force yourself to sleep if you do not need it.\n\nSo you do not choose how quickly you lose weight. Your body decides that. So only your body knows how much you will lose. It will only allow you to lose what is safe. One guy under an MD's care lost 180 pounds in a year fasting on weekends. So some lose quickly on a bad weight loss plan  and others lose slowly on a great weight loss plan. Make sure to eat foods with nutrients for skin, like omega-3 fatty acids, to avoid loose skin, when you lose weight.\n\nDiets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.\n\nBut wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you  know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.\n\nSo it is natural  to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.\n\nhttp://www.phifoundation.org

The only safe amount of weight to loose is no more then 1-2 pounds per week.Anything quicker is water weight and will be quickly regained,its also detrimental to your metabolic rate and will make your immune system and everything crash!U dont want ur body to start breaking down muscle! eat a balanced put portion controlled diet and exercise.

Proper diet and exercise can yield an average weight loss of about 2 pounds per week.   Much more than that is not recommeded or safe.

yea, that sounds reasonable. \nthe body can compensate up to 1-2 lbs per week max...anymore and your body would be struggling\nbut 6 lbs in 1.5 months is great progress--think about it--its 1 lb a week average...\ngood job

A week is not long enough to see results.  You need to carry on and keep enjoying your new lifestyle.  It has taken years to put on the weight so at least give it a few months to take it off again.  I think they say to aim for a pound a week to be healthy.  Also remember that muscle weighs more than fat so be prepared for some weeks to go up again and don't get discouraged, keep going.

I guess it's possible.  If one lost 5 lbs a week (which is easy to do when you are that much over weight), that would be 60 lbs.  And weight melts off quickly when you are that heavy and you try hard, so yeah.  I can see it.

You definitely don't want to do it fast.  1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended by a doctor.  If you lose more than that, you are prone to problems, and also, what many people don't know is that, if you lose weight too quickly, it actually ages you.  I know a guy who dropped like 30 pounds in a month, and he looks terrible.  He aged like 20 years.  Do it the right way.  You'll feel better too.
