Sounds a bit excessive maybe if you starved your self or dehydrated I think 60% of body weight is water. If you want to loose fat that requires not eating much and excercising to speed up the process, fat is the last thing your body burns, it actually begins breaking down muscle tissue to an extent before it begins using fat. Also I remember reading there is a hormone released by adipose cells that signals hunger to your brain, kinda ironic the larger a person is the more their body signals them to eat. Thoes cells don't go away once the weight is gone they are just emptied of the lipids they hold, maybe a reason why so many relapse?

i lost 25 pounds in a month before.

you just have to work out and dont eat very much. and only eat "good" food and only drink water

A pound a day is a lot. Shoot for like 3 a week or so.

The fastest way to drop pounds is cutting out carbs 100%. Working out only adds muscle and all that garbage.

cutting carbs makes your body have to use your stored fat for energy


just dont do it forever

Im loosing about 3 lbs a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.....

I work out 4-5 times a week an hour at a time, 20-25 minutes to weights, 15 reps 2 sets with 15 seconds rest between sets (building fast twitch muscles) for wieghts alternating between upper and lower body by day...
Then 25-28 minutes high intensity cardio....I would say on a scale of 1-10 effort I put in a 7 on the cardio

Ive cut back big time on my eats....I dont eat out at all now....portions are way too big, and I will eat whatever is in front of me. I wake up, eat a bannana/ multi-vitamin then eat a small sandwhich with a vege-paty, then have a typical dinner. I eat fish for dinner at least 2-3 nights a week. I've noticed a big change in my energy level, and I'm not mentally tired when I get home from work anymore. At first it was hell, but now Im seriously addicted to working out, I really feel physically ill if I dont work out now.

Bottom line though is motivation. I got so sick and tired of denying that I was fat, I didnt used to be, but college got to me, and I wasnt nearly as active as I used to be. I also have cancer/heart disease in my family, and my dad just got out of the hospital for colin cancer, that was a wake up call as well. The worst was looking at my wedding photos and not recognizing myself anymore, that is what pissed me off the most. Its hard *** work, and you have to get really pissed to do this

If you do the "Atkins" thing, then buy the book and read it cover to cover. So many people just "cut carbs" without actually realizing how to do it or what it does to their body. Atkins went in stages and for the first two stages anything over like 20grams of carbs (like one slice of bread if I remember), pretty much reset your program back to day one. Their are also vitamin suppliments you must take the first few weeks, outlined in the book, and dont expect to take a ---- for your first week, you get constipated big time, and when you do ---- the smell can melt through steel (that one wasnt in the book).

The other funny thing about the book [Atkins] is after a while you go back to just eating a regular low fat low calorie diet

My mom spent $40K to lose 1.5lbs in less than two hours.

Me? My secret is I'm not a lardass who lays around all the time.
