no way love can you loose 40lbs you would die gods honest truth even if for the next 4 weeks you ate nothing and exercised 4 10 hours a day you would not loose 40lbs 15 lbs you could do. 1000 calorie diet plan breakfast: an apple and a clery stick lunch: 1 palm size chicken breast with cabbage tea: weetabix with soya milk. and do 1 hour of running a day with ur mp3 player on. and when u are at home go in the kitchen with ur ipod and do a little dace for about20min. u could loose about 16-20 lbs doing that fetch-@live.co.uk email me and tell me how you are doing plzz hope u do well hunny xxxx
Okay look first start eating more healthy foods and start drinking lots of green tea and also, excersise. that should (should nawt postive) make you lose at least 20-25 pounds every two weeks welcome
Hi, I'm sorry to tell you this but there's no way to lose 40 pounds in 4 weeks...I know, I've tried it! There's a way to lose 5 pounds fast though and if you do it over and over again, you might be able to lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks and that's better than nothing, right? Here's the way to do it...http://www.healthy-living-for-moms.com/lose_5_pounds_fast.html . This is a pretty healthy plan, too, if you do it right. You should probably check with your doctor, though, before starting any weight loss plan. Good luck and congratulations on your graduation! Healthy Mom
Losing 40 pounds in 4 weeks is not healthy. All I can say is to start restricting the number of calories you are eating, but not by too much. Reduce the simple carbs you are eating (sugary stuff) and rather eat complex carbs like grains. But you don't want to eat too many carbs. Also, consume a good amount of protein and hit the gym at least 3 times a week and do some aerobic workouts. For any good weight loss plan, you have to give your 100% that you will stick through it and not cheat. Don't expect huge results quickly, but stay consistent and you should lose pounds and become healthier and fit.
You cannot safely lose that much weight in 4 weeks. Attempting to do that might prevent you from attending your graduation, or even kill you. Just get a dress that de-emphasizes your weight as you are now, and keep focused on your goal for the future. The best way to lose weight is the same way you gained it - GRADUALLY. It was a lifestyle abberation that put you at that weight, and it will take a similar, but opposite lifestyle twist to bring you down from it. It's not too late, so don't give up!
3 oz of protein (chicken, fish, etc.) and green vegetables and fruits as well as green leafy salads with tomatoes and other things that you put in salads. No store dressings. Just a light sprinkling of oil and vinegar, or just lemon juice, or just tomato juice. Drink water with fresh lemon squeezed in it. 40 pounds is a lot, but with exercise every day. 15 minutes three times a day, at least, there is a possibility you may come close to it. Going to Weight Watchers is good too.
You may not lose 40 pounds in 4 weeks, but if you follow this advice, you will lose a significant amount of weight. Your eating habits need to change. I'm 5'4", 30 yrs old 115 pounds, and used to weigh 145 pounds 2 years ago (I was 28), this is what I did: Nix the fad diets and change your eating habits. No pill will work, because you will eventually put the weight back on. Neither will a magic tea, because again, you will put the weight back on. Go back to eating the way eating was before our society had frozen food, processed food and fast food-we had whole foods, natural foods, organic foods. http://www.westonaprice.org has a lot of helpful articles on what this means. They're a nonprofit dedicated to re-educating America on what is healthy. Now, the good stuff: I lost 30 pounds 2 years ago, and have maintained this loss by eating this way. I lost 7 pounds the first week, 5 the second week, 3 the following week and a pound a week until I reached my goal weight. I didn't die, I didn't get sick, the unhealthy weight just dropped off. I eat eggs every day for breakfast (2 eggs, with the yolk)-my cholesterol is perfect, and so are the rest of our clients who eat eggs. I eat breakfast meat with my eggs on the weekends. Please note that I eat cage-free organic eggs or eggs from a local farm. For lunch I eat either a salad (no croutons), or tuna salad, chicken salad, seafood salad, etc. The key to this is make sure it's made with REAL mayonnaise. Or a viniagrette dressing for the green salad. For dinner I eat a protein (steak, chicken, fish) prepared any way I like, except fried, with a vegetable and a salad or 2 servings of veggies. Veggies are essential, but do not have to be the central focus of your diet. If you're serious about losing weight, stay away from fruit, except for strawberries, blackberries & raspberries. Fruit has way too much sugar in it for you to eat. Once you reach your goal, you can add fruit back in, with sensible portions. Stay away from potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, sugar and corn. Excellent sugar substitutes are Stevia (an all natural sweetener-use sparingly because it's really strong) or raw sugar cane (brown kind like at Starbucks). Beverages I drink are coffee, green tea and organic juices (sparingly). I've included helpful links to organzations that talk about eating whole foods, natural foods, the way we used to eat before everything had MSG in it. I hope they help you! They helped me lose & keep off the 30 pounds!! The diet is called The Liberation Diet because it liberates you from all of the misinformation that is out there and educates you on what is really healthy, eating whole foods like our ancestors ate years ago before processed food became the standard norm. Many of other clients have lost and kept off 75+ pounds! In addition, as far as exercise, do at least a half hour of cardio a day. Do some strength training with weights to tone up as you're losing the weight. If you follow this diet, you WILL lose weight and keep it off!
