I have a month to lose 10lbs

I’m thinking of a salad-only diet which I don’t successfully before. Not sure I can lose a full 10 lbs in time with that.

Any other suggestions?

Misty, honey, I think it’s great if you want to lose weight, but you should do it for you, not for some boy you hardly know.

Why do you have just a month to lose 10 lbs, OP?

LOTS of cardio. LOTS of water. LOTS of resistance workouts.

Fasting works faster. That’s how it got its name.

[quote] which I don’t successfully before

And you won't successfully now.

Intermittent fasting and low carb or keto.

If you're fat, you can just eat nothing and your body will live off its fat (drink water and take supplements). But the whole problem is that people CAN'T not-eat, food is addictive.

R4 That's not how it got its name

Maria Osmond swears by The Nutria System.

No bread. No pasta. Drink lots of water. Eat six small meals per day. It worked for me.

Doesn't Marie look like a cheap ho anymore?

I say it with love.

If you want to lose 20 pounds of ugly fat, cut off your head!

It makes me cry to consider all the Marie Osmond baby dolls with their trademark beauty marks buried in some landfill since that venture bit the dust. Remember Richard Simmons dead grandparents figurines?

Pour whole milk instead of half n half on your Honey Nut Cheerios.

Zero carbs, nothing white, sugar, potatoes, rice, bread. You'll do it in 2 weeks.

Do you have access to some E. Coli?

My D’axxyn is allergic to nutria and I can’t have it in the house. Do you think Marie would let me substitute woodchuck, or would I have to find a different system?

PSMF is the way to go. You do not want to lose lean muscle mass, that will lower your metabolic rate and you will pack the weight right back on. Go on daily walks and do bodyweight workouts too, in a month you can do a bit of recomp and that will have a huge impact on how you look.

Antifreeze is your answer, OP. But try not to overdo it.

Good luck, you fat whore!

R19 - is any alcohol allowed?

OP - salad or a clear soup with vegetables and maybe a lean chicken breast at 6. No food after 7 PM.

Alternate day fasting and when you eat do strict 20 carbs a day keto. On eating days only eat one or two meals.

Casually dabbling with meth.

I wish you all the best but I don’t think that’s doable at all. If you want to go for it try a high protein diet like Atkins and lots of water. Try to avoid alcohol and up the walking, aim for 10k a day.

I wish you luck as I think you’re going to be absolutely knackered, slow and steady is usually best when losing weight.

Is that healthy? 3+ lbs per DAY? Be careful, op.

OP, that's the formula. Nothing tricky. Very low carbs, high protein. Keto works. And drink about 70-80 water daily. No alcoholic beverages. No sodas or juices. You can drink water, tea or coffee, and Both. Chicken, vegetable, WTF eve. Stay away from cereals. You can eat one slice of multi grain, whole wheat bread if it's low cal. I use Dave's Killer Bread at 70 calories a slice. If you limit yourself to eggs, fish, and chicken it's better than red meat. For these first weeks avoid rice, potatoes, pasta and red meat. Lean to love carrot and celery sticks. YU can have a bit of hummus. Also avoid fruit. Fruit has tons of calories. So like just go for the Granny Smith apples. Yogurt is good. Go for yogurt. 0% fat. So it's real simple. Chicken, Fish, Veggies, and low amounts of fruit. If you take yourself in hand you can probably drop 8 pounds. Ten would be difficult, but two pounds a week is reasonable.

PS most of what you lose will be water weight, not fat, at first.

Wish you well OP.

Skip breakfast and dinner every other day for the next 4 weeks.

You didn't hear this from me, and if you say I did... I will deny it, but nothing is more effective than starving yourself to death. Honey, those pounds will disappear in no time.

Broth. Chicken or vegetable broth. Forgot to say vey limited amount of cheese. No more than one ounce a day if that.

Ah, sorry. I thought op said 100 lbs in a month. D’oh. Yup. Doable. Cut the carbs and alcohol and have protein and fat. The first two weeks will be hell, but it will get better from there. This website is full of good info + recipes.

Specifically, pressed juice fasting. Have one of those lemon & cayenne drinks every morning.

You didn’t sign it as the Darfur orphan.

The only problem with upping your exercise, is that your appetite will be increased. The best way to overcome that is to up your protein, try drinking low-cal protein shakes every few hours.

I’m going to PTown for my annual visit and I have to shed the 10 lbs I gained during Covid.

Adderal……….you’ll never want to eat again

How about some complicated bullshit diet? You'll take off the pounds fast, I guarantee it!

"Lose up to 10 pounds on my 5 day keto soup diet!"

R47 Sandy Gresham, is that you?

No sugar. No alcohol. Average 10 miles a day in steps and you will meet our goal.

No ranch dressing on your salads, OP.

Have you heard of the words of Gwen Shamblin?

OP, don't ask me. I just got off the scale, lost 6 pounds....so I'm celebrating with pancakes!

Juice twice a day & eat a solid lunch. Ten pounds off in a week. This is a quick weight loss trick - not to be done for too long.

add some beans or lentils to the salad. Drink only water.

Lots of chicken breasts and vegetables.

So much depends on what weight OP is starting out and how obese they are

A 300 lb person can easily lose 10 lbs by cutting back on calories and exercising more.

Someone who weighs 170 lbs at 5'11" and wants to get down to 160 is going to have a hell of a time and need to work much harder.

Why one month, OP? Why don't you spread it over six months? That's more attainable and healthier.

R60, I'm 165 when I should be 155. The one month time frame is for when I'm going to Ptown. I need a good humping. It's been over a year

Assuming you are not a dwarf, OP. that's going to be tough.

Rather than weight, I would look at waist size.

Your weight varies as you age and as you add muscle, but your waist size is good indicator.

Remember too that many DLers are "fit fat" (e.g. about 50 lbs overweight or more) and so their plans for losing 10 lbs are not going to work for you.

Melba toast, cottage cheese, grapefruit and Tab with lemon

Prior to her 1963 variety show, Judy Garland allegedly lived on nothing but tea for 30 days and lost a substantial amount of weight.

R58 here, make those chicken breasts boneless and skinless. Marinate and grill.

No alcohol, period. Don't eat after 6pm. No white bread, rice, pasta, or potatoes, fruits other than citrus/berries, and no soda. No diet sweeteners. Water or mineral water and black coffee/tea only. Lean proteins, no cured meats. Watch the salt like a hawk.

[quote][R58] here, make those chicken breasts boneless and skinless. Marinate and grill.

Nonsense. Boneless, skinless breasts are nasty and dry. It should be bone-in with skin, so at least it'll be juicy.

That's if you can't get thighs which are the best.

Fat is not the enemy, sugar is. Crisp up the skin and enjoy.

^^Citrus is high in sugar--go for melons and berries, both of which are in season now

And a splash of milk or cream in your coffee won't hurt provided you are only drinking one or two cups a day.

R67 I agree but they're ok if you marinate them. OP wants to lose fast!

I would count calories. You probably need to keep your intake less than 2,000 calories per day. But here's a calculator.

The degree to which people do not understand nutrition is often baffling.

One of the top stories in the NYT today is about how smoothies often have a whole lot of calories, don't have fiber and because it's a drink, people suck down more than they should.

I was surprised that was not common knowledge at this point, especially among the type of people who gravitate to smoothies, which can easily hit 1000 calories for a large one.

I started a doctor ordered liquid diet four days ago and have already lost 5 lbs. I am having only protein shakes, broth, V-8, lots of water and cannot have more that 900 calories a day. The doctor wants me to stay on this for 2 weeks then switch to a low cal / low fat diet, 1200 calories a day or less for two weeks. Wants me to alternate the diets every 2 weeks. He wants me to lose 25 lbs by September and says this will do it.

R6- 🥰 awww I like Richard Simmons

Your doctor is living in the 80s/90s.

Fat is not the enemy.

I have been on WW for a month and dropped 10 pretty easily. (Coincidentally went from 165 to 155) I was so confused by all the diet advice (Like you see above) I just needed somebody to tell me eat this food and you will lose this much weight. That's what WW does best. I have also been in the gym everyday. I get 16 points worth of food a day and WW tells you how many points every single food is worth. The first week I flubbed around a bit trying to justify my bad habits, but then it took.

In the supermarket I can scan anything in the store with their tracker and it will tell me the point value. It also works at restaurants (Chik Fila's chicken nuggets are zero points!)

There's alot of zero point foods that fill me up quickly, eggs, chicken vegtables so I never feel hungry. I eat one main meal at lunch and have some zero point snacks if I need something. Just stick to the plan and it's easy. When coming up with the plan you input your goal weight and your timeline and they send you a plan to meet that goal.

[quote] I have been on WW for a month

Well four of my posts were on WW simultaneously when that meant something. Top that, R77!

Thanks to the heat, my inconsiderate roommates taking up kitchen space, and my laziness/depression, I’ve got into a rut of eating smoothies for brunch instead of breakfast/lunch. I pack them with protein (eggs, cottage cheese or peanut butter mostly), green vegetables and seeds, and try to avoid using high-histamine foods (they set off inflammation in my body really easily), but I still end up reaching for certain carbs to add for taste or bulk like spelt, oats, milk and honey.

Generally, I find I eat healthier and eat more (I have a tendency to undereat) when I grab a 12 o’clock smoothie, but I know they aren’t considered healthy now. Really, so far I’ve found other low-carb/keto breakfasts & lunches so boring and unappetising as well as time-consuming that I never want to make them. Is there a really tasty but also quick and easy (like, one pan or bowl) low-carb breakfast recipe out there? Or a modification I can make to my smoothies to make them less carb-heavy?

This does work but you will be hungry.

[quote]But the whole problem is that people CAN'T not-eat, food is addictive.

I'm always surprised at how many people here think that fat people could simply not eat for a few weeks and lose the weight, but don't do so because they're "addicted."

R83, It's not like quitting smoking or drinking. One still has to eat.

OP, Try portion control and pilates, worked for me.

Green juice fast. And don't forget tofu protein.

30mg of the appetite suppressant phentemine a day plus 800 calories a day and you'll easily lose it.

Dexetrim and cheap black coffee at a diner for breakfast.

1000 calories a day and you will lose a pound per day. But this is a crash diet. Soon you will have to start eating more and will gain at least some of it back.

Honestly, you won’t do it

Watermelon diet. It worked for Liberace.

Health eating, moderate exercise, intermittent fasting at night. Like don't eat from 8 pm until 10 am the next day. 10 pounds in a month is very doable.

I have two weeks to lose 20 pounds. I guess it's not going to happen. I'm looking into some serious shapewear now.
