Can I Lose Ten Pounds In Six Weeks By Doing This?
I have a really bad knee, but I can be on the elliptical machine for about 20 minutes two times a week. So I’m doing that, plus 45 minutes of Pilates 5 times a week. If I do these things and limit my calories to 1200 per day in low fat foods, do you think I could really tone up and lose 10 pounds by the middle of May?

If you want to lose weight even faster then you need to add strength training to your routine. I know you have a bad knee but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. I have had several patients with serious knee conditions, some have had surgery and some haven’t, who have completely eliminated their knee pain with certain exercises. It is important to seek advice from a qualified personal trainer who knows proper rehabilitation exercises specifically for your injury who can help you with your goals. Even 1 or 2 sessions with this person would be enough for you to get started.
I agree with Christine on upping your caloric intake. When your body notices a drop in calories, it begins to think you’re starving, and will feel the need to store! You definitely want to cut back on fried foods, and eat a lot of greens – they have fiber which makes you feel fuller longer. Try to get protein in there which helps repair and build muscle so you won’t lose lean muscle when losing weight
That’s reasonable.You may want to up your calories to between 1300-1500. I have lost 16.5 pounds in 8 weeks by eating that many calories and doing 30-45 minutes of exercise 5-7 days a week. I’m 32, so if you are younger than that you may even lose more. Good luck.
Yes, but do you cardio in intervals! Go max effort for 45-60 seconds and then revert back to moderate effort for recovery for about 45 seconds and repeat…this is the best fat burning workout
Good luck
It’s not the best method but it’s possible.
diet is always the best shot to lose weight.
you probably could. but it wouldnt be healthy in any shorter of time.
yes
yes!
yes
I am 5ft 3 and I weight 99 lbs, yes very light i know, I have been skinny my whole life, so I wouldn’t know how to lode weight but i do know how to maintain a healthy weight, I also exercise 5 to 6 times a week, I am trying to build muscle currently, I already eat healthy, I will never again eat a hamburger let me tell you that straigght out,
Also if you want to loose weight and tone your body, you must do some light weight training, I would recommend the treadmill at 7%incline for 20 minutes at a time, then some light weight training 5 pounds in each hand up down up and down. Also drink lots of water. Also try to avoid greasy fat food, substitute your diet with more salads and thigns with lots of nutrients, when you have eggs, take out the yellow part, that has the cholesterol, and maybe try soyjoy, eat those instead of chips or something, itschaep, healthy and it gives great energy, For me it works really good, i eat it before I go to the gym and its great.
So I am not a doctor but that’s what I reccomend!!
For cellulite you can try toning it by using high inclines on the treadmill, at 3.9 or 3.5 mph otherwise umm if you want to take pills…you go do that..
The primary way diet pills work is to suppress a person’s appetite.
Some of these products claim that they “burn fat”; others claim they don’t even let fat develop. Don’t be fooled. Remember that just because it’s in the media — say, in a magazine ad — doesn’t mean that it’s true.
Diet pills can be dangerous, ineffective, and even addictive. They may cause headaches, heart palpitations, drowsiness, anxiety, a rapid pulse rate, sleep problems, or dehydration. Taking diuretics increases the amount of urine a person excretes. Both basically rid the body of fluids, not fat, which, as you know, does not produce permanent weight loss.
Laxatives are dangerous because they speed up the digestive process, which reduces the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, leaving you weak and dehydrated. They also can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Diuretics also are dangerous because as they’re ridding the body of fluids (as well as nutrients; specifically, potassium), they can cause dehydration and bloating, which actually will make a person feel fatter.
Though these methods may seem like a sure-fire way to lose weight, they are both very dangerous. Your body will lack the nutrients it needs to provide energy, so the body looks internally for energy. Your body may start to use stored fat and release a high amount of it into the blood, which may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, and eventually may lead to death.
• Eat low-fat and fat-free foods and beverages that are also low in calories.
• Avoid fried foods, and eat broiled, baked, poached, and steamed foods instead.
• Keep low-calorie, ready-to-eat foods handy for snacking.
• Limit salt and sugar intake.
• Drink lots of water.
Be physically active
• Get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
• Do more vigorous physical activity, like aerobics or running.
Keep a food and activity journal if your really serious
f you need to gain weight because you are underweight or because you want to gain weight for athletic reasons, such as football or wrestling, you should first consult your doctor.
A doctor can help you decide how much weight you need to gain and help you develop a plan to do so. Most likely, the following are some of the tips your doctor will provide for healthy weight gain
Eat foods high in complex carbohydrates, such as breads, pasta, cereal, and potatoes.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables.
• Eat more low-fat dairy products, like milk, yogurt, and cheese.
• Eat larger portions of lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and nuts.
Eat (at least) three times a day.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That’s the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight… you must eat (the right things, of course)
• Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try.
OK, one apple after 18:00
• Don’t starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet.
• Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast–eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.
WHAT to drink for losing weight…
• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the “hunger” sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don’t believe the slogan “water makes me fat”. Beside being stupid… you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squee
