Can one lose 33 pounds safetly in 3 months?

Answer 1

35 lbs in 3 months is about 3 lbs /week. That's doable, but will require serious dedication. You need to figure out your calorie needs, how many calories you are eating, and then adjust your diet to a suitable number. Probably in the 1200 -1500 cal range. Weightwatchers would be an excellent way to achieve this, although you can create your own diet if you read up a bit first.

Start by scrapping everything obviously fatty and sugary from your diet. No sodas, Nothing deep fried, no alcohol. For a cooked meal, 1/2 your plate should be vegetables, 1/4 protein(meat), 1/4 carbohydrates(rice, pasta, potatoes etc).

Try to be physically active for one hour daily. Walking is fine, jogging is better. you should get a bit sweaty and winded.

Answer 2

It is not very safe to lose this much weight in that amount of time, and will most likely be difficult to maintain. If you are very overweight or obese and begin a new diet and exercise routine, large amounts of weight such as this may come off naturally at a fast rate. However if you are only slightly overweight or in a normal weight range, it is recommended that individuals not lose more than 2 lbs per week. Losing more than this in one week typically requires unhealthy measures to achieve.

As far as how to lose weight, it is essentially a system of consuming less calories than you burn. You have a Basal Metabolic Rate dependent upon many factors like genetics, age, gender, size, etc, and in addition to that can burn more calories by exercising. For example (in theory), if you eat balanced, nutritious meals and consume 1500 calories per day while burning 2000 calories per day, you will lose about 1 pound that week because one pound is equal to 3500 calories. If you are just beginning a healthy diet, your body may be shocked at first and lose more than that.
Consult good medical sources or health books to learn about ways to eat a nutritious diet for weight loss, and get adequate exercise and sleep. There are some websites like SparkPeople that can aid in tracking your goals and progress, and give you good guidelines to follow. Be aware that many fad diets, starvation techniques, and overexercise can be dangerous and will not lead to healthy weight loss.

Good luck!

Answer 3

For a person fairly close to average weight, losing 33 pounds in 3 months is not safe. A safe amount of weight to lose is an average of one to two pounds per week. The maximum amount of weight to be safely lost in three months is about 25 pounds.

Answer 4

Start a slow, steady diet. This can be done by Googling "TDEE Calculator". Put in your information and it will give you the amount of calories that your body burns in a day on your current activity level. From that value, take 10-15% off of the calories. The value that you now have is the amount you should eat to lose one to two pounds per week.

Now, to your diet. You should start preferring fiber heavy foods that have slowly absorbing carbohydrates. This basically means you need to start eating veggies, since they are one of the best sources for that.

Next up, you need to add some protein to your diet. You should prefer natural, unprocessed white meat. These can be found in chicken, turkey and fish. These are very good, natural sources of protein that are very filling and taste very good. Your diet doesn't have to be all suffering =)

Then to fats. The biggest thing that people do wrong in their diets is to either completely cut down all carbohydrates or all fats. Neither one are very safe choices. Carbohydrates are important for your body's normal functioning, since it is like gasoline to your body. It fuels your mind and gives you energy. The key is to get the right kind of carbohydrates like the ones previously mentioned. Fats then again are needed for a lot of things. Not only do they protect your internal organs, they also f.e. help vitamins to absorb into your body. This is why fats are essential, but they need to be good fats, like olive oil. Vegetable fats are the healthier choice when talking about fats.

Last but not the least, start drinking water and sleeping well. Water is anabolic, which means that it burns fat from your body when you are hydrated. Sleeping well is then again also essential, since it is proven to help with obesity. It will also make your energy levels jump sky high in just a few days!

You should also start exercising. The most important part to losing weight is to fix your diet, but next up should be to start exercising. When you start exercising, your fat loss will become easier. Your exercising should consist of weight training and cardiovascular activities, which are both essential for your success.

Now I just wish you good luck and hope you stay motivated! It sounds easy on paper but it will be tough. You'll definitely need the good luck dear reader.
