one pound a day

willyd · 06-20-2008, 09:24 AM

Is it possible to lose one pound a day,i figure it would be safe and wouldnt lose a lot of muscle if a person weight lifted to.with that being said can any one give me a menu to achieve this?i will stick to it and see what happens in a month iam to unsure of myself to think of it myself.

Not a good idea IMHO. I wouldn't think a weight loss of 7 pounds a week for 4 weeks would be safe

. I guess it all depends. Do you have a really huge amount of weight to lose?

Yes i weigh 300 lbs

not really, unless you are hundreds of pounds overweight or are a hardcore athelete who trains for hours and hours a day.

most of us cannot lose more than half a pound of fat a day without damaging ourselves. even then, that's with extreme calorie restriction.

have you calculated your BMR?

what's your goal weight?

Read a book on the LC plan that seems best suited to your lifestyle. There will be sample menus in such a book. As you cut out white stuff, you will see a change in your weight. That's just for starters. Keep us posted.

I think you should just follow the plan and what you lose you lose.
I have put so much pressure on myself lately and I am starting to see its not worth it.
You probaly can lose a pound a day in the begining but it will slow down. Thats when you have to be strong and keep going. good luck.

You might be able to, but that would be very unhealthy. 2-3 pounds a week is recommended. If you're losing a pound a day you're losing a lot of muscle. Weight training while in a calorie deficit is going to help keep some of the muscle, but you'll still be losing a lot of it. Do it the slow and healthy way. I used to weigh over 260 pounds. I lost it in a healthy way, and have been able to keep it off for over 9 years. I did the fad stuff and sure I lost fast, but I felt so sick, and I ended up gaining it back, because I couldn't stick with it.
