If I did t-25 each morning, ran 1 mile a day and had a 1000 calorie diet.
I need to loose this stomach I've grown over winter and I think it's like a 10 pounds stomach but I'm not sure. All I know is I need I do something now before it gets worse and in 25 days I have a concert so I wanna look my best to see Bruno Mars

BTW what are some healthy and rally simple meal ideas for lunches an dinners that are under 300 calories?

    Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why it has to be in twenty days?

    In three weeks, you could lose up to 6 pounds I guess if you are strict with your calorie goals. MAYBE a little more if you are retaining tons of water. You don't need to restrict yourself to 1,000 calories to lose weight though. If you figure out what your calorie goal should be, you can still lose weight easily without going hungry!

    I would recommend netting no less than 1200 calories a day in order to not slow down your metabolism too much and keep your body healthy. It will be much easier to maintain your goal weight after dieting also because your metabolism will be able to adjust to your maintenance calories.

    This calculator will tell you your BMR and TDEE. You might already know how to calculate your weekly caloric deficit and find out how much fat you'll lose in a week, but just in case you don't, here's how it works: Subtract 1200 calories from your TDEE and then multiply that number by 7. That will tell you your weekly caloric deficit. After that, divide that number by 3500 to get how many lbs. of fat you'll lose per week.

    For example, my TDEE is 1533. I'll be netting 1200 calories a day. That means I'll lose .6 lbs. of fat a week. The reason my fat loss rate is so slow is because I'm only 6 lbs. away from my ideal weight.

    Also, don't be disappointed if you feel like your fat loss rate is slower than you'd like. You'll be losing a whole lot more in water weight initially.


    Some foods that I typically incorporate into my diet are:

    Dannon - Light N Fit yogurt

    South Beach Diet - Good to Go bars (I really like the dark chocolate one because it has the least amount of sugar (6 g))

    Salads (I usually put fish, olives, and grape tomatoes on my salads. The biggest thing to watch out for is your dressing! I only like to use Delallo 100% lemon juice (not from concentrate) for my dressing in order to not let me dressing take up any of my caloric intake for the day.)


    You kind of have to play around with the amounts to make sure that your calories and macros are in check.

    Most importantly, drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and flush out toxins.

    My personal tip is to weigh yourself weekly since your weight is going to fluctuate based on water weight. Just because you may gain ~2 lbs. one day and you have been sticking to your diet, doesn't mean you gained fat. It's just the natural water fluctuation of your body and if you're exercising, it could mean muscle growth eventually.



    I know 1200 calories is only 200 calories more than 1000 calories, but trust me, you'll be grateful for that extra snack at the end of the day. If you find 1200 calories to be unsustainable for you, play around with subtracting caloric intakes from your TDEE to find your adjusted fat loss rate.



    Best of luck to you! :)
