    Ok men really shouldn't comment on these questions using personal experience. Women don't lose as fast as men. Period.


    So, it was ok for other guys to comment, and now that I did, it's not ok anymore?

    10 kgs = roughly 22 lbs. In one month? I'd recommend against that.

    I also never recommend a very low calorie diet (anything under 1200) unless it's supervised by your physician, and even then, I'd only recommend that for someone that's morbidly obese.

    Are you morbidly obese? (usually 100 or more lbs to lose... ) You list that you want to lose 35 kg total, so that's about 77 lbs... which make me think a very low calorie diet is not a good idea for you.

    You risk malnutrition if you do a very low calorie diet. I suggest the slow and steady approach. Shoot for 1 to 2 lbs a week... or .5 to 1 kg per week.

    My exact wording was 'using personal experience' Men and women lose weight very differently and saying 'I did it, so it's possible' is not helpful if youre not of the same agenda. It's taken me 4.5 months to lose 23kg. A guy at work did it in 2. Men always lose faster. I understand you want to help but men (and you're not the only one!) in general don't realize how much harder it is for women to lose.

    That's a copout excuse. Not all men lose faster than women, and not all women lose slower than men.

    Im 175 male went from 88 to 80 kg in a month. I was on a diet, i was active trough the day and i was running 5 6 times a week for 15 mins and walking for 20 every morning, so yes it is possible if you commit.

    Still, that's a LOT of weight in not a lot of time.

    It's not 10kg, but since the start of January, I've lost an averaged weight of around 7 kilograms a month. I've been counting calories, but have made sure I am not eating too few. On a day when I'm not exercising, I will eat around 1200-1400 calories, and on a day I am, 1400-1700. I've committed to being active most days for 30 minutes, and have just started road cycling. I'm feeling the best I have in years.
