Max weight that can be lost in 30 days

Different for every single person, it's a 'how long is a piece of string' question.

What method are you hoping to use here exactly?

It also depends on how much you currently weigh. If you have a lot of weight to lose you will lose weight faster in the beginning. If you only have say 10 - 20 lbs to lose you might only lose 2 or 3 lbs or maybe not even that. The question is too broad and really doesn't have an answer.

You could lose about 8lbs.

Depends how big you are. Based on what I have read, for the average person, the max healthy loss would be 1% of your current weight per week. So if you weigh 200 pounds, that would be about 8.3 pounds in 30 days. This is inline with the oft-quoted absolute figure of 2 pounds per week. It also jives with the fact that it's generally said that very overweight people can safely go beyond that 2 pound per week max, at least for a period of time.

Well I'm not crazy overweight, I actually just felt bad in my own body ! I ate the wrong foods sometimes and didn't work out on a regular basis (oh god, this sentence is sounding awful lol)
but I managed to lose 13 lbs!
Good luck with your weight loss

I started my weighloss plan based on an up-coming vacation as well, I had 2 months though and targeted to loose 20 pounds.. (2.5lbs a week..) I was able to hit my 20lbs lost one week early, I kept at 1200/day, worked out 2-3 times per week, and didnt eat back any burned calories..
Based on my experience, I think its safe to say you can loose 8-10 pounds before you go!

i lost 10 pounds in my first month
its my second month now and im hoping to get the same result

My Wife did the Cambridge diet, 500 calories, Ketosis, all that Jazz, she lost 1lb a day doing that.

Really the question is what are you happy to loose from your life, what exercise are you happy to add into your life, to get the end result you want.

Saying you should have started earlier, well hindsight is wonderful.

I don't know what will motivate you for a month, other than your holiday, but on my experience it's not enough of an "incentive" You get all excited and happy and the first thing I want then is biscuits and Beer!

I would keep going as hard as you can for a week, then weigh, then if you've done well you may well keep it up for another 2 weeks, or not, get bigger T shirts just in case!

PS I wouldn't personally say the the Cambridge plan is worth following, my wife was cranky as hell for 3 months and then needed her Gall bladder removed, not saying it was related, because no one knows, but hey!

Absolutely best of luck, keep positive and happy, no one want to live with a grumpy bear for 30 days just to have a holiday where you feel a little bit better!

My father lost 55 lb on a 30 day fast once. But he was significantly overweight. The fast only allowed water and black coffee and was carried under medical supervision.

I personally lost 19 in about a month but it is slowing down now.

Been there petal I'd start with a mild 3 day detox. This will rid your body of excess water and give you a fresh start. You'll lose weight that you may put on again if you aren't careful coming off the detox, try to limit salt and processed foods for another two days after.

Have room temp water with lemon first thing in those three days (a good habit to keep up)
eat only raw or lightly steamed fruit and veg.
Make juices or smoothies that contain at least 70% vegetables

So.... juice or smoothie for breakfast, drink slowly. Snack on fruit. For lunch a large, plain salad - nothing processed, no salt. A little lemon juice and black pepper to dress or fresh herbs, snack on fruit, for dinner BEFORE 7pm a bowl a lightly steamed veg or veg stirfried in water, you can have a tiny carb if you need - one small potato or a little brown rice. No sauces!

The first day you'll feel okay but that evening you may feel unwell (it isn't from hunger as you will be surprised by how many calories you have actually built up), it's from the toxins leaving your body. I do this twice a year for five days and I only felt bad the first time as I had accumulated 24 years of toxins. The second day you will feel better, the third you'll be hungry but feel okay, if you continue, after the third day you start to feel fantastic, buzzing. If you have weekends off, I'd sacrifice one for this, if your body is highly toxic you can feel quite bad.

By detoxing, your body almost deflates as the water retention drops.


After this, I'd do a little work out twice a week (30 mins cardio), and one intense class that lasts an hour, you'll lose inches as well as weight, inches make a bigger difference. And exercise 3 days a week is maintainable for when you come home.

I wish I had a holiday to go on so I could get motivated to follow my advise Have fun and good luck

I did one of them, I called it the bad breath diet Didn't suit me, fainted and all that jazz Sure did work a treat for the 4 days I did it - 9lbs! But laying unconscious on the road was a steep price I was too drained to be grumpy
