10lbs in 1 month

Paleo or any other type of diet, you still need a calorie deficit to lose weight. You can still gain weight on healthy food if you eat too much of it. Count calories and create a modest deficit. Also read the thread _Zardoz_ posted.

Trying to lose 10 lb in a month is part of the reason you're failing.

Set yourself up for a small loss (0.5 lb or 1 lb a week) - slow and steady wins the race

This.

You're going about the whole thing completely wrong.

First of all, all diets are designed to make you FAIL. They are gimmicks.

The #1 rule you cannot fool is calories in vs. calories out.

It takes 3500 calories burned to lose a pound of fat (and as we all know, your body doesn't just lose fat when this happens, it takes muscle with it). So think about that for a minute: how difficult do you think it would be to create a weekly deficit of 3,500 calories?

That's a deficit, each day, of 500 calories.

Four weeks in a month. If you could create a 3,500 calorie deficit per week, you'd lose 4 lbs in a month.

And that is the slow, steady, and proper way to lose the weight. It's not water weight then - it's just fat and muscle (and you can prevent some of the muscle loss with strength training).

So, for starters, stop with the fad diets. Clearly they don't work; they're designed to make you lose water weight and create an unhealthy relationship with food.

Second, start eating foods you enjoy, at calorie limits that will create a slight deficit for you.

Third, start moving. Exercise. It can be as simple as walking. Use the exercise to help create that 500-calorie-per-day deficit you need to lose a pound a week.

And then put a 16 oz bottle of water in your hand and feel how heavy it is. Remind yourself: this is what comes off your body every week if you follow the deficit plan.

It can be done. But realistically, not from some fantasy unicorn and rainbow fad diet. You don't need to juice, or starve yourself, or adhere to some ridiculous cult-like diet regimen.

It isn't a coincident that all of the fast weight loss fat burning gimmicks you have tried failed. Therefore, stop with this type of thinking. Read the sexypants link provided to you and follow the recommendations made about slowly losing the weight.

Okay I stop you right there. I don't want to lose 10 lbs in a month I GAINED 10lbs in a month and I'm saying that I coulcn't eat an extra 7000 calories each week by eating what I eat... Please read before to start saying things like that I know 10lbs in a month is hard to lose but my problem is that I gained those 10lbs...

Are you weighing and measuring all your foods? Logging your intake? Because likely the 10 lbs is not all fat, some of it is water weight. But you could easily gain weight eating what you are eating. Paleo isn't magic, if you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight.

Well I'm running, I try to go to the gym once per week to lift weights but last week I haven't had time to workout but I guess a few days without working out does not explain a 10lbs weight gain over a month...

That is correct - missing a few workouts will not explain a 10lbs monthly weight gain. BUT... If you are not measuring, weighing and logging your food, THAT can explain a 10lb weight gain. If you don't know how many calories you are consuming, you don't know if you are in a caloric deficit, regardless of your exercise, which if the ONLY thing that results in weight loss.

thank you for these helpful tips!!!

I read that your muscles can retain fluid. And there's also water retention in general. Your metabolism could be a bit messed up. I know mine is from having radiation but it is slowly starting to work better (not normally but better). Like the poster just before me said, it's slow and steady but eventually we will get there. It just may be more difficult for some people whose systems may be a but more screwed up. Don't give up ... I did when I have gained weight and was about 140 lbs and that only resulted in me going up to 190 lbs because I gave up trying to get to my gw of 110. This time I'm in the race for good, as a lifestyle change. I know it will take time. I hope you stick with it, and not give up. Take care.
