Losing 5-10kgs to far fetched?

1. What's the rush? Fast weight loss usually = fast weight re-gain.

2. You cannot spot reduce - your body will decide where and when it loses fat from. Just keep eating at a calorie deficit and you will get there.

I agree what's the rush? Everyone I know that has done the juicing thing has put back on most if not all of the weight they lost in a very short time. Juicing cleanses are for getting toxins out of your body, weightloss at first is just a side benefit but it doesn't last.

Also, if all you are having is juice after a few days you are going to find you don't have the energy to workout because you are not putting enough food in your body to convert to energy.

If you want to tone, cardio is not going to be as much help with that you need to incorporate weights.

Good Luck

I just feel fat to be honest hence why I want to lose the weight fast.. I put on 5kg in one year, I'll most likely include shakes and other supplements.

I lost 5kg in one month but that's with no carbs, stream chicken and vegetables (small portions) for dinner .. Lunch was salmon and veg breakfast was just fruits.. < don't know why I stopped but can't seem to stick to that routine ..

Thanks!

Because its not sustainable.

The thing you have to remember is you are making a lifestyle change not dieting. If you only diet and then go back to old habits you will just put the weight back on. The reason you couldn't stick with the food you mentioned above is probably because you got bored with it and wanted other things. You need to figure out how to stay at a calorie deficit but still eat some of the things you really enjoy. This is what most of us struggle with but also why most of us eventually give up, because we want that little bit of chocolate or ice cream or pasta sometimes and if we don't give it to ourselves we end up binging and then figure well I have already screwed up so what's the use.

I am doing 1250 cals per day at the moment. It's been going quite well given that I love eating any sort of junk food.

You're right! Hmm is 1500cal too far fetched for daily consumption ?

I do 1,500 but I am 5'4 and have a lot more to lose plus health issues. You might want to figure out your TDEE and then do from there or I know a lot of people on here do well with 1,200 plus eating back their exercise calories.
