10 kgs unrealistic in a month?

^bump...even i wanna know :flowerforyou:

Well, I lost 10 kilograms in 5 weeks a few years back because I was very unhappy. I was eating about 150 calories a day. If you want to you can, but is it healthy? No... and you'll put it all back on and more.

Hi all.
Just wondering is it unrealistic to lose 10kgs in a month?, Is it possible? have any of you done it and how did you go about it?

This week i have lost 4kgs. i know not every week will be like this but i would really like to drop 10kgs in a month as a good kick start!
what i have been doing ;

Calories 800-1200 a day
And hitting the gym every day. sometimes even two times.

looking forward to hearing from you all

could you lose it? yes. could you keep it off? unlikely.
our bodies need food to survive and whilst limiting your cals that much you will not get adequete nutrition you need.
also, when you up your cals you would start gaining weight like crazy. why not just be healthy about it and go slow and steady?

Healthily i would say yes, its unrealistic and you would most likely gain it back quickly as soon as you stopped beating yourself up.

I would aim for maybe 5kgs in a month, remember you body needs fuel to work so whilst going to the gym twice a day is great your body will need extra food/energy to not break down.

By all means try for 10kgs, but its not healthy to lose weight that fast.

It would be incredibly hard for you to maintain if my maths is right and you're aiming for a 22lb drop? It would be detrimental to your health. Plus, you should be eating more anyway if your exercising. 1200 a day is the bare minimum, for when you're sedentary. 800 a day puts you at serious risk of plateau's and health issues. Up your calories, and aim for an 8lb drop in a month.

If you have a huge amount of weight to lose yes it is possible bearing in mind that some of it is water weight as well! However my opinion is it is advisable to lose slowly like 1kg a week so a maximum of 4 kg/month is healthier. Personally eating below 1200 calories is not recommended because to sustain this over a long period is hard and you do put your body under unnecessary strain especially if you working out two time a day! Try and Enjoy your journey of weight loss by doing it gradually and with great healthy food:)

That said ,this is my opinion entirely.

If you are eating that few calories and losing weight that fast you should reconsider.

That is to little food.

Simply to little, unless your body weight is like 100 pounds already and you are a very tiny person.

Who are you? What you done with the REAL Karg?

It's definitely doable, I have lost 15kg in the last 70 days or so, and I by no means killed myself. I still ate about 2400 calories a day, and burned 1000 off in the gym. Now, the tricky part is keeping it off after losing it that fast. 1kg/week is easy to keep off, but 2.5 is a lot to do. You will have to work hard to maintain it for a while until your body learns this is the new norm, and you aren't trying to kill it. FWIW...
