Can you lose 30 pounds in 30 days?

Answer 1

I don't recommend you losing that much weight in a month. This can do damage to your body. Talk to you doctor to help you get on a diet that is right for you. I think that doctors recommend that you lose only 10 or 15 pounds a month. But don't quote me on this call your doctor.

Answer 2

In order to lose 15 pounds in 63 days, you would need to lose 4.2 pounds per day. Health officials recommend that 2 pounds per week is a healthy target goal. In order to lose 4 pounds per day, you would have to create a calorie deficit of 14,700 calories per day. This is not a reasonable goal.

Answer 3

Significant weight loss such as this should be handled under a doctor's supervision. 50lbs over 3 months can, if mishandled, cause various medical problems that a professional should be addressing.

That said, the doctor would most likely start by evaluating the goal to see if it's both reasonable and acheivable. Then, a program of reduced calorie intake with a well-balanced diet coupled with excercise and physical training would be the likely course. Drug assisted dieting may also be recommended, although the long term effectiveness of drug-assisted dieting is in question.

Finally, I would add that 50lbs over 3 months is a lot of weight over a short time. Unless there is some pressing medical reason to attempt this fast a weight loss, perhaps a slower, safer programme would be advisable.

I recomend six months, that's what I am doing. You can see further recomendations on the question that asks how can a 13 year old who weighs 160 pounds lose 50 pounds in 5 months. I am the one who says the diets above are not healthy etc.

Answer 4

It's possible, not plausible. If you want to keepthe weight off, then there's just about no way to do it. But extreme dieting, like those seen on TV, can enable this to happen as a temporary measure.

Answer 5

It is possible to lose 50 pounds in 3 months if 4-5 pounds are lost per week. It takes eating 3500 calories less per week to loose one pound of weight.

Answer 6

your going to have to burn 8333 calories a day and if you eat 2000 calories a day your gonna have to burn 10333 calories.. you burn calories depending on your weight

Answer 7

No. That sort of weight lossin that amount of time for anyone, let alone a 15 year-old, is dangerous. See a physician if you have concerns about your weight.

Answer 8

It definitely is possible to lose 30 lbs in 30 days, although it might not be healthy depending on how much you currently weigh.

Answer 9

No. The best you can do is lose 1-2 pounds a week.

Answer 10

It's possible with the right diet and some exercise.
