Depends on diet, exercise, starting weight and metabolism. Most diet strive for 1lb per week. To do this, basically you must reduce your daily calorie intake to 500 calories less than your maintenance calorie burn. If your body needs 2500 calories per day to maintain weight, if you reduce your calorie intake to 2000 calories, you will be 3500 calories short for the week, which is approximately 1 lb of fat.

I once went on a 1000 cal per day diet, which is dangerous, I lost 3lbs per week.

Probably about 1 minute if you light it on fire, but that depends on the temperature. The answer you're looking for depends on metabolism, exercise, and diet. We always put in calories and take out calories. When there is an excess, our bodies will create fat for storage. To get rid of this storage, you must create a calorie deficit so you are taking out more energy than you are putting in. There is no real answer to this question. A healthy weight loss is 2 pounds per week.

There is no set time frame, as it depend son calories in vs. calories out. A person who exercises more and eats less will lose weight at a faster rate than someone who does not.

No. It is not an equal exchange. What is most important are the calories of the food injested and how many calories the person's body used until the next meal.

How much pound do you lose if your 203 pounds in 1 day?

I don't understand your question, but I think you are asking how much weight a 203 pound person can lose in one day. Several factors influence weight loss, such as BMR (basal metabolic rate), hydration, and exercise. If you lose a lot in one day it is often due to dehydration. There are 3500 calories in 1 pound of fat. In order to lose weight, your body needs to burn more calories than you take in. Therefore, to lose weight, you need to create a 3500 calorie deficit per pound of fat you want to lose. However, this deficit should be a sum of the calories you don't eat over a period of time. For example, if you have a 500 calorie deficit each day for 7 days, you will lose 1 pound of body fat per week. Losing weight at a really fast rate is not healthy, and according to the set-point theory, you are more likely to gain weight back if you lose it quickly.

Why is it that when you starve yourself for a while - a week or so - you only lose 3 to 5 pounds when you want to lose more?

There are thousands of calories in a pound, so even if you skip a whole weeks calories its difficult to lose too much weight. Additionally, by starving yourself you slow down metabolism and slow the weight loss process more. If you wanna lose more weight, take the time to do diet and exercise and give yourself weeks, not days, to lose pounds.


If you don't eat anything after 6 pm can you lose weight and if so how long do you have to do it to lose one pound?

Eating after a certain time won't make you gain weight. It all comes down to how much you eat and what you eat. If you are hungry before bed grab an apple or something small and healthy. Also one pound equals 3,500 calories. So if you cut out 500 calories a day for 7 days (1 week) you can lose 1 pound a week.
