QuestionI am 18 yrs old and weigh 220lbs at 5'10. I want to start a diet and nned to know how much weight i will lose. I would like to lose 15lbs in 3 weeks. I am eating under 500 calories a day. I eat campbells chicken with noodles soup at hand twice a day which is 80 calories each time, 1 cup of sugar free jello which is 10 calories, fat free Pringles (30 chips) which is 140 calories and occasionally a granola bar which is 120 calories. I drink water (0 calories) and diet soda (0 calories). I take one centrum vitamin every day. I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill with the incline on 15 at the rate of 3.5 miles per hour and burn 1000 calories. I have a slow metabolism. Can you tell me how much weight I will lose by doing this in a little over 3 weeks?
AnswerDear Mac, There is no magic number to tell you what you will lose because everybody's metabolism is different. What I can tell you is that when you try to lose weight real quickly you can slow your metabolism in the long run because your body senses that it is being starved. Any time you eat under 1000 calories in a day, the body can start it's starvation mode metabolism. It will slow everything down even fat burning so be careful. I suggest eating at least 1500 calories in a day and exercise and lift weights as much as you can. Concentrate on inches reduced instead of weight lost. Good Luck, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
