You will very likely lose weight in any diet if you only consume less than 911 calories a day. However, losing 10 pounds within a week is unhealthy and even unlikely. To lose just one pound of fat, you should cut your daily calories by around 500 a day for at least a week. That's giving up 3,500 extra calories over the course of seven days.
In order to do this, you will need to know what your calorie intake is each day and the amount of calories you burn off each day. Your total daily calorie intake can be found out by multiplying your weight in pounds by sixteen. Your maximum daily calorie intake can be found by multiplying your weight in pounds by sixteen again. Your minimum daily calorie requirement can also be found by multiplying your weight in pounds by sixteen once more. These values are the basics of how to calculate the number of calories you are burning each day.
Your new target weight is set for the next 7 pounds you want to lose. In order to achieve your goal, the following adjustments to your diet and exercise program are needed. For example, instead of eating five or six small meals throughout the day, start with three large meals and two or three snacks. If you alternate between heavier meals in the morning and in the evening, do so every second day. Start exercising in the mornings and evenings, not in the afternoon or late at night.
Your goal is to lose weight as quickly as possible. What is considered a healthy diet is one that contains mostly vegetables and fruits. A military diet is different. The military diet is to eat as much protein and high quality carbs (breads, rice, pasta, etc.) as possible.
Your goals may vary slightly as you work towards your goal. One year ago, I weighed over 220 pounds. In the past, I had been very active and always ate a large amount of calories at meals. So, I know that it would take me quite a few years to lose all of my excess weight. I'm now down to a more reasonable size, which has made it easier for me to maintain a regular workout schedule.
In order to maintain my current weight, I have to watch what I eat and exercise very carefully. In the past, when I was drinking a gallon of skim milk per day, I was taking half a pound of extra weight off every week. This took many months to accomplish. Now, I only need to drink a gallon of skim milk per day to lose about ten pounds per month. This translates to a faster time frame. It also saves me money by not having to buy groceries as often!
If you are determined to lose weight in July, then I encourage you to follow my example for 3 months. In the meantime, start shopping for new healthy foods such as salads, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy items. Instead of buying skim milk, choose non-fat or fat free milk instead. Eat a glass of water with every meal. Instead of eating white bread, choose whole wheat bread. Eat beans instead of rice and pasta.
In the summer, I do not exercise as much, but I still enjoy working out. When I am not working out, I will run in place on the treadmill for an hour or so at a time. The added incentive is that I get an added lift in my abs when I work out. The best part is that I can eat all the fruits and vegetables that I want in July because they are healthier and tastier!
