lose 2 stone in 3 weeks?

Only realistic way to do it is with one of these.



Loosing that much weight in 3 weeks is not healthy and shouldn't even be considered.

2 stone is 28 pounds, so you're talking about losing roughly 9 pounds a week. That isn't possible unless you starve yourself..

You'd need to create a calorie deficit of about 4,600kcals per day in order to lose two stone in 21 days. If I recall correctly, that would involve jogging for about 5-6 hours a day. Sounds mad.

not that im recommending you do this nor guaranteeing it would even accomplish the quite unrealistic goal your trying to achieve nevertheless if my life depended on it i would live on clean protein sources chicken,tuna,egg whites, whey protein small servings 6 times a day,minimum fat/carbs(ie none) i'd also supplement with a good vitamin/mineral,fiber and also caffeine to try get through some workouts which would be absolutely gruelling caffeine also speeds the metabolism,in my opinion this would make for the most rapid fatloss but as stated once you start eating properly again(ie.carbs/fats) it would come back faily fast...y 3 stone and why 2 weeks?? surely you would be happy with a 1..1 and a half stone in 3 weeks??

Healthy weightloss is generally said to be around 1-2lb per week (Weight Watchers usually say to aim for this and most other sources I have seen work on the same basis). Sadly there is no magic formula - eat sensibly and be more active. I know when I first went to weight watchers several years ago, I did lose 5+ lb the first few weeks but this settled down to 1-2 lb a week after a couple of weeks and I ended up losing nearly 3 stone in around 4 months. If you aim for 1-2lb a week anything extra is a bonus and you will not eat too little. If you severly restrict your calories so that your body struggles to run itself it will get those calories where it can and if I remember my biochem/physiology correctly that source is muscle as those calories can be mobilised faster than the calories in fat.

Incidentally, I did end up putting it back on but that was due to neck and shoulder problems stopping most of my exercise and very bad eating habits.

No not really just want to lose it asap

Then don't be silly about it. What you really want is to look great, not to see a certain number on the scales. The chances are that anything you do to get that number on the scales in three weeks will leave you looking like death.

2 stone overweight? I think everyone thought you were morbidly obese:pac:

My recommendation is to make your your diet more clever. ie. eat things that are still tasty but that will fill you up for ages like brown rice, brown bread, brown anything except chocolate! don't eat things that have high sugar content and don't skip breakfast.
I personally think it is the easiest and most achievable way to lose weight especially if you have a slightly indulgent personality.

I found this thread really helpful.
