Go to NowLoss.com/rr

Adrian Bryant | 12.20.09 - 5:52 pm

Hello, I have read many pages on your site and I must say, it is an amazing place to go if you want to lose weight! A lot of information is provided.

As for my question, I would like to know what plan would suit me best. I am 16 years of age, 6'3 or 6'4, about 205 pounds, have 'man breasts' (which are unfortunately visible) and want to lose a good deal of weight so that I get rid of all that excess fat showing up. What plan or plans do you think would suit me best? I have read many on the site but I am not sure which one to choose!

A better program for you would be NowLoss.com/15 since you are not overweight and just drink water - it does not HAVE to be cold

Adrian Bryant | 12.18.09 - 10:05 am

Hi I am so glad to find the website. I am going to start on this lose 20pounds in 3-4 weeks program. But i have one issue, I cant drink cold water as I'll have gastric. Can i replace this with something else? Also, if i were to continue this beyond the 4th week, will i still be able to loose weight? I have been procrastinating all my life when it comes to proper meals and exercise, I took the easy way out when i was young (eating disorder) and that just totally screw up my metabolism rate FYI i am 5ft7 and 145 pounds

Hello, I am 5'4 160 lbs. I am currently doing a workout routine that consists of 5 to 6 muscle building exercises EACH for upper body, lower body and abs; I rotate these daily, 5 days per week. I also run 3.8 miles in 30 mins. five days a week. In addition, I have been eating 5 small meals per day adding up to about 1500 calories and drinking 5-20 oz bottles of water per day. Am I on the right track for permanent weight loss and how long will it be before I start seeing results?

#1- forget about walking and

#2 - Focus on intervals (see NowLoss.com/i)

#3 - you can still do your walking but make sure you (IF YOU CAN) do intervals 2 times a day for 10-40 min 3-4 times a week and the other days you can do walking if you want to

#4 if no time - Look at these quick 10 mintue workouts

Not eating will help you lose weight fast but that's not healthy plus after you lose weight - you'll be more than likely to gain it all back so basically...

I'm saying you should try to eat 3-4 meals a day as the plan says

Adrian Bryant | 12.14.09 - 4:33 pm

Im 19, 5'3 and weigh 154. i need to drop 15lbs to be able to join the army in about 3 weeks. i run about 3 miles 4 times a week but i really dont eat. not to starve myself but just because im not hungry. i probably eat a meal once or twice a day and protein/fiber bars. will this help me accomplish my goal?

Hello...I would like to try your plan. I am a 44 year old female who had weight loss surgery 3 years ago and never reached my personal goal. I got down to 150 but gained back 10 lbs. I am 5'3" and currently weigh 160 and I would like to lose 20 more lbs. Do you think this plan will work for me? Also I have some whey protein but I do not like the taste of it when mixed with water. Is it ok to mix it with milk and still have the program work for me? Thank you.

Adrian Bryant | 12.10.09 - 10:12 pm

Monia

I dont think you actully need my help as far as what to do to lose weight since it seems like you have experince in losing weight whenever you want to but...

You do need to go here to stay motivated to keep the weight off

Adrian Bryant | 12.08.09 - 6:17 pm

I am 5'4" and 150 lb, but the case that I know it's bad is I'm always on and off on diet. For instance I eat whatever I want for 3 weeks I gain a lot and then I go on diet for a month and I drop a lot. I am this kind of person who for example my target is one party and then since the beginning at the party I start to east A LOT!!!
And for exercise thing during my diet I work out for example 2-3 hours a day. Although I am over weight now but I am fit.
Help me pleaseeeeeeee!

Monia | 12.07.09 - 8:37 pm |

Monia

how much do you weigh and what's your height?

You're not doing anything wrong and...

How much exercise have you done prior to the 10/10 interval

Adrian Bryant | 12.07.09 - 5:50 pm

Hi
I just started this diet last Tuesday, I haven't lost any but just in 3 days I felt I'm slimmer but it was just for the first 3 days, even now I feel I am fat again!!! I do not go to the bathroom regularly, although I drink water and east fiber A LOT.
Could it be because of the Whey Protein? And if I do not use the Whey Protein, how does it affect my diet? 4 meals are too much for me.
But let me tell you something; I just did the 10/10 interval during those 3 days and after that I had muscle pain. I will start it again from NOW.

Doing the workout plan at NowLoss.com/15 is a good idea

Adrian Bryant | 12.06.09 - 9:18 pm

Hi there im 141 and 5'4 I want to loose 20 lbs in 4 weeks so im looking into starting this plan. However after reading comments I wanted to ask if it would be wise to do the fast emergency weight loss food plan but for me to incorporate the loose your last 10 lb 2x/day cardio into my workout to loose 20 lbs in 4 weeks?

Kandice | 12.06.09 - 3:57 pm

Ariel...

Use NowLoss.com/8 - it's for busy people like you

Adrian Bryant | 12.04.09 - 10:09 pm

Hi Adrian,
I'm trying to lose weight and I love the advice you are giving But a lot of it is hard for me; I work two full-time jobs so I only have about 4hrs of sleep a day Weekdays. So I find myself eating to stay awake energized. Other times I don't eat and then binge. Because I'm up so much should I eat more than 4x a day?

Ariel... | 12.04.09 - 10:54 am

Matya

If you're doing this as an emergency diet then the answer is NO!! but if you do anyway...

try to limit bad foods like chocalate to at the most ONCE a day

Adrian Bryant | 12.03.09 - 9:59 pm

Hey,

I just have started this plan but sometimes I do really need to east something sweet like chocolate or cake, may I use this but less than 300 cal?!

Thank you

Matya | 12.03.09 - 8:05 pm

I suggest you go to NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 12.02.09 - 1:01 pm

Hi Adrian, I am 5 ft and 152 pounds. I've tried to eat healthy, drink water and worked out, and did not see any noticable changes. Which of your plans would you suggest if I want to lose 10pds or more in 3 weeks? Should I take fat burners?
thanks,
L

Lisa | 12.02.09 - 12:54 pm

Asal

this diet will work but you have to remember it's a strict emergency diet so no cheating at all until the 4 weeks is up!

Adrian Bryant | 12.02.09 - 1:01 pm

Hey Adrian,
First of all I would like to thank you so much, you are the best motivation. I am 26 female, 5'4" and until last year I was 123, I moved to the States last year and my diet has been changed, I gained 20 lb in 5 months and now I am 154 lb. If I go on diet for 2 weeks I loose a lot but even with one non-diet meal I gain more. Now I wonder this diet will help me? I HAVE TO loose it by new year.

Thank you again

Asal | 12.01.09 - 2:14 pm

You would eat the whole can of tuna which is less than 100 cals i think

Lipo 6 is fine and

NO - you dont have to eat after fruits - please read the steps again - you eat 0-to-300 calories

Adrian Bryant | 11.30.09 - 8:15 pm

Hi Adrian,
Im about 5'1-5'2, weight 162 and 18 years old. I was wondering which diet is best for me to loss weight ASAP. If I do this one, for the protein do I eat the whole can of tuna or how much, instead of the whey and soy protein?
Thank You so much you have a great site.

You should also go to NowLoss.com/50

Thanks.

Forget about supplements for now and go to NowLoss.com/50 and if you want to speed up your weight loss - jsut exercise more intensely (see NowLoss.com/i) and expect to reach your goals in the first quarter of 2010

I want to lost about 40 to 45 pounds.. which diet of yours would u recommend me do?? is it possible to lost that much in a month to two months if i do exercise with it as well?? pls reply asap thx! and can u also tell me all the supplements that i'll have to use to get to my goal fast??

Cindy Li | 11.17.09 - 7:19 pm

NO

Protein is used to help suppress appettie so any protein (food source, whey or soy is fine)

Adrian | 11.17.09 - 5:40 pm

Hi, i have just started the diet and it says that soy protein is better for women than whey which i have already bought, do i need to buy whey instead as i want to lose 14 pounds

Jodie | 11.17.09 - 4:29 pm

Atinder

Since you're 15 and you do not have a real weight loss emergency - se NowLoss.com/8 and no...

You don't have to take fat burners

Adrian | 10.01.09 - 3:32 pm

Hi, i'm 15 years old 5'8 and 180 pounds (40 pounds over the max. ideal weight for me). I'm thinking about doing the loose 20 pounds in 3 weeks plan but I don't want to take any sort of fat burning pill. How much weight can I expect to loose if I don't take any fat burners at all? Also is there any alternative to taking fat burning pills?

Atinder | 09.30.09 - 9:57 pm

Leslie

a handful or less than 20 Almonds is best but any nuts are okay

If you not hungry - dont eat but you are supposed to eat 0-to-300 calories after veggies

Adrian | 10.01.09 - 3:31 pm

Hi i have a question. I am 5'8 And about 185-190 pounds. Will this work for me? I am sort of an apple shape and looking to just flatten my stomach, get rid of my love handles, slim my waist and overall look slimmer. Also is their certain nuts you can subsitute the soy protien water for & how much of them? One more thing, what if your no longer hungry after the fruits and vegtables part? do you still have to eat a meal? please get back to me, I am trying to loose as much weight as possible to get ready for my birthday in november, but keep it off at the same time.

Hi Adrian,

I am 5'6 and 170 pounds. I need to lose 25 pounds by my wedding in 4.5 weeks. I've put on about 6 pounds of muscle in the last few months and I am about to ramp up my workout routine. Do you think following the 20 in 3 or 4 weeks program will work for me?

Investigate this futher by seeing why you can't lose weight here and yes...

not sleeping enough can be a factor

Adrian Bryant | 09.28.09 - 8:55 am

I currently work night shift and on my days off I am up during the day I have been doing this for almost two years could this be a factor in my ablity to lose weight? I have been working out 5 days a week for about a month now and I have not lost one darn lb. I know what I eat is a factor and have pretty much cut out all the fast food and i don't drink soda. coffee yes... so i'm going to cut that and shoot for the green tea or the water any other suggetions?

Janice | 09.26.09 - 4:56 am

anabelle

Don't do this diet

Do NowLoss.com/50 instead and pick the lazy option if you want to speed up weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 09.24.09 - 8:56 am

I am 5'2" and weigh 235. I joined a gym last week and have been going 5 times a week at 5 am and do cardio for 35-40 minutes and then alternate upper and lower body weight workouts for another 15-20 minutes. I found this plan and bought some protein powder last night and had it for the first time this morning with a nice juicy peach. My question is how long can I safely stay on this diet? Can I do it longer than 2 weeks and if so how many pounds do you think I may lose each week?

Your site is great! Thanks

You're only supposed to do this plan in an emergency and if you got 60 pounds to lose - see NowLoss.com/50

Adrian | 09.21.09 - 8:54 pm

hello,first of all i want to thank you for this work out plan,so far it seems to work for me. I have two questions for you, i want to lose 60 pounds so after doing this work out plan and losing the 20 pounds will it work if i continue to do it over again until i reach my goal weight? Can i lose more than the 20 pounds in the 3-4 weeks?

Valerie | 09.19.09 - 6:02 pm

Brandon

this plan can work for you but 2 things

#1- you wont be able to supply yourself with enough energy for running and...

#2 - you have to eat better & switch to doing more intervals (see nowLoss.com/i)

Adrian | 09.21.09 - 8:53 pm

Hello. I am a marathon runner and I train anywhere between 25-45 miles per week. I am 30 years old, male, 5-5 and weigh 162. Ideally I would like to weigh around 145. People are surprised that I don't lose weight when I run - I actually maintain my weight. BUT I want to lose 15-20 pounds to be lighter on my feet which will obviously improve my times. I'll be honest in that my diet sucks. I know that I need to create a caloric deficit to lose weight but I need to, at the same time, have enough calories to fuel my running. any thoughts? Is the 20loss plan a plan for me or do you have a more specific plan for someone as active as myself?

Brandon | 09.17.09 - 12:06 am

Deepio

you eat nothing if your hunger level is zero

Adrian Bryant | 09.16.09 - 8:16 am

What happens if your hunger level is zero after the 100 cal protein scoop and 2 pieces of fruit? Should you eat nothing or force down a 150 cal meal?

Deepio | 09.16.09 - 6:19 am

Ok thank you so much

The green tea in mornings and evenings are fine but I'd rather you do NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 09.12.09 - 9:21 am

Hello

I've been trying to lose weight since January of this year. I'm 33, 5'4 and african american. My starting weight was 237 and as of this morning I now weight 185. The only problem I'm having is losing weight and keeping it off. Three days ago I weighed 178. I go up and down the scale for weeks before having a permanent weight loss. I know my main issue is eating too much. I want to get down to 130 by the end of the year and I'm interested in trying your plan. I already work out at least 5 times a week (spinning, weight training/cardio, yoga)

I think I will use green tea as my fat burner since I already drink it regularly. My question is how much should I drink per day? One cup in the mornings and one in the evenings?

Also I mainly workout in the evenings; would morning workouts make a bigger difference?

Mia | 09.12.09 - 8:21 am

Thanks for the reply, I've been halving the protein and using skim (too thick otherwise) which works out to about 150 cal.

Mostly I wanted to say thank you for creating this site. I can't believe how easy this is to do! I've already lost 5 lbs in just 5 days and my brand new jeans are feeling a little loose. My determination is now coupled with extra motivation after seeing these initial results. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The best way to speed it up is to add in intervals (see NowLoss.com/i) and to eat at least 3 meals a day accoridng to this diet to support you

Adrian Bryant | 09.11.09 - 7:15 am

hey adrian,

My engagement is coming up in 25 days and I need to lose 20 pounds fast to look good in the dress. I am 5'9", 225 Ibs . I want to lose 20 pounds for now and will continue the diet afterwords till I achieve my desired weight. I will follow your 'how to lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks' program but I want you to suggest more so that I can speed up the whole process. And also since I am fasting these days, How do I manage the diet program with two meals a day?

sarah | 09.11.09 - 4:08 am

You don't have to drink the whey - you can eat other protein sources (see NowLoss.com/199) and read step #2 again

Yes - you can eat before exercise but let's tackle your main problem - which is...

YOU LIKE making excuses to LOSE but you're not making excuses to win and lose weight.

I think you know how to lose weight but you're scared to do WHATEVER it takes to lose weight so...

DOn't LIE to yourself and me and say you don't have time so let's take care of that excuse right now...

Go here for time to exercise and...

Whenever you want something bad - You will make time for it and I promise you if you make time - good things will happen.

I know it's hard to eat 3+ meals a day so what you do is - you get some Meal Replacment shakes or bars like slim fast or something.

Don't let the "TIME" excuse rob you of your dreams because one day you may be so overweight and you'll look back and say if I only made time

I not trying to be harsh - I'm just trying to give a kick in the A$$ to make you look good naked

Adrian Bryant | 09.11.09 - 7:13 am

hello I came across your website and it is very helpful thank you. I really don't like the whey protein i can tolerate once or 2wice a day put for times a day I can't take it, also my schedule is complicated, i can't wake up 7am since i work till 5 in the morning. and usually when i wake up I'm starving instead of doing the exercise when i wake up can i do it after breakfast? and taking the protein shake less times a day will that affect my weight loss? I've gained 45lbs in 13 months nothing works for me i go to the gym 2-3 times a week, i try eating healthy ( I don't eat 5-6 meals a day, i don't have time, so maybe that is my problem, and i also exercise at night once again i don't have time to exercise 2x a day)... i really hope that i can drop 20 lbs since my birthday is coming up on October and after that i want to loose 25lbs more. plan? can i exercise once a day (more time) with this diet plan?
thank you

As long as the seving size is 100-to-200 calories then you'll be fine

Adrian Bryant | 09.05.09 - 7:40 pm

I'm just starting the emergency plan and picked up some soy protein. The plan says one scoop with water, but the directions on the can say 2 scoops with 240 mL 1% milk. Do I follow this or the directions on the can (though I wouldn't do 1%, rather skim)?

Nicole | 09.05.09 - 10:19 am

Adrian Bryant | 09.04.09 - 10:48 pm

Can I wait a couple of hours in the morning to eat? I can get up and exercise @ 6am. But I have kids to get to school and work. Is it ok to eat when i get to wk @ 8am. then again at 12, 4 and 8pm

V8 = YES

fruit cups = NO NO!

Adrian Bryant | 09.04.09 - 10:47 pm

Can I have the packaged fruit cups (sweeten with slenda)? What about V-8, V-8 fruit fusion? Can it be the staple of my plan or only used rarely. Thanks

AthensGirl | 09.04.09 - 12:11 am

lezlee

You really don't have to or want to add too much of anything else to your shakes and yes...

Instead of a shake you can have tuna with some mayo

Adrian Bryant | 09.04.09 - 10:47 pm

besides adding some fruit to the protein shakes to give it some flavor is there anything else i can/should add like an egg or some peanut butter? also if i want to eat tuna can i add a lil light mayo to it? other than that the diet is going great i already feel more energetic!!

lezlee | 09.03.09 - 12:27 pm

kellie

All those things will certainly help but in your case - you're only about 10 pounds overweight which means you're not going to lose weight as fast as those people on the biggest loser who are 100 pounds overweight and I'm not trying to get your hopes down...

I'm just saying that in MOST cases - people like you who are not "really fat" lose weight slower but if feel that you can lose 30 in 6 weeks - GO FOR IT.

I also believe if you want something - dont let me (a so called expert) or anybody else TELL YOU you cannot do it!

Adrian Bryant | 09.02.09 - 10:16 pm

Ok...even if have the time to work out twice a day though?.. ill be doing weights to help sculpt which should help right make me look healthy right?...I thought i could possibly get there if a have the time to work out throughout the day like they do on the biggest loser...Do you advise the juiced veggie regimen for a couple weeks to help?

kellie | 09.02.09 - 7:56 pm

Jamal

NO

I'd rather you go to NowLoss.com/50 and don't worry...

you'll still lose weight pretty fast since you're overweight

Adrian Bryant | 09.02.09 - 7:36 pm

Will it be alright if i like eat 400-500 calories breakfest lunch and dinner and stay on it for a long time? Im 290p+

Jamal | 09.02.09 - 4:00 pm

kellie

You definetely get there but telling you it'll happen in 6 weeks by you losing mainly body fat may not happen.

You can surely lose 30 pounds in 6 weeks but at your weight & height - doing that much so fast will cause you not to look so good so for you...

It's better to go to NowLoss.com/15 to lose up to 30 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 09.02.09 - 7:36 pm

Hi, i absolutely love your site...i want to know if it is reasonable to lose 30 in 6 weeks. I am 27, 5'7 and weigh 160lbs. I want to get skinny for my birthday...i feel i getting old and want my body back....at 18-21 was 117-130 lbs..and have a smaller frame so i know i can get there....I was thinking of going on a juiced veggie diet for a couple weeks to help. What should i do?

kellie | 09.02.09 - 1:30 pm

cnacathy2006

You can make your own shake and the other green alternatives you mention are fine

Adrian Bryant | 09.02.09 - 7:33 pm

HI! I'm GLAD I found you my question is Can i make my own soy protein means soy milk and any kind of fruit or it have to be a shake from the stores?
MY second question is can i take green tea tablets or green tea juice from shoprite or pathmark?
Please let me what too do i want to loose 25 pounds in 5 wks.Thank you

you need to start off with NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 09.02.09 - 12:41 pm

Hi. I was wondering what kind of diet I should use?
Its kind of an emergency, but I really need to loose about 135 pounds.
I weigh 275lbs give or take a few.
Ive been overweight basically all my life, some medical, some just because I love soda and pasta.
But I am pretty active, I am a 1st degree black belt in taekwondo, and I am about to start a back hand spring class.
(I am really strong and flexible and thats why I am doing the class)
So exercise isn't really a problem, and I am also about to start p90x? (i think thats what its called)
But I am 18 years old. 5'7-ish, and I need to loose as much weight as I can by the end of April.
PLEASE HELP!
my email is kayleigh1114@yahoo.com

Kayleigh | 09.01.09 - 5:20 pm

NO - you need to go to NowLoss.com/50 to get to and stay at 125

Adrian | 08.31.09 - 5:08 pm

im 5'4" and have gained about 80 pounds over the last year and a half due to stress eating after a very tragic event in my life...ive weighed between 125 and 135 my whole life and want to get back down to that size...if i stay on this diet and work out can i do that?

lezlee | 08.30.09 - 11:33 pm

Abbya

On my plan you can double up for your 2 meals and eat 0-600 calories after you eat the protein + 2 raw veggies but YES...

like you said...

This diet plan or any other VLCD may not be your best alternative since you body has adjusted so what you may want to do is eat reguarly for your 2 meals by following the 8 rules at NowLoss.com/8 and not worry about calories and if you can...

Try to workout some

Adrian | 08.31.09 - 5:10 pm

Thanks for the quick answer... BUT,my question is how do i do it when im fasting i cannot eat every 3 to 4 hours and Im empty stomach whole day and i can just eat after sunset.

and plus ive already lost 36 pounds being on a VLCD and hence i think im not loosing anymore wt...

Can u please explain how do i do the emergency wtloss plan while im fasting.. Now i have only 19 days...

Abbya | 08.31.09 - 3:53 am

Abbya

Unlike taylor...

you may very well lose 20 pounds fast b/c you are overweight and fasting may very well speed that up

Adrian Bryant | 08.30.09 - 7:47 pm

hi, Adrian.. Can u please help me. Im
5'3" and weigh 199.. from today i have exactly 20 days to leave for my vacation and I am gonna start the emergency wt loss. According to my height im easily 50 pounds overweight.
So now if i follow the programme exactly the same.. and plus do some extra exercise like running and tae-bo will i be able to loose 20 pounds in the coming 20 days. Is it possible. What does your experience say. Pls help!!!!!!

Abbya | 08.30.09 - 6:03 am

Katie

Maybe not for you since you are not overweight.

It's going to take longer than 3 weeks for you to get 'stick thin' - It may work (i don't want to get your hopes down) but even if it does work...

You more than likely become a skinny fat person b/c you will have to lose some muscle in the process of shedding excess pounds and at your height and weight you should be happy b/c..

you already look good naked

Adrian Bryant | 08.30.09 - 7:46 pm

Adrian Bryant | 08.30.09 - 7:43 pm

I just wanted to know if I try this and don't workout will this help? or if i do this and both workout once or twice a week will this help me as well? Ive been having a hard time trying to lose weight my scale keeps going up and down never just down. It would be great to get your imputes advice and anything else you can throw my way,
Thanks a bunch

Yes the water in protein counts and you can drink more than 70oz if you want to

Adrian Bryant | 08.29.09 - 6:22 pm

hi, how many cups of water am I supposed to drink per day? Does the water with whey protein count as part of the 70oz required to drink? Can we drink more?

Thanks,

You can lose a lot of weight rather quickly doing NowLoss.com/50 and also especially if you do the at home weight loss workouts here and NO...

You do not have to use supplements

Adrian Bryant | 08.29.09 - 6:20 pm

I weigh about 185 lbs... I would like to weigh about 140 asap. If I follow this diet for two months is the goal of 140 possible? I am 21 and 5'2

Dee | 08.28.09 - 5:54 pm

Sarah

Are you eating the 0-to-300 calories according to your hunger level?

Increase the amount of raw fruits & veggies you eat before meals and also drink more water to fight hunger on this diet

Adrian | 08.27.09 - 6:40 pm

Hey Adrian --

I've been doing this plan for 4 days now and I've lost 6 pounds! I am really excited, but I'm struggling a little. I've been having hunger attacks that I've been able to ignore so far, but I'm worried that they will continue and I will act on them. Any advice? Thanks!
- Sarah

Sarah | 08.27.09 - 12:31 pm

I'm down 10 lbs in 2 weeks by using this diet. While I still have 17 to go to hit my goal, i'm feeling 100 times better about myself. I have more energy, and i'm seeing real results. Thank you so much!

If you MUST lose 15 pounds quickly - then do this emergency plan here but i highly suggest you go to NowLoss.com/50 to focus on your MAy 2010 long term goals

Adrian Bryant | 08.18.09 - 10:24 pm

Hi AJ

I have been trying to diet for the last couple of months. It is my fault why i haven't been sucessfull because i hadn't been very committed, just commited off and on. But now my schedule has changed so i am able to be committed, in total i would like to lose 45 pounds by May 2010, but i really need to lose about 15-20 in the next 5 wks. I have a pear shaped frame. I am 5'3 and weigh 175 pounds so i am very much over weight. All my extra weight is in my hips, thighs and bottom. My measurements are 40,30,47, I am really trying to lose alot of weight in my hips and thighs and would like to keep my bottom(don't wanna this to get flat, LOL), about 10 inches in my hips and 6 in my waist. What must i do to accomplish this? and also what must I do to lose about 15-20 pounds quickly, within like 4-5 wks.

Thanks for your help,
Ciearra

2-4 months at least at your weight and height.

See NowLoss.com/15

fat burners give you more energy to workout longer at higher intensity.

only actually green tea helps burn fat but you can of course lose LOTS of weight without fat burners

Adrian Bryant | 08.12.09 - 7:55 am

I'm 5'8" and for the first time in my life I weigh 162lbs GROSS...I want to lose 27lbs. What is a realistic time frame?? Also, do you think that the fat burners really help as I've heard they can cause some nasty side effects.

Nikki | 08.11.09 - 4:03 pm

Ok, great and my personal trainer said that I wasn't getting enough protein, so I figured with this diet I could get it in... I am a female and I am trying to reach my goals fast and thanks for the diet plan... hopefully, I will be looking good naked too soon...

Chevy | 08.10.09 - 9:09 pm

Chevy,

It's possbile with this diet.

You can eat carbs - it's a low calorie diet plan anyway

hi, im 21 and 5'4 and I weigh 155, im trying to lose at least 15lbs by September 1, I would like to weigh 135 overall, that's why I choose this plan. Do you believe this will work for me... I workout with my personal trainer twice a week. I attend group exercise classes at ballys, and I have been doing interval burst on the treadmill to run 2miles... is there anything else that can help me reach my goal by september 1, I have to weigh in on that day and I need all the help I can get... am I allowed to eat any carbs on the diet.. and the diet I am referring to is lose 20 lbs in 3 to 4 weeks... I have exactly 3 weeks... how can I make it happen... thanks Chevy, my email is quettagirl03@yahoo.com

you can lose weight in 2 weeks doing what you described

Adrian Bryant | 08.08.09 - 2:10 pm

okey thanks ,
I am trying to lose weight and i've bin trying for a long time but i live on a farm and that makes it a bit harder for me ( don't know why ) so i was wondering if i could lose weight only by eating healty and go jogging or bycicling. is that possible in two weeks, or you know lose some weight ?

ajc | 08.08.09 - 6:47 am

ajc

Yes but this plan is really made for people who have weight loss emergencies ONLY.

trying to lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks before school starts in the next 10 days is not an emergency

Adrian Bryant | 08.07.09 - 3:33 pm

hello

i was wondering , is this diet possible for a 15 year old ?

ajc | 08.07.09 - 2:40 pm

J

Yes - peppers and any other raw veggies are fine

Adrian Bryant | 08.07.09 - 3:32 pm

I like this plan because I can drop fat without starving. The key is to fill up on fruits/veggies that do not have a high caloric count. My question is: Are peppers one of the veggies to eat before meals? I really enjoy them and they satisfy my sweet tooth.

J | 08.07.09 - 12:39 pm

Jackie A.

If you have until Oct.

I think you can lose a noticable amount of weight by then by doing the permanent weight loss plan at NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 08.06.09 - 6:30 pm

I started doing a diet a few weeks ago, but got sidetracked after a week & haven't really gotten back on track. I just came across the lose 20 lbs in 3-4 weeks.
I'm going on a cruise in the beginning of October & I desperately need to lose some weight. I've put on weight since my cruise last year & can't fit into any of the clothes & I was already overweight then. Ugh.

I'm a 24 year old female. 5'5" 185 lbs.

Help!

Jackie A. | 08.06.09 - 5:40 pm

Just follow my instructions and if you do have doubts...

Just eat another 100 calorie source of protein like a can of tuna or a handful of almonds

Adrian Bryant | 08.06.09 - 6:29 pm

Hi Adrian,
I'm planning on starting this diet tomorrow as i have finally bought my whey protein. I was reading the instructions on the back however and it says not to use if for purposes of weight loss and also not to consume more than twice per day. Should i continue to follow your instuctions? or the manufacturers? Is it common for whey proteins to say this?
Thankyou!

Priya | 08.06.09 - 3:32 pm

At your weight and height - it is very possible to lose that much weight in that time

Adrian Bryant | 08.05.09 - 8:48 pm

Hi Adrian,
I am 5'3' tall and i weight 198 lbs 23 year old female...today is august 5th and i have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks...do you think it is possible that i lose 15 lbs by that time?
hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,
-Nemo

Nemo | 08.05.09 - 6:08 pm

Luz

You can't exactly slow down weight loss if you're 40+ pounds overweight.

Yes - you will lose 1-2 pounds a week but don't get scared if you lose more than that weekly and as you lose weight...

your weight loss rate will get slower and maybe even slower than 1-2 pounds a week.

As for your hip...

Do you have access to a hand/arm bike (a sci-fit Pro2)?

Also for you hip...

You have to be your own personal trainer in this case and test out activies that will not aggravate your hip but also...

If you think resting your hip for 2-4 weeks will solve the problem then I would just rest it.

ask more questions if you still need help

Adrian Bryant | 08.05.09 - 8:47 pm

Hi Adrian,

It's me again weighing in. I am now at 170.8. I lost another 4lbs. this week, for a total of 8 lbs. in two weeks. I am trying to slow down on my weight loss to 1-2 lbs. a week, could it be that since I'm about 40-50 lbs. overweight that I am continuing to lose more than what I am trying to? Believe me I'm not complaining, but I want to make sure I keep it off.

Also I haven't workout this week because of pain in my hip joint and I still lost weight. The hip pain is NOT from my workouts, I had this pain last year and it started again before I started working out. It wasn’t bad but it got worse when I fell in my yard while I was gardening and landed right on it. I’m going to wait before I start working out again but that may take time. In the mean time do you know if there are any exercises that I can do that won’t put too much pressure on my hip joint?

PS. I told my 18 year old son about your site he is trying to gain weight and muscle mass, so I sent him the link to your site and he is going to try it out.

Thanks,
Luz

It's no problem your having because...

you just need to keep losing fat and the belly is usually the last place guys lose fat from

Adrian Bryant | 08.03.09 - 8:22 pm

hi me again im having a problem im getting rid of my love handles but i cant get rid of my belly i cant take my shirt off because i know it there it upsetting can u help

james | 08.03.09 - 5:45 pm

Doing what you propose shouldnt throw the diet off too much since it is hard to gain weight eating veggies

Adrian | 08.03.09 - 3:52 pm

I usually eat breakfast at 7 a.m. because I have to be at work 8 a.m. I'm usually hungry before lunch, so I wanted to know if I could add a celery snack at 10:00 a.m. Would this snack throw the entire diet off since I would technically be eating 5X a day, and is the protein shake needed for this snack since it would only be celery or something similar? Thank you!

Isabella | 08.02.09 - 9:41 pm

gs

NOt those - I think those are fast food meals

Adrian Bryant | 08.04.09 - 4:23 pm

hi again.
i was reading your meals
under 300 cal. could i eat any of those,or wud it be bad?
thnak you for all the help.

gs | 08.04.09 - 1:23 am

gs

NO

Only eat 0-to-300 calories after veggies and protien shake or protein snack (almonds)

Adrian | 08.03.09 - 3:51 pm

so its okay to eat until i am satified? i couldnt find nuts that were 100 calories, so i got almonds that were 170 and ate half the serving was that a good idea?

gs | 08.02.09 - 6:07 pm

gs

running and dancing are good

try to eat at least 3 meals a day

Go here to see how to count calories

Adrian Bryant | 08.02.09 - 5:37 pm

hi me again.i started monday but stopped for certain reasons. now that i can start again i have some questions. i noticed that i eat like its said but i dont eat the third meal because i dont get hungry. should i eat it anyways? i also dont know how to count calories i jus ate until i was satified,is that bad? i couldnt find nuts that were 100 calories, so i got almonds that were 170 and ate half the serving was that a good idea? and is running and dancing good excercise?

gs | 08.02.09 - 5:38 am

JWade

Yes - those 2 are just as good and

you are not limited to the options I gave you

Adrian Bryant | 08.01.09 - 11:18 am

Hi Adrian,

I noticed you have Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam listed for workouts. How about the other Beachbody product Slim in Six? Would that be as effective since there isn't a lot of actual cardio? Thank you!

JWade | 07.31.09 - 10:14 am

dianaAZP

Drinking water is GOOD!

Yes - whey can be used to fulfill protin needs

Adrian Bryant | 08.01.09 - 11:17 am

Thank You Adrian, you are right, I don't want to gain this weight back, I will go to the other program you suggested to loose the last 26 lbs. Do you think that the fact that I drink a lot of water is that going to be a problem. And can i drink the whey protein to fulfill the 30% protein of my daily diet for the 1300 cals.

I know very little about clen and I think you may be talking about the banned substance clenbuterol but...

I would prefer you avoid clen and use green tea but also...

It's diet and exercise that is your major fat burner

Adrian | 07.29.09 - 8:36 pm

I had a bad car accident May of 08, the steroid shots and medicines have made me gain 35#'s. I have been very concious of the weight, maybe that's why I only gained 35#'s. But was wanting to know if the fat burner clen could be used are would you prefer that the green tea fat burner be used? Thank You, after finding your information I feel their might be a chance of me losing the weight, been so depressed because of it! Thanks again!!!!

urbancowgirl@windstream.net | 07.29.09 - 1:37 pm

Hi Adrian,

I was going to do the lose 20 lbs in 3-4 weeks, but I realized this is not an emergency so why not do your lose 50 lbs. in 5-8 months instead so I switched last Wednesday. I made a mistake in my first email my weight was 178.4 not 176.4. I checked my weight this morning and I am now 174.8 WOW more than 4 lbs. YAY!!! I know most of that was water weight but that’s ok I plan to lose 6-8 lbs a month, as they say slow and steady wins the race.
I go to your site everyday and read a little more to keep me motivated.
I completed phase 1 and my total time was 145 minutes.
I’m telling everyone about your site even if they don’t need to lose weight your site is still great for the exercises alone.

Thanks again for your help.

first time soreness is always normal at the beginning of a exercise plan.

try massage, hot showers and ice and stretching to reduce soreness

Adrian Bryant | 07.28.09 - 9:26 pm

hi me again so idid your workouts for the first two days it was great but after this my body is aching from my but to my arm is this normal if not what can i do to stop the pain

james | 07.28.09 - 1:34 pm

blkbttfly

it doesn't matter how many fruits & veggies you eat - go here to see why and the fat burners help but are not crucial in order for you to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 07.28.09 - 9:25 pm

OK thanx I started today and instead I had two fruits plus two vegetables is that too much? Also I do not like taking pills or drugs as far as appetite suppressants...so I'm not going to take the fat burner is that going to affect the weight I lose? I don't do Caffine haven't for over 5 years

blkbttfly | 07.27.09 - 1:42 pm

maritza

you need to go to NowLoss.com/50 and about the MJ...

I can tell you that smoking it is not good and I will also tell you that it is unsafe but...

I cant lie to you either - I dont really know if MJ will affect weight loss or not so what you should do is STOP MJ at least until you lose weight!

Adrian Bryant | 07.28.09 - 9:23 pm

Hi my name is crystal im 5'10 15 yrs old and 194 pounds i wanna loose 25 pounds in about a month and a half first thing i wanted to know is what is the regular weight for my height?

Ab crawling 100 feet may take about 60-to-90 seconds or longer or less depending on fitness level and you can do shoulder presses instead of handstand pushups

Adrian Bryant | 07.24.09 - 11:21 am

hi c the ab crawl u have to 100 feet i dont know how long that is can u do it for enough minutes and the same resuits

also icant do the hand stand exercise can i use a different one for same muscles

james | 07.24.09 - 7:16 am

Adrian Bryant | 07.24.09 - 1:04 am

Thanks so much Adrian for answering all my questions so quickly... im gonna start the emergency wt loss programme and hopefully it will work for me... I hope u don't mind if i bother with some more question along the way... Thanks again !!!!!

Abby | 07.23.09 - 6:46 pm

Nina,

dont get frustrated

your diet is fine but I would try switching over to more intense intervals (see NowLoss.com/i) and do those 4x a week for 20-40 min and the other 3 days do light 45-90min cardio like spinning, slow walks etc.

Adrian Bryant | 07.24.09 - 1:03 am

Hello, I been on this diet for almost 2 weeks. My first week I lost almost 6 pounds and went down to 157 but have been stuck at 159 for a week. Please help! Only 2 weeks and a half left to lose at least another 10-15. I am 5'3" and have been spinning 3x a week. I have been eating more fruits than veggies. Although had tomatoes and lettuce yesterday. Could any of these things be it? I also replaced egg whites, tuna and chicken or turkey breast for shake three of 4 daily meals. I've been taking fat burner and green tea as well lots of ice water. Getting very frustrated. Can you help?

Nina | 07.23.09 - 8:48 am

NO

fat burners will not make or break your weight loss goals

Adrian Bryant | 07.23.09 - 10:48 am

hi,
i really want to lose some of my weight by august. i think this will work for me. do i have to take the fat burners because im 15 and if a i dont will i lose less weight?
thank you. =)

gs | 07.23.09 - 1:43 am

Lil

#1 - you are not extremely overweight so your weight loss isnt going to be super fast but it can still be fast and the #1 thing you need to do is...

YOU need to change up your workout plan - it seems too easy to me meaning that you are focusing on how much you burn - focus on making your workouts intense and tough so you have 3 options to speed things up...

1. look at 1-thru-5 here
2. do intervals or...
3. do this workout plan here but overall...

YOU ARE LOOKING BETTER so who cares if the scale doesn't move!

Adrian Bryant | 07.23.09 - 10:48 am

My rmr is 1694 for sedentary, 2189 moderately active. I workout on elliptical 6 days a week 30+ minutes each time and do 20+ weight training trying to average 45 minutes a day. For a week now I've cut my calories down to 1200 and I'm burning around 500 with the exercise (using machine's monitor)When I stepped on the scale after a week, there was no change but I can tell my body is changing. I'm following your plan to try to lose 20lbs by Labor Day. I know numbers are important in the long run when your body is definitely changing but was wondering When does the scale start showing the results?

Lil | 07.22.09 - 7:08 pm

Abby

Truthfully - I dont know but...

If you read this article here on how much weight you can possibly lose on a very low calorie diet...

You can see how the lady in that article stayed on a very low calorie diet for a long time and lost weight very fast for 5 months so will the same happen for you?

I think it's a strong possbility it can hsppen for you but like I said in the article I refered you to....

Everrybody's different and there is no guarantee you will lose weight ata fast pace over a long period of time but...

Since you are overweight - I strongly believe your fast weight loss pace will remain.

YES...

Doing body sculpting will make you look slimmer and the links I give you are to help put your mind at ease to help you better understand why or why not you can lose weight at a fast pace and afte YOU REALLY READ THE FULL ARTICLE - i think you will know for yourself if you can lose weight fast and in the end - it's not what I think...

It's what ABBY believes

Adrian Bryant | 07.23.09 - 10:40 am

hi,Adrian,

I had written to u earlier and got a few answers to my question.. Now, Im 210 as of today, and im 5 4" so im quiet over wt, i would like to be 170 till sep 15 if i go on the emergency wt loss programme do u think i'll be able to achieve my goal. But, i have already lost 26 pounds..so, do u think i can still loose
20 pounds in 3 -4 weeks if i stick to the plan... Pls i would appreciate if u could tell me whether its possible or not hearing from u will really give me the motivation i need ... Thanx in advance!!

Hi, again,

I also wanted to ask u that if i do wt training i mean if i do those machines at the gym like bicep curls lat extension, ab crunch and so on. and also ur body sculpting exercises.. Is it possible that i look like 170 or even 160 within 2 months even if i don't weigh that less. and not just look fit into smaller clothes... PlS kindly help me and also can i request u to tell me if its possible or not rather than giving some link... I'd really appreciate it. God bless!!!

Abby | 07.22.09 - 5:56 pm

blkbttfly

for example...

You can have 2 fruits or...
You can have 2 veggies or...
You can have 1 fruit + 1 Veggie

Adrian Bryant | 07.23.09 - 10:36 am

I'm sorry but you are still not making it clear for me...It's either two fruits or two fruits plus two vegetables....and you keep saying two fruits and or vegetables...so too me that means I can have two fruits or I can have two vegetables....I need to know if I'm eating either or

Thanx

No - whey protein or any other protein is safe and you have to lift heavy weights, eat a lot and etc. to build bulky muscles and with this diet - there's no way you'll "bulk up"

Adrian Bryant | 07.21.09 - 11:32 pm

hello adrian i started 2-days a go and can already feel a difference in my body. this seems to be very healthy. kinda worried about taking the whey protein. really worried about taking too much. i know it has a lot of pros and cons. instead of a scoop with every meal i have been taking i-teaspoon with every meal. i am a very active person anyway but could not get lean. i usually do cardio 4-5 days a week, 30-mins or longer and weight train 2-days a week doin 2sets. but now i'm incorporating intervals in my workout everyday. question will th whey hurt my liver if taken so much everyday and weight lifting will i look bulk taking the 100 grams.i'm 48yrs 153.8 and woul like to be around 125 to 130. i can fill my self losin water and inches in just 2-days.

Hi Adrian

I just started your loss 20 in 3-4 weeks I am 44 years old and I weight 176.4 and 5’4”. I have never weighted so much and I think it because of my job. I work on my laptop for about 12-14 hrs a day and most weekends. I did weigh 148 when I started working 6 years ago and I want to get back to that weight so I started today. I know the best way for me is to email you once a week when I weight in, this will help me stay the course I hope that’s ok with you.

Thank you so much for your site it has given me hope that I can do it.

Luz

Luz | 07.21.09 - 4:15 pm

any fruits and veggies (see nowloss.com/199)

At least TWO fruits and/or veggies

Adrian Bryant | 07.21.09 - 5:16 pm

Can you explain to me which fruit and vegetables I'm suppose to eat? Also can you tell me if it is two fruits plus two vegetables or is eat two fruits or two vegetables.

blkbttfly | 07.21.09 - 2:23 pm

Thanks for this website, you're really a great guy for sharing your wisdom. I'm 5'11 311.5 lbs and have a small 20 pound weight loss goal. Small steps to a much higher longer term goal. I hope you are blessed for sharing.

tayler

Go here to see how much you should weight but...

"what you should weight" is what YOU are happy with and not what a chart says.

Eat your tuna however you like but for this diet - if you eat it with crackers for example...

You'll have to count the crakcers towards your 0-t0-300 calories

Adrian Bryant | 07.21.09 - 5:15 pm

Alright, so I'll start by saying I am 5'4 and 153 lbs. I need to lose the weight by the end of August.
My first question is - I want to lose 20 pounds, but I'd like to know how much I should weigh at my height.
My second question is - If I eat the tuna, how do I eat it? On bread, crackers, or straight?

Tayler | 07.21.09 - 2:19 am

annie

to lose weight it's best not to focus on total weight or circuit training and...

Foucs more on interval workouts (see NowLoss.com/i)

Adrian Bryant | 07.20.09 - 4:30 pm

is it better to do split workout routines or full body circuit trianing.
is this weight loss plan 7 days a week

Look at this article here on VLCD to help answer your questions but...

How low of a calorie diet were you doing?

Look at #9 here also

Adrian Bryant | 07.18.09 - 10:19 pm

Hi Adrian.

I started my wt loss at 236 on may4 and since then I have lost 26 pounds... By eating very less almost starving and working out at the gym ( I walk on moderate speed for 50 mins, take classes like zumba, hip hop, cardio muscle works etc.... But now since 2 - 3 weeks I'm stuck at the same wt .... I'm very frustated and am getting into my old bad
eating habits. I'm going on vac.on Sep 15 and I would like to be 170 by then do u think it is possible if I do the emergency wt loss plan... And if I do loose it is there a way I can keep it off because I'll be on vaction for 3 months... So I don't want to loose and gain back more than what I lost cause that's very depressing...
Also my metabolism is very very slow could that be the reason for m not loosing any more wt ?
Also since I have already lost 26 pounds do u think I won't loose 20 pounds in 3-4weeks even I'm still over wt... I'm 210 my height is 5'4 ?
Im sorry to bother u with so many questions... It's just that I really want to be 170 by sep and I have no one to help.... And I Also like to thank u for the very helpful site and the awesome work ur doing. GOD BLESS !!

Weight gsin comes mainly from bad eating eatings, eating too much, and not being active.

Stay active, eat right and you'll keep off weight

Adrian Bryant | 07.13.09 - 8:05 pm

Thanks. So you don't expect any weight gain when the 3-4 weeks are over and I transition?

Nina | 07.13.09 - 5:13 pm

Nina

At your height and weight - switch to NowLoss.com/15 afterwards.

Good job on the fast weight loss!

Adrian Bryant | 07.13.09 - 3:33 pm

Thanks for your prompt reply.  I have one more question.  Will I gain the weight back after the 3-4 weeks or 20 lbs?  I hope not!
I'd like to continue losing weight after the emergency weight loss.  I've already lost 4 lbs in 4 days!  I'm currently 160lbs and 5'3" and would like to continue to 125-30lbs.  I have time for that additional weight loss and would like it to ALL be permanent...
After the emergency plan, which diet plan  and excercise plan do you recommend I switch to?
Thanks again!!  

Nina | 07.13.09 - 3:10 pm

Nina

eat 0-to-300 calories after your whey shake and fruits/veggies

the spinning class is enough but yes...

you can add the fast weight loss workouts if you like

Adrian Bryant | 07.11.09 - 2:42 pm

I just started your lose 20 in 3-4 week program. I weigh 162lbs and I am 5'3". I am still trying to lose the extra pounds from my pregnancy. I have already lost 20 but need to finish losing at least 15, ideally 20 by the end of August (more or less 4-6 weeks max).
My question is that I am not hungry after the whey shake and the 2 fruits/veggies. They are very filling! Is it ok not to eat anything else? Or should I be eating a certain minimum of calories after these 4 shakes/fruits/veggies?

Also, I just started spinning 2-3 times a week. Should I also do the fast weight loss workouts you list for toning or is this enough for the fast weight loss?

Thanks!!!

Nina | 07.11.09 - 1:42 pm

If you are a guy then you best option to look your best for a movie role is to go to NowLoss.com/w

Adrian Bryant | 07.11.09 - 10:10 am

Hello,

I will start shooting a short movie with my friends in August and though I'm not overweight, I want to look as good as I can...

Like I feel a little out of time to get the results that I want with conventional means, I was hesitating between the emergency diet or the Master Cleanse System as a solution for my situation, which leads me to my questions!

The emergency diet is only a temporary mean to loose weight, right? But... If I wanted to keep my weight off after the shooting of the movie, could I just get back to a normal eating routine and add some workouts? Or will I have to gain all the weight back and have to start a new healthy weightloss program to loose all the weight again in a healthy way?

Although I want to look hot for the movie, I wonder if it wouldn't be a wiser choice to just start a weightloss program (like the 10 last pounds) or something... But I'm afraid I won't get enough results until August!

What would be your advice? For a 5'7 and (about) 160 pounds like me, what could suit me the best? If I was to get similar results with these two different methods, I would use the permanent and healthy one!

But for the movie, I want stunning results!

Thanks for your advice and the website is just amazing! :D

hi im 5'6 and 180 pds. exactly i want to lose 15-20 pounds by the end of summer a little less than 2 months is it possible on this pan ps. im 13

Harmony

I'll let you decide by asking yourself this question...

How bad do I want to look better naked?

Is eating ice cream more important than looking good naked?

Now I'm not saying you have to be perfect all the time with your diet but you are just on your 2nd day and you're already thinking about cheating

Adrian Bryant | 07.11.09 - 10:08 am

So like, it's the second day of my doing the routine, I feel sore (but great), I know I need to continue ripping my muscles today, but my question is, tonight my friend is very ill and she wants to go out for ice cream, with it being the second day if I had something fattening like that (one serving) would it do anything damaging to the cycle?

Harmony | 07.09.09 - 1:04 pm

Neha

because of your weight - you may not reach 110 pounds by that date.

Your best option is going to NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 07.08.09 - 3:30 pm

Hi Adrian,
I am going back to meet my family in August (around the 15th) and today is July 8th, so I have around 4-5 weeks to do this. My curent weight is 125 lbs and I want to drop down to around 110. I am 16 years old. My main issues are a flab only in my upper arms, inner thighs, belly and love handles. It's mostly extra fat that makes me look a lot bigger.I have two questions:
1) Will this plan work for me?
2) I am definitely going to continue eating around 1500 calories or so everyday and workout an hour every day even after I am done losing the weight. Does that mean I am still going to gain all the weigh back in a week?

I want to have a really good body since my sister and I decided that we would lose the last 15-20 pounds before we met...

Thank you so much for your help! I am going to send my sister and her friends this website link today so that they can benefit from it too.

Yes - this will work for you

I assuming the boot camp is intense so you can workout more on the other days by doing less intense weight loss activities like walking on the other days

I also will be eating tuna or chicken instead of the whey and I will be attending a 45 minute bootcamp 3 days out the week. Should I do more exercise?

NO!

the only people who need to do this fast weight loss diet are people who have weight loss emergencies where they have to lose weight fast for speical events or circumstances so if you do have an emergency - DO THIS DIET but if not...

GO to NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 07.06.09 - 3:06 pm

I am 17 and 5'0 ft and 141 lbs...should I take this diet plan?

yvonne | 07.06.09 - 8:21 am

Alyssa

If you do this diet go ahead and exercise as well while on the diet - dont just think the diet alone is all you need

dont take any extra fiber - if you dont want the shake - just eat another 100 calorie protein source (see NowLoss.com/199) and you already get enough fiber from the fruits and veggies you eat

Adrian Bryant | 07.05.09 - 1:04 pm

hi!
I am a 19 year old female who is 175lbs and i am going to start your diet plan on Monday July 6th.
i was just wondering if instead of drinking protean could i drink fiber instead? i was thinking that it would make me less hungry then just drinking protean. or... could i do both?
thanks!

Adrian Bryant | 07.02.09 - 8:21 pm

Adrian,

Good morning! I have been researching on your website and it sounds like great, sound advice!!! I do need help in choosing which plan is right for me! I am 41, have had two kids, and looked my best at 128, I am 5'8". However, I now weigh 162! OUCH!!! I want to loose this weight FAST, so I have been looking at your suggestions for 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks. I know I have more than that to loose, but I figured that would be a great start ! An y suggestions? I am also a vegetarian !

kimberly.day@palmaccsd.org | 07.02.09 - 7:55 am

ivanouski

Probably not - you'll lose weight but not 20+ pounds because you are not overweight

Adrian Bryant | 07.02.09 - 8:20 pm

Adrian,

Im 14 years old 5'9 and 160 pounds i need to lose 20 pounds in 5 weeks. Is this plan going to work for me?

ivanouski@sbcglobal.net | 07.02.09 - 12:01 am

lisa

1. have another 100 calories protein source like nuts or tuna instead of protein shake (see nowloss.com/199 for sources)

2. eat 2 fruits AND/OR veggies and I would eat NOT a lot of watermelon or cantelope but I would rather you eat a LOT MORE raw veggies

3. green tea

Adrian Bryant | 06.30.09 - 10:33 pm

I need to lose 30lbs. I am 178 and 5'7".
1)Can I still lose without drinking the protein drink? is there something else I can replace with that? So, basically you eat 2 raw veggies and 2 fruits 4 times a day.
2)How much canteloup or watermelon can I eat at a meal?
3)What fat burner is the best?
Thanks for answering my questions.

Go to nowloss.com/50 and keep 40 pounds off forever

5 days a week and roller blading are all fine to help you lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 06.26.09 - 7:58 am

hi adrian im starting the workout series and i was wondering if i could do them 5 days a week with weekends off and also i wanted to walk at night after the workout sorta like a cool down and i have 2 small children so to get them outside but i hate wlking so i was thinking of roller blading is it the same amount of activity will it have the same benefits or more or less thanks in advance

megan | 06.23.09 - 11:48 pm

Jen

No - only eat 0-to-300 calories after veggie & protein depending on how hungry you are

eating 3 times is fine but eating 4 times helps to suppress your appettie longer but if you can withstand it - then go for it but I would go to 0-to-400 calories after veggie and protein if only 3 meals but...

It seems to me that you are a busy person and you dont have any weight loss emergencies so instead take a look at the plan at NowLoss.com/9

Adrian Bryant | 06.26.09 - 7:57 am

Hi,

I just began this plan and was wondering if it is completely necessary to always eat after the two fruits/veggies and protein? (Which I eat 100 calories of nuts for and plan on switching to tuna next week.) I get really full after just that and a bottle of water.

I understand that you should eat 4 times a day to increase metabolism, but let's say I just do three? (Mostly because I'm running around in school a lot and don't have the time.) Is that going to affect the results much?

I am about 5'1, 20 years old and between 124-128 lbs as of now. According to some charts, that is less than 20lbs overweight, according to others it's about 20. What do you say? Is this plan going to do much for me? (I chose to do this plan vs. your other one because it sets a better guideline I can follow.)

Thanks so much!

You are not overweight so your weight loss will take longer and instead of this weight loss plan...

You need to go to NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 06.20.09 - 7:05 am

Adrian,

I'm 5'9'', 180lbs, and I've been doing this diet for a few weeks now. I get up every morning and run for 15-30 minutes on intervals, 3-6mph, and eating 1400-1700 calories a day.

I was 172 when I started, and I look about the same, I feel stronger in my legs, but I should be LOSING weight, what am I doing wrong?

Charlie | 06.15.09 - 9:54 pm

Nickf

The point is to workout in the morning on an empty stomach so yes - you could wait 30 minutes and depending on how intense your morning workout is...

It's okay to drink water/ gatroade while exercising

Adrian Bryant | 06.12.09 - 1:30 pm

Adrian,

I have always been told doing cardio first thing in the AM prior to eating will rev your metabolism aiding in weight loss. My question is this do you need to jump out of bed and jog or can you hit the gym a half hour after waking up? I guess I'm asking if this would gave negative effects

Nickf | 06.12.09 - 1:49 am

Christy

You can try doing that as long as you eat 0-to-300 calories afterwards but I would just mix the protein with water when trying to lose weight as fast as possible

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:13 pm

how many grams of protien (from protien powder) should be in a scoop? can i mix it with a cup of soy milk? if i did it would be 165cal per serveing

oh i forgot i whey protien instead of soy is that ok

Christy | 06.09.09 - 2:30 pm

Stick with tae-bo or some other type of interval (see NowLoss.com/i)and stay away from Milo

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 10:10 pm

Hi Adrian, sorry i keep forgetting all my questions, if i were to do the workout#1 or #2 and then for the interval can I do Taebo? Or some sort of dancing, like belly dancing?

Thanx for the advice, just one more thing to ask - can i drink the energy chocolate drink Milo?

No Acai may be good for health but not fat burning

if ever in doubt about a fat burner - go with green tea

Adrian Bryant | 06.06.09 - 6:02 pm

just have a question, I would like to know what you think about the Acai X3 berry pills. Would this work aa fat burner, or should I also be taking one of the fat burner that you have listed?

thank you

#2 - Avoid all fast carbs here like snacks, etc so to answer your question...

You can eat carbs as long as they are complex and...

Fast weight loss workout #1 and/or #2 will burn fat and tone body

Thanks alot

You are not chubby and since you not really overweight - it's going to take longer for you to lose weight - you may want to look into doing the plan at NowLoss.com/15 to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 06.03.09 - 6:01 pm

5'5" 145 lbs


I am very active, I swim for two hours in the morning and 3 times a week we have a two hour practice in the afternoon. This is competitive swimming, too.
I work hard, but I'm kinda chubby.
Any explanation?

Brittny | 06.03.09 - 2:45 pm

kate,

You don't HAVE TOO use the whey protein at all but you do have to have some protein with your veggies before your 0-to-300 calorie meal.

Please go back and look at step #3 again where it says...

"# if you don't like drinking whey or soy protein... Then you can eat another 100 calorie source of protein like small cans of tuna or chicken or a some nuts."

The best natural fat burner is green tea and the treadmill is fine but...

Go here to see how hard you need to workout to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 06.02.09 - 12:57 pm

i am going to be starting this today & is it really nesscassary to take the whey 4 times a day or would 2-3 still have the same effect?

this is the whey ill be using (strawberry) mixed with water... id rather not have to do it 4x a day i really dont have the time to eat 4x a day i am only allowed breakfast and then the lunch i take at work and dinner when i get home.

i wanted to follow this but i wanted to know if the 3x a day will be effective to the 20 lbs and if the whey i am using is ok.

i am 5'6 female 190 lbs

what fat burners do you recommend... like the #1 brand in your mind?

and instead of your excerises listed can i do the treadmill for 15-30 or would kettlenetics be better?

i have a free gym so id rather do that (treadmill)

kate | 06.02.09 - 10:02 am

Antionette Harris

What's the problem then if you are looking better?

Look at #12 here for the reason why you look better

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 4:23 pm

I'm on my third week and I actually gained weight! What i'm i doing wrong? Everytime I run into people they say i'm losing weight, but it seems like i'm only gaining.

Antionette Harris | 06.01.09 - 3:37 pm

tyannwhite

the whey protein is fine and like tuna - it's just protein but I suspect the 7 pounds you may have gained could have been a result of the water retention effect of the creatine and...

Not all protein shakes or most protein shakes for that matter usually don't have any extra creatine in them but...

Protein Shakes without creatine is okay for anyone looking to reduce their weight.

Protien or whey protien will not make you gain weight unless you are lifting weights and eating MORE calories to cause muscle weight gain and also in your case...

I highly doubt you gained 7 pounds of muscle and/OR fat in 2 weeks but let's say you did gain muscle...

You would still look slimmer as a result and very highly doubt you put on any fat since you were on a highly restricted diet and...

I think mainly you just gained extra water weight from the creatine.

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 8:04 am

I am a 19 yr. old Female. I started this diet/exercise plan about 3 weeks ago, before switching it up a bit. I tried the whey-protein before each of my 2 raw fruits/veggies, and then ate my meals of usually less than 250 calories, and continued this 4 times a day, as you said. I actually gained 7 pounds in 2 weeks. The whey protein I was taking had Creatine in it, as do a Lot of brands of Whey protein. So I currently switched to your alternative, a 100 calorie serving of Tuna (or chicken) after the veggies and before my meal. So far, I had had great luck with this. (Losing no less than around 4 pounds each week) My question is, Should younger women stay away from so many servings of Whey protein on this diet?

tyannwhite@hotmail.com | 05.31.09 - 6:35 pm

Paula | 05.29.09 - 12:03 pm

char

Since you are not overweight it's going to take longer than 4 weeks to lose 20 pounds OF FAT so here's what I suggest...

GO to NowLoss.com/15 and lose fat slowly and forever or you can disregard this if your 20 pounds is an emergency then...

For your low weight - I suggest you try something like the master cleanse here but beware...

You will gain back all the weigh you lose and probably more

this is okay for women to do and you wont gain TONS of muscle unless you do workout with weights (heavy weights) to break down muscle to build tons of muscle plus...

Your calorie intake has to be real high (which it wont be on this diet) to gain tons of muscle

Adrian Bryant | 05.28.09 - 2:08 pm

is this ok for women to do?
having whey 4 times a day?

i want to lose the quick weight not gain tons of muscle.

kate | 05.27.09 - 11:25 am

ktford72,

You can lose weight without the fat burner but you can try some green tea pills that dont have caffeine in them

Do this workout here for twice a day

Any water is fine

check with doctor about B12

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 11:12 pm

Hi! I am a 34 year old female. I weigh 195 at 5ft 2in. I am off of work for the next month and just joined a 24hr gym so I have the time to workout whenever. I would like to lose at least 20 pounds by my birthday-July 2. I am going to start your plan but have a problem taking fat burners. Caffeine actually puts me to sleep. So when I take them instead of giving me energy etc. I am ready to go to bed. Can you recomend one that's not full of caffeine and will work if I have to chew/open the capsule? Should I exercise more than once a day to speed up my weight loss? I normally drink only Dasani water but was just told by my brother that I need to drink distilled water instead. Is this true? Finally, would you suggest that I also get the B12 injections?

ktford72@yahoo.com | 05.26.09 - 4:48 am

Audrine,

In your case - your morning workout would be 9pm but let me suggest you go to NowLoss.com/50 for long term weight loss goal.

Working out twice a day will help speed up results and I never heard of hyperdrive but as long as ithas green tea/caffeine as ingredients then that will also help speed up results as well

#1 - I'm not a doctor so ask your doctor if the meds are causing your weight loss problems but if not...

Go here and select "lazy" for how to eat to lose weight and as for your walking and other exercise...

Look at the first 5 things here for ways to boost exercise to lose weight and in my opinion...

The walking is probably too low intensity so think about walking faster or walking up hills and forget about fat burners...

They may or may not help but they are not the answer and most importantly...

keep in touch so I cna help you if still have trouble

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.09 - 5:48 pm

I am 5'8 and 185, 39 year old female. I have gained approximately 10 pounds in the last 4 months. I recently stopped taking Zoloft 100mg a day and Wellburtin 150 mg a day. However, I am still on Ambein 10mg a night. I recently returned home from overseas and my weight is rising. The first week of January 2009, I weight 172 pounds. By February 2009 I have gained 18lbs. I stopped taking Zoloft and Wellburtin 2 weeks ago and now my weight is climbing. Although, I gained weight on Zoloft and Wellburtin I was maintaining 181lbs now that I have stopped my weight continues to climb. I work out five times a week. I don't take in enough calories, but I am trying to regulate my eating getting more than 1000 calories a day. I walk 2 miles a day 5 times week, do pilates twice a week, and yoga once week. Help me!!! i am struggle in the worst way I look like a blimp!!!! I take a fat burner, but nothing helping me. What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks for any help you give me!!!

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:49 am

what the best fat burner you guys recommend?

SL Stafford,

Yes stick with the same plan but just go here for tips to speed up weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 05.19.09 - 7:51 am

Thanks Adrian

I will try your advise on the workouts.. Should I go back on the orginal plan to acheive my goal? It was the now loss 50 plan.

Thanks so much!

SL Stafford,

YES - Stress can have an impact but no so much to STOP weight loss in it's tracks and the plan you lost 30 pounds on - was it the NowLoss.com/50 plan?

Regardless -the first thing you should do is go here when you hit a plateau to manipulate your workout to lose more weight.

It sounds like you tried to manipulate diet instead of exrcise (which is fine) but You got too ambitious in my opionion and went too low in cals by doing this emergency diet (which is only for emergencies) but give those tips a try and rememeber...

DO NOT Hesitate to cotnact me again if you still need help - Mostly YOU & Me have to get those 45 pounds off you!

Hi Adrian,
I have been doing this weight loss plan for three weeks now and cannot get the scale to budge. I am eating the fresh vegetables prior to a soy protein shake and most of the time I am to full to eat anything else. I am eating at least one low calorie meal a day. so for example I do the fruit and soy at 8 & 11 and eat a low cal lunch like salad with griled ckn - then do the fruit and soy at 2 & 5..based on hunger i might do a low cal meal at supper. I am still drinking a ton of water. I have been under alot of stress lately though. Could that have anything to do with my progress? I did your program since January where you eat every 2-3 hours and drink a gallon of water daily & working out. I lost 30 lbs on that from January until April.. NOW I am just stuck and totally bummed. What can i do to get past this plateau? I am 5'8.5" f and at 197 and would like to lose at least 45-50 more... Thanks in advance for the advise you are the BEST!

Weight loss gets slower as you get closer to your weight loss goal.

You'll need NowLoss.com/15 to lose last 15 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 05.15.09 - 12:04 am

Hi, I am 5'7.5 and I weigh 175. I have lost 30 pounds since Dec 29 and am really struggling to lose weight now. I have a family vacation on June 19 that I would like to be 160 at.Is it possible for me to lose 15 pounds? I am starting to get discouraged because my weight loss is really creeping now.Any help you can give would be great!

Chris | 05.14.09 - 7:30 am

Kat,

I dont want to say that It's NOT possible but you'll be better off losing 50 pounds over 5 months with NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 05.11.09 - 8:55 pm

Hi I am almost 30 and I weigh 240 lbs and I am 5'8" tall. I am really interested in losing weight. I want to be at least 180 by August. Is this a realistic goal with your plan?

Kat | 05.11.09 - 1:34 pm

Marshae,

Dont switch plans - just stick with the plan you're on now and go here to see how to speed up weight loss and realize this...

Your weight loss rate gets slower as you lose weight every week

Adrian Bryant | 05.11.09 - 10:44 am

I weigh 175 and I stand at 5'5 and since August ive lost 55lbs. It seems to be a tad bit harder to lose wwight so im looking for another diet plan to get down to my goal weight of 150. Can this be achieved with this plan? Also when it comes to the Soy Protein how much do I need to buy?

Marshae | 05.10.09 - 10:56 pm

Jerry,

#1 - you're not overweight so it's going to take you longer than a month to lose 20 pounds and why would want to keep losing weight when your weight is healhty?

Go here and check if you dont believe me

Adrian Bryant | 05.10.09 - 7:04 pm

I weigh 160 and am 5'6. I'd like to weigh closer to 140. I don't really care about getting any stronger id just like to be skinny and lose all body fat. Will this plan work for me, im not sure if I am overweight enough to do it. I don't want to waste a month and have it be counter productive. Im very healthy, play a ton of basketball and run nearly everyday hoawever I havent SEEN any results. I want to begin getting skinnier and i feel dieting is my last options. Please give me a direction to go in.

Thanks,
Jerry

Monica,

"THis isn't a jumpstart diet" and I prefer you stick with NowLoss.com/50 for your long term goals

Adrian Bryant | 05.09.09 - 11:25 am

I am 185 and 5'4" and I am trying to jumpstart my body on a weight loss so I wanted to start this. I can only drink the whey protein w/ soy milk. What in this diet do I need to alternate for the calorie difference from milk vs water for the shake? Also, the whey protein that I have is 26g in ea scoop so I need to take it 4 times a day. I do not want to take a fat burner (health reasons) but I have Alli. Is 20 pounds a realistic goal?

Monica | 05.08.09 - 11:49 pm

Sheila,

NO.

Stick to raw veggies - canned veggies usually are packed with added sodium and perservatives

Adrian Bryant | 05.04.09 - 5:21 pm

I just started this and i have already lost 4lbs since the April 30th. I was just wondering if i can eat can veggies or is that really bad>

Sheila | 05.04.09 - 3:27 pm

Brian

You need NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 05.02.09 - 5:22 pm

I'm 14 5'6" and 212 lbs, i desperately need to lose weight i want to be about 170-180 by august(football season) but i have school now and wake up at 6:00 and leave 4 school at 6:30 what should i do till june when i get out of school to lose weight?

Brian | 05.02.09 - 2:03 pm

Rachel,

Stick with weight wathcers and go here if you want to lose weight faster with weight watchers

Adrian Bryant | 05.02.09 - 5:22 pm

Don't do weight watchers after this plan? Or don't do this plan and stick with weight watchers?

Rachel | 05.02.09 - 11:56 am

Mary,

At your height and weight - you're only about 10 pounds away from your goal so...

You weren't going to lose 5 SOLID Fat pounds a week and keep it off anyway - go here to see why.

Losing your last 10 takes time or at least 5 weeks so I recommend you at least try the plan at NowLoss.com/15 which focuses on losing your last 10 and also...

Losing your last bit of weight is going to be a lot more about exercise than diet (although diet is still very important) - you can't expect to lose much without exercise and furthermore...

Your exercise will have to be more intense intervals (see NowLoss.com/i)

As for why you gained 6 pounds - I need to know more about the Jillian Michales flush and also tell me how many total caloreis you ate each day

Adrian Bryant | 05.02.09 - 9:52 am

I have been doing this diet, and the Jillian Michaels flush simultaneously for the past 6 days and I have gained six pounds. I have not exercised at all. Most days I only have one meal because after the fruit, and soy protein drink I am too full. I am a 32yr old female 5'3" tall with a starting weight of 136. My goal weight is 125lb in two weeks, but I am now at 142lb. What am I doing wrong?

Mary | 05.01.09 - 7:36 pm

Rachel,

Don't do that.

Stick with your current plan and just go here to lose weight faster

Adrian Bryant | 05.02.09 - 9:45 am

I do weight watchers and it has worked good for me. But I want to try this for a few weeks so I can lose a lot before summer. Once I am done with this plan, if I continue following weight watchers and exercise, should that help me keep the weight off?

Rachel | 05.01.09 - 12:34 pm

Ashley

Go to NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 04.30.09 - 10:14 pm

Hello,

I’m a 6 foot tall female, I weigh 150 pounds, like always swim suit season is coming up. I would love to be 140 or in the 135-140 range .I’m not a huge fan of diet pills because of sports I play, and what they can do. I’m more old fashion. I am in good shape, but not happy with my current weight. I have tried track, cross country, tredmeal and even swimming/yoga nothing works .Plus I do rock-climbing, swim team ,track ,basketball, karate ,and some acceleration training as sports. I have a lot of muscle but I want to lose fat! Following this weight lose plan I don’t want to lose that much weight ,I want to get rid of access fat in my midsection and glutes. Is there a different plan that I can go on to reach my goal in time for swim suit season, or and exercises that will trigger my glutes and midsection specifically?

Ashley | 04.30.09 - 3:28 pm

Rachel,

Don't really have a definite answer for the green beans but eat enough to help satisfy your appetite or enough to make you not really hungry after eating them.

NO for the protein part - if you don't like the Biggest loser protein then eat another 100 calorie protein source listed at NowLoss.com/199.

Do not drink the K20 water stuff thruout the day and just drink regular water.

After eating veggies and protein - eat 0-to-300 calories

Adrian Bryant | 04.30.09 - 10:14 pm

Hi. I had a baby 7 months ago an gained a lot of weight. I have already lost 65 lbs, and currently weight 160. I am about 5'3" and would like to lose between 30-40 lbs. I have a couple questions. For the raw veggies, how many green beans could I eat to count as 2 whole veggies. Also, the whey protein I bought is biggest loser and is only 50 calories per scoop. I don't like the taste, so I was wondering if I could replace it with special K20 protein water which is also 50 calories and 6 grams protein. Also, is it safe to drink the k20 protein water through the day or would that be too much protein? and if I am not hungry after you protein and veggie or fruit is it OK to eat nothing or should you try to eat something? Thank You.

Rachel | 04.29.09 - 3:43 pm

Chrismar,

If you don't like whey protein shakes - have another 100 calorie protein source like a an of tuna or the other protein sources at NowLoss.com/199

Adrian Bryant | 04.24.09 - 10:24 pm

Hey Adrian

I bought some protein powder, and i ABSOLUTELY HATE the taste of it in liquid form. Is it okay if i just add the powder in yogurt and scoff it down?

Chrismar | 04.24.09 - 10:59 am

Brooke,

Yes but see how to cheat on your diet here

Adrian Bryant | 04.23.09 - 6:08 pm

Okay one more question can I take a cheat day once a week on the low cal diet. Me and my friends meet up every friday to go out. So i guess my question is more like can I take one night off every week?

Brooke | 04.23.09 - 5:05 pm

Brooke,

YEs - at your height and weight - it's probably a good idea for you to get off this low calorie diet after losing your intial 20 and switch to either NowLoss.com/50 or NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 04.23.09 - 4:56 pm

Hello,
I just had a baby in January I am 5’5 25 years old and weigh 180. I want to lose 30-40lbs but I want to lose 20lbs asap. I am going to try this program but I had a question. I see that you say you shouldn’t stay on this program long because your metabolism will eventually slow down. What if I took one day off a week, would that help my metabolism stay up? and Would that help me from gaining the weight back when I go back to slowly eating regularly, while still working out.

Brooke | 04.23.09 - 2:55 pm

Tamika,

The fat burners help but taking them or not taking them will not slow down weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 04.22.09 - 8:12 pm

I am wondering about the type of hydroxycut that should be used. I bought the new caffeine free hydroxycut and the directions say to take 2 pills three times a day. Your loose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks plan, you said to take the fat burners only twice a day. If I do it only twice, will it slow down my weight loss?

Tamika | 04.22.09 - 9:27 am

Kitty,

It depends on how much you weigh.

Look at this article to help you decide

Adrian Bryant | 04.22.09 - 8:10 pm

How long can I safely stay on this program? I need to lose 60lbs.
Is three months too long?

Kitty | 04.21.09 - 9:06 pm

Brianna,

Go here to see if working out hard enough to lose weight

look at this home weight loss workout as well

Adrian Bryant | 04.19.09 - 8:14 pm

Thanks for the article. I have a question about exercising though. I am a stay-at-home mom and unfortunately cannot afford a gym membership. I do little walk with our stroller and have some high impact cardio burning DVD workouts that I do during my son's naps or after bedtime. A couple of these workouts are pretty intense, but how do I know if I'm really getting the proper workout? Is there a basic way other than checking the scale everyday to tell if these workouts are effective for my lifestyle?

Brianna | 04.19.09 - 4:33 pm

Sinead,

You don;t have to take the WHEY protein 4 times day - you have to eat a 100 calorie source of protein in each of your 4 meals.


go to NowLoss.com/199 for other sources of protein

Adrian Bryant | 04.19.09 - 7:48 am

Hi need to loose 40-50lbs, 20 as soon as i can. I just bought some whey protein and today was my first day with it. I took one glass for breakfast and one for lunch and il just eat a regular dinner. My evening snack will likely be apple with a spoon of low fat peanut butter. Can you suggest anything else i should do, ive read your 20lb in 3-4 weeks but if im reading it right i need to take the whey protein 4 times a day and add a lot of raw fruit and veg.
Can you help me

Sinead | 04.18.09 - 9:36 am

Diane,

Sure - you can use any exercise program you want as long as you stay active which is key to fast weight loss but if you have shin splits...

you may want to stick with non impact exercsies like elliptical, swimming or a bike

Adrian Bryant | 04.17.09 - 9:17 pm

Do you think I could insert the "Couch to 5K" http://www.coolrunning.com/engin...2/2_3/ 181.shtml program into my weekly excercise every other day even though it's ~30 minute workout? The loop I walk/jog is ~2 miles and is very hilly. Any advice for shin splint pain? I'm glad you get back to even the dumbest questions

Diane | Homepage | 04.17.09 - 9:20 am

alexis,

GO here to get rid of love handles

Adrian Bryant | 04.16.09 - 8:34 pm

i am exactly 5' and i weight 119 pounds and hate my love handles. what can i do to help get rid of them. i also dont like my thighs.

alexis | 04.16.09 - 5:26 pm

Joseph,

NO - you don't have to count the fruits and veggies in your total calories

Adrian Bryant | 04.16.09 - 8:34 pm

Hey Adrian,
I am doing your "lose 20 lbs in 3-4 weeks" plan and...

I was wondering if I should be adding in the calories I get from my two fruits and or vegetables per meal to my overall daily intake of calories?

Considering you you state that these types of foods have a "negative calorie effect" thanks

Joseph | 04.16.09 - 2:09 pm

Diane

The protein and veggies are supposed to make it hard for you to eat up to 300 calories afterwards because it suppresses your appetite making you lose weight faster

Adrian Bryant | 04.16.09 - 8:32 pm

Update: OK, I've lost 2.5 pounds since 4/13. I realise it may be just water weight but I'm hopeful and energized to stay on the program. I'm using the All Natural Whey Protein by "Biggest Loser", it's hard to get in the 100-300 calories though as I'm pretty full after the 2 fruits/vegies. Is this ok? I do a early morning fast walk alternating jogging, and plan to aternate upper body and lower weight training each day. Thanks for responding quickly.

Diane | Homepage | 04.16.09 - 12:24 pm

Diane,

1 - you can lose weight despite menopause - take that excuse out of your head.

2 - any type of yogurt is fine. just dont go over 300 calories after you eat the veggies and protein

3 - The fat burners are not crucial to your success and you can drink natural green tea instead of pills

4 - Yes in your case that may be a good idea to help flush out water weight

Adrian Bryant | 04.14.09 - 7:32 pm

I am 49, 4'-11'', 138 pounds and feel I live in the solitary shadow of my former self. Despite being active and healthy I've steadily gained weight since going through early menopause at age 38. It's time to get back to the 104 pounds I felt good/myself at 10 years ago.I'm motivated to start this program hoping to drop weight for my son's college grad. this May 17th.
Questions 1-Any add. info. since I'm considered post menopausal,2- can I continue to use fat free yogurt instead of low-fat, 3-any alternatives to the fat burner pills,teas? and 4-thinking of using the 60 ounces sugar free cranb, dandelion, lemon drink at the same time ok? Thanks! Regards, Diane

70 ounces is about 1 liter

Adrian Bryant | 04.13.09 - 7:30 pm

Hi, I'm having a hard time figuring out how much is 70 ounces of water...since I'm not used to this kind of system. Do know around how many glasses of water it is? Preferably I'd like to have the answer in litre.

thanks again!

Hotaruko | 04.13.09 - 3:03 pm

You're probably better off doing the plan at NowLoss.com/15 because of your height & weight

Adrian Bryant | 04.13.09 - 7:36 pm

I am a 5'10 150 lb female. I am doing hot yoga/ Bikram yoga 4xweek and trying to eat sensibly everyday. I would like to weigh 130-135 lbs. Can I do this on this current plan in 2 months or do I need an additional diet/exercise plan?

Adrian Bryant | 04.13.09 - 1:00 pm

Hi,

I'd like to lose 15 lbs of "fat" (not water, not muscle) "fat" in 40 days. I already workout. (I tri, so I swim, bike, and/or run 5 days a week. I lift at least 3 times a week, but I shoot for 4 times.) The problem is my diet. I'm always hungry and I like food that tastes good. Is there a diet, somewhere, anywhere that can help me? I'll eat anything. (Oh, but I don't like diet pills.)

Thanks,

Jalapeno Hottie

Jalapeno Hottie | 04.13.09 - 9:46 am

Dana B.,

THe machines may be accurate but what I tell people is this...

If you can ramp up the intensity (your heart rate) without any problems (like dizziniess or chest pains) then GO FOR IT! - the more intense you workout = more fat loss quicker!

At your age -your max heart rate is 182 and that's only a guideline and if you can get 178 without any problems - go for it but you do want to be at about 70% of your max heart rate which is 130.

And go here to amazon.com for various heart rate monitors that'll fit your budget and also look at....

How do I know if I'm working out hard enough to lose weight?

Adrian Bryant | 04.11.09 - 8:08 pm

On the machines I am on I reach my maximum heart rate really fast. For example:

I am 38. I get on the Ellyptical and I push level 10 of the 25 levels. I go at about 3.9 for 3 minutes and my hr is about 161. Then I do interval training and I put the level to 15 and I go the same speed....my hr gets to 178 according to the machines.

Should I trust those machines? Should my heart rate be that high?
When I am doing the less intense phase of the interval workout I have to go super slow to get my heart rate back down to 150 within the 180 sec.

Why does my heart rate get that high?

Also, can you recommend a moderately priced heart rate monitor that is reliable for me?

Dana B. | 04.11.09 - 5:08 pm

Dre,

Yes but go to NowLoss.com/rr to gain muscle and lose fat

Adrian Bryant | 04.10.09 - 2:05 pm

Hey s wondering if I could use this protein powder to lose fat and gain muscle because i tried it and i really liked the taste for it. http://www.sixstarmuscle.com/ pro...milkshake.shtml it has some of the same things as whey protein but its different

Dre | 04.10.09 - 1:10 pm

Gi,

#1 - at 108 pounds I doubt you'll be able to lose much weight no matter what weight loss method you use and...

#2 - you need to ask your doctor about weight gain or loss while on meds

Adrian Bryant | 04.09.09 - 9:56 pm

I have a question I am currently 108 lbs and I want to go down to 95 and Im on an anti depression medication. And one of the side effects is weight gain. If i do this diet will it help me from gaining weight?

Gi | 04.09.09 - 8:20 pm

Read rule #3 here about replacing protein

Adrian Bryant | 04.08.09 - 10:16 am

hi, yesterday was my first day on this diet, but drinking the whey protein with water it was really hard for me to swallow. can i drink the whey protein with half a cup of skim milk?? if not then what can i do to replace the protein?

jackie | 04.08.09 - 6:41 am

Darlene,

Your Questions & my answers?

Is my peanut butter considered the other 100-300 calories? - Should I eat more?

YES and only eat up to 300 calories

Potatoes or any of the foods at NowLoss.com/199 are okay as long as you don't go over 300 calories


I usually try to eat fruits in the morning and vegetables in the pm, does it matter? I also thought I needed to watch my carb intake, should I watch certain kinds of fruits or vegetables?

No & No

Adrian Bryant | 04.07.09 - 10:06 pm

Hi Adrian,

I did this plan last year and lost 10 lbs. But I am at 174 and really need to lose 24 lbs within the next 1-2 months. I am starting the plan today. This is what I normally do: 2 fruits/soy protein (GNC) and 2 tbs. natural peanut butter with flax seeds and 2 cups cold water. After that I am not hungry. Is my peanut butter considered the other 100-300 calories?

Should I eat more? Usually in the evening I eat Tilapia or Salmon and sometimes a baked Sweet Potato. Is the potato ok cooked? Or should I substitute it for something else?

I usually try to eat fruits in the morning and vegetables in the pm, does it matter? I also thought I needed to watch my carb intake, should I watch certain kinds of fruits or vegetables?

I really am trying to lose weight and not worry about toning since the last time I could not lose as much because I was lifting weights and the workouts.

Help. I am desperate to lose this weight this time. My goal is to be at 150, I am 5'6" and 52 year old going through menopause.

Darlene | 04.07.09 - 9:50 am

amber,

Kandi,

You're doing nothing wrong and it's only been 4 days but...

Try RAW vegetables like Apples which tend to suppress appetite longer instead of RAW fruit and...

Try natural DRY oatmeal after your fruits/veggies/protein to also suppress appetite and...

What does your workout plan look like?

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.09 - 5:19 pm

I must be doing something wrong. Here it is day 4 and I haven't lost 1 pound. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I eat between 200-300 calories after my fruits and protein, which is most likely a peanut butter sandwich. I still be hungry after 2 hours. I do everything I'm told. PLEASE HELP!!!

Kandi | 04.04.09 - 4:34 am

amber,

Yes - the weider protein shake is good

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.09 - 5:14 pm

amber | 04.03.09 - 9:20 pm

Kandi,

Eat your 0-to-300 calories directly after the fruits and veggies

ADRIAN BRYANT | 04.02.09 - 8:15 am

Can i eat my 0-300 calories an hour or two later or must it be directly after the fruits and veggies? That's my only misunderstanding.

Kandi | 04.01.09 - 11:34 pm

amber

you can replace the protein with another 100 calorie protein source and go to NowLoss.com/199 for the foods you can eat

ADRIAN BRYANT | 04.01.09 - 9:55 pm

You can start off with NowLoss.com/50 for 1-to-2 months and then switch to this diet 4 weeks before wedding

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.09 - 7:53 pm

Hi i have a wedding to go to n i really want to lose 20-30 pounds in 3months...what diet would you recommend me im 5'9 weigh 185...




sexypkgirl@hotmail.com

amber | 04.01.09 - 6:42 pm

Kandi,

Ask as many questions as you want to but...

You always eat 0-to-300 calories after you eat fruit/veggies & protein.

Look at #4 here again

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.09 - 7:51 pm

I thought this was all in my head, but an hour to two hours after I eat my vegetables I'm hungry again. Should I eat then or just eat something else after my fruit and whey shake? I need to know what to do because I'm starting to get headaches 1-2 hours after eating. Please help!

I will probably ask a ton of questions, so I c

Kandi | 04.01.09 - 1:15 pm

Kandi,

1) Your body may get used to it but the point of the raw fruits and veggies + protein is to fill you up preventing hunger causing you to lose weight fast

2) see how to cheat on easter

3)a good weight is the weight that makes you happy - but go here to see what a healthy weight is for you

4) for the fat burners you take - just follow the directions on the manufactor's label

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.09 - 9:10 am

Hey Adrian,

It's me again. Today is day 1 for me. It's kinda difficult eating the 2 raw fruit and to drink a protein shake. I'm full after the first fruit. I have to eat it extremely slowly almost an hour to complete a meal. I have a few more questions:

1. Will my body get used to this?

2. Can I eat a regular dinner for Easter? I know at that point my husband might worry and I don't want to gain any weight back!

3. What exactly is a good weight for my height?

4. Am I suppose to take 2 fat burners at each time or 2 a day?

Kandi | 04.01.09 - 3:52 am

Sabrina,

#1 - if losing 20 pounds isn't an emergency - do another weight loss plan here

#2 - YEs - you can stay on this plan to lose more than 20 pounds if you stay on it longer than 4-6 weeks but look at why VLCD don't work for long for some people

#3 - Just workout at least once a day (twice if you can) that best fits YOUR SCHEDULE.

Adrian Bryant | 03.31.09 - 10:02 am

HHi Adrian, thanks for the site! I work from 12am- 8am and my question is how should I do this workout when my day is the opposite of everyone elses? And also, can I stay on this plan if I want to lose more than 20 pounds? Thanks.

Sabrina | 03.31.09 - 9:52 am

Angela,

Yes - you can do this and exercise for 3 days and exercise will help release water weight

Adrian Bryant | 03.30.09 - 4:46 pm

I am in a weight loss contest at my gym and have lost 18lbs in 12 weeks. I only have 3 days left and want to lose as much as I can these last days, would you recommend following this for me? I am 35 year old woman and weigh 225 as of this morning. Thanks in advance, just want to lose as much as I can to win! I had been so good but had to take prednisone and fell off program for two weeks at beginning of this month. Should I exercise or will that cause my muscles to hold water? Thanks!

Alicia,

NO -those drinks may cause cravings and green tea may be boring but fat burning is fun

Adrian Bryant | 03.29.09 - 5:30 pm

Adrian, Regarding the fluid intake, can I drink my berry, peach and cherry flavored teas? They do not contain sugars. I like green tea, but it gets boring.
P.s. I love this site!

Alicia | 03.29.09 - 1:45 pm

Kandi,

Also see Nowloss.com/p

1) YEs
2) half scoop
3) raw fruit is good but try those veggies as well!
4) don't worry about serving sizes for fruits & veggies as long as you eat at least 2 raw fruits and/or veggies before meals
5) Yes - you can use a multivitamin

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.27.09 - 6:17 pm

I am 25 yrs old, 5'0" and 132 lbs. I live in Germany as a military wife. I have an 18 month daughter. I would like to lose 20 lbs by May 1st. Here in Germany, there are nude beaches that I will be attending around that date. I am trying to reach a goal weight of 110-115 lbs. I try to hit the gym often.To achieve my "perfect" body, I have to lose 20lbs, get a six pack, and gain a big round butt. My goal date of losing 20 lbs is May 1st, but to get a six pack is by July 1st and a bigger butt by August 1st or after the six pack if lost sooner than expected. I will start this plan of losing 20 lbs in 3-4 weeks come April 1st. I just have a bunch of questions:

1. While doing the required workout at home, can I still do an elliptical workout at the gym?
2. I have 2 containers of whey powder in my house. One scoop is 200 calories. Should I use one whole scoop with a reduction in the amount of fruit or use a half of a scoop?
3. I don't like that many raw vegetables, but I love fruit. Can I have ANY fruit, just as long as it's not canned or dried?
4. What would be considered a serving size in strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cantaloupes, watermelons and other similar fruit?
5. When eating cucumbers, should I get minis or english cucumbers?
6. can I take a multivitamin along with the fat burner, Hydroxycut?

If I have any more questions, I ask later.

ramscarface14@hotmail.com | 03.27.09 - 6:02 am

tabatha,

It depends - how much weight would you have to lose to be a size 14? and how tall are you?

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.27.09 - 6:13 pm

i am sorry, let me explain myself. I work 3rd shift, and I am 229lbs, wearing a size 18 in pants. I want to be a size 14 by may 22. That gives me 55 days. If this goal possilbe... I go to the gym 5 days a week. I am now starting not only your diet plan but your workout plan as well. The trainer at the gym said i was setting my goals to high in to short of a time. What do you think???

tabatha | 03.27.09 - 3:33 am

Maria.roenker,

For this diet - you are supposed to eat 0-to-300 calories after the fruit/veggie + protein so NO...

if you're not hungry - don't eat and that' what the fiber from veggies and fruit do + protein = less hunger and faster weight loss and...

To prevent starvation mode or fat storage - I recommend only 4 weeks max on this diet plan but...

Go here to see if you may be able to say on it longer than 4 weeks

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 9:56 am

I have started the plan with eating 2 raw fruit/veggies and 1 scoop of protein. After that, I am just not hungry. I am making sure to eat every 3-4 hours. I want to lose 60 pounds by August. My question is: after I eat the fruit/veggies and scoop of protein, do I HAVE to eat more calories in order to actually LOSE weigh or is this a sufficient amount to eat to lose what I want to by August? I am exercising regularly also. I just don't want my body to "store fat" due to lack of calories so I can reach my goal weight in time. No one can seem to give me a straight answer on this, so I am hoping you can help me

Maria.roenker@yahoo.com | 03.22.09 - 6:54 pm

chrissygarcia,

losing 20 pounds in 4 months is good!! and before you do this diet plan - I would stick with the current plan you are on and go here for ways to speed up your weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 03.25.09 - 8:46 pm

Hi. I am 33 yrs old 5'3 190 lbs. I had a baby 4 months ago and have been doing weight watchers and cardio 4x a week and have only lost 20 pounds in 4 months. I am feeling very discouraged and would like to get 40 pounds off in a hurry for summertime. I am going to give this a try and hoping for the best. I just want to make sure that I do this correctly. Are there certain fruits or vegs I should avoid? Also for the 0-300 calorie meal are there restrictions? I am desperate!!

Chrissy: chrissygarcia31@gmail | 03.25.09 - 3:09 pm

josephine,

Don't count any RAW fruits & veggies on daily calorie intake

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.25.09 - 8:35 am

hello, i'm just wondering if i still have to count fruits and vegetables on my daily caloric intake.

josephine | 03.24.09 - 9:43 pm

Angela,

You are doing nothing wrong and the 2 pounds is probably a slight muscle gain from exercise -Good job!

Look at number 12 here

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 10:30 am

Adrian,
I have been following this plan for a week now and lost 9 lbs! I have been exercising every day, too. I have a lot of weight to lose (50 lbs) but I have a party coming up in April and wanted to lose some of my weight fast to look good in my dress. My problem is that I haven't changed anything in the past 2 days but I have gained 2 pounds. Am I doing something wrong? Is my body revolting? I am not taking the fat burners, as I just feel uneasy about them.

Angela | 03.23.09 - 10:13 am

check out NowLoss.com/rr

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 9:57 am

Yo, I'm 14, a little over 5'7 and weigh about 164 pounds. I'm athletic, and always wanted to lose weight and build muscle for sports and of course the beach (summer coming soon!) Just wanted to know what i should do at my age, and i can't really eat specific 'special' foods like protein stuff at school. Any tips would be cool.

thanks, number2

Steven,

Depending on your goals - One cheat day won't set you back too much

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.21.09 - 2:24 pm

Im kind of ashamed but do you think all the exercise and my low intake of fat prior helped me out or did this set me back?

Steven | 03.20.09 - 5:36 pm

Steven,

Are the slices over 300 calories?

If yes = NO

If no = YES

Adrian Bryant | 03.20.09 - 4:19 pm

Im having Pizza tonight and was wondering how many slices I should have because I dont want to ruin my diet.

Thanks again Adrian!

Steven | 03.20.09 - 10:06 am

Steven,

Not really but Peanut Butter and Nuts already have enough healthy fats in them

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 8:46 pm

Should I worry about how much of healthy fats I have since Im on the low calorie diet?

Im eating Peanut Butter and Nuts mostly.

Steven | 03.18.09 - 4:44 pm

Jewels,

All of your answers can be found by re-reading #2-thru-4 here again but...

You can substitue whey with another source of protein and you eat 0-to-300 calories each meal AFTER you had your veggies & protein.

If you have more questions - just post some more

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 8:46 pm

briost4,

YEs...

You can eat 1 serving of a raw fruit and 1 serving of a raw veggie or...

You could eat all fruit or all veggie

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 9:01 am

Hey, for the lose 20 pds in 3-4 weeks plan, you say to eat 2 raw fruit and/or 2 raw veggie before a meal. Well is that 2 servings of raw fruit and 2 servings of raw veggies? Or 1 serving of a raw fruit and 1 serving of a raw veggie? And could I do all fruit or all veggie, or do I have to eat one from each group? thanks for the info.

briost4@hotmail.com | 03.18.09 - 2:29 am

Steven,

Canned vegetables is okay and only have about 100 calories worth of nuts before meals for protein - See #3 again

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.17.09 - 10:56 pm

I Dont have fruits or veggies around the house. All I have is canned veggies.

Should I go ahead and have that or is there an alternative to the fruits and vegatables?

Also, how many Nuts should I have before every meal?

Steven | 03.17.09 - 6:41 pm

Nicole,

Since you only have a little over 10 pounds to lose - go to NowLoss.com/15 or NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 03.16.09 - 7:26 pm

Hi Adrian,

I'm a 21 year old female and I'm about 5'5 and weigh 156. I would like to slim down in time for summer, so I was wondering what my ideal healthy weigh should be. My personal goal is 140. Most of my problems come from overeating and too much fast food consumption due to a busy life style. I think this site is wonderful and I have already picked up so many great tips, I would like to know what tips I should focus on to reach my goal. And oh yeah, is there a good substitution for the protein drinks?

Thank you so much!!!

Nicole | 03.16.09 - 4:58 pm

Desiree H,

Go back and read step #4 here again

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.15.09 - 2:16 pm

Hi i just stared this diet and have been eating the two fruits and veggies before meals and drinking the whey protien before each meal however after all that i really dont want to eat anymore is there a special amount i have to eat after that like what would be the least i can eat and still lose weight? I am 21 years old 5'7 and 220lbs please help thanks!!

Desiree H | 03.13.09 - 10:22 pm

Desmond,

The protein bar will work and you just eat the veggies/fruit right before your meal

Adrian Bryant | 03.13.09 - 5:54 pm

This site is awesome and really inspiring to say the least! Can I substitute the protien drink for a protien bar? Also how far in advance to I need to eat my raw fruits/veggies before my meal?

Thanks

Desmond | 03.13.09 - 8:09 am

jeremyscott4

It's not unrealistic but truthfully...

The fast weight loss will slow down and I don't know when that'll happen for you so...

Look at why VLCD don't work for everybody

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.11.09 - 8:06 pm

So on Feb 21 I weighed 251 pounds. Something traumatic happened and I couldnt eat for a week, since then I have eaten nothing but raw fruit, egg whites, and boiled chicken breast to the tune of 600 calories a day. Ive lost 22 pounds so far(im 5 ft 10).
Im moving back to my home town in July, I if stay on this strict diet- is it unrealistic to be down to 180 by then???

jeremyscott4@msn.com | 03.11.09 - 12:41 am

sarah,

Go here to prevent overeating

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.11.09 - 8:04 pm

Hi Adrian,

I'm a 21 year old female. I'm 5'6 and weigh about 155 lbs. I would like to lose 15 to 20 lbs (or more) in the next 1 to 1 1/2 months. I typically workout using a rowing machine for 30 mins 4 days a week. I'm struggling, though, with overeating. I really want to lose weight by summer and need a plan I can stick to! Any suggestions would be helpful...THANKS!

sarah | 03.10.09 - 10:14 pm

Dee,

My best advice is for you to go here and see for yourself what you're able to do and/or...

Go here and watch this video and see if you can do a hand bike to avoid hurting your legs and btw...

Good job on losing 57 pounds!

Adrian Bryant | 03.08.09 - 5:47 pm

Your site is great.I have been overweight most of my life and after breaking my leg I gained 91 pounds.I didn't think I could lose weight because I am over 50 but I got protein powder and tried your plan.So far I loss 57 pounds!! I want to exercise but I am afraid jumping will be bad for my legs. Can you suggest any exercises that might be good for me.I walk 2 miles per day now. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Dee | 03.08.09 - 2:07 pm

AARON,

Digestive enzyme supplements could help but YES - the bloating and gas will go away over time because your body still has to get use to all the extra fiber you're eating

Adrian Bryant | 03.07.09 - 11:10 pm

Feedback:
I feel great and full and satisfied, not like other diets where I am hungry all the time, and the plus is that it is forcing me to grocery shop and cook more healthy for my wife and children.

Also one more question...any suggestions about the difficulty in digesting raw vegetables? Will the bloating, gas and mild stomach aches subside over time? What do you think about digestive enzyme supplements?

AARON | 03.06.09 - 1:20 pm

AARON,

Once a week is fine.

will this work for me?

Rochelle | 03.03.09 - 10:25 pm

Sarah,

YES - you can lose 20 pounds without the fat burners and the only time a fat burner may be neccesary is if you're not overweight because if you're not overweight...

You'll be losing weight at a slower rate

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.27.09 - 12:58 pm

Hello. Is it necessary to use some sort of fat burner for this plan? do I still lose 20 pounds within 3-4 weeks if i dont use a fat burner?

Thankyou.

I work two jobs, and work in a hospital were i am constantly running around, and i do take the stairs atleast twice a day from 1st to 5th floor. But excersise is hard to fit in with my very hectic scheduale. But i'd really like to loose the weight asap... so i really need a plan with the quickest results. Any advice??? HELP!!!

anitra,

See number 3 again about protein...


" * 1 scoop of whey protein or Soy protein is about 100 calories and if you don't like drinking whey or soy protein...

* Then you can eat another 100 calorie source of protein like small cans of tuna or chicken or a some nuts."

Adrian Bryant | 02.25.09 - 7:18 pm

Hi..I am 204 pounds and want to lose 30 pounds..I recently purchased the soy protein and it states to use it twice a day and the plans to use it 5 times a day..also Ive heard never to drink cold water...I want to lose weight but confused as to what to do....

anitra | 02.24.09 - 9:21 pm

sophie,

You need to focus on doing the plan at NowLoss.com/50 instead

Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:48 pm

Hi, im 18 and weigh 196 pounds. I want to weigh 161 pounds if i did the lose 20lb in 3-4 weeks plan, would i still be able to lose the rest at 2lb a week?
I also don't really want to take diet pills, but would you still have the same weigh loss of 20lb if you dont take them?
Also, is it ok to mix the protein shake in milk? It has 80 calories a scoop and 17g of protein...is it too much protein a day if your having 4 scoops of it?
thanx

sophie | 02.22.09 - 12:39 pm

Jacqueline | 02.21.09 - 4:06 pm

Ashleigh,

Yes it's safe but just to let you know... Not taking the pills will NOT cause you to NOT lose any weight so really...

YOU CAN LOSE LOTS OF WEIGHT WITHOUT THE PILLS

Adrian Bryant | 02.17.09 - 5:20 pm

Is this a safe diet for a 17 year old to do with the diets pills?

Ashleigh | 02.16.09 - 10:48 pm

mailynpacuba,

You & your mom need to consult with a doctor on that issue and...

She doesn't need to do this weight loss plan unless it's an emergency where she needs to lose lots of weight fast like before a wedding...

So have her do one of the Permanent weight loss plans here and also consult a doctor to make sure it's safe for her to do

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.13.09 - 8:08 am

Hi. My mom is diabetic [no insulin just pills] and she is 59. She is 145 and wants to go back down to 125. Can she do this 20 lbs in 4 weeks diet and can she do any exercises?

Thanks!

mailynpacuba@yahoo.com | 02.12.09 - 11:48 pm

Cheryl,

It seems to me you're already sort of an athlete so...

This is a better weight loss plan for you

Adrian Bryant | 02.10.09 - 11:59 pm

I really struggle with losing weight, I see a trainer three times a week for 30 min and I also follow a strict running schedule for marathons and half marathons I compete in. I weigh 178 and am 5'5 and should weigh 138 at the most. I admit my eating habits are not great so which program would be the best for me and what kind of results should I expect if I stick with it. I would really like to be down 30 to 40 pounds by June is this possible?

Cheryl | 02.10.09 - 8:04 pm

Shirley,

have you seen this list of weight loss foods

#1073
I am 23 years old and over the last 4 1/2 yrs I gained about 85-90 pounds. Now I weigh 229 pounds. My ideal weight for my body shape is 150-155 (I'm 5'9). I am taking a military fitness course 4 or 5 times a week, b/c I think that's the only way I will be able to get the most training and exercise, but I don't really know what to eat. I eat fruits all the time like crazy. Is this okay? And with a busy class schedule I can't keep up the 6 meals a day routine.

I have to lose weight by April, (May the latest) for my career(CRJ). Please help, I need to lose the weight, but I need food that I will like too? (Btw hate milk). Email is: MMart1@brockport.edu

Shirley |   02.09.09 - 1:47 pm

Mecca,

A piece of fruit before workout is fine but look at this here and it might change your mind

turkey bacon is fine and..

you don't need carb block pills esp. if you're eating veggies and fruits for fiber and...

Everything else is fine but... don't do the apple juice all the time and only drink the juice for 1-2 of your meals and actually eat an apple or another fruit/veggie the other 2 meals

#1071

Is it ok to have 8oz of apple juice (no sugar added type ) or light soy milk with the whey protein; instead of water and yield the same results?

I currently use whey protein, 8 oz juice, strawberries and blue berries...is it ok to continue this?

I have been using carb block pills...do you have any opnions about this
You mentioned no bacon on the AVOID foods..does that include turkey bacon?


No food before your morning workout?..not even a pc of fruit?

I am currently eating 2 regular healthy sized meals (breakfast and diner) and eating fruits and vegtibles in between. I am drinking only water (about 6-8 glasses a day) and working out about 1 hour of cardio a day. Any tips? If a continue with this plan, how much weight could i expect to loose in a month? Should i change anything i am doing. I am also taking green tea extract pills twice a day before my main meals. THANK YOU! your site has been the only site with detailed information. Please help me if you can. It's time for a change in my life.

Hello,
I just came across your site yesterday. Im 20 years old, 5'3-5'4 and 155lbs. Id like to lose weight fast because im planning on going to job interviews soon. I started this diet yesterday afternoon and plan to stay on it until I get the results I want. But when I do lose 20 lbs or so, whats the best way to keep it off? I live in Japan and didnt really have a problem with my weight until I went back to the US for a couple weeks hahaha. And, between fruits and vegtables, which will help my metabolism more?

Christine,

Yes - please adjust and use 1/2 a scoop

#1059
Adrian,

Thanks for the fast response time. Just one more quick question. The soy protein I'm using is the EAS brand and it says it's 180 calories per scoop, should I adjust to make it 100 calories or stick with a whole scoop. At this point I'm barely hungry after the shake if at all.

Thanks again.

Christine | 02.05.09 - 5:34 pm
#1058

Christine,

Yes - eating before bed is okay.

Although eating before bed may have a disadvantage because you eat and then sleep while your metabolism slows down...

It's really all about how much you eat & exercise that truly matters for weight loss

#1057
I'm finding it hard to eat 4 meals a day. Does it matter if the 4th meal is RIGHT before bed? I have had baby carrots, grapes and the soy protein nothing more. It's hard to fit in the 4 meals otherwise as I am working nights. I woke up around 10, took a Hydroxycut and worked out. I didn't get done with my workout until 11:30 and ate my first meal around noon, thus putting my last meal before bed.

Can I lose if I am doing Tae-bo and working out 5 days a week? I do Tae-bo, cardio and working my upper and lower 5 days a week.

Even if it is not fast weight loss, I want to lose. Should I only do this diet for 4 weeks and then do something esle?

Thank you,

ray,
You're doing fine but just make sure only do this diet no more than 3-to-4 weeks

#1051

Hi Adrian,
I want to say that your program really works 4 me !! yay
I'm only doing my diet and exercise 2 times a day for 3 days but now whenever I go outside some people look twice to me XD
I noticed a slight difference in my cheeks which is not so chubby anymore and my stomach seems a bit leaner. My body weight is still the same (just slight 1 kg loss, could be water weight), so I wonder if I build some muscle too. Well, its just 3 days but I really believe this program will give me tremendous result in the end!

Currently, I eat 4 times but before eating "the main course" I always take my protein shake and eat a carrot/ an apple. my "main course" consist of 2 or 3 eggs (white only, half boiled), 100 grams of canned tuna, and oatmeal. By eating this only my stomach is already satisfied. I also take CLA for my lunch and dinner.
So I eat around 8-12 white eggs. Is this okay? And I mainly focused in losing fat, is this kind of calorie restriction not dangerous to my health? since I want to lose fat fast
btw, I still planning to do HIIT 5-7 times a week without any weight training. That HIIT is really tough, but I kinda addicted to it. I feel refreshed after the hard work.
Really, I just need to lift my lazy ass off my chair in front of the computer and do some workout and the rest is easy.

Thanks a lot. Nice to know you and your website ^^

Hello! I'm 42 yrs old (today!), 217 lbs, 5' 7.5", and I'm on meds for high blood pressure. I'll be taking all of your advice to lose 20 lbs in 2-4 weeks and based on what you've outlined, I should be able to do it.

I see you have links to particular fat-burning products. What is your professional opinion of Tight Fem? This is a product I was going to buy anyway and then I found your site.

Hi Adrian,
I'm 5'10", 165 pounds. and waist 36 inches. I want to reduce my waist line to 30 inches in shortest time possible (say, 1 month). Is that even possible?

I'm ready to do heavy aerobic workout, since I have a lot of stamina. So I'm planning to do HIIT for 30 min, 2 times a day, 5-7 times a week on stationary bike (since treadmill doesn't allow me to change pace quickly). Is that good or just foolish?
I'm still 20 years old

Thanks a lot

Let me start off by saying I am so happy I found this site. I am getting married in 3 months and I am dying to look HOT! I have lost 8 lbs. and I am getting ready to start this diet plan. Would it still be okay to start the diet without taking the pills? I have about 15-20 lbs to lose...is that possible in 3 months? Thanks for help and time! I appreciate it!

#1041
Yeah this is my first diet. I have always eaten healthy and exercise has always been a part of my life but over the last few years I just keep gaining no matter what I do. I am a little worried and confused. I didn't try any diets because I wasn't too worried because I didn't look as much as the scale said but now I am at 200lbs and really don't want to climb the scale any higher. I would like to get to 140 but I know that is a long term goal I really just want to get below the 200 mark and stay below it

Hi Adrian
I am 36, 5'8 and weigh 180lbs. I am normally a curvy 130-140lb but I gained 40lb after being stuck for in bed for 16 weeks after a major operation last June. I didn't eat lots of junk food during that time either. I'm a working musician and I have to begin a tour on 20th April...I've been told I've got to get back in shape by then or else! My doctor has cleared me fit and healthy now so what do you suggest? I'd like to be down to 126lb by then if possible. I'm quite hard working and I have lots of equipment at home. My mini trampoline is my favorite aerobics activity as I have bad knees. Do you think I can lose 45-60lbs in twelve weeks?

Psss...This site is a wonderful gift! Most fitness gurus would be charging a fortune for this information and here you are giving your knowledge and time to us for free. Thank you and I sincerely hope & pray that you are blessed everyday in every way as you are obviously a very beautiful human being.

#1 - if you're only 15 pounds overweight then you can't really expect to lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks on any weight loss plan and...

#2 - if you're more concerned with toning - you need to hang out more at these body sculpting pages here

I am approximately 15 lbs overweight. My weight isn't what I'm so concerned about as I am being toned. I have a lot of muscle because I am a dancer. Do I need to do more weights?

You're right - you should be losing SOME weight so let's double check some things.

What's your diet history - is this your first attempt at losing weight? because a low calorie diet may not work for you...

Look at why VLCD's don't work for some people here and then look at # 7 here to speed up metabolism again but...

If this isn't your first time dieting - disregard this advice go here and look at other reasons why you can't lose weight and...

Please contact me again so we can BOTH figure this out and help you lose weight

Hi Adrian. Great site..

I'm 32, 5'4", 140 lbs; 25lb gain 3 years ago & can't go back down. Been working out at gym 3x per week doing 60min classes for about a month. I lose 1-3 lbs any given week & then go right back up. Main weakness is a can of coca-cola a day.

I have an event in 3 weeks & would like to get to 125-130lbs for event with flat belly but not lose weight off buttocks & breasts.

Is this reasonable? possible? What do you recommend?

I want to lose 20 lbs in 3-4 weeks and I have already started the 7 things. I do not always have time to exercise in little intervals during the day. Traditionally, I work out for about a 1.5 or 2 hrs a day...or at least 4 times a week.

The best advice I can give you is to go here to get motivated to lose weight and to show your boyfriend he made a big mistake

#1027

Hi,
I'm a 19 year old female who weighs about 160 lbs. and is 5'7". A month ago my ex-boyfriend broke up with me and I would really like to show him that he made a HUGE mistake. My goal is to weigh about 135 lbs. in about a month and a half. My only problem is that for some reason I can't find enough motivation to start exercising and even if I do start, I quickly give up, thinking that its too hard and not seeing any results fast enough. Even though most of my fat is stored around my midsection, I would like to tone my whole body as well as flattening my stomach.

Could you please help me?
Thank you.

Tim,

Go here to learn about rules of starvation mode but...

For your weight - you should be able to get away with 6 weeks and...

Your exercise is fine and go here for another good 10 minitue workout at home

#1025

I'm a male, 6' 0" and weight about 255. I haven't exercised in years and have a desk job (at home, working online)

I started this today and am planning on staying on it for 6 weeks to see how much I can lose.

For my workouts, I'm walking for 20 minutes before breakfast, working out on the bowflex twice per week and doing 3 more 10 minute workouts throughout the day, 10 min each. (intervals, 10 minute trainer dvd). I also plan on doing a stretching routine 5 times per week. Time is not an issue, my time is my own.

My questions are... Is 6 weeks too long for me to stay on this diet? How will I know if I go into starvation mode? Am I doing the right type of exercises?

Thanks

The smoothies are fine and 1 serving could be a head of broccli or at least a half head of brocclii

#1021
I don't have a problem eating a lot of raw fruits and veggies but I'm wondering what actually constitutes one serving of vegetables. Do I actually want to eat an entire head of broccoli or cauliflower (or an entire cucumber, etc) and call it one vegetable?

Also, I like to have green smoothies made of one piece of fruit, lots of raw greens (lettuce, kale or collards) blended with ice water. Would that work as well before each meal?

I was just wondering about the significance of the whey protein. I started to diet about 5 days ago i have lost about 5lbs witch i am thrilled about but during those five days i didn't follow the diet directly. i didn't exercise it was a busy weekend, i didn't eat much either. but now i want to start this and follow it perfectly. I think the 5ilbs was water weight. anyway its seems like the protein might just be an extra 400 cals per day. will it speed up my metabolism or what. will i loose more without it? Please help my sister is having an engagement party on the feb 14th and i want to look hot. thanks.

Tiffany S.,

If you eat weight loss foods and drink spring water then you really won't need to colon cleanse because you'll end up doing it naturally that way and go here for upper body strength and if you need to lose weight ASAP...

this is the best plan for you

I would like to lose the weight as soon as possible because I am going to try to be a Deputy Sheriff and I need to get in shape. I also need more upper body strength.

im a 13 year old girl, 5'5, and i currently weigh 145 pounds. My ideal weight is 120 pounds. Does this diet reealllly work??

Also, recently I noticed I have a rather small hip frame, but you can't tell because I have a lot of fat on my hips. Also, my inner and outter upper theighs are kind of flabby. Is there a way I can get rid of this? I know I'm not terribly fat but i want to lose weight!!!

Will I be able to lose ALL of my extra weight? or is that impossible? More than anything, I want a diet that is EASY to follow because I don't know how to measure "500 klm of protein" or what ever and EASY to stick to! Is there a way to lose it in 3 months?? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!!!

I just want to know about what your website instructed us to do the fast weight loss workout #1 only 3 to 4 times a week. Can I do more than 3 to 4 times a week because I'm in a hurry to lose weight. I want to do the fast weight loss workout everyday. Why can we do this exercise only 3 to 4 times a week? Will doing the exercise everyday harm our body? I just want to know.

Thanx,

Sandi B.,

You're on the right track and for your off weeks...

Make sure you look at how to cheat and still lose weight

#991

Hi Adrian,

I finally got myself and my girlfriend motivated to lose weight! We are both 24, I'm 5'5" and 260#, She's 5'8" 280#. We started your 20# in 3-4 weeks plan 2 days ago and I just wanted to make sure we are doing everything right.
We both work night shift so it was tricky to make a time table so I'll just run through our day with you.
6pm- we wake up take a green tea suplement (just a regular one)
6:30-7pm- We do a moderate-high intensity work out usually what ever is on 'on demand' eg. Jillian from biggest loser's 30 shred, p90x, etc.
7pm- We drink our whey protein (yuk! ha ha)eat two raw fruits or veggies and a small meal 100-300 calories.
11pm- As soon as we get to work we drink the whey, eat our fruit and veggies and eat a small meal if we are hugry.
2am- Take our green tea sup., and repeat the steps above.
5am- whey, F&Vs, meal
7:30am-8am- When we get home we do a Low itensity workout, usually yoga, or 'walking in your home, or tai-chi.
8am-Bed time

In your opinon are we on the right track? If not what would you recomend? I was hoping to do this program until I lost at least 60# by cycling off and on, eg. 3 weeks on, 1 week off. 4weeks on, 2 weeks off, 4 weeks on, 1 weeks off, 3 weeks on 2 weeks off. on the off weeks the only thing that would change is the whey, the raw veggies, and we would gradually raise the calories/day but the meal times would stay consistant and of course we couldn't pig out on junk food. Would that work?
Sorry this is so long!
THANK YOU and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Henrene B.

As for protein -look at #2 again & read carefully - You don't have to use just protein shakes - you eat protein foods also and YES...

You can mix your fruit in your protein shakes but try to eat some raw veggies as well

#989

Hello,

I regards to the Whey and Soy Protien Drinks; can any type of protien drink be consumed? If Whey and Soy are not to my liking as long as I drink a protien drink with water only can this substitute? Also, can my fruit be mixed in the protein drink instead of eating it raw? Thank you so much

#987
Hi! I am a 53 year old female that has absolutely no motivation to exercise. I am about 50 lbs over weight and because of depression and low self esteem issues, I feel very ashamed of myself for looking the way I do. I want so desperately to lose weight but feel it is impossible at my age! People have always said I look like I'm actually in my 30's. I would love to look in the mirror and see what they see, but I can't! Please, please help me!!!!

Frank,

It's best you take a longer term approach and do this weight loss plan here and as for exercise...

Are you able to use a SCI-FIT hand bike? I use these bikes myself to burn at and NO...

you won't get flabby around the stomach because you'll be losing flab anyway but what I do suggest you do is...

Go to my body sculpting page here and see what if any of my exercises you can do

#985

Hi Adrian

First let me say that I'm extremely EXCITED to have found you.

Ok, Here is my QUESTION!

I am Disabled, I've been in a wheelchair for over 20 years because of a stupid car jack. I have Excellent upper strength, My arms are perfect. I'm just dead weight I guess you can say from the chest and below. (T8 section) spinal cord injury. I'm going to be 43 and I'm am obese, My weight is at about 280 and all around the belly.

I see a lot of treadmills and I wish I could run on them but because I'm on this wheelchair Can't do.

Do you think I can do this diet that you explain in your 6 steps???

I know that I have to eat 3 t0 4 times per day to speed up my metabolism, but also my concern is How can I do exercises? Dumbbells? I do want to build Muscle too, Won't I get flabby around my stomach?

Do you think you can help me out, tell me what should I do?



Thank you so much!

Jane,

for this fast weight loss plan here...

All you need to worry about is RULE #3 for calorie intake which says...

"Depending on how hungry you are (based on scale of 1-to-10 with 1 being satisfied and 10 being real hungry) you're going to eat 0-to-300 more calories of these kinds of weight loss foods and you're going to avoid these bad foods"

So read Rule #3 or number 3 again because since this is an emergency weight loss plan...

You're not really eating the same BASE amount of calories everyday - you're just eating based on how hungry you are.

#983
Thanks so much for your help. I'm also wondering what my max. cal intake in food should be for each day in order to stick to this diet as my main action to lose some weight? How can I figure that out?

Jane | 12.21.08 - 1:02 am
#982

k. kumar mali,

You don't have to use whey or soy - You can eat other protein foods instead if you wish and...

Weight loss drugs or pills really aren't neccessary if you're overweight because overweight people lose weight easily anyway and...

The best exercises are weight loss intervals or other High intentsity exercises

#981
i hope you remember me from yesterday what i want to know is how essentials it is to use soy or whey protein or is their alternatives to these what about boiled chicken etc. another question is about drugs wut do u think regarding using subutramin or orlestat. wut exercise would u recommend to be with the greatest effect.i hav many other questions too but i do appreciate ur time and i really bcumin ur fan

Jane,

You may be able to lose your first 10-to-15 pounds fast on this plan here but

You'll need to get active to lose your last 10 pounds and as you lose weight - you'll lose fat off your thighs, bum and stomach and...

You can still go here to tone up most of your body even though your leg is broken but...

Since diet may be your main weapon instead of being active because of a broken leg - you may want to adopt a higher protein + raw vegetable thermogenic type of a diet where at least half or 3/4 of your meals are mostly protein (meat, nuts, shakes, beans, etc) and veggies and a few meals with protein, complex carbs, and veggies.

See all the weight loss foods here

#979
I'm 22, 5"4 and 155 lbs. I need to lose 25 lbs by the end of January. I have a broken foot and have been less active in a walking cast, and am less hungry and find it hard to eat more than two meals a day. Please help me with how I can lose this weight in time. I also need to lose specifically on my thighs, bum and stomach and tone up.

Alexandra,

try to exercise or be active as much as you can without stressing your knees too much so...

you can try things like riding a bike or even a bike where you just use your arms (like a Pro-2 from Sci-Fit) and...

What about the elliptical? - that's a non-impact machine that puts no stress on your knee and...

Look at fast weight loss tip #1 - can you at least do a lot of mini 10 minute INTENSE workouts during the day?

Look at this weight loss plan here for losing a lot of weight permanently and remember...

It's not that you have to exercise - you just have to find ways to be more active and the more active you are along with eating right = the faster you'll lose weight

#971
Hello,
Im 20, 5’7”, and I weigh about 180. About 5 months ago, I had surgery on my right knee and even though I can do some exercises, after about a half hour its hard to even stand up. I would like to lose about 40lbs before March. Is there a way to lose that amount of weight by then without exercising too much? Are there exercises that I could do that wouldn’t cause too much stress on my knee?
Thank you for your help.

Alana K,

All you need to do is reverse the bad eating & lifestlye habits taht made you gain 20 pounds which simply means...

Hi, I was wondering what exactly I should do/change to lose my freshmen 15. I Actually gained about 20 pounds or so since September (its December now)
and I am only 5'3'', and I used to weigh about 120 pounds, and now I probably way somewhere between 130 and 140 pounds.

Is their a specific kind of protein you're allergic to because all foods have some trace amounts of protein in it and is it just "ICE" cold water you're allergic to?

danielle,

YES!

and if yo have time swim in the morning and again in the evening.

Hello Adrian, Thank you for this informative site, you are really changing peoples lives. I am a 38 year old women, this is the largest I have ever been. I have no health problems because I at least try to stay active. I wish to lose at least 50 pounds and become leaner. I have a new gym membership, I use my taebo tapes. I feel I am getting bulkier, what am I doing wrong? What should I eat? I do have whey protein. What exercises should I do to get leaner. My arms are really bulky. I want to tone my whole body. My true concern is not for vanity, I wish to maintain good health. As I understand maintaining a healthy weight will benefit good health at any age. Thank You Adrian

Hi!
I'am 6'2" and i weigh 275 pounds, i cannot hit the gym right now due to finals. I really want to follow the diet. for this one month, and then by the end of december, i would hit the gym 2 times a day, and from feb onwards i can do gym 5 days a week. but i want to lose 20 pounds by the end of december. will this work? what do you think?
and for fat burners im using Hydroxicut. is it okay? without working out? what do u recommend? will this work?

Luke,

do this exercise for bigger triceps and do this for bigger biceps

#953
Well triceps or biceps would be best for me to be working right now I would think since i have a fractured ankle at the moment and to see results on my abs or chest i would need to lose a bit of weight first.

Luke | 12.04.08 - 4:37 pm
#952

Luke,

How about this...

Tell me which muscles you would like to see quick results for and I see if I have a workout for it that will give you quick results

#951

Hi Adrian,

I have tried to get in shape many times and I always seem to give up because i do not see any results even though i know it takes a while to see any. I was just wondering what exercise or muscle will show the quickest result and how long does it usually take, because i think if i see some results I will not give up so easy.

Thanks for your time.

Jullllllz,

You'll just have to make arrangements and/or sacrifices in your daily sched. at school to make this diet work for you.

#949
How would you work this plan in with a school day? I'm willing to wake up at 5 AM (leave to school at 6 AM) to do a work out but I don't know how much effort I'll put in.

Kimeyone,

You'd have to do calve exercises + be on a muscle gaining diet that included whey protein/regular protein to get bigger calf muscles

#947

Hi Adrian
I have large calves and they seem pretty muscular and I was wondering if the whey protien would increase muscle size? I don't want to look muscular I want to lose about 30 pounds and look slender but toned.

Hi Adrian,

I am really excited to start this tomorrow! I enjoyed your video.

I am 5'2 and weigh 150lbs, 30% body fat,
I am looking to lose some pounds and tone up before vacation in early January.

Could you give me some suggestions and perhaps a sense of how much I will lose (weight or inches) before then or what type of changes I will see in my body?

I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Hi Adrian,

#939
Hi! I have decided TODAY that I need to lose about 90 pounds. I know, I know. I was never this big, so why did I let it get out of hand? I dont know. My question is this. If I find that I have signiicant results from this plan (which by the way sounds WONDERFUL and I can not wait to try it out) can I continue this plan until I reach my weight loss goal? I am 5'7" and shhhhhhhh...... dont tell anyone, 220 pounds. I ultimately want to get to 130 pounds and tone. I am starting this plan tomorrow and am SUPER excited about it. Also, my husband tells me that I should not use they whey or soy protein (this is my husband telling me this, not a dr) as they are used to "bulk people up." True? False? One more thing. What about trimspa or hydroxycut for the fat burner? Thank you so much for motivating me to do something about my weight. I know that I can do it with this plan and will be around to see my children grow up and have children of their own. Oh wait, one last thing. Is it feasable that I will lose the 20 lbs in 3-4 weeks, and will that continue if I do and continue the plan or will I plateau, in your opinion. Thanks again

Melissa | 11.30.08 - 9:25 pm

sumaya,

Look at step #2 here again

you can eat another 100 calorie source of protein like small cans of tuna or chicken or a some nuts if you don't like whey protien

Before I can give you a diet & workout plan we both have to figure out WHY you can't lose weight so go here and look at why you can't lose weight and also look at ways to break out of a weight loss plateau

If you do this first it will greatly increase your chances of losing weight

Dear Sir
Iam 31,5 feet 6 inches tall and I weigh 11 stones 4.5 lbs.
I have tried many diets and to my disappointment I haven't been able to even shift 1lb.
My metabolism is very slow,my weight doesnot show in any other area apart from my tummy.
I weighed 10 stones 18 months ago, due to hectic lifestyle and bad eating I have put on weight,now I am trying hard to lose it but it isn't working.
I do 45 mins workout in gym 4 times a week,eat 3 small meals a day,drink 2 litres of water a day,but it doesn't seem to work. As I am getting married in end of Jan 09,I would like to lose 20 pounds in 7 weeks.I feel v depressed due to my inability to lose weight.
Could you please advise a diet and work out plan, I will be very grateful.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

#932

Tanisha,

Give me more info like...

What's your weight & height?

Are you following the diet exactly as laid out?

what diets did you try before this one?

Are you exercising?

And you should always look at why I can't lose weight first and another thing...

Are you looking better since you started this diet? if so... then that's a sure sign you're gaining good looking muscle and you have nothing to worry about

#931
I have been on this diet for two weeks now and I have not lost any weight. Any suggestions?

Tanisha | 11.26.08 - 11:10 am
#930

SWEETIE,

I don't think you have anything to be scared of about #2 and for green tea...

I would stop drinking it if it days it has 1g carbs & 0 calories because that's a red flag right there.

11g of carbs has 4 calories in it so they may be hiding something form you and I'm biased against all these gimmicky commerical green tea "juice" drinks anyway.

#929
Adrian, I have a big problem. Not to be disgusting or anything but since I eat 4-5 smaller meals a day should'nt I be going to the bathroom more often. I didnt do number 2 for 3 days. Im scared... What can I do? Thank you Adrian!!

Adrian,To better help me in my weight loss here is some info. About the LIPTON Green Tea.. the INGREDIENTS: green tea, hibiscus flower, chamomile flowers, cinnamon, citric acid, licorice root, lemon peel, roasted chicory root, natural flavors (soy lecithin) 100% natural. 100mg protective antioxidant per serving. calories 0. potassium 20mg. total carbohydrate 1g. I dont know what all this means. Maybe you can tell me something and maybe I shoul STOP drinking it. Thanx

SWEETIE | 11.25.08 - 8:51 am
#928

SWEETIE,

it depends - does the lipton green tea contain sugar, artifically sweetners or extra calories?

If so - NO - stop drinking lipton and in my opinion...

You can go to Wal-Mart and get green tea diet pills cheaper or buy natural green tea bags for better results but let me also add...

Although green tea helps burn fat - NOT taking green tea WILL NOT break or make your weight loss goals

#927
Hi Adrian!! Im very happy to say I lost 5lbs not much since I started 11/13/08 but still Im happy because it motivates me. I have been eating more often through out the day but in smaller amonts and more fruits and vegetables. I also drink 16oz of lipton green tea(cranberry pomegrante) I would like to know if I can continue to drink LIPTON green tea instead of Extreem green tea and wu-yi tea they cost more. Thank you Adrian...

SWEETIE | 11.24.08 - 9:51 am
#926

Trisha,

Your plan is great - the only thing I would do is not do tae-bo or hip hop abs every night & only do it M-W-F nights and you can make the jogging on T- TH optional because it seems to me that outside of the M-W-F workouts your lifestlye is active anyways and...

You don't need WHEY protein but you do need to eat PROTEIN whether it's from whey or protein foods sources

#925

Hey adrian,Its me again.And I am now 122lbs @ 5'2 (from 126 last week- I just followed the eating plan in loss your last 10lbs - THANKSSSS!!)

So tomorrow. I'll be starting my
"before new year I'll be so toned" thing. I've made a schedule of things I'll be doing for the next month. M-W-F is the fat weighloss #1&2(from the last 10 pounds exercise program) and every tuesday and thursday I'll go jogging for like 45 mins or so. I am fully loaded every saturday (college student) so I cant find the morning time,and I decided to give sunday my rest day since I have rotc on the morning (which mean I'll be so tired marching for 4 hours!!).
At night time,I'll be doing taebo or hip hop abs (alternate- everyday). And I'll drink 1 cup of tea.

I might be following the foodplan here,except the whey protein coz I cant afford It,I need to save for like a month before I can buy one. (Im still a student).

What do you think,Can you suggest anything?

Neil,

Go here to see if you're overweight but if you're a guy...

you're not overweight so YES... you may only lose 5-to-10 pounds while on this plan

#921

Hi,
Your plan sounds great! I am travelling in 21 days and want to look the best I can! I'm 23 and weigh 185lbs and my height is 5'11. Will the diet help me loose 5-10 lbs in the next 20 days and will that be a visible difference for me? My stats are above, I'm curious as to how overweight I am and if this diet can help me reach a goal of loosing a visible amount of wieght in the next 20 days?

rose,

I have my doubts about anything made by Nestle being used for weight loss since they make lots of sugar products so it may be better to just eat other 100 calorie protein sources rather than drink protein in your case - Please look at #2 here again

#919
adrian,'ive brought nestle protien drink for myself.is it good enough?should i take 3tsp each time?or 1tbsp each time?.thankyou very much

Jazz,

Yes - the lose 20 pounds plan is realistic for you but also look at how to break out of a weight loss plateau

#917

I am 5'2/172lbs Any additional advice when your body won't drop the pounds? I am going to follow the 20lbs in 4 weeks plan. Is this really realitic based on my height and weight? I will let you know my progress. Thanks for all you do.

Jazz | 11.20.08 - 8:14 pm

#916

piaras,

Yes - it's okay to take protein and one bit of fruit in the mornings and diner but...

Don't starve yourself - eat 0-to-300 more calories after you eat protein & fruit depending on your hunger level

#915

Julia,

Taking fat burners twice a day is OK but since most fat burners contain caffeine and other stimulants...

You may want to avoid taking them real close to bedtime and I recommend you drink green tea first but since you may not have time to make green tea - I recommend fat burners like Wu-Yi Tea or
Extreme Green Tea

#913
Is taking fat burners pills twice a day healthy? If so, which fat burner pill do you recommend?

Julia | 11.19.08 - 1:30 pm

kia88,

THe best suggestion I can give you is to find another weight loss activity that doesn't cause back pain - what about riding a bike?

#911
I'm currently 136lbs at 5'1". I want to lose 30lbs ultimately. My big problem is when I try to workout(even if it is just walking) I have alot of back pain afterwards. I know my weight is probably contributing to this..so I want to lose weight to help me...but it almost seems that I have to suffer pain for a while to do so. Any suggestions?

Darlene,

If you're trying to tone up - Look thru these easy body sculpting exercises but to lose another 15 pounds...

that depends on how much you weigh - If you're 20-to-30+ pounds overweight Just do this plan here to lose 15 more pounds but if you're talking about losing your LAST 15 pounds then...

Do this weight loss plan

#909
Hi Adrian,
It's me again. I have completed my task of losing the weight I set out before my cruise. I am however wanting to lose 15 more lbs and get toned. I love eating the fruits and vegetables, so much better for me and am feeling better as well. I have started that back up again. But I want to tone up my body all over. What exercises or program do you suggest in order for me to get that sexy lean body by spring time?

Darlene | 11.17.08 - 9:35 am
#908
hey thank you so much for your comment and fast respond,you have no idea how much you made my day. this is absolutely the best site.
Btw,many people really saw the changes in my body since i started your program. Your right, i should be patient. I will follow the "lost your last 10 lbs"regiously.. and I'll comment you back when I finally reached my goal. Thank you so much! Godbless you and for what you are doing! =)

HK,

As you get closer to your weight loss goal - it's actually better to NOT cut down on calories but instead to improve the quality of the foods you're eating and to also increase exercise intensity so in your case - for the next month at least...

Follow these 8 EZ rules for weight loss and you may be able to try swimming or any of these other weight loss activities you can do without harming your knee

#906

Hi Adrian.
20year male. I have been loosin weight for a while now, passed the 30kg. I now weigh 83kg and have some more to spare, but it is going so slow now. And i recently got injuried so i won't be able to run for like a month.

Question is, do you got any tips to do at home, like muscletraining and cardio, without really pressuring my knee.

And should i cut down more calories now in the final kilos or stick to the one im on?

Thank you.

HK | 11.16.08 - 6:05 pm

sunder,

You'll have to read the Nutrional Facts label on your protein product but usually...

A scoop is 80-to-120 calories

#904
Hey i got screwed....... I am a allergic to milk, wheat, soy, and egg... Yet it sucks.. But the only Protien mix that i am able to use is rice protien or just eating lean meat....

Anyways how much protien is in one scoop of whey protein? I know you said there is around 100 calories per scoop,but I Want to make sure that is it not way off...

sunder | 11.15.08 - 6:36 pm

rose,

If you don't have dumbbells - use milkjugs filled with water, sand, rocks, etc. and I've never heard of kahwah but green tea is a proven fat burner

#902

im planning to go on this diet in a day or two,if i dont have dumbells,is it okay if i do my exercises without them?.

#901

Trisha,

What you need to do know is switch over to this weight loss plan here for 2 reasons...

#1 - you don't want to be on the lose 20 pounds plan for more than 4 weeks anyway AT YOUR weight & height and...

#2 - eating a little more calories on the new weight loss plan I give you will trick your body into speeding up your metabolsim and...

BE PATEINT! - the good news is that you LOOK GOOD NAKED right now but to lose 5-to-10 more pounds at your current weight and height is going to take a little longer so hang in there and contact me if you need any help

#900

Christine,

If my math is correct - you're 5'8 and at 152 pounds - YOU ALREADY LOOK GOOD so it's going to take you longer to lose weight and the fastest way for you to speed up weight loss in your situation is to...

Go on a weight loss plan like this for people who are not overweight but wish to lose a few stubborn pounds and also... whatever weight loss method or plan you choose - for the next 23 days...

Employ this tips to speed up your weight loss and YES...

Keep me updated but PLEASE contact me if you ever run into any trouble

#898

Hello Adrian,
Thank you for helping all of us out! Like everyone else I am interested and inspired. I stay at home with my children. I workout about 2-3 times a week, usually cardio and swimming (love swimming). I am 30, I weigh 152 and am almost 1/4 inch shy of 68 inches tall.

I just found out about a trip that will be planned in 23 days. I will do what every it takes (working out 4 times a day, eating all fresh...whatever) but I need the advise from someone like you who knows how to get this excess weight off before I go.

I dont think I am fat. I look good in my clothes but we are going to a beach location with co-workers and I do not look the same in a swimsuit

I have access to Protien powder, fat burners and the gym...I will keep you updated if you wish!

Thanks for any advise.

Christine | 11.13.08 - 7:04 pm

#897

sweetie,

Everything you're doing is fine but...

If you eat the fruits & veggies then the metamucil or benefiber isn't neccessary because you get fiber from veggies and fruits and...

The 15-to-20 minute elliptical workout is okay at first but with that short time you have Try weight loss intervals for 15-to-20 minutes instead to speed up fat loss

#896

Hi, I need help,great site and info thanx. Im 27years old female and weigh in at 168lbs. my bigest weight since I had my son. My goal weight is 140lbs.

#895

Trisha,

You're not even 10 pounds overweight so it's going to take you longer to lose your last 15 pounds so...

You need to do this weight loss plan here and instead of making a goal of being 15 pounds lighter by 2009...

Make a goal of losing 5-to-10 pounds by 2009

#894
Hi,I'm 5'2 126 lbs I want to be aqtleast 110lbs and lose a lot of weight in my tummy and my back (apple shape) before the end of this year,I want a new perspective in new year. Is it possible to lose like 15lbs in like a month a half?

Trisha | 11.09.08 - 5:05 am
#893

Krista,

The reason why fat burners are included is because this is an emergency weight loss program but in reality...

If you're 20-to-30 pounds overweight - you don't need fat burners and if you're under 20 pounds overweight then you may need the fat burners to help out a bit plus...

if you're not 20-to-30 pounds overweight - You need to do this weight loss program anyway

#892
hello,
I was looking a the 20lbs in 3-4 weeks thing and i thought i should say that i feel uncomfortable with taking any type of weightloss pill(fat burner) can this program work for me without the fat burners?

Krista | 11.06.08 - 10:08 pm
#891

Amirh,

What will happen is that you should lose 10-to-20 pounds very fast but after that - you weight loss rate will slow down and I'm guessing you're a guy so...

You're 40 pounds overweight and once you get to be only 15-to-20 pounds overweight - you can expect to lose 2-to-3 pounds per week but then again...

30 pounds in 30 days is slightly possible because there have been people to lose that much on this diet in that time frame but also - they were much more overweight than you are

#890

I'm interested in following your weight loss program. I intend to lose 30 lbs in 30 days. I', 5'11" with 235 lbs. Do you think it possible for me to do this?

Here are a summary of my daily activities:

Morning: Hydroxycut + 45 minutes of Interval Training
For breakfast I'll have one glass of whey protien mixed in cold water & two half boiled eggs.

Afternoon: Hydroxycut + salad + one glass of whey protien + high protien meal (chicken/meat)

Evening: Hydroxycut + One glass of whey protien + weight resistance workout + another 45 minutes of interval training

Dinner(after workout) same as lunch.

Any comment?

triciah19,

At your height & weight - the fat burners will help but they're also aren't crucial to your success but YOU DO NEED TO EAT PROTEIN and you can get protein from whey, soy or these other protein food sources

Please read #2 here again

#888
hi, while on this diet, if i dont incorporate the soy protein/whey protein and fat burners, would i still be able to lose the 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks....i'm 5'4 and 240 lbs

What's your bodyfat %?

The best thing for you is to read How to lose belly fat so you can get rid of the stubborn belly fat and I don't think my lose 20 pounds fast plan is what you need right now

#886
Adrian,

First and farmost I want to say that the information that you provied is the best. Your knowledge and expertise on weight loss is the wonderful. Now info on me: I am a 28 year old, black male that weighs in at 172 lbs and stand 5'6". I have a very a career as a massage therapist. I carry most of my weight in my stomach area. I have hypertension so i know that most of the diet bills are a contraindication to my medical condtion. I want to loose 15- 20 lbs and asking for alternatives or more varitey for the diet pills for the 20lbs in 3-4 wk program. Also if this is the right program for me? Thanks in advanc for your help.

I think it's very possible for you to lose at least 5kg a month with your current workout schedule but you'll need a more aggressive workout plan to lose 9kg a month but...

#882
Dear Adrian, I am 25 years old and I weigh about 77 kilo. Which is overweight and I have already started to go to the gym 3 times a week but it's like I'm gaining more weight or something....so frustrating do you think it's possible for me to lose the weight in 1 month to have my ideal weight which is 65?
Thank you

Allison,

You need to do this weight loss plan here but before you start the weight loss plan check toSee why you can't lose weight so you can certain you were doing everything right

#878

Hi:

First off, I really enjoy reading your site. My problem is that I can't seem to lose weight. I used to be quite thin, around 118 lbs at 5'4". But now I'm at around 145 lbs. I don't know what has changed - perhaps my metabolism has slowed down and I'm under more stress, as I've started my first real job at 22. However, I didn't gain the freshmen fifteen, which is why this is so frustrating for me.

I remained relatively active in my life. I work out quite often, around 3-5 times a week, with a mixture of running and weights.

Yet, it really disheartens me when it seems like I'm gaining weight or people have been saying I've been gaining weight recently. Exercise doesn't seem to help that much.

Can you recommend a weight loss plan where I can see results quickly, so I'll be more motivated?

I want to look good in a bikini for January when I go on vacation in Thailand.

Thank you so much.

Michelle,

At your low weight - You need to do this weight loss plan instead

#876
Hi Adrian - First of all let me say your website is great and so helpful- But I am confused due to I have never really been overweight this much before - i have lost 5 - 10 lbs before with not much of a problem but all my life I have never had to loose 20 lbs like I want to now. I am 45 years old and I weigh right at 140. I believe I can do this i am just confused as to what exercise program to do and how often and when. Should i take a fat burner and if so which one - i have tried a few in the past and i do not like the way they make me feel. Could you please tell me what workout would be the best and how often. I am going to start this program this week - and I really want to stick to it - I have tried other diets but after two weeks I would not see a result and I would give up plus I seem to get hungry. I really think your plan sounds great - i just want to make sure I do it right. Plus I wanted to mention that last year I was diagnosed with graves disease or hyper thyroid - I all of a suden lost weight and was around 124 but after a year of being on medicine i have all my levels up and I am doing good but I have put back on the weight plus more. Please help. I do not feel good being this weight.

It's okay to workout at midday or night and you can eat 2 veggies or 2 fruits or you can eat a combo of both

#872
I was wondering, is it okay if i worked out at night or mid day, becuase this is the only time i have to work out, will i still get the same results....also i know you said two fruits or two vegtables, but does this mean two servings of fruits and vegtables? How much qualifies as a serving??

#869

tanya,

I forgot what your height was but at that weight you're probably not TOO MUCH overweight anyway so YES...

You still need to be on the lose 10 pounds in 40 days plan and...

You also need to follow that workout plan "as is" because the closer you get to your weight loss goal...

You have to be more strict in your weight loss methods meaning you need more intense workouts and a stricter diet and...

You can skip the morning workouts if you can't do them but...

This will slow down your weight loss rate.

If you have more questions - please keep contacting me

#868
Hi Adrian,

Will it make much of a difference if I do my work out in the evening? It's very difficult to get a morning workout in.

Can I also substitute your workouts for 30-40 minutes of cardio (step class, stair master, spin class, etc.)? Currently I weigh 142lbs. I'm looking to get back to 120-125lbs. Earlier you recommended I do the "Lose 10 lbs in 40 days" plan. Are you suggesting that I do this plan a second time after losing the initial 10 lbs?

tanya | 10.13.08 - 10:48 pm

Dania,

Yes, the slimfast is okay as long as it's not over 300 calories but...

Hello Adrian! I love your site. I am 5"5 and 180 lbs. I would really like to lose as much weight as possible in 3 weeks. When following the lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks plan...would it be ok to eat the veggies and protein shakes but substitute the 100-300 calorie meal with slim fast? I am also taking stimerex-es (fat burner) as well as drinking green tea. Thanks for your help!

You should at least eat the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight if you're sick to help you recover faster.

#858
Hi,

I have been on the diet for 2 weeks and a couple days ago I came down with broncitis and my dr. told me not to exercise this week or until I was feeling better... however I am still doing the diet (20 # in 3-4 weeks) how much is this going to affect my weight loss? I am hoping to get back exercising, at least some cardio, by friday and start the weight loss workouts again on Monday. Does being sick slow down your metabolism? Is the 1200 cal. sufficient enough for trying to recover? Should I expect to not lose any weight this week?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Melissa,

If you're trying to lose the most weight you can in the shortest time then you do want to workout twice a day and running is good to lose weight and it's not how many miles you run...

It's how fast you run (intensity), how long you run (time), and how many times per week you run that determines how much weight you'll lose

Adrian Bryant | 09.29.08 - 8:54 pm

#854

Adrian,

Your website has given me hope!!! Could you tell me what else I need to do to lose the 20 pounds in 5 weeks (5'3 and 153.5 lbs) I'm not into fat burners, teas or protein shakes. But I am in to running!! How many miles a day do you think I need to run to lose the 20 in 5 weeks. I know my diet has a lot to do with it too and I'm working on that as well.

Do you think I should go to the gym in the morning and at night?!

Thank you!!!!

Afaf & mariam habashy,

Are you two exercising any?

If you haven't lost any weight in 4 weeks after you lost 10 pounds - then it is way past time that you need to change up your weight loss plan because your body's metabolism has gotten used to this plan so...

I suggest you add exercise or if you already are exercising - Look at 1-thru-5 here and do #7 also

Please contact me if you need more help

#850

i have been using your 20 pounds loss a month for about 4 weeks i was about 78kg and after 3 weeks i lost 7kg and i didnt loose anything for the last week so should i continue on the same program or should i change?

when i started i was 92 kg from your program i have lost 4kg after 3 weeks and now after 7 weeks i havent lost anything for the four weeks after i used your program to loose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks. how long should i stay using this program(in weeks).


Afaf & mariam habashy | 09.29.08 - 5:37 am

#849

Sandi,

Cycling like that is actually a good idea because it'll prevent you from going into starvation mode from being on a VLCD but...

Make sure on your off week - You stick to another weight loss plan like this one where you're still cutting calories but also isn't considered a VLCD.

#848

Hi Adrian,

Thanks so much for this web site!! I'm pretty poor so I cannot afford fancy diet plans or workout tapes.

But, I have a question. Is it possible to cycle through the 20lbs in 3 weeks program if you do 3 weeks on one off then 3weeks on again? Or how would that work? I am about 230lbs and I am trying desperately to get down to 175 and eventually 150. I just got a great new job and I have to relocate to the west coast in 2 months and I just want to be fully confident.

Melissa,

Yes, losing 20 pounds at your height & weight is a real possibility.

#846
Hi,

I'm 5'3 and I weigh 153.5 pounds. I am trying to lose 20 pounds in four weeks. Am I just kidding myself or is this a real possibility? I try to run 2 miles a day.

Thank you!!!

Priyanka,

This diet plan along with this workout plan is the best thing you can do to come close to your weight loss goal in 2 months but with your condition...

You should consult with your doctor and ask him/her if this is okay for you to do and hydroxycut is fine but you also need to consult with your doctor to see if this is okay for you

#844

Hi Adrian! really happy to find ur site..
I used to be 102 lbs 3 years ago but then i had Pcod and since then ive gained 57 lbs. My current weight is 159 lbs and im 5'0. I have my engagement by the end of november and i want to lose all this weight by then. I know its just 2 months but im really irritated wid all this weight. I've been prescribed metformin an orlistat 120mg twice a day by my gynae. But im thinking of taking hydroxycut muscle tech. Is it ok? Pls tell me how can i lose all this weight in 2 months... i just got a ray of hope by coming to this site.. thanks to you...

Lee,

The weight loss pills are a small part of this diet but they're real helpful in an emergency weight loss situation which is what this diet is for and/or if you're someone who really isn't TOO MUCH overweight and still wants to lose weight

#842
What is I do not want to take any weight loss pills? I just workout and diet. What can I expect to lose in 6 weeks?

Lee | 09.25.08 - 8:47 pm

thara,

Yes - any protein shake mix is fine and even if you don't have any...

You can substitute the protein shake mixes with other 100 calorie sources of protein

#840
hi

can we use NUTRILITE Protein Powder ??

thara | 09.25.08 - 5:44 pm
#839

Fryda,

NO - you do not have to take the weight loss pills but they are useful if you're trying to lose weight in an emergency and...

Any whey/soy protein brand is fine and Even though I don't do coaching - I'm available for questions & advice

#838

Hello Adrian,
I'm so glad I found you on YouTube, and I'm getting ready to start the program tomorrow. Tell me, is it necessary to take the fat burner pills? Also, I have this protein shake mix called ProFlex20, does it really matter what I use?
Anyway, I'm really concerned about me weight. I suffer from PCOS (Polycistic Ovary Syndrome) which really affects my menstrual cycles, weight, emotioal state, etc. I was living in France for a year, and I lost 30 lbs and had a regular cycle during the time I was there. Not that I've been back in the states for less than a month, I've already missed my period and gained 10 lbs. Do you do online personal coaching?
Any input will be greately appreciated.
Thank you,

Cheryl,

Hoodia is the best appetite suppressant but eating weight loss foods also suppresses your appetite as well and Yes...

30min on the treadmill is fine but read #2 here

#836
I've gained about 20 pounds in a year and I know that is bad, but I started dating this guy and you know how it goes...that whole content thing.

Can I do 30 mins on the treadmill instead of the other workouts? Also, which is the best appetite supressant? I sit at a desk all day and I'm always hungry from boredom.

Cheryl | 09.25.08 - 2:28 pm

Chris,

1. YEs - hydoxycut is good - I use the caffeine free kind myself

2. YES - you can eat more than 2 veggies and/or fruits before meals

#834
This sounds amazing. Im going to try it. I have two questions first. 1. Does hydroxycut work as a good fat burner? and 2. can i eat more than 2 veggies/fruits?

Thanks, im so excited to do this!

HEATHER,

If you have 40 pounds to lose and no real weight loss emergencies then DO this long term weight loss plan here

#832

Hi Adrian,
I just stumbled upon your site and have been struggling to lose 40 lbs. since I had my fourth child at age 40. I just bought a blowflex ultimate II and I am excited to try your system. I also just bought an eliptical machine and want to incorporate the body building and cardio into my weight loss program.

Any suggestions??

Thanks man!

Jesenia,

You'd be better off doing tae-bo or one of these other weight loss workouts and YES...

I believe you can lose 20 pounds by Oct.25 if it's 4 weeks away but more importantly...

DO YOU BELIEVE you can lose 20 pounds?

#830
Hi Adrian,

I just came across this site today and I was wondering do you think it's possible for me to loose 20 lbs by October 25. It's my sisters babyshower and I want to be skinnier. I weight now 165lbs , 24 years old, 5'4. How long do I have to do the tae bo video if I choose to do that one? Or will the program still work if I run in place in my home and then walk fast? Or switch it around with jumping jacks? What do you think?

Jesenia | 09.22.08 - 12:50 pm
#829

Ryan,

You can eat either 2 veggies, 2 fruits or a combination

Hi, I plan to follow your plan for the next six to eight weeks. I am 5'7 and I weigh 173 pounds with 31% bodyfat. I need to lose 38 pounds before I leave for a cruise on Christmas Eve. This gives me 3 months. I just started a good kickboxing workout in the mornings from 20-45 minutes in length. Do you think there is anything else I can do to ensure I lose the weight before Christmas? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Michelle,

Your dieting history could affect how much you lose (click to see why) but YES...

I do think (of course) you can lose 20 pounds at your weight and height

#823

Adrian,
Thank you for responding to my question I am planning on rotating the 2 workouts just as described. However, I am wondering if it's realistic for me to actually lose 20 lbs. in the next 4 weeks? Or should I expect less? I guess I have been through so much in the last year being on and off different diets, I am just trying to get a realistic idea of what I can expect. And like I said I will be doing EVERYTHING that I am suppose to be doing to ensure the most weight loss. Thank you for your help.

Usually no matter how fit you are if you try a NEW workout you'll be sore and as for doing fast weight loss workouts #1 & #2 - It's best to try to do them in an organized workout like this one here

#821
Hi,
I stumbled upon your website a few days ago and after dieting and exercising for almost a year and only losing approx. 15 lbs. I decided to try the 20 lbs. in 3-4 weeks diet and do your workouts, the weightloss #1 & #2. I am desperately trying to lose this weight and will follow this plan to the tee. I am 30 year old female 5'4" 161 lbs. Is it really realistic for me to lose 20 lbs. 4 weeks? I have committed myself to this and will follow through without cheating, going out, etc. I have found your website incredibly inspiring and helpful and am hoping for the best. Also, I did the workout #1 yesterday and my shoulders, back of my arms and calves are extremely sore... will I be okay to do it again tomorrow and still do the elliptical this morning and evening? Or do you break when you have sore muscles? I am confused on that... Thanks for all your help!

#818

Darlene,

If you're doing my diet - Make sure you're following rules #1-to-#5 here because it seems to me you're doing a totally different diet and as for working out...

Jillian's workout schedule is okay but you have to realize that the plan you're own is more for toning/building sexy muscle rather than weight loss so bascially...

Your workout routine is fine and your weight loss may or may not be limited because of the slight muscle you may have gained from weight training - Please read # 9 here

#817

Hi Adrian,

I know I have only been on the diet for going on two weeks and have written you twice since then. Totally confused!!! I was somewhat toned in my thighs before starting the diet with fruits, vegetables and protein and now it seems like I have not muscle left. It is like turning flabbier. I want to do the right diet with the right exercise. I am unable to do your exercises due to injuries, but am doing Jillian's workout plan, which is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Off Wednesday and Saturday. Cardio on Sunday. Although I believe I need to workout every day in order to lose 20 lbs, I am confused as to how to schedule it. I am trying to eat my fruit in the morning and vegetables in the p.m. It is the second week and have still only lost 3 lbs. Should I be doing something else? I take the protein shakes after each meal, fat burners, evening primrose (i do have trouble sleeping at night and don't think I get full 8 hours). I do reps of 12, 10, 8, 6, 12, 12 on the machines at the weight that I can tolerate (the highest). I am also doing the toning exercises for the legs, butt and abs on the days I workout those body parts and extra. In essence I am exercising every day because I feel like I need to, but am waiting for 72 hours for the same body part.

I also feel like my fruit is giving me too many carbs. I eat grapes, watermelon, grapefruit, cantelope, plums along with carrots, celery, tomatoes and broccoli.

Thank you,


Darlene | 09.10.08 - 6:33 pm

#816

Jackie,

Any of the fruits/veggies & other foods here are fine

#815
Adrian thanks so much for all these weight loss tips, I am currently doing this diet, I just wanted to know if you suggest any particular fruits and vegetables to make the diet work even better, because I noticed I only have bananas, carrots and extra large peaches. Thank you so much.

Jackie | 09.08.08 - 6:50 pm
#814

Thordur,

If you were doing any of my other weight loss plans I would say its okay to cheat and havea cola "once in a while" but...

This is an emergency diet for fast weight loss so NO... DO NOt HAVE cola or take any cheat days during this 3-to-4 week diet

#813
Hey, I'm on this diet at the moment, and it seems simple and doable, but I was wondering, does it slow down my progress if I enjoy 0.5L of Coca- Cola Light at the nights while watching TV? And if you think it's a bad choice, can you at least recommend a substitute that works well and should make me happy. II do want to loose the extra body fat ASAP but also enjoy good things that are ok to enjoy

Thordur | 09.08.08 - 4:28 pm
#812

Peaches,

Your current diet plan seems okay to me but to speed up weight loss for your weight & height in this emergency weight loss situation you're going to have to find some way to exercise/workout to have a good chance of reaching your weight loss goal.

#811

Hi Adrian,
I am a female, height 5 feet 3 inches and weight 151. I need to loose weight to say about 20-25 pounds by Oct 5th as there is a wedding coming up. I know it's a really short period to loose weight, but any advice from you you would be appreciated.

Since last week, I have been having beans, leafy salads for my breakfast and lunch and dinner for 6 days. The 7th day was a cheat day, but I did not indulge myself in a whole lot of fatty food or sweets. I lost 2 pounds last week.

I would like to loose more each week if possible. Since I am having a lot of proteins in my current meal, should I be taking the whey/Soy protein?

I read about taking fat burner. Its just that I am a little scared of taking those, specially for the side effects. I am a working woman, but I am ready to work out as much as I can.

Please advice.

Thanks,

Peaches | 09.08.08 - 3:38 pm

#810

Darlene,

It depends on which workout you do if you get toned/gain sexy muscles like for example

Doing this workout here will help you get toned and lose fat

#809

Adrian,

Ok, last question. I am at 170, I did lose 3 lbs last week on the plan that is without doing your exercises, because I could not do them all. I want to continue doing the fruits/vegetables and protein shakes and doing some exercises that is similar to yours. Will I also get any toning in my body as well as losing weight? I want to get toned as well as lose weight for a cruise October 9th. I love your site and it has helped me so much. I am doing the thigh, butt exercises because I want to tone my thighs and tone my butt more than anything.

Thank you,
Darlene

yanille28,

I hope you're seeking help for your binge disorder and other problems and...

I think whatever you weight - you probably look just fine and many other women would probably give an arm & a leg to have a body like yours so...

Stop worrying about a problem which really isn't there and ENJOY LIFE!

#805

hi . im suffering from binge eating disorder. the way i think really kills me. because of fad diets and depression. i gain 40 puonds! i miss being 100 pounds and being happy and enjoying life. its hard for me to enjoy life when im like this. i cant confront people anymore because of my low self confidence!

i tried juice fasting and so much more but keep failing. the way i think really kills me.

yanille28@ | 09.06.08 - 12:24 am

Since you're a weight loss veteran meaning you lost a lot of weight already...

You may need to do this advanced weight loss plan here instead to make the weight scale move down

Hi,

I just gave birth to my first son 4.5 months ago I gained 43 pounds during my pregnancy Got over two hundred pounds I have lost all most all of it I am now 165 My body fat was 21% before I was pregnant and now it is 28.5% I would like to be lean like before I was preganct or better I am having the hardest time getting my stomah flat and firm again any advise? My goal is to be 148 in 4 weeks there I think I will be happy (My height is almost 5'7"...I eat really healthy and work out when I can, I tried the Whey strawberrie shake almost made me throw up any reccomendations on a decent tasting one? Also I did calorie counting and nothing not even a pound in the last month, Calorie shifting did work lost 1inch wasit in 2 weeks but it is getting to repetitive

Amanda | 09.03.08 - 11:55 am
#796

Darlene,

At your weight it really doesn't matter which weight loss plan you choose because you will still lose weight fast but if your exercise is limited due to pain then...

Do the lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks plan and since that plan is a low cal diet anyways...

You don't have to worry about gaining weight eating fruit but fruit DOES help you lose weight faster

#795
Adrian,

Actually, I am not on my last 14 lbs of losing weight, that is my first goal, but I cannot get past 172. I was doing the Body for Life Diet and just got to a standstill. I switch up my exercises from the sets they required and starting doing 4 sets of everything, on different machines. I also notice that I am not keeping my muscle that I built up before. I feel flabby now and no muscle tone. I just stopped eating the meals: oatmeal, egg whites, protein, carbs and veggies. I wanted to try your quick weight loss diet in order to lose the last 14 lbs. Should I still go to the other site or continue on with the quick weight loss diet. I did try the exercises required and I can do some, but not all of them due to shoulder and back surgery. My muscles are weak, but am willing to try to build them up. Also I am afraid the fruit will make me gain instead of losing. I don't want to be fatter on my cruise.

Darlene | 09.02.08 - 9:32 pm
#794

Jackie,

You'll have a greater change of losing inches & pounds if you do this diet along with this workout plan here

#793
Adrian, I'm 5'4 and 180 lbs and I use size 11 jeans. I have a wedding to attend on November 1st and my boyfriends family is going to be there. The last time I saw them I was 148 and wearing a size 7. I'm terrified to be seen this way. Do you think I can lose at least 30lbs in 8 weeks following this plan? but most importantly will the inches shed too? or just weight? because I know that the loss of inches is far more noticeable than the loss of pounds. I know because in the past I found myself needing to lose 20lbs on 2 ocassions, in one of them I dieted but didnt exercise and lost the 20lbs but didnt see much of a difference in my jean size, the second time I did work out and the 20lbs I lost also came with a significant reduction in jean size. Help please!

Jackie | 09.02.08 - 4:23 am
#792

Darlene,

If you're on your last 14 pounds - I suggest you do this weight loss plan here instead and also Look at this to see why you can't break your weight loss plateau

#791
I am going to to the 7 things to lose 20 lbs fast, but with the exercises I will have to do some in the chair. I think that the exercises will be great, but am worried about gaining instead of losing. I have been doing the Body for Life diet and am at a standstill. I have not been eating fruits much at all and am afraid of the sugar contents. Will I break this plateau if I follow your plan exactly. I really only have 14 lbs that I would like to lose before October 1st.

Darlene | 09.01.08 - 5:05 pm

Just wondering,

Boiling your water for the soy protein isn't going to hurt anything but you will miss out on the extra calories cold water burns

#789

Hey Adrian,

Do you think it's ok for me to drink my soy protein with warm water instead of cold? Can I boil warm or warm it up for a little and add the powder?

Just wondering | 09.01.08 - 10:18 am

#788

MsK,

YES - it is a good idea to have good carbs for energy before a workout and you would simply just have to eat one of your 0-to-300 calorie meals plus the veggies/protein about an hour or so before your workouts

#787

It's me again.

Quick question, isn't a good idea to have good carbs about a hour before a workout? This way you are giving your body the energy it needs to do an intense workout?

How would I add this to the 20 pound weight loss plan? Would I just have breakfast before my workout or a piece of fruit before the workout? Or will the fat burner do all the work basically?

MsK | 09.01.08 - 12:33 am

#786

Abby,

YES - the more overweight or the higher your bodyfat % is = the greater chance you have of losing 20 pounds in 3-to-4 weeks

#785
so u sayin i can lose 20 pounds in 3 to 4 weeks

abby | 08.31.08 - 1:36 pm
#784

Alicia,

1. I only really recommend taking diet pills in case of a weight loss emergency where you need to lose as much weight as possible in short amounts of time (like 3-to-4 weeks) and/or if you are not really overweight

2. You only need to eat 2 raw veggies and/or fruits and you can dip the stuff in ranch but you must include/count those ranch calories as part of your 0-to-300 calorie meal

3. Since you may not be very overweight depending on your height I suggest you do a more advanced weight loss workout plan like this one

#783

I would like to try your diet, but a few questions.

1. Do you have to take the diet pill? Arent they bad for you?

2. The raw veggies, how do I know exactly how much to eat and since its raw, can I dip it in something. I've always dipped my carrots, broccoli and celery in ranch...or something along those lines. Eating just plain raw veggies sounds a little daunting.

3. Im 5'6'' and weigh 145lbs, I would like to lose atleast 15lbs. I feel ok there but would love to lose 20lbs and be back to my 125lb range. I feel the best there!
Any suggestions.

Thanks

Alicia | 08.29.08 - 2:07 pm

#782

Wow Adrian, I didn't even see this until today. I just bought some Soy Protein that was mixed with whey and was about 80 cals.

I'm going to drink green tea and rotate with smooth tea probably for my "fat burners".

I'm slowly getting better with my eating. I just need to buy some fruits and veggies. I was thinking i can replace that with 4oz of green smoothie (mixed with fruits and veggies). I'm trying to lay off that carbs for a lifestyle change.So i'm hoping I can get to the point where I will just eat a veggie and protein for dinner.

I think with this plan and the exercises i've been doing. I can lose the fat. And then if needed, I can use your other exercises to build sexy curves.

MsK | 08.29.08 - 11:26 am

Adrian,

I want to take the liberty to speak on behalf of all of us and acknowledge you for being so giving, so attentive and so supportive to us. Personally, you have given me hope to achieve my goals and definitely inspiration to make a change in lifestyle.

#776

hi, brayant

i have browsing ur web site and i think its amazing what u doing by spreading the word to whole world about eating and exercising right.

my question for u is, i am a 22 yr old female who weighs 150 pounds and is 5'10ft. the problem is that my fat percentage is 30.5% and i want to decrease it.
until four years ago i worked as a model. i ate healthy and excercised regularly and maintained the weight of 115lbs at 14years of age(and i was slightly shorter than my current height)and went up to a maximum of 120 lbs naturally when i reached 5'10ft.then the crazy weight gain happened when the reason for i was mistakenly prescribed hormonal medication which made me balloon up to the weight of 180lbs in 6 months.then the medication was stopped.the horrendous weight gain resulted in me having severe depression and was prescribed a setronin based antidepressant, which i started taking 1 month after stopping the hormones..the antidepressant made me put on more weight and i reached 203lbs at my heaviest.this weight gain happened in the next of six months. meanwhile i was sedentary and didnt not even want to go out of my room, let alone leave the house.after i stopped the anti depressant, it took me 2 years to go down to 150lbs,and i have maintained it by eating what i like when i like it but in a healthier manner (but some junk food and sweets were included) i ate in small portions many times a day. the only excercise i ever did was speed walking 30 to 60 minutes,but after a month of doing that an droping to 145lbs without any diet changes, i got sick and tired of loosing weight so slowly, so i would go back to 150lbs. then i would wanna fit into a dress, so i would quit sweets and bad carbs for two weeks and go down to 145 again and platue.after the diet is over i would go back to 150lbs. my goal is having a maximum of 20% fat and weighing 130lbs. i had my liver functions and pancreas and kidneys and thyroid glands checked and the results were perfecty normal.

the only diet pill that ever worked on me was meridia. i tend to ovder eat sometimes and this one helps.

the reason i dont try anymore is that i need some1 to assure me that a certain plan will work 110%. am a hard worker but so far whatever i tried failed and am stuck at 150lbs. i eat around 1800 to 2000 cals a day.

after seeing ur website i put my faith in you.

so which plan do u recomend me to do and how long would it take me to take off the weight?

thank u soo soo much in advance for taking time to read my long question.

skinnyfat | 08.28.08 - 7:13 am

#775

Pauline,

Yes - you should be able to reach your goal by mid Nov. and contact me if you need more help

#774
Adrian,

So I can actually stay on this diet but increase the intensity of my workouts and I'll be able to reach my goal?

Thanks!

Pauline | 08.28.08 - 3:27 pm |
#773

Pauline,

At your low weight - you'll need to exercise to lose those last 10 pounds so I recommend you do this weight loss plan here instead

#772

Adrian,
I'm female, 5'2", 135 lbs, 32 yr old. This is the heaviest I've been just because I stopped doing my maintenance workouts and eating whatever I wanted. I look really good when I weigh around 120-125 lbs.

I'm doing this diet because I have a wedding on Nov 15th, 2008. Today is Day 3. I've included what I did on Day 1 & 2.

8:30 AM: 1 Xendadrine, no EFX

9 AM: 1 peach, 1 tomato, 1 (190 cal) Lean Body for Her shake (8 oz water)

12 PM: 1 serving celery, 1 serving carrot, 1 shake

3 PM: same as 12 PM

7 PM: 1 peach, 1 tomato, 1 shake, 1 8 oz GRASSFED beef pattie

I also power walked for 50 min and drank 80 oz water.

So far, no change in weight, but I feel gassy and my face looks thinner. Do you think I'm on the right track? I really just need to lose 10 to 15 lbs.

Also would you recommend me following the Wedding Day Diet plan by Matt Marshall? (i found the link on your site)

Thanks so much!
Pauline

With your current thyroid condition... it's best that you show a doctor this diet and ask him/her if this diet is safe for you and if you'll be able to lose weight on it

#770
Hi. I am 13 years old and I weigh about 137 pounds. And I am 5 feet and 2 and a half inches. I want to lose about 20 pounds. I have a thyroid problem and that causes my hormones to go up and down. Will this diet have the same effect on me as other people? Or will I lose no weight due to my thyroid problem and the fact that I'm still growing? PLEASE HELP ME! People at school keep calling me fat and I want to lose weight so they will stop. please help me.

Hannah,

Just do this plan here until you can exercise

#764
I am looking forward to following this program the only problem is that I had surgery a couple weeks ago. I start school in a month and a half and would like to have lost the 20lbs by then. I can't do any huge physical activity and can't do any lifting (breast reduction surgery) Will walking everyday for a certain amount of time be enough to follow this diet or should I wait until I can go back to full physical activity.

I am 5'5" at 200lbs.

Jeremy Allen,

If you really committ to basic weight loss principles then yes...

I do believe you can lose 5 inches off your waist and at least 25 pounds in 3 months

#761
Hi, I'm a 6'1" 17 year old weighing in at about 220lbs with a waist size of 38-40". My current dietary status is really disturbing, I drink nearly 64-100 ounces of Mountain Dew a day, and occasionally a NOS or two. I eat out at least twice a week or more if i can afford it, and I haven't kept a record of my calorie intake for nearly 8 years. I'm not active at all currently, and I have a hard time getting myself to be active. However, I'm tired of how large I am and would like to change that before I graduate in 3 months. Is it possible to lose 40-50lbs and maybe 5" off my waist line before I graduate?

Jeremy Allen | 08.22.08 - 2:18 pm
#760

rina,

NO but YES...

You would lose maybe 20 pounds real fast but after that your weight loss rate will slow down as you get leaner so I think you should expect 40 pounds in 2-to-4 months realistically

#759
I'm currently weighing 150 pounds and my height is 5-2. I want to loose 40 pounds with in 2 months. Would this plan(lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks) work for me if I do this for two months .

HI. I just came upon your website and I must say how impressed I am. You really know your nutrition! I have only one question for you. You say to consume at least 70 ounces of ice cold water a day... does this include beverages like 100% fruit juices, coffee, vitamin waters, and seltzer or club soda? I love water but sometimes, I crave these other things. Thank you for your help!!!

Trina,

Curbing your appetite is the main purpose of the protein & veggies/fruit and that's why you only eat 0-to-300 calories after eating them and...

Intervals are good short weight loss workouts and Also read fast weight loss tip #1 if you don't have time to exercise

#755
I am just starting you 20lbs fast plan and I notice that the protein takes away my appetite and I eat less. Do you think this is unhealthy? I want to exercise but time is very limited for me so what is a short workout for me. I am 5'10 and 285lbs.

Trina | 08.19.08 - 10:13 pm

Kathleen,

Remember - you only eat 0-to-300 calories after the fruits/veggies/protein so YES...

If you're not hungry afterwards - eat nothing or 0 calories

#753
I'm 5'3", 21, and 155 lbs. 20 lbs is exactly what I'm trying to lose since I was 25 lbs lighter a year ago, so I though this was a good diet for me. I just wanted to ask about the meals. I've just started this diet, and after taking the whey protein drink and eating 2 fruits or veggies, I'm not even hungry. Should I still eat something afterwards no matter what or is it ok to skip the meal portion if I'm not hungry?

You need to do this weight loss plan instead

#749
hi i'm a sixteen year old girl, weigh about 120 pounds, have a moderate amount of muscle built up but from dance classes i've attended over the course of the last year but i've gained almost ten pounds this summer from a lack of exercise and a diet consisting of mostly fatty food. i have grown a muffin top and a rather ugly belly, and also have gained inches around my waist...I know this sounds rather melodramatic compared to other people posting who want to lose 30 pounds or more, but I look into the mirror and don't recognize myself, and really want my lean toned body back. Will this diet help me? If not, what do I do?

oh i forgot to mention - my height is around 5"4

Priya,

The combination of protein and fruits/veggies (fiber) before meals suppress your appetite making you eat less and lose weight faster

See "17 ways to curb cravings" for more info

#741
Hi Adrian

I've been doing this diet now for 4 days (so far so good!) i was just wondering why u reccomend to eat the protein and veg before a meal, why can it not be incorporated into a meal? For instance if i were to eat chicken before the 300 cal meal (as well as 2 veg/fruit), is it possible that i can have it with a tortilla wrap with it, or is it essential that each of the food groups are eaten separetely? Surely they just all go to the stomach anyway....... Sorry if this doesn't make sense, hope u can clarify this for me though!

Also are mangoes ok for this diet?

Tasnia,

Answer to question #1: IT doesn't matter what kind the protein is.

Answer to question #2: YES! - CLA is a good idea to take

Answer to question #3: IT depends on how overweight you are but generally the more overweight you are the longer you can stay on this diet - Get more clarity on your question here

Answer to question #4: Your meal plan is fine - just make sure you keep the calories 0-to-300 after you eat the veggies/fruits and protein and the nuts are fine and...

Never apologize for asking questions related to helping you look your best

#737

Hi,
I want to try your lose 20 ibs in 3-4 weeks plan but I have a few questions.

1) is plain whey protein more effective than flavoured?

2) can I also take CLA pills while on this diet because my stomach has always been a problem area.

3) I want to lose at least 50 ibs. Can I stick with this diet for that long and will it continue to work (with exercise)?

4) I've come up with a meal plan and I would appreciate some feedback. If you want to suggest changes please keep in mind that I am a student and I have to eat between classes so it can't be anything too complicated.

Breakfast: Small bowl of Special K with skim milk

Lunch #1: Fat-Free Yogurt+12 almonds or cashews

Lunch #2: Fat-Free Yogurt+12 almonds or cashews

Dinner: 1 Small can tuna +Fat-Free cottage cheese OR 3.5 oz Grilled Chicken Breast

And of course I'll be taking the veggies and whey protein before each meal. Is it ok for me to eat so many nuts? Please let me know. And sorry about all the questions.

Thank you so much.

I am sorry but I did not understand your second email. My second response was to give you a little history about me. I am going to stop your doing your diet, although yesterday i gave up a little. today is a new day because i will jump back on the diet as planned and continue. actually drinking the protein drinks before i eat are satifying. I have to remember your advice on cutting my calorie to low.

thanks

tasha | 08.13.08 - 7:14 am
#733

tasha,

You can still take the advice I gave you but since you've only been on the diet for 2 days - you may or may not want to stay on it for at least 1-to-2 weeks before taking the advice I just gave you

#732
thank you for responding. I have been dieting for years. I went into deep depression and I did not realize how fat i was becoming. My self image of myself was distorted. When i was 155 pounds I thought I was obese, then i just let myself go. I finally bottomed out at 240 pounds. It has taken 2 years to get down to 169, but I have had to diet one minute and go off the other. It seemed to me that this was helping. Now I can not get past 169 pounds. There are two reasons: one reason is that I expect to be small by tomorrow so in some way my self image is still distorted and the second reason is that I give up and say forget and over eat. For example, I have followed your plan for two days and because I have not seen results I bought some deep fried shrimp, coleslaw and fries. I guess I need to rethink my purpose for losing and I need to change my self image of myself. Well thanks a lot and tomorrow is a new day. I can't give up. I do know that I do not want to be 240 pounds again, life was really lonely.

#731

tasha,

From the little you've told me it seems to me you have a history of dieting (eating a LOT less) and then eating more or regular or in other words - you have a yo-yo dieting history so...

Your body is probably used to your low calorie diets and slows your metabolism when you do this which may be the reason why you gain even while dieting (but this is only 1 guess) or...

You could be gaining muscle - Read "10 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau" to further troubleshoot your weight loss problems but...

Because of your athletic history and since it's obivious you gain weight even on low calorie diets - doing this advanced weight loss plan may be the perfect solution for you and just to clear things up for you...

Read why VLCD don't work for some people

okay i followed the diet to the T and i stepped on the scale and i weigh more. Am i doing something wrong?

Can you tell me what to expect? Should i be losing a pound a day? I was just eating healthy and i was losing. I switched to the fruit and protein drink and I feel like i have gained weight. I feel bloated. Oh is it okay for to add lowfat yogurt to the protein drink. Here is my concoction: 1/2 pkg of low fat choc 30 cal, 1/2 scoop of protein 50 cal, 1/2 container of yogurt 30 cal, 1/2 frozen banana, and 4 strawberries frozen. After i drink this i am not hungry. I drink this four times a day. I do eat for dinner. I don't know if I am gaining weight from this diet or the fact i am a women and i am bloated for a week. i drop calories and i gain. I eat out of control and i dont gain or lose. I need to find a middle ground. help please. Oh yeah i weigh 169 pounds and i am 5'3". My pants size is a size 8. I wear a small in shirts. No my clothes are not tight. I use to be very athletic and people say i could be gaining muscle. I was doing P90X but I started gaining. all confused.

YES - it's always a good idea to eat a variety of fruits & vegetables and you can stay on this longer depending on how overweight you are See VLCD for more info but...

4 weeks is generally the best amount of time to stay on this diet

The amount of weight you lose (FAST) is all dependant on how overweight you are.

#708
Hi, I'm 14 years old, am about 5'1 and weigh around 105 pounds. I really need to lose just about 10 pounds before school starts, which is in 20 days, or atleast get a fitter looking body. Is this diet appropriate for me? And is it okay if I don't use a fat burner pill or fat burning tea?

Rachel | 08.06.08 - 3:27 am
#707

kristina,

At your weight & height - You do have a realistic shot at being 130-to-150 pounds by 2009 with this plan but I would stay on this plan no longer than 8 weeks and after 8 weeks - You'll need to go on a weight loss plan like this one to get closer to your weight loss goal and...

You can drink natural green tea as a fat burner

im 5'2, 17 and i weigh 204. its the most iv ever weighed...I just got accepted to go audition for this dance company and they have a show in december, with your plan is it relistic to weight 130 by then? is there anything i can use to substiute the fat burning pill with?

All I drink is arizona iced tea or regular tea with about a teaspoon and a half of sugar. Is that okay? Or is drinking tea bad? I also drink alot of water.But i really need to lose the weight by school which is August 25. So please help me and give me some ideas on how to get more motivation!

I like how this sounds, but I hate working out!!!! i know, I cant expect something good if i dont work for it. but i am just curious, would i still loose weight if i ate all the right food and dieted correctly but didnt work out? I am a 22 year old male, 5' 7" , 220lbs I think once i start losing weight i will have more encouragment and energy to workout but I would like to know how much weight i could lose within 4 weeks or so just by following the diet without the workout.

olivia,

25 grams because 1g of protein has 4 calories and...

Keep your sugar grams as low as you can and the grams of carbs doesn't matter as long as you're only eating 0-to-300 calories after you eat the fruits and/or veggies & protein

#690
JUST WONDERING HOW MANY GRAMS OF PROTEIN SHOULD B IN THE 100 CALORIE SOURCE OF PROTEIN AFTER THE FRUIT/VEGTEBLES AND

also HOW MANY GRAMS OF CARBS IS ALLOWED IN THE FOOD ITEMS AFTER the protein

also how many grams of sugar?

#689

Kala,

Yes - the protein complex shake is okay and if your goal or if all you're worrying about is making the scale move - You should avoid doing the 18min body toning or circuit training workouts but...

You could do all your circuit training or 18min fat loss workouts in the mornings and then add another workout like the fast weight loss workouts in the evenings and do that 2-to-3x a week and on the other days you can do a lighter or intense cardio workout

#688
? is protein complex ok? also how can i fit in all the exercises.Like 18 min body toning,fatloss work out 1 n2 , cardio and circut training.Or is it too much?

Erin,

Fruit shouldn't cause your blood sugar to rise quickly because fruit has lots of fiber slows the release of sugar and you can use the low calorie sprays as long as you include it in your 0-to-300 calorie amount

#686

I'm really excited about trying this diet and I was wondering a couple of things...Would it be best for you to eat nothing but raw salads with lean protein for every meal? How does eating all the fresh fruit you want, not screw up things? There is so much sugar in fruit, it will spike your blood-sugar if nothing else. Eating a lot of fructose (the sugar in fruit) has been shown to raise insulin levels which would cause you to store that sugar as fat.

Would using those very low-calorie salad sprays be ok?

I keep trying to find all the information I found before, but I can't seem to find the darned links again.

Shila,

Yes this diet is reasonable for you but you'll only have a good chance of losing 15 pounds if you're 15+ pounds overweight

#684
I am 13 years old, and desperately need to lose about 15-50 lbs. before school starts, which is in about 1 month and a few extra days. Is this diet reasonable for me, yes or no?

Shila | 07.29.08 - 1:02 pm

DeE,

Yes - that's okay to blend the two fruits with the whey protein and one cup of milk?

#682
is it okay if i blend the two fruits with the whey protein and one cup of milk? when i do this i am not hungry afterwards..

DeE | 07.31.08 - 11:48 pm
#681

Dionne,

Yes - it's okay to have almonds or Any other protein source less than 100 calories

#680

I started your diet on monday and dont like the soya protein shake, Is it ok to have hoeny almonds instead?

Im going on holiday in 3 weeks, im 5" 2 and weigh 206lbs, do you think i can lose the 20lbs by then?

#679

Brenda,

The general guidelines are that you can safely lose 2-to-3 pounds a week but being overweight...

You can expect to lose over 3 pounds a week and as you get closer o your weight loss goal... You'll lose 1-to-3 pounds a week so...

You may lose 20-to-40 pounds your first month and then 10-to-20 your second and your last 20-to-40 pounds you should expect to lose in over 2-to-3 months so really...

You can lose weight very fast in the beginning without diet pills and you never have to starve yourself to lose weight but YES...

You may need diet pills as you get closer & closer to your weight loss goal to give you extra edge to lose weight faster so all in all...

You may not lose 86 pounds in 5 months but you should be able to lose 86 months in 5-to-10 months EASY and...

I'm certainly NOT saying it can't be done - See how ALi Vincent lost 112 pounds in 5 months but...

Set a reasonable goal of 86 pounds in 8 months

#678
I'm 5'7" and weigh 244lbs. I want to lose 86lbs by the end of the year. I would like to know if this is possible, without starving myself or popping scores diet pills? And I would also like to know what's the most I could lose safely in one month?

Brenda | 07.30.08 - 3:48 pm
#677

Dee,

YES - Of course you can substitute my recommended pills for something you saw in any drugstore.

#676
I wanted to know if i could substitute your recommended pills for something I can purchase at any drugstore. I saw

kala,

You can cut out bread but in your case... I would just try a higher protein diet where only 20-to-40% of your calories are carbs(like wheat bread) but remember to increase your carb intake (if you think you need to) for energy on workout days and...

You shouldn't see faster results without using fruits but just to see what happens - try eating only raw veggies because...

I do know of cases where someone has lost weight eating fruits -then stopped losing weight eating fruits but when they switched to veggies - they lost weight again so...

I guess their body got used to digesting fruits and their body did not burn as many calories digesting fruits and when they switched to veggies...

They bodies had to work harder again by burning more calories to digest the fiber in the veggies

#674
ok, i really love this diet cuz i feel healthy while doing it.But would it be ok if i cut out out the bread for the first 2weeks? IM going to this diet over.Also will i see faster results if i cut out the fruits?

kala | 07.31.08 - 8:00 pm
#673

Kala,

WHen you increase your protein intake and lower carb intake - you'll quickly lose water weight -see why so this may explain why your weight shifts up & down

#672
the reason i asked that ?Cuz when i do hard to do diets like (atkins) i actually c the scale move pretty quick. im dont eat (bread) on that diet.ive been working out hard for the last 4weeks and havent drop one pants size. Isnt it sumum wrong with that picture. Im 210 i was tryna get to at least 190. but im still here. im getting so frustrated. Cuz this the first time im incorporated weights properly (light weight no more then 10 lbs)

kala | 07.30.08 - 3:48 pm
#671

kala,

NO - that type of eating wouldn't slow down weight loss and that way of eating is actually recommended

#670
ok i have another ? everyday i try to eat 1200- 1500 calories. But the only way i could do it, i have to eat bread (wholewheat) along with my meals. So i can have enough of calories. i wud have a slices of toast in the morning,maybe a turkery buger on wheat bread and for dinner maybe another tuna sandwich on the bread with a salad.Now will that type of eating slow down my weight process? kala | 07.30.08 - 9:40 am
#669

Kala,

If it's only 90minutes TOTAL - then that's okay and the calories are enough to give you energy for your workout but make sure that before and/or on your intensity day Increase your carb intake some to help you workout longer at higher intensity and...

On your non-workout days - you can increase protein intake again

#668
on my intensity day can i do 90 mins cardio, 18 min body toning and 15 pound lose fast exercise and than interval workout.i try to do this in one day but only on my intensity day.Also if im eating only eating 1500 calories would that be enough to sustane my workout

kala | 07.29.08 - 9:52 am
#667

Kala,

WhAT ever scale you're using it's driving me & you crazy LOL but...

If you're still looking better & better as you workout don't worry and it could be a fluctuation of water weight gain

#666
now when i get on the scale its showing i gain weight. i dont understand. . . .

kala | 07.28.08 - 5:09 pm
#665

Zendred,

No but... DOn't focus on whey protein and read #2 again because you don't have to drink whey protein - You can get another 100 calorie protein food source

#664
If i dont drink the whey proteiin, then will i lose weight slower?

Zendred | 07.28.08 - 12:46 pm
#663
OH , yeah its like i lost my upper body weight (inches) but my weight is in my thighs in butt. im just tryna dropp two pants size.its alway hard for me to lose my thighs, instead they just seem like their toned.

kala | 07.26.08 - 9:36 pm
#662
my diets, in the past has always been quick fix diets.I did diets like atkins recently (no carbs) diet.After the (15 pound lose fast workouts) i wasnt doing the interval right away.Im did them later in the evening,cuz at first i was to tired. My body feels so toned,so i know and can see my body has DEFINETILY changed!

kala | 07.26.08 - 9:32 pm
#661

Kala,

NO - You shouldn't have to eat more (or less) because... If You're eating 1500+ calories a day (1100 calories) + (4 x 100 calorie protein) + (Fruits & Veggies) = 1500+ calories and 1500 calories is not considered a VLCD especially if you weigh 210 pounds and...

If you still weigh 210 pounds, eat 1500 calories a day, and if you workout like you do... THEN you should be losing scale weight

**Start keeping a food log and Make sure and double check that you're counting your daily calories correctly

**If you don't look 210 pounds - have your body fat % checked and try using a different scale

**Where is most of your body fat on your body? If you have mainly belly fat then increase your protein intake a little during your 0-to-300 meals Read tip #3 under "Here's 8 more tips to lose belly fat fast..." to see why and try metabolism boosting tricks #4, #6, & #9 here if you haven't done so already but the main point is that...

We're both missing something and I bet it's a small & simple quick fix and usually...

When someone of your weight & height isn't losing off of 1500 calories and all the working out you do...

It's usually because the calories were underestimated or maybe that person isn't working out hard enough but...

I think we can rule out that working out isn't your problem since you say you're on a level 7 on a scale of 1-to-10 but if you're doing my fast weight loss workouts - are you also remembering to do the intervals at the end? but...

Really double check those calories and let me also ask you this if i haven't already...

Have you been on a diet before or what weight loss plans have you tried in the past because depending on your dieting history - you may have to eat more

#660

ok, 1100 caloreis but also wit the protein shakes 4x a day and the raw vegies and fruit. I thought that was enough.All the foods im eating are healthy. So are you saying i should eat more food? (calories)

so,should i eat more (calories)? because im eating the raw vegies, fruit and PROTEIN SHAKES (400)caloreis
. My food intake is like 1200 caloreis. Thats not enough? im doing the interval workouts5x week + 15 pounds fast2x a week, cardio like 3x. i workout like twice a day.

kala | 07.26.08 - 10:36 am

#659

Alex,

Drinking 4 shakes a day is just more conveient & quicker than fixing & preparing other 100 calorie protein sources so you can either drink protein shakes or gget protein from these food sources as well

#658
Hey, I'm 18, 5' 3'' and weight 144 pounds. I am trying to loose 10-20 pounds and was wondering if taking protein 4 times a day would be excessive. I mean, the can says to take it no more than twice. Or is it meant to work differently with this workout?

Alex  | 07.26.08 - 12:27 am
#657

kala,

You're only eating about 1100 calories a day and usually that's okay for overweight people but in your case it seems like your body has slowed down it's metabolism to help you survive on lower calories - Read this for more info on why this may have happened so...

For the next 10 days - you want to try eating more by going here and doing #5 while....

**Keeping up your ever changing workout routine and...

**Eating all the right weight loss foods

Eating more may actually raise your metabolism allowing you to normally burn more calories

If you have any questions or concerns - Please contact me ASAP

#656
ok, well let me say this i had a baby recently.But before that i was always in the gym. i ran track and stuff.neway ur work out has push me to the T!when i first started my intensity level was bout a 7.Now its definetly a 10.Everyday i switch up routines and my intensity level.my food intake is bf=200-300 lunch-300 snack-100-200 and dinner-300.

kala | 07.25.08 - 9:31 pm
#655

Kate,

NO - you only gain weight from EATING TOO MUCH (calories) and NOT being active.

#654
ok...i understand now. but wont eating all that protien make me gain weight? that's 400 calories a day just from that, plus the fruits and veggies and whatever meals i eat. that sounds like too much. or do you not count the calories in the protien, fruits and veggies?

kate | 07.25.08 - 10:51 am
#653

Kala,

If you're doing this diet here then you're already "eating less" so that's not the answer so if you could...

Can you tell me exactly how many calories a day you're eating and how many meals a day and as for trying a higher protein - Read tip #3 here & use it in conjunction with the lose 20 pounds diet you're on and I know you may have tried this already but...

Try using a different scale and when you're working out - tell me this...

On a scale of 1-to-10 how instense is the workout? You want to be at +7 and what may be happening is this...

The first time you did my workouts - you may have been at +7 intensity and maybe by the 3rd-4th-or-5th time doing my workouts it was only about a 4-to-7 intensity because YOU & YOUR body got used to the workouts so if this is the case...

This tells me you were or already were a very active person or at least... someone used to varying ranges of activity and basically all this means is...

You'll have to change up you workout routine much more often than other people maybe like doing something new everyday or every 3 days so also tell me this...

Did you used to be an athlete, very active?

Also - have you body fat % checked if you can.

and i know you're tired of me telling you this but Please read all 10 things here to make sure nothing is holding you back but...

Please give some feedback and...

Don't worry WE'LL FIGURE THIS Thing out together?

#652
ok , this the third week on this plan. my weight hasnt changed. I just feel like im toning and ive been working out so much and eating right. My main concern is dropping a pants size instead i feel like im just toning wut i have.yes, i have tried the other workouts youve suggest.should i keep going.. Do you think i should cut out carbs or eat less?

oh, yeah. im only using 3lb weights. so it cant be the weight training.

kala | 07.25.08 - 4:36 am
#651

mia,

Your abs will get flatter as a result of you losing body fat but don't expect to gain too much butt size while doing this weight loss plan...

It's best if you focus on the most important goal to you first which may be losing weight and then getting a bootylicous butt

#650
hi adrian i am going to start ur lose 20 pounds i was wondering if i do this will i be able 2 build a nice butt from this like i want a bootylicous butt and nice abs can ya help me plz thx!

mia | 07.25.08 - 2:48 am

Jazz,

Yes - drinking green tea is a good fat burner

#648
Adrian hey i need 2 do this diet my only question is if u have just regular green tea which is100% organic and usda organic i wanna know if i can use this and does this diet help with blasting fat away along if i excersise 2?

Jazz | 07.24.08 - 2:01 am
#647

Kala,

Yes but if you have time - go ahead and eat them raw

#646
? is it ok, to blend my fruits and vegtables together and drink them before each meal

kala | 07.23.08 - 9:22 pm
#645

Claire,

I would just stick with what's working right now since you're on a hot streak (lost 8 pounds in 10 days!) but...

I would still eat the Raw veggies and you can also drink the veggie juice like low sodium V8 since its low cal and avoid fruit juices because most of them are filled with sugar and no fiber.

#644
Hi,

I have followed this plan and lost 8 lbs in 10 days (goal was 30). However, I read on a separate page that drinking vegetable juice helps one to lose weight. Can I substitute vegetable juice for any of these servings or would that be as bad as fruit juice?

Thanks

Claire | 07.23.08 - 7:03 pm
#643

Kate,

You're supposed to eat 4 times a day on this diet and each of those times you're supposed to get in a 100 calorie source of protein and it can come from protein shakes or Or other protein food sources - Read #2 again above

#642
so i'm confused about the protien shakes. do i have to drink it 5 times a day? cant i just drink one glass in the morning and one with dinner? and instead of 5 meals a day, cant i just stick with 3? i really dont get hungry enough to eat 5 times a day.

kate | 07.23.08 - 8:42 am

Coral,

Here's your questions & my answers...

Because my weight is only 129, how much longer will it take me to get down to about 110?? ---- Since you're NOT 20 pounds overweight - it's going to take you longer than 4 weeks to lose weight and I recommend you do this weight loss plan here instead

--Are there alternatives to doing weight loss method 1 and 2, without using exercise equipment? --- Yes - You can do weight loss intervals

#640

Hello,

I'm 14 years old, appx. 5' 1", and weigh around 129 lbs. I have wondered a couple things for a while now:
Because my weight is only 129, how much longer will it take me to get down to about 110??
--Are there alternatives to doing weight loss method 1 and 2, without using exercise equipment?
--I run for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night, should I continue doing this? OR what can I do to get to my goal weight in 4 weeks??

I'm sorry for all the questions, but I cannot get the fat burning powders or the soy protein, I must stick to nuts and tuna. So I am worried that I will not execute this diet correctly. Please help.

Coral | 07.22.08 - 2:52 pm

#639
Adrian, just checking back to let you know I am down to 180 punds and I just started this past Sunday. It may very will be water weight I've lost, but my stomach looks a lot smaller and firmer. Exercise a few times a day in 30-45 minute intervals using Exercise TV (Thank you comcast!) I am going to continue on your plan for a month in hopes of getting down to 160 lbs.

Thanks again for the jumpstart!

Lani  | 07.24.08 - 11:08 am
#638

Lani,

Yes - from what you described... weight loss is feasible?

#637
Ok, but from what I described, does weighloss sound feasible?

Lani | 07.22.08 - 12:07 am
#636

Lani,

You need protein whether it comes from whey or soy or other protein food sources to lose weight but...

You can substitute soy protein for another 100 calorie protein source like a can of Tuna or chicken or a handful or Raw nuts like almonds, cashews or pecans

#635

I'm a 37 year-old female who is 5'1" and weighs 185. This is more than I weighed during either pregnancy with my 2 daughters! Ater years of takling diet pills like PhenFen, Phentermine, and Emagrece Sim, I have found losing weight especially hard. After a week vacationing in Jamaica, I returned a few days ago to find I'd gained 8 pounds! This sounds incredible to do within a week, but I did. Long story short: I need help! I started exercising and doing a modified version of your plan to lose 20 pounds in 14 days on yesterday. I eat an apple before a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, carrots before a turkey/ham sandwich on wheat bread for lunch, and fruit before turkey wings, chicken, etc n green beens for dinner.

My question is, is I eliminate the soy protein (tried it, hated it!) and don't eat the tuna (I'm too full) do you think I will achieve similar results as those you claim? Today will be the first day I used your recommeded exercise routine, which I plan to use as directed. Also, on yesterday I started doing the Dieter's Cleanse 14 day detox/cleaning program as well. I can honestly say my stomach has already gone down a lot in 2 days just from the initial exercising and modified diet and cleansing, but my goal is to lose roughly 40 pounds over the next few months.

THANKS,

Lani | 07.21.08 - 2:00 pm

#634

kala,

Like I said - you shouldn't worry about the scale as long as you're looking better but if you really want the scale to move...

You may want to lay off any workouts that involve weights "like the lose 15 pounds plan" but...

Other people have lost weight "seen the scale go down" doing the lose 15 pounds plan so what I'm thinking is...

YoU've never anything like this before and your body has adjusted by building better looking "firmer muscles" and I don't think you'll build too much more muscle anyway so really - what I suggest you do is...

keep doing what you're doing And try this other fast weight loss workout to mix things up for about 2-to-3 weeks and IF the scale still doesn't move... Try weight loss exercises that don't involve weight to make the scale move down

#633
so,if i were to keep doing the 15pounds fast workout plan, intervals and cardio. will i see the scale start to move? Cuz i love those exercises.

Jenni,

You may actually lose 20 pounds in 3-to-4 weeks because of your height & weight and you may also be able to stay on this diet for 4-to-8 weeks instead of 3-to-4. Go here to see why and...

Look at this so you can get motivated and not be nervous

#631
I have been going to the gym for about a month and doing cardio machines 4 days a week, weights 3 days a week and aerobics 2-4 times a week (depending on my energy level). I am 5'4" and weigh 235pounds. The gym I go to is holding a "Body Blitz Comp" that I'm interested in competing in and am wondering approx how much I could lose by following the 20pounds in 3-4 weeks to kick start my weight loss then moving onto one of your other programs. My current fitness routine will change during this time as I will have a 2 x 30-45min PT sessions each week over 8 weeks. The reason I ask is because I am nervous about the reveal at the end of the comp because of my current size/weight

vterry1,

You can drink green tea instead of taking weight loss pills and Read #2 here again about whey & soy protein because...

If you don't have whey or soy - you can replace it with another 100 calorie source of protein

#629
help!! i do not have whey or soy and i dont have fat burnner pills so what do i do?

#628

Kala,

You said "i look and feel smaller but the scale isnt moving/showing. Wut should i do?"

NOTHING - that's great, all this means is that you're body is adjusting to the workouts you've been doing by building some muscle that's firming you up making you look 5-to-10 pounds lighter.

Read # 9 of 10 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau to understand better and...

If you're really concerned about making the weight loss scale move - which you shouldn't be in my opinion since you said yourself you're looking better - Swith to this workout plan here which involves more cardio only but...

Congrats and Good job on looking better (FORGET what the scale says!)

#627
ive been doing this plan for 2weeks now.i havnt seen any weightloss.im 210lbs 5'7 tall. ive been doing lose 15 pounds fast, cardio and the interval. im pushing myself hard!But the thing is, i look and feel smaller but the scale isnt moving/showing. Wut should i do?

Hi, I am 14 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and currently between 168 and 170 pounds. I want to lose about 20-25 pounds before school starts on August 25th. Everyone I talk to has told me that I don't look overweight at all, and I know I may not be THAT MUCH overweight, which could mean that I may not be able to lose weight as fast as I want, but what do you think is the fastest way for me to lose that weight without the pills or powders? I do go running about 3 to four times a week for about 20-30 minutes at a time and I have been eating healthier for about a year and gotten no change.

Brianna | 07.19.08 - 2:37 am

Jenni,

If you exercise - you can probably stay on this plan for up to 8 weeks and Read this on VLCD to see why and...

If the 2 scoops are no more than 100-to-150 calories then it's OKay and shouldn't hurt your weight loss

#623

Hi Adrian,

I am 5'3 and weigh about 253 lbs, I am hoping to lose 20 pounds to kick start my weight loss where I plan on losing around 100 pounds in total.

I was wondering about the whey protein as you advise to make 1 scoop with 8-12 oz of water, the one that I have purchased has suggested 2 scoops to the same amount of water. Can you let me know whether this will have an effect my weight loss.

Also can you advise as to how long is it reasonably safe for me to continue on this plan, as I have a long way to go.

Thanks in advance.

Gwen Celestine,

The main thing you need to do is find 4-to-5 separate times during the day when you can eat (the only reason why I'm allowing you to get away with 5 meals is to help you cope with your 2 jobs) so...

You definitely want to eat between 7-to-8am before your first job and then you want to try to eat every 3-to-4 hours after that by following rules 1- thru-4 but...

If you don't have any weight loss emergencies - then I suggest you do this basic weight loss plan here where you don't have to count calories or exercise so you can still work 2 jobs and lose weight but on the other hand...

If you're trying to lose weight fast before a wedding or something like that then...

#You're going to have to find some time in your busy schedule to workout and a good way to find time to workout to lose weight fast is to follow fast weight loss tip #1 here and...

#You should also look into taking a fat burner to speed up your weight loss and...

#if your job is stressful - you WILL HAVE to find a way to cope with daily stress so the stress won't make you hungry and gain weight (especially belly fat)and...

Since you have 2 jobs and may not have much time to exercise - you're going to have to focus more on "WHAT" you eat and "HOW MUCH" you eat to lose weight until...

You can come with a plan for yourself on how to make time to exercise to lose weight and...

Please contact me again if you need more help

#619
How can I do this plan and I work 2 jobs, 1st one from 8am - 5pm, and the 2nd from 6pm -11pm?

Alexi,

If you don't like pills then just drink natural green tea and the best 'tweak' I can give you is for you to do this workout plan here while on this diet

#605
Hi,
I'm 15 years old and I weigh 175 lbs. I don't like being this overweight, and I don't really look that overweight. But I would like to slim down before school starts back on the 8th of August. I'm not sure at my age I should be taking the recommended fat burning pills. Any suggestions on how to tweak the diet to work more for me?

YES... SInce you're a little more than only 10 pounds overweight the r other fat burners will be a good idea for you to use and...

Instead of doing this plan Do this weight loss plan to lose last 10 pounds and You can eat weight loss foods like oatmeal for energy

#601

Hi Adrian,

I was thinking if this plan would work out for me as I have a vacation in just about 3 weeks!

I am 21 years old, 5'1, 170lbs and I am quite overweight. I am not a very motivated person but I'm figuring that it's time for me to get back to my old self which was 120lbs and 5'1. So I have gained a lot of excess weight and I really need to get out of this cycle. I am also Asian so not sure if this has anything to do with the weight loss.

Do you think this plan is suitable for me? I would appreciate your oppinion!

Thanks so much!

Bob,

According to this chart at the bottom - you're only a measely 2 pounds overweight and since you're not TOO overweight...

You can't expect to lose weight real fast on ANY plan but you can lose weight - you'll just lose weight at a slower rate and...

1 apple per meal should be fine since the fiber in apples is know for doing a good job of suppressing appetite but here's what you really need to do...

Do this fat loss plan here instead since you're not overweight and YES...

For your low weight - it's a good idea to add a fat burner in your weight loss arsenal since it's going to be more challenging for you to lose weight than it will be for a more overweight person and...

Feel free to Ask me as many questions as you want dealing with fat loss.

#599

I am 5'7 and 165 pounds and am not happy at all with it.So first how over weight would you say i am and being at that weight how fast or sow do you think the weight will come of if i follow your plan? I am more then willing to do your plan no problem but , as i am a bad picky eater, eating 8 apples a day gets rather expensive. So do you have any suggestions for me. I love non fat yogurt but i am sure that wont fall in to play. I will be drinking my whey with milk so i know i need to cut the milk calories off the 0-300 extra. I will do the exercise but is cardio or power sculpting with light weights 10 lbs better or should i combine them or only one or the other? I want to lose this weight and am willing to put in the time but i cant afford 8 apples a day, would it be bad if i cut it to only 1 apple per meal instead of 2? Or maybe one apple and one non fat yogurt? I need some help here so if you can please let me know.

Its bob again do i need to take a fat burner. I noticed the weight gain in my stomach and sides but and this may soudn weird but my but is not as firm as it was. I want to firm it up so i want to lose weight and firm things up but yet i have heard do cardio , cardio , cardio and more cardio, but if i do lots of cardio how will that firm up the but and cause weight loss?
Thank you.

John,

It really all comes down to how many calories you eat and how active you are when it comes to weight loss so YES...

This plan will still work for you and the whole night eating thing doesn't really make you gain weight but it also puts you at sort of a disadvantage because when sleeping at night you're metabolism is at it's slowest

#597

I work nights. I get up at 3pm. I would like to try this plan. I have heard that eating late at night will cause you to gain weight. Does it matter what time I eat as long as I eat in the 3-4 hour intervals 4 times daily and follow the two veggies and protein shake before a small 100-300 calorie meal?

John | 07.10.08 - 6:48 am

Hi,

Twenty months ago I gave birth to twins. I am now anxious to get back to my pre pregnancy weight of 120-125 lbs. I am 5'3" and currantly weigh a 143 lbs. I would like very much to lose these extra 20. What plan will work best for me?

Thanks!

Stephanie,

Go here to get rid of flabby arms

Yes - you can blend all the fruits, protein, and etc. and...

Never worry about asking me a lot a of questions - Ask as many questions as you need to that may help you reach your goals to look better

#593

Thanks Adrian,
Reading those helped me understand. I have another question. I started my workout routine again this morning, and I pretty much know how to target all my problem areas except the flab under my arm. Do you have any workout suggestions for that particular area ?


Sorry about all these questions, but, I was wondering, when I eat my fruits and protien drink in the morning, Im usually not that hungry afterwards, so I have about 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Would it be ok to put the fruit, protein powder, oatmeal and water in the blender instead of eating it separately ?

Thanks

Stephanie | 07.09.08 - 9:35 am

#592

Jordan,

Since you are not overweight... it's going to be harder for you to lose weight "FAST" so.. You may need the fat burning pills to help with faster weight loss and YES...

You can replace whey or soy protein with other 100 calorie sources of protein - read #2 again and...

If you ever get hungry - it's okay to eat more raw fruits & veggies

#591

hello adrian,
i've really enjoyed your website, and i think you have some really great tips for quick weight-loss.

i started following your plan (or at least a version of your plan) yesterday and i had a few questions. i'm 22 yrs. old, 5'5, and 140 lbs--with a vacation coming up in 6 weeks, i want to look the best possible. i was curious if it was possible to follow your plan without the fat burning pills and protein powder, if i make my meal calories higher in protein?

i like that your diet is logical and just all-around healthy, and eating the raw fruit and vegetables really does appease one's appetite...

i'm still drinking at least 70 oz. of water, 4 meals a day, although i haven't really been hungry for breakfast after eating my raw vegetables and fruit, so yesterday i took in about 700 cals (without fruit/vegetables) and today will most likely be less looking at my daily menu (i like to plan ahead)...is this too low? also, i'm doing your workout number 1 in the mornings before breakfast (3 reps, 10 minutes interval training).

also, if i eat dinner at 7:30 and find that an hour later i'm still hungry, is it ok to eat another raw vegetable so long as it's not too close to when i go to bed?

i appreciate any feedback you might have!

jordan | 07.09.08 - 9:30 am

#589
Hi Adrian,
I was just wondering. I've been reading the comments and your answers, and you've said that if your not overweight this diet won't shed off the pounds as quickly as it would if I was overweight. Why is that ?

Thanks

At 165 pounds and 5'10 - you're not overweight and look good so you'll need to do this plan here to lose weight and go here to get rid of stretch marks

#587
Hello,
Im 165 pounds and im 5'10 im 21 yrs old i've never been this big. I wanna lose this weight and i wanna lose it fast. I also got some strechmarks that im not so happy with. Do u know how i can lose the weight and the strechmarks quick?

Sandra |   07.08.08 - 4:59 pm
#586

Christina,

YES, as long as the 2 sccops=100 cals.

usually 1 scoop from protein mixes = 100 calories

Don't use splenda because even though it may be low or 0 calorie - It will still cause you to crave for more sugar

#585

hello,

it says to add one scoop of whey protein but the proein i have, 100 cal equals 2 scoops is this okay? also can you add splenda to the green tea? i am currently 176 and 5ft 1 inch is it possible for me to lose 20lbs in 3-4 weeks?

thanks christina

Christina | 07.08.08 - 12:54 am

#584

Derek,

I don't think you should even be trying to lose weight if you only weigh 147 pounds and male but...

Whey protein is safe for everybody and instead of taking pills you can drink green tea.

#583

My name is Derek and I am 147 lbs.

I'm 15 is the whey protein healthy for me?

I would really like if i could not take all those weight loss pills and such being my age, so you recommend anything to substitute that. Something my parents would go for.

I am very interested in this site

i would be very thankful if i can get a soon answer

thank you

Portia,

When you lose weight - you lose weight all over your body and no one can really pinpoint where you'll lose weight from but generally...

* If most of your fat is in your hips or other areas of your body - then you'll probably lose fat from those areas first before you start losing a lot of belly fat and vice versa...
* If most of your fat is in your belly area - then you'll lose belly fat faster than you will off other areas of your body

#581

Adrian,
One more thing....the weight gain affects my abs, hips and thighs as in my pants are quite uncomfortable. During this time when I am not doing a structured daily work out, will I still be able lose the weight in the abs, hips and thighs?

Portia | 07.07.08 - 9:15 pm

#580

Portia,

The hydroxycut and CLA are fine but it also wouldn't hurt to add in some cups of green tea whenever you can

#579

Adrian,
Thanks for the advice & I will be happy with losing 2lbs/week, especially since I am not able to exercise for awhile.

The 20# was gained over a period of time...maybe a year or so. My weight fell between 110/ 115 & I was physically & mentally comfortable in that weight range.

At 130#, I feel the opposite.

I finished the 1st day of your plan eating apples, brocolli & carrots followed by the protein shake and then a small meal. I find that my hunger level is at a 1 or 2. My total calorie intake today is 1270.

The plan is do-able & seems to control my craving for unhealthy foods especially the bad carbs.
And yes, mixing 8oz of water with the protein powder makes much more sense; I tried the 3oz before reading your response & it was very thick and gummy.

I ordered a bottle of CLA to supplement and taking Hydroxycut caffeine free with green tea ingredients....is this sufficient or should I still drink 5 cups of green tea per day?

Thanks again for your advice and being patient with my concerns and questions!

Portia | 07.07.08 - 9:07 pm

Lolz,

Yes - the trampoline will help you lose weight but you should do other weight loss activities by going on this weight loss workout program here

#577

If I get a mini trampoline and jump on it for 2 hrs a day how much will I lose in a week,

But does the trampoline help lose alot of weight. I also want to lose about 40 before or later school.

Should I do the mini trampoline every day ??

Lolz | 07.07.08 - 4:51 pm

#576

Jordan,

You need to drink up to 5 cups of green tea a day to get the weight loss benefits and if you can't or don't have time to make green tea - Look at the top 3 green tea diet pills

#575

I'm 165cm tall and I need to know how long you have to drink green tea to lose 10 pounds.....

and also how many cups per day.

Thanx

#572

Portia,

3oz of water must be a misprint because you'd have a hard time mixing it in 1 scoop so yes - I would use 8-12oz of water and...

In your case - try to stay as active as you can by incorporating activities such as cleaning, ironing, parking further away etc. and...

how long did it take you to gain 20 pounds?

The reason why I ask is because you're already at a OK weight you're not overweight and you probably look good already but what I'm trying to say is...

DO NOT expect any fast weight loss results because of your low weight maybe UNLESS...

You gained the 20 pounds real quick then maybe - you might be able to lose that weight quickly but if not...

Only expect to lose up to 2 pounds a week.

#571

Hi Adrian,
I started this plan today to lose the 20# I've put on. I am 5'4", female, 130 lbs, 41 years old.

I'm drinking Whey protein by Designer Whey; the direction says to mix 3oz of water with 1 scoop of powder. Should I follow it or mix 8-12oz of water as you instructed?

Also, I strained my back a couple of weeks ago while exercising. I'm not back to 100% yet, so I have not since exercised. However, I do incorporate activities such as cleaning, ironing, parking further away etc. during the day. Will this be sufficient while I'm on the diet plan? Also taking a fat burner per your instructions.

Look forward to your response & thanks for having such an insightful and useful website.

icyblueh20,

If you're already drinking green tea then you can get away without using hydroxycut and...

You can count the water you use in the soy as your 70oz but...

Remember - you're only 10 pounds overweight so you're weight loss may be only 1-to-2 pounds a week and if this is your first time trying to lose weight...

This plan may work for you fine but... if this isn't your first weight loss attempt...

I strongly suggest you take a look at and try the how to lose last 10 pounds plan here

#567

Hi Adrian,
I am 29 yr old female 5'3" and 140 lbs.
I am very excited about your information on this site. My goal is a minimum of 20 lbs to lose if not more. In regards to a fat burner I currently take 1 hydroxy cut, because any more than that it makes me feel sick. Is it alright to only take one fat burner in the a.m.? or can I drink hot green tea w/ lunch, snack and dinner? Also the soy protein mixed w/ water...does the oz of water mixed with soy protein count towards the total 70oz water a day? Thank you for assistance!!
Today is my first day will update next week...thanks again!! VI GIRL

Sandy Girl from California,

1. Yes - always take your daily vitamins See fast weight loss tip #17 to see why

2. use green tea everyday for this emergency diet ND IF Your workout is in the morning - then YES... take green tea before your workout but other than that...

It doesn't matter as long as you take it 1-to-2 times a day

3. Any whey protein is good and make sure each scoop or serving is only 80-to-120 calories and YES...

whey protein helps control hunger but if it doesn't replace whey protein with another 100 calorie source of protein like tuna or raw nuts

4. Relacore contains ingredients to help you deal with STRESS and you should only look into relacore if you can't deal with stress but you should first make your only plan for dealing with stress because...

It's going to be hard to lose weight while being stressed out.

I'll be happy to answer any more questions you may have

#565

I'm new to your system and I have few questions. I'm 35, 5'3" and 163 pounds. I want to lose about 30 pounds in the next 7 weeks. I exercise 2x week at a gym, and right now I take some vitamins in the morning.

1. I want to know if it's OK to keep drinking the vitamins (B, E, Zinc and Biotin) while drinking the fat burner and whey protein.

2. I have here a green-tea based fat burner that I bought. Should I use it just before the workout session at the gym or everyday?

3. I have the Whey protein in powder - 100% gold standard. Is this one OK? Should I use it together with the rest? Is it going to help me control the hunger?

4. Out of curiosity, do you know anything about that Relacore to lose weight and its connection with stress?

These are my questions. Once I have a reply, I'll start the program - also add some treadmill walking everyday to my exercise routine, and report back on the weight loss.

To tell you the truth - I'm not sure but I don't think it'll take away from any weight loss benefits you get from green tea

#542

Bob,

NO - you're not overweight and...

If you're going to have 80 calorie milk then you needto subtract that from your 300 calorie meal and you don't count frutis and veggies in your calorie total since they're negative calories -Read #9 here and...

For my diet plan you eat UP TO 300 calories depending on your hunger level so you always won't be eating the max 300 calories esp. if you eat 2 large "appetite suppressing" apples anyway.

As far as i know the 30 day shred is a kinda of emergency plan to get you looking your best in 30 days so NO - TAKE no breaks if your goal is to look your best in 30 days
How much water exactly do you drink?

"Research has shown that a person can safely drink up to 10 liters of water a day. That would equal 10 one-liter bottles of water. An exception would be persons with kidney disease who are limited in the amount of water they can drink per day. Persons with bladder infections benefit from increasing their water intake."

As far as the low calorie danger - you should only stay on this plan for 4 weeks to prevent any slow down of metabolism (overweight people can stay on this plan longer and it's really not low calorie if you do eat the 1200 + protein and veggies and this diet is made uop of mostly whole foods that keeps your metabolism revved up.

contact if you have more questions

#541

Ok I have started on your plan but if i do the math it seems like alot of calories. I was eating a total of 1500 a day with small meals. I am 5'7 and 163. But looking at this program here it seems i will be close to the same calorie amount if not more.

100 whey protein
80 no fat milk
2 apples 160
plus up to 300 calorie meal

Now if you add that up you are at
640 per meal that is alot. Now even if i cut one apple out cause i cant drink the whey without milk that still only subtracts 80 calories. So i need some help I am confused if i follow you plan exaclty i will be eating more calories then i was before. And if i cut out the up to 300 calorie i am only eating whey protein and apples a day and that is it. That does not seem like it would be enough. Maybe i am wrong.

So what is the best way to do this knowing the milk has to stay 80 cal. and i only like apples 80 cal a pieace. Whats the best way.

Thanks for your help Bob.
p.s. i am on my 12th day of 30 day shred which i do every day i take no break as she says to do it every day, so i am on level 2 since its day 12. And ofcourse tommorw will be day 13 level 2. Is it good to take a break day or no?

And with drinking all the water that i drink a day 80 + ounces a day i go to the bathroom alot is that bad for you , is that alot for your kidneys?

I know its alot of questions but it will really help.

Oh one last thing i forgot. Is 5'7 163 really overweight?

Its bob again, are you not counting the calories from the whey protein and fruit in the daily calorie intake? Cause i though a calorie was a calorie? It was a thought. But if you could please answers all the questions i had before that would be great.

Also i do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred each morning right after i wake up, and yes everybody i am a guy and i do the 30 day shred

One last comment i am sorry but i got thinking, if you don't count the calories from the whey or the fruit and only count the cal from the 0-300 you eat for food, even at max you are at 1200 cal 4 x 300 =1200 Now is that really safe cause i read somewhere that you should not eat that low amount of calories as your body would hold on to the food and store it as fat, hence ganing weight, so it seems no matter how i count the calories it turns out bad. If i count everything i am way high on calories if i dont then i am very low on calories and not eating enough from articles you have written. Can you please explain this?

I thank you for all your help and you selfless work here. You are gift to all of us.
Thank you

Misty,

Send me your diet charts and tell me again how tall you are?

Read how to break out of a weight loss plateau

Do you think the hunger could be coming from STRESS?

The good news is this - your desire & motivation to lose weight is STRONG so the only thing we need to do is simply change something (we just to have to figure out what) to get you losing weight again

Hi Adrian,

I started this eating plan on 06/14. My starting weight was 160#'s. Today, I am still 157#'s. I don't understand why I haven't lost more yet. As a matter of fact, I have actually gained 2 from earlier this week! I was down to 155. I PROMISE I am following this plan, with the exception of the water and protein substitute we discussed earlier. I am staying with workout #1 and completing it twice. On the week days I don't do this workout, I walk for one hour up and down a hill, and on the weekends, I walk about 45 minutes, usually on a flat surface. If you have time, I would very much like for you to look over my meals (I record everything). If you can do this, please e-mail me @ love.bearsall@yahoo.com and I will send you an attachment of what I have been eating these last few weeks. Perhaps there is something there I am just not seeing?

I realize this is asking a lot, and if you can't do this I FULLY understand. I am just getting really frustrated right now and hoping to find a solution to this problem.

Oh, one more thing I forgot to say. These last couple of days I have found myself VERY hungry!! I haven't had to deal with that for a long time and that makes it very difficult to do things right. Yesterday, I went up to 1400 calories because I just couldn't stand not to eat!

Thanks Adrian

Rachel,

Don't worry - you're losing weight fast because depending on your height you may be over 20 pounds overweight so you're a prime candidate for quick weight loss on this plan and YES...

another reason for the fast weight loss is becasue the high fiber from fruits, veggies, protien, and water make you less hungry so you eat less and lose weight faster.

Good job on the quick 6 pounds you lost!

#537
its my 5th day on ur diet. going REALLY good. i get absolutely no hunger pangs and i'm doing everything u asked.
the ONLY thing i'm worried about is dat i checked da scales today and i am already 6 pounds off. 195 to 189. AM I LOSING WEIGHT TOO FAST? is it gonna harm me in any way?
am i losing so fast bcuz i dont have enuff space after all da fruit n veggies n protein to stuff any more? i am also adding dairy to my diet. low fat yogurt and milk.

Robin,

As far a veggies vs. fruits - I'm going to say veggies but that's only becasue I like them better but I know people who've got good results eating both so If you're undecided - just mix them up and here's a bonus tip for ya: See 199 weight loss foods

s just one of the many fat burners out tere that work for people but I mainly picked those becasue I know people who've used it and lost weight but is only my recommendation - you may know someone in your area that tried fat burner X and lost weight - You don't have to go by my recommendations, I suggest you alos research and see which fat burners may work the best for you and ask me questions if you need help choosing one.

#535
Hi, I just got back from the store getting the things I need to start this plan. Yours is the most realistic plan I have ever seen and believe me I have been looking at alot of them. I do of course have 2 questions. how did you come to the conclusion to recommendx. it seems too good to be true. also, with the fruits and veggies, would I get better results if I lean toward one over the other... in other words would I get quicker results if i eat more fruits than veggies or visa versa or does it matter. thanks for being here and being so generous. I am very excited about doing this.

RicciRox ,

Your workout plan seems pretty normal to me - you are taking 2-to-3 days off which is a good thing but YES - a multivitaimin may help but cramping could be because of a whole lot of other unrelated factors

#531

Hi Adrian! You ROCK! I love, love your website! It is extremely helpful and immensely informative! and all of this for FREE! lovesit!

I'm 23, weigh around 182lbs at 5'5". I need to lose weight quick, fast, and in a hurry! 4 weeks exactly. I've been following the diet plan "to lose 20lbs in 3-4 weeks" for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I also take Hydroxycut, work out, and lift weights 3-5x a week, in the evenings, and 2x a week in the mornings on those same days when I work out in the evenings. So that means I have 2-3 "off" days where I dont work out. I've lost 12 lbs and gained muscle, as well. I am a little concerned about eating four times a day. I drink about 4 liters of ice water a day. I can eat four times a day, just not all that is required with the diet, though. ALL of the water, coupled with eating, leaves me absolutely "stuffed". It seems like I can only drink 8 oz of whey protein and have a piece of fruit. I just dont have room to eat another fruit/veggie or muchless a meal. I've been experiencing muscles cramps, every other day, especially while jogging.

Here's my question: Do you think I'm over-working my muscles by working out so often? Or could I prevent cramps from eating more food? (common sense would tell me I'm deprived of some kind of nutritent, therefore causing cramps?) Should I take a multivitamin and continue eating the way I am? Any advice would tremendously helpful. THANK YOU!


#530
I'm beginning to lose weight again. I cheated for 3 days and when I got back on the plan on Monday, I started losing weight at the same pace. Even though on the plan it says not to cheat, having at least one cheat day can be the best thing when one hits a plateau! It's like the body is being tricked to burning more fat.

z.baldawi,

You're doing everything right and whether you lose 20 pounds or not all depends on how overweight you are -

#528

Hi my name is Zara. I'm 15 years old and not really overweight. The things I really want to slim down and I'm leaving for france in about a week and I'm planning on following your awesome "diet" in france for about 3-4 weeks.
Hopefully you'll have time to answer this question of mine:

I'll wake up and exercise for about 35 minutes (power-walk/walk)

The I'll drink a cup of green tea and I'll have two carots.

Breakfast: ice cold Water and a healthy sandwich (up to 300 cal)

In between I'll swim for about 2 h.

Before Lunch I'll drink Ice cold water and I'll have two other vegetables.

Lunch: Up till 250 calories.

Snack: same

Dinner: same+ sallad.

Am I doing this right, and will this result in me losing about 20 pounds?


z.baldawi@hotmail.com

Thank you soo much!

Rachel,

It's okay to replace the whey or soy protein with another 100 calorie source of protein like egg whites

#526

hey Adrian,

this is an amazing website and ACTUALLY helpful. i've seen so many exercises, loved them. most of them, at home, easy to do.

i'm 23, 195lbs. and 5"3. i've lost around 25lbs. already in the last 6 months by diet and exercise, on and off.

now i need to stick to one as i'm getting married in 3 months. gotta take at least 40 lbs. off my body. i find this one pretty good and interesting.

the problem is:

THIS FOOD SEEMS A LOT TO ME! i've tried it and i am not used to eating so much and so often. my body doesn't accept so much food. mainly bcuz i am on this medicine called REDUCTIL, the doctor prescribed me which reduces ur appetite.
is it possible that i take lesser calories than those mentioned and STILL be able to lose weight fast and not get deprived of the benefits of this diet?

and second, can i replace the whey protein or soy protein with 2 EGG WHITES? i am taking 2 egg whites along with a few, exactly 6-8 peanuts. or sometimes i take chicken patty with the peanutes instead of egg whites. is that ok?

please reply. thanks a billion for ur help.

Confused in Minnesota,

I don't think you should too much about what your scale says in your case because you said - "I have however, seen a change in my legs and arms and even my face" and...

This tells me that you've gained some muscle which is good by the way! and burned some fat so...

As long as you're looking better - don't worry about what the scale says

#524

Hi Again, I am 4'11, 192 lbs and have been on the plan for 8 days. I am overweight but I don't look it so much. I have always worked out and therefore just look a bit bulky. I go to the gym 4x's a week and do Will power & Strengthen training, cycling, a kicking boxing class and an all about abs class during the week. I just starting lifting weights because I know this is what is going to help me burn fat the most. I know I haven't lost any weight because I weighed myself yesterday and nothing. I have however, seen a change in my legs and arms and even my face. Could it be possible to lose weight without losing lbs?

You asked what other weight loss programs I was on before and the answer is none. The truth is that I had lost 35lbs at one point by going to the gym and working very hard while there, cutting calories and staying active with as many sports as I could.I managed to maintain my weight for almost 3yrs. Just last winter, after taking some very difficult courses in college, I gained all the weight back, I figure that I was stressed and over ate.

I would love to weigh 115 lbs once again. I will reduce my protein by half so that I am drinking 100 calories instead of the 210 I was drinking per serving and I will let you know what happens sometime next week. Thanks so much for your rapid reply and all your help.

Confused in Minnesota ,

Remember - You're protein or whey protein servings should only be 100 calories each and after you eat veggies and protein you only eat 0-to-300 calories based on hunger level so look at #2 & #3 again and...

How much do weigh? - you say you haven't gained or lost right? and how long have you been on this plan and what -if any- weight loss plans were you on before doing this plan

#522
Hi,
First of all, I'd like to stay that this is the first time I am actually excited about a weight loss plan because you explained everything almost perfectly. However, I am little confused about taking Whey protein. Are women suppose to take it? I have been following your 3-4 week plan to no avail. I thought that perhaps I was over eating but as I counted my calories, I noticed I was eating roughly, 1231 calories + 4 servings of the Whey protein which brings my calories to 2071. I have completely stop drinking anything besides water since I am not to crazy about milk. I exercise daily, whether at the gym or doing household chores or with my children. What am I doing wrong? I feel great though, full of energy and I've noticed that I don't have to rely on caffeine anymore.

You Only need diet pills if you're not overweight and/or you have a real weight loss emergency (Like going to the beach in 2 weeks) where you need to lose as much weight as possible

#520
I've been trying to research the fat burner pills and the side effects...I've seen some negative reviews and I'm scared to use them...do I have to take a fat burner pill?

I started this plan in the middle of May. I only lost about 4 pounds in 2 weeks (from 186 to 182) , then I went on vacation for a week, and I let my diet go. I gained those 4 pounds back plus 3 pounds of water weight. I got back on the diet on June 3rd and I lost that weight plus 4 more so I was at 178. I happened to have hit a pleateau the day before my vacation. I've been on this plateau for about 4 days.

Omayra,

How long have you been on your plateau?

8 pounds in 2 weeks is pretty good - Are you sure you're not panicking too early?

But to break out of your weight loss plateau (which you may not have) the main thing you can do is to keep trying other things exercise wise to stimulate your fat burning metabolism - Have you tried fast weight loss workouts #1 or #2 hereand make sure you stay on this plan for just 2 more weeks or no longer than 4 weeks and later on today...

I'm releasing a new weight loss plan you can try to break out of your weight loss plateau but...

It's been 2 weeks since I got back on the plan and I've lost 8 lbs. I've hit a plateau, even after starting Hip Hop Abs volume 2.

I'm also drinking more water than usual and I'm still not losing any more.

I'm already taking 2 kinds of fat burners.

What more can I do???

Thanks

Kahi,

You're not limited to only the workouts I recommend so you can do your own workouts but the key to any weight loss workout is that you finsih it - even if you have to take a lot of breaks to do so.

Read fast weight loss tips #1 & #2 here

#510
I think that i am too overweight and it is very hard for me to complete the workout plan with this diet. Is there an easier way for me to get my workout done without getting so tired after that long time?

Shonna,

On this diet you can and it's not as bad if you were to eat sugary foods but it's better to eat more weight loss foods for your 0-to-300 calorie meals

#508
Can you eat pasta for the meals? Most diet plans eliminate carbs such as potatoes, pasta etc.

Alexandria,

Of course you can drink glasses of green tea everyday instead of taking green tea diet pills but you need to drink 3-to-5 cups of green tea to get the benefits

Instead of taking green tea pills, can I just drink glasses of green tea everyday?

if you don't like whey protein - you can eat another 100 calorie high protein source - please look at #2 again

Adrian,
I don't like the whey protein in the water, and I don't like it plain. Can I mix Stevia; a natural sweetner; in my water, or will I gain wait with it?

You do burn more fat in the morning so yes - I think it'll make a little difference if you didn't workout in the morning but not AS BIG of a difference if you didn't workout at all
