To lose your last 10 pounds in 40 days or less...

If you ever get stuck... You can ask me for help but before you do...Please Look at why you can't lose weight and Look at 13 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau first and...

Catherine

#1 - the muscle you gained will make you look slimmer so you probably should have bet your boyfriend you would look better with a lower body fat & LOL and...

#2 in your case as with anybody else trying to lose last bits of fat - you need to increase intensity before adding MORE STUFF so...

#3 for your hill sprints - you can run faster up the hills or run up a longer hill or better yet...

#4 - stop doing the hills and do a different interval workout all together but...

make sure whatever different interval you do is more intense than the hill sprints.

You can try adding the jump rope but i think in my own personal experience of losing my last few pounds of fat...

I always lost fat doing a differnet more intense routine or increasing the intensity of what I'm already doing instead of adding more low intensity stuff

Adrian Bryant | 06.28.09 - 6:04 pm

Ok,

I've been doing this weight loss program for two weeks and my weight is hovering in between 138 and 140 lbs.

I bet my boyfriend $400 that i could get down to 130 lbs by July 18th. I did not realize then how hard it was going to be to lose that last ten lbs.

I am going to continue doing this weight loss plan but i want to add two hours of jump rope per day. one before lunch and one at night. I will do intervals in the morning before breakfast.

My question is, is this dangerous? Is it too much to expect of my body? I do not want to get injured and not be able to work out at all.

P.S. Ive been doing the hill intervals. They really work! My legs are really toning up. I would think that my lack of weight loss is just added muscle from that but i have not lost an inch from my waist. I'm really ready to get serious and be done with these last ten lbs.

Take the lowest measurement

Adrian Bryant | 06.28.09 - 5:11 pm

I measured at the navel this morning before breakfast and it said 32 inches. 3 small meals later around 4:00 I measured again and it said 33 inches. Which one is goin to be my real waist size so i know what my bf% is?

jim | 06.27.09 - 10:39 am

Catherine

always shoot for lower body fat % BUT YES...

it takes time to lose that last bit of belly fat and...

you can also go to NowLoss.com/flat to help speed up the process

Adrian Bryant | 06.26.09 - 8:47 pm

Hey,

I am getting so much information from your site. Thanks so much!

I am 140 lbs, 5'7". My waist measurement at my navel is about 32". at its smallest point it is 28" My body has always stored fat in my abdomen. I desperately want a flat stomach.

I am doing the lose ten lbs in forty days program on your site. Seems to be working. I think I'll lose the ten lbs, but not sure if my stomach will be flat even after that.

My first question is, in your experience, how long does it normally take for someone similar to me in weight and height, who stores fat in their abdomen, to get a flat stomach?

I read on your site that women need 14% body fat to have a flat stomach. Is this true even if i store fat in my abdomen? Should i shoot for a lower body fat percentage?

Thanks again!

Doing the home weight loss workout twice a day is fine but...

Instead of increasing the time increase the intensity by running a longer distance between cones or running faster so you realy want to keep your workouts to a short but very intense 10-to-40 minutes

Adrian Bryant | 06.21.09 - 6:51 pm

hi
nice stuff here
well i have read a lot of things here.
i want to do the home weight loss workout..coz it fits daily routine .im 15 n not overweight..but im tired of comments said about me.hope u understand that ..its really embarrassing.
can i do the workout twice a day n 5 times a week?
n should i begin with 30-40 min for two weeks .i will increase it every 2 weeks.so after 2 weeks ill be doin for 50 min twice a day n so on...OR shud i directly do it for 50+ min till i reach my goal

ssmith | 06.21.09 - 4:52 am

Thorton

Yes - you can still maintain most of your muscle.

Muscle loss comes more from inactivity

Adrian Bryant | 06.19.09 - 8:23 pm

Would I still maintain muscle if i don't eat the required grams protein per meal?

I don't know any 200-300 calorie meals besides protein bars and shakes

Thorton | 06.19.09 - 3:37 pm

anonymous

Yes you can do that

Adrian Bryant | 06.19.09 - 10:16 am

Hey can i do a couple ab exercises on Wednesdays(day off from workout) to build up my six pack? I was thinking of doin hanging leg raises and reverse sit-ups

anonymous | 06.18.09 - 6:25 pm

Luke

It doesn't matter when you do your workout - you'll still pretty much get the same results but if you need the energy...

You may want to workout 1-to-2 hours after your meal

Adrian Bryant | 06.18.09 - 3:42 pm

Thanks Adrian..and should I do the second workout after my last meal to burn more calories?

luke | 06.18.09 - 1:59 pm

luke

Yes - but it's better to have 5 smaller meals - go here to see why

Adrian Bryant | 06.18.09 - 1:01 pm

can I have 3 or 4 bigger meals instead of 5 smaller ones?

luke | 06.18.09 - 11:50 am

anthony

you can but it's best that you try to do b-ball just on Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday

Adrian Bryant | 06.17.09 - 9:54 pm

Can I play basketball on these days too?

anthony | 06.17.09 - 9:06 pm

cruise

You could but you really don't need to if you're doing the fast weight loss workouts since they work the same muscles that pullups work

Adrian Bryant | 06.17.09 - 10:12 pm

I was thinking of doing the fast weight loss workouts in the mornings and evenings.

But can I add a pull up workout somewhere in between or should I just wait until I burn off the fat?

cruise | 06.17.09 - 7:58 pm

craig

Well, of course the drinking (beer) will slow down your progress and...

fat burners help by giving you an extra boost of energy during workouts to make you workout more intense plus...

some fat burners have caffeine + green tea in them that help you burn extra fat while working out and

the plan will still work even though you are drinking and only doing intervals once a day but don't expect any quick or overnight results at your pace

Adrian Bryant | 06.16.09 - 7:19 pm

I could follow this plan nearly perfectly besides 2 things. I cannot wake up early enough (I already get up at 5) to do intervals or anything in the morning. I can do them at night though. Also I eat very healthy but i drink 3 nights a week which isn't going to stop. Will this plan still work? Also, i know you reccomend fat burners, im just curious about them since they get so much negative things said about them all over. Do they actually help or do anything or is hydroxycut, for example, just another scam?

Thanks

craig | 06.16.09 - 6:16 pm

Thanks Adrian! i'm going to try the hill interval training along with watching what i eat.

Joanna | 06.14.09 - 9:59 pm

roger

See NowLoss.com/abs

Any 1-to-2 days you choose

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:42 am

On what days are you suppose to do ab exercises while on this program?

roger | 06.13.09 - 5:07 pm

Belen

Drinking green tea is fine

You dont have to use whey - you have another 100 calorie protein source like a can of tuna (or other protien sources from NowLoss.com/199) and..

Jumping rope is a good workout

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:42 am

I'm barely 20 pounds overweight. I want to do your lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks, but would I still be able to do that if I didn't a fat burner with green tea but just drank green tea two times a day? And is there other ways to get protein every time before my 4 meals? thank you.

Oh, and is doing jump rope considered a high intensity work out? If it is how long and fast would I have to do it for?

Belen | 06.12.09 - 9:04 pm

unknown

Simple math.

If you're 18% at 150 pounds then that means you have 27 pounds of fat so...

If you lost 10 pure pounds of fat you would be 140 pounds with 17 pounds of fat meaning...

Your bodyfat % would be 12% or 17 pounds of fat divided by 140 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:40 am

Thanks Adrian but how did you figure out it would be 12%?

unknown | 06.12.09 - 7:20 pm

unknown

NO...

You need to only lose fat.

You can gain 20 pounds of muscle for example while losing 5 pounds of fat to make your body fat percentage go down but...

If you did the math and lost 10 pounds of fat then you be at 12% bodyfat

Adrian Bryant | 06.12.09 - 6:22 pm

Im 5"9 150lbs. Ive gained some muscle and now want to get my bodyfat% down to like 6 or 7%. My bodyfat% now is about 18%. How many pounds will I have to lose to reach my goal?

How low would it be if I lost 10lbs?

And is there a way to figure out how many pounds of fat you have to lose to reach your goal body fat %?

unknown | 06.12.09 - 3:58 pm

Okay thanks a lot Adrian

kenny | 06.09.09 - 8:26 pm

kenny

Yes - it'll maintain your muscle and the workouts (like fast weight loss workouts #1 & 2) may help build some muscle

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:14 pm

Will this workout maintain muscle also or should I add a workout during the week?

kenny | 06.09.09 - 2:52 pm

sarai.

You need to do NowLoss.com/15 but...

Since everybody loses weight in different places at different times I can't promise you'll lose weight only in belly and not butt and if you do lose weight in your butt as you lose belly fat...

you can go here to get your butt back

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 9:55 pm

sarai.. | 06.07.09 - 12:20 am

Kevin

Here's the point...

The more intense your workout is = the more fat you will burn so...

If you do your intervals correctly - then your interval of walking or complety resting for 30-to-90 seconds & running as fast as you can for 10-to-30 seconds should be harder or more intense than running for 15min straight.

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 9:52 pm

Adrian,

I'm wondering isn't it more effective to simply run fast for 15 mins without stopping or slow walking than doing a 15 mins running interval?

Kevin | 06.06.09 - 11:26 pm

Joanna

Yes

Hill sprints will help firm up butt and lose ab flab and...

You can even do hill sprint intervals to help droppy butt and burn ab flab +...

Go here to lose pouch

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 9:50 pm

hi,

i'm 125lbs, 5'3". I'm slim in general apart from my huge droopy butt and slightly pouchy abs.

What can i do to lose some of my huge butt and get it toned? I was thinking of hill sprints? Please help. thanks.

Joanna | 06.06.09 - 9:09 pm

Anita

The green tea pills will help but I think rather you take them or not you'll still lose last 7 pounds in about the same amount of time with or without the green tea

Adrian Bryant | 06.06.09 - 6:08 pm

Hi Adrian,

This is Anita again. Just to refresh you my info. I'm 31 yrs old, 5'3, now 117 lbs (already lost 6 lb in 24 days!).

I plan to lose about 7 more pounds. I understand that these last few pounds might take longer. I drink about 2 cups of green tea everyday, but will eating "Green Tea Fat Metabolizer by Irwin Naturals" speed up my progress more?

Thanks.

Anita | 06.06.09 - 9:47 am

Dug

No - so far so good

If you are not getting hungry then also good but if you are...

You can probably increase your calorie intake to 1500-to-2000 calories for 2 days during the week but still eat the right foods of course

Adrian Bryant | 06.06.09 - 5:54 pm

Hi Adrian-
Here's my 4 week update:

Did the fast weight loss#1 for all the 4 weeks. I will be switching to a different routine starting next week.

Eating five times, 1200 to 1400 cal, 2 raw veg or fruit before each meal, and introduced whey protein isolate a few days ago. I am drinking a lot of hot green tea.

Got, maybe a couple of inches of belly fat and some flab on mid to lower back. And the love hanldes are reducing but still visible- especially when I bend sideways.

Good progress so far.

Adrian, please let me know if I need to change anything.

YES - no bad foods and not even the 0 calorie soda See fast weight loss tip #29 here for why.

The closer you are to your weight loss goal and/or the more leaner you are (like you are) - the less you can cheat because it takes longer to lose weight as you get closer to your goal plus your body fights against you and does not want you to be that lean

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 10:17 pm

Hi, im a about 5 feet tall, and currently 118 pounds I really want to get to 108 pounds by july 12th. I just found this page today and will get right on the diet. Im hoping it works. Can I drink A zero calorie soda every once in a while? When you say stay away from bad foods, you mean absolutly no desert, say no icecream or fudgsicles, even if you stay within your daily or per meal calorie limit?

mary | 06.01.09 - 10:11 pm

Angel,

#1 - how are you checking body fat? most body fat test are not accuarte

#2 - Since you are not overweight - your best bet may be to gain muscle to improve overall body fat %

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 4:18 pm

Hey you helped me a lot. i started working out in 4/1/2009 and now in june/1/2009 i went from 172lbs to 159lbs. i am male 5'-6" 38 years old. started to set my goal at 140 but i think by looking at myself now i should be 150. my bodyfat is 21.5% 3 weeks ago it was 19% what happened? how can i reduce my body fat to 14%. that is my new goal.

Your bodyfat scale is obivously way off!?

It's probably lower than that! with your weight and height

The most accurate way to have body fat tested is to have a caliper test and those commerical body fat scales are not accurate but back to your question...

Both the intervals and weight lifting you do are worth it.

the intervals burn fat and the weights will help you look better and any muscle you build or gain from weights will make you look slimmer even though you gained muscle weight + when you gain muscle your body fat % goes down

Adrian Bryant | 05.30.09 - 9:14 pm

Hi Adrain,
I'm 31 yrs old, 5'3, 119 lbs (i was 123 lbs and lost 4 lbs in 16 days by following your lose 10 lb in 40 days plan and i'm very happy about that!). I'm doing running, jumping rope intervel and also weight lifting class at the gym. According to my own heart rate monitor, i burned about 100 calories in doing 15 mins intervels. However, i can only burn 220 calorie in a 60 mins weight lifting class. Do you think it's still worth to spend time doing the weight lifting given that i can burn more calorie in much less time on doing intervels? I just purchased a body fat monitor and my fat % is 28.9 which means i still have alot of fat to burn even though i'm considered in a healthy range of my weight and height. Thank you!

Anita | 05.30.09 - 12:12 pm

ottawasitar@yahoo.ca

It may?

It all depends on how much you weigh and these other weight loss factors here

Adrian Bryant | 05.30.09 - 8:53 am

i'm trying to lose my last 10 pounds. i'm eating around 1500-1750 cls a day, biking 80 minutes a day 7 days a week, and 3 weight lifting exercise days. do you think this will work to lose 10 pounds in one month? trying to get off the last bit of stomach fat. ottawasitar@yahoo.ca

Fruits are good but veggies are better in MY opinion but that does not mean fruits will work

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:53 pm

Could you use raw fruits, such as apples or bananas? Or will only vegetables work?

Thanks

jerry | 05.25.09 - 2:34 pm

Po Yee,

It'll only help you lose more water weight temporarily which you'll gain back very quickly

Adrian Bryant | 05.23.09 - 6:33 pm

Adrian, I heard that wearing a solar belt during workout will help trim the waist by using natural body heat to increase perspiration, is that true? Should i get one?

Po Yee | 05.23.09 - 4:07 pm

Roddy1485

You wont lose that much FAT in 10 days unless you are already overweight.

The best way to prep for your photo shoot over the next 10 days is to...

1. go to NowLoss.com/abs and do that workout 2 times over the next ten days

2. Go on the fat loss plan at NowLoss.com/15 for 10 days

3. Drink lots of water to flush out water weight

4. You can increase your protein and healthy fat intake while lowering carbs and/or limiting your carbs to mostly eating as many raw veggies as you like

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 10:06 pm

Hi how can i loose about 5 lbs of belly fat in ten days...im prepared to do the most advances intense workouts im just not sure wat to do...i have a photo shoot on the june 5th and ive bought dietary supplements and protein shakes...and have been eating fish and fruit all meals.. i just need to loose it in my belly area.. i would greatly appriciate it if you could help me..
