weight loss, quickly

[beds]

hey guys
wanting to lose a stone! and in 2 weeks!

thinking running first thing, 3 midday gym sessions per week and circuits in the evening

with a healthy diet, you think this is realistic?

cut off a limb. Sorry, my sarcasmometer finally showed up today in the mail and am trying it out. I don't think it is healthy to try to lose that much that quick if you want to keep it off. A stone. How many stones are you anyway? How many yards tall?

5ft 8 and 12 and a half stone

bit chubby, not huge!

Safely, healthily you can't lose weight that fast.

If you're desparate run around in a winter clothing for an hour or so outside with heater turned on max. After that risk of heat stroke you should lose a pound...... of water.

Might I ask why so quickly?

That sounds a huge drop.
Entirely possible, but its unlikely to stay off and your immune system will suffer.
Long term or permanent weight loss are gradual processes which rely primarily on nutrition, with exercise supporting the weight loss.

In order to shed actual fat (as opposed to just water...) one of the best methods is a treadmill - 8kmph with a gradient of say 15%
Utilise this for 40mins - 1hr and it will attack the fat.

Beds, if you are trying to make weight for anything competitive or that will put a strain on your body ..... seriously, don't try and do it mate. You will be seriously dehydrated and damage yourself.

If it's for something like a holiday or something, a stone will be pushing it (using diet, aerobic excercise and possibly diuretics) - but it will still be bad for you.

Think the long term through, mate.
