How to Lose Weight Drastically

Recommended Answer:

610 is absolutely not enough. It really depends on your body's needs, but shoot for around 1000, and more if you're exercising (which you should be if you're trying to lose weight, or simply be healthy). Don't obsess over weight or calories, though-- use your number as a general guideline, not as a hard-and-fast rule. Never feel guilty if you overstep your guideline.Best of luck!

• It really depends on how heavy you are starting off. I'm a 5'10" male that weighs 140 pounds. I have been able to lose over 20 pounds in the last month and a half by sticking to 1500 calories a day and exercising. Lift weights and run, it dosnt matter what the calories are made of, just as long as you are under your budget. I'm not an expert but I have done enough research to know a thing or two. Good luck losing the weight! Ps... Never eat ice cream.... Ever... Throw it away.... For breakfast try eggs and a lean sausage... Im building muscle so I just eat pork for every meal every day...
• its not hard!!!! dont eat the ice cream! lol plus you need to MEASURE out how much oatmeal your eating, you dont have a bowl full. look on the box what serving size is. you cant eat about 800-1000 a day, more if your active enough to burn it off.
