6 Things You Must Do To Lose 20 pounds in 3 - 4 Weeks

ny,

1.How do I drink the 70 oz H2O?(meaning in one sit or 4 17 oz in the day or just a all day amount of 70oz) - This is an all day amount

2. I work at night so i don't start this until 9:00am. Will my timing effect my weight lose? - No, only the total amount of calories & your activity affects weight loss

3. Will eating after 7:00pm effect my weight lose? No - see my answer to #2

Julie,

YES - I think this diet will help you lose 20 pounds in 5 weeks and remember to add some exercise also to almost guarantee you'll lose 20 pounds in 5 weeks.

Adrian Bryant | 07.01.08 - 2:57 pm

Hi Adrian, I am 40 years old and need to lose 20 pounds. I lose 15-20 pounds every year before vacation, but have found that this year it has been much harder. We leave for vacation in 5 weeks and I still have the 20 pounds on. I am 5'4 160 pounds. Considering my age, height and current weight do you think this diet will allow me to lose the 20 pounds I need to lose in 5 weeks? Thank you for your help. Julie

See fast weight loss tip #1 about random workouts and...

Since you're already fit and may have a low bodyfat % - This plan here to lose last 10 pounds may be the best for you

Adrian bryant | 06.30.08 - 7:30 am

I need to lose weight in about 4 weeks. I plan on working out every day but i have a busy schedule so i need to work out at random times i was wondering if this was okay?? also, if i can not drink the whey thing will i still lose weight? i'm 5'3" and 140 but i am mostly muscle. i was just wondering if this diet will work for me and be the right one to choose. thanks for the help!!

heather |   06.29.08 - 9:24 pm

jeff,

This plan will work for anybody but the speed at which you lose weight is determined by how overweight you are and/or how high your body fat is

Adrian bryant | 06.30.08 - 7:27 am

I'm looking to drop some pounds right away and then continue on a diet. I am 5'10" 205 lb. Is plan for me? Can I continue on this diet to help me get down to 180?

jeff |   06.29.08 - 5:03 pm

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

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.08 - 9:56 am

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

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.08 - 9:40 am

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

Misty | 06.28.08 - 4:03 pm

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!

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.08 - 9:34 am

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.

Rachel |   06.28.08 - 9:09 am

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

crevax is 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 crevax 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.

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.08 - 9:32 am

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 recommend crevax. 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.

Hey my name is Chris i am 17 years old and i weigh 155 pounds and im 5"8,i still have a belly i dont know how much weight i still have to lose to get a flat belly or maybe i just need to do some workouts??

thug_azn_pride   | 06.26.08 - 10:51 pm

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

Adrian bryant | 06.26.08 - 8:34 pm

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!


RicciRox | 06.26.08 - 2:36 pm

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.

Omayra |   06.25.08 - 9:55 am

z.baldawi,

You're doing everything right and whether you lose 20 pounds or not all depends on how overweight you are -

Adrian bryant | 06.25.08 - 11:29 pm

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!

z.baldawi | 06.24.08 - 9:14 am

Rachel,

It's okay to replace the whey or soy protein with another 100 calorie source of protein like egg whites

Adrian bryant | 06.25.08 - 11:27 pm

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.

Rachel | 06.24.08 - 9:06 am

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

Adrian bryant | 06.25.08 - 11:34 pm

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 | 06.24.08 - 8:58 pm

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

Adrian bryant | 06.24.08 - 1:02 am

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

Adrian bryant | 06.24.08 - 12:57 am

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 |   06.21.08 - 9:29 am

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...

Adrian Bryant | 06.20.08 - 4:35 pm

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 |   06.18.08 - 9:14 pm

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

Adrian bryant | 06.17.08 - 10:45 pm

Can you eat pasta for the meals? Most diet plans eliminate carbs such as potatoes, pasta etc.

Shonna |   06.17.08 - 7:27 pm

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

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

Jessica,

i don't feel comfortable advising someone who's pregnant on how to lose weight and the only advice I can give you is to Read this article here on weight loss during and after pregnancy but I also strongly advise you to use your own personal experiences and doctors as your weight loss guides.

Adrian Bryant | 06.15.08 - 1:07 pm

I am at most 14 days pregnant. I know that its normal for some women to naturally lose a little weight the first trimester and some will gain up to 3 lbs. The thing is I am about 20 lbs overweight since having my daughter about 9 months ago. I only just started trying to lose weight slowly. Now, I am concerned about how heavy I am now to start a pregnancy. I intend to work out throughout my pregnancy. But, do you know of any fat burners that are safe during the first trimester. I know its not ideal to try to lose weight during pregnancy. But, I'm not trying to starve myself. I'll take my vitamins and eat healthy. And with my first 2 kids I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 2 months along anyway. So, in my mind, 30 days to get to a good starting weight for the pregnancy isn't a horrific risk. Thank you for you guidance.

Jessica |   06.15.08 - 9:24 am

Misty,

Well -the fruit in your case may be okay if you say nothing's been done to it but I just seen in some quick research I've done that frozen fruit is processed but if yours in unprocessed then it's okay

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.08 - 3:58 pm

Thanks for answering my questions Adrian. I have more to come, but this will do for now. Glad to hear someone say I don't have to overwork my kidney's like so much of my "research" has indicated. I only drink milk, iced tea (sweetened with nustevia) and water, I just don't drink that much-3 cups of milk, no more than two glasses of tea, and the rest water. When I'm thirsty, I drink, just like we are told to eat only when we are hungry!!

I said no more questions right now, but I am curious, why not the frozen fruit? It is nothing but fruit, no additives, so I'm not sure I see where you are coming from on this one.

Thanks so much for helping people like me get through this! I haven't seen any results yet, but since Monday will be the one week mark for the exercise, I hope to see something by then. If not, I will hope for Thursday since that will be the one week mark for the diet.

Misty | 06.14.08 - 2:40 pm

Lorenzo,

Overweight people don't really need weigh loss pills since weight loss is easier for them

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.08 - 12:01 am

I am about 25 pounds overweight, but will this thing work if I dont take the pills??

Lorenzo |   06.13.08 - 11:00 pm

Misty,

Never feel guilty about asking ? - ask as many as you need to until you get the body you want.

If you mostly just drink water only and NOT too many sodas, juices etc then you can probably get away with not drinking the measly 70 oz of water but make sure that when you do drink something it is MOSTLY ONLY WATER.

The only thing i have an issue with is the frozen fruit - I would take it out but all the other fruits andveggies you're eating is fine - esp. the apples which are real good for weight loss!

YES - one stalk of celery= 1 veggie and you can count half a head of brocclii as 1 veggie and here's 1 big tip for you...

If you keep doing your exercising while eating mainly weight loss foods - you won't have to EVER count calories to keep weight off.

Adrian bryant | 06.13.08 - 7:50 pm

Hi Adrian,

I'm sorry to keep bothering you, I see you have a lot to do answering these questions and, for what it's worth, I do feel guilty for asking. Thank your continued attention to each question.

I have done workout #1 3 days this week (today was the third). Yesterday, I started incorporating this diet plan. I suppose my main question (for now) is when I am eating the two fruits and/or veggies, how am I counting celery? When you say one whole fruit/veggie, then you used the example of one entire head of broccoli, I am concerned you mean one entire bunch of celery. I hope you mean one stalk is one fruit/veggie serving. See, I am trying to keep my calories to 1200. Yesterday, I got OVER 1500!! Celery is so low cal, I can certainly fit it in if we are only talking two stalks. I am still trying to stick with 3 dairy servings, 4 whole grains, at LEAST 2 servings of fruit, at LEAST 3 servings of veggies, and protein. Now the difference with your diet and what I was doing before is that I am eating a LOT more veggies/fruits, and protein. That's a good thing for me, as it keeps me from having the "extras" I had been having such as 100 cal. pack Cheez It's and 100 cal. pack Oreos, but I really need to get those calories back down. Here is what I ate yesterday:

Thu, Jun 12 2008
Sliced Peaches - Frozen Fruit (2cups) 100 
Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein (1 scoop) 120 
Milk, Nonfat, Fluid (Fat Free Or Skim)
(1 cup) 86

Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat
(1 slice) 50

(3 slices) 150
Milk, Nonfat, Fluid (Fat Free Or Skim)
(1 cup) 86 
Spinach - Raw

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, frozen - Meat/Poultry
(4 oz.) 120
Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein (1 scoop) 120 
Apples - Red, Delicious

Blueberries - Frozen, Unsweetened (1 cup)79 
Regular Jif Creamy
(2 tbsp.) 190
Total Calories Consumed 1,517
260 fat cal. 17%)

Okay, well the peanut butter was a treat, but when I mixed it with the whey protein drink, milk, and blueberries...well, I WILL behaving that again!!!!!

Thanks for your help Adrian.

Oh, one more thing. When I drink that much water, I find myself using the bathroom A LOT. I'm concerned that is overworking my kidneys. How much will it effect the diet if I don't drink so much water?

Misty | 06.13.08 - 10:26 am

alexandra,

Like i told Zarah - It'll probably be better for you to do this advanced weight loss plan here for people of your height & weight

Adrian bryant | 06.13.08 - 7:40 pm

im 18, 5'7" and 130 lbs. now it may not seem like a lot but i have noticeable excess weight on my "love handles", stomach, thighs and anywhere else fat can be stored !
i would loveee to lose about 10-15lbs and get a bikini body in 3-5 weeks.
would that be possible on this diet if i work out for 30 minutes everyday (except one day a week) and do strength training every other day?
pleasssee let me know! thanks so much1

alexandra | 06.12.08 - 11:55 pm

Zarah,

Since I don't think you're really overweight for your height - You need to do this 'how to lose last 10 pounds plan' here instead becasue...

People who not really overweight - need a more advanced weight loss plan to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 06.12.08 - 8:10 pm

hey,

I am 5"3 tall, relatively active and 18 years old. i normally eat quite healthily but have been bingeing in the last week due to stress which has lead to a 4 pound weight gain, so i now weigh 132 pounds. I need to lose about 22 pounds and if possible in 3-4 weeks as there is a special event i have to go to. How much do you think i could lose on this plan? Thanks for your help. Your website is great by the way!

Zarah |   06.12.08 - 4:09 pm

Anonymous,

If you're on this 'lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks' plan then you just take your protein with your normal meals only and if your meal happens to come before you walk - then so be it.

Adrian Bryant | 06.12.08 - 8:07 pm

ok thanks i think thats what was maybe wrong i was leaving out protein... does it help if im goin on a walk to talk protein before i go.

Anonymous |   06.12.08 - 1:37 pm

jake ,

You need protein to increase your metabolism and if your diet has no protein in it then all the carbs you eat will get easily converted to body fat storage and you don't want that

Adrian bryant | 06.12.08 - 10:41 am

ok thanks il take nuts some but would it make much of a difrence if i left it out?

jake |   06.12.08 - 9:51 am

Jake,

If you mean whey or soy protein - then you can sub whey or soy for something like nuts or fish for protein - please read # 2 again

Adrian Bryant | 06.11.08 - 6:27 pm

is it ok if i leave out protein ? whould i still loss weight

jake | 06.11.08 - 4:48 pm

tanya,

It's okay if you forget a couple of times - just don't make a habit of it and the diet schedule on thispage is only an example - you can make your own diet eating schedule

Adrian Bryant | 06.11.08 - 6:29 pm

got the same prob as tina 4got to eat one of the meals a couple of times like the one around 4 is that ok ? other that that i stick to the diet! great diet by the way when should i see results in myself?

tanya | 06.11.08 - 4:43 pm

tina,

It's best to follow this plan "as is" because this is an emergency weight loss plan

Adrian Bryant | 06.10.08 - 6:56 pm

ok so like if i eat alittle more BUT..do a lot more working out will that work out ? or i skip the meal at 4 and have dinner around seven and then if im hungry i have that little meal will that workout?

tina | 06.10.08 - 6:31 pm

ophelia,

Any fat burner that has green tea in it is good so look at #5 above again or You can use one of these top 3 green tea diet pills

Adrian Bryant | 06.10.08 - 6:55 pm

lover ur web site
what fat burner pills would u recomend???
thanks for answer

ophelia | 06.10.08 - 9:33 am

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your site, your honest and realistic advice, and all you're trying to accomplish for people. I have lost a lot of weight on my own, but it's nice to have a routine to follow when your life gets busy. Keep it up!!!

MJ | 06.10.08 - 9:24 am

MJ,

About 1-to-2 cups of strawberries is fine and please read #2 again above because you don't have to drink protein

Adrian Bryant | 06.10.08 - 9:06 am

I have two questions...
1. For the fruit, what if I want to eat blueberries, strawberries, etc. Can I incorporate these and approximately how much should I be eating (1 cup, 5 strawberries, etc)?
2. Can I mix the soy protein with diet Snapple or an equivalent 0-calorie drink? Hate the taste of it and drink TONS of water anyway, so not only is it gross, but I feel like I'm getting water-logged.
Thanks!!

MJ | 06.09.08 - 6:50 pm

Adrian,

I got off the plan 2 weeks ago because I was on vacation. I gained 6 pounds + 3 lbs of water weight.

I got back on the plan one week ago and I've lost those 6 pounds. To aid on that weight loss I took a hoodia supplement called Power Pops. Here's my blog on it
http://powerpopswork.blogspot.com

Here's my retail website http://www.power-pops.com/omayra

Here's a clip from Extra:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y...h? v=Y9V0nZ7AKtQ

This hoodia supplement is safer than most pills and it has no side effects. I would appreciate it if you checked it out and possibly recommend it.

Thanks again for your help!

Omayra | 06.10.08 - 11:35 am

OH good thank you
I have about thirty to forty pounds extra fat on me

thanks adrian

jackson | 06.09.08 - 6:02 pm

Logan ,

I suggest you do the 50 pound plan for now and about 3-to-5 weeks before school... Do the lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks plan and Go here to see how to count calories

Adrian bryant | 06.09.08 - 4:34 pm

Hey Adrian,

I you tol me to try the 50 pounds in 5 weeks plan but I would really like to loos the 40 pounds in 2-3 months before school starts again. Also how do I measure the calories I dont know how to do that. Let me know if you can think of something else.

Thanks

Logan | 06.09.08 - 3:42 pm

Lacey,

I'm not real good with recipes but as long as you don't go over 300 calories for your meals and as long as you don't eat junk food or crap you'll be fine and...

YES - the TV dinners are fine as long as it isn't over 300 calories.

Please read # 3 again.

If you need more help - just contact me again

Adrian bryant | 06.09.08 - 4:41 pm

I am leaving for Europe in 3 weeks and I would like to follow this plan to shed the last of my excess weight. I wanted to ask what is a good idea for a meal after the veggies/fruits and protein shake. Are tv dinners like lean cuisine appropriate. I am trying to get an idea before I head to the store.

Lacey | 06.09.08 - 2:49 pm

Kalene,

It may be better for you to do this plan here to get down to 125 pounds

Adrian bryant | 06.09.08 - 4:50 pm

Hey, I'm 15 years old and I start school back in August, so I've been wanting to lose weight before school starts back again! I am 5'4" 1/2 and weigh 145. . .I want to be 125, but I'm not too sure if my mother will actually put the effort into helping me. What do I do when I don't have fruits or raw veggies to eat ? And what are ways that I can stay committed to this without just slipping up and completely ruining the whole diet plan?

Kalene | 06.09.08 - 10:38 am

Misty,

Don't feel bad about the workout - It even took me a couple of times before i could do it without stopping and it's okay if you stop and rest in order to finish the workout and the main thing is THAT YOU FINISH & you did that so good job on that

Adrian bryant | 06.09.08 - 9:41 am

Thank you for responding Adrian. I did forget to mention I am consuming a 1200 calorie diet with no more than 20% of those calories coming from fat. Before I try this eating plan, I'll do as you said-try just the workout routine. I did it for the first time this morning and, well, I didn't quite make it through everything. I went through it twice, but couldn't manage 20 push ups, or even half push ups for that matter. I'll have to work my way up to that. Also, when I started to feel my pulse in my head, I stopped the jumping jacks, and the same thing with the ski steps. I know this sounds like I wimped out big time, but it is a much more intense workout than I have been doing, so I am content with working my way into the full blown workout gradually.

Misty | 06.09.08 - 9:34 am

Jackson,

Of course you will - but if you're not overweight then YES - you may need the pills for an extra weight loss boost since it's harder to lose weight when you're leaner

Adrian bryant | 06.09.08 - 7:22 am

would I still loose weight if I dont use the pills?

Jackson | 06.09.08 - 1:01 am

Logan,

Start off by doing this 50 pound weight loss plan instead since you don't have any weight loss emergencies

Adrian bryant | 06.08.08 - 10:11 pm

I wanna try this diet plan to loose some fat I'm only 15 and I really want to loose weight I weigh 240 I'm 5'10" and I would like to get down to 195, 200 somewhere in there. I'm not as active as I was during school. I just got out of school for the summer and during school athletics we would do the basic bench, squat, incline, and power cleane and little running. I really want to loose weight bad I'm sick of being big. I don't think I can take the diet pills because of my age. Another thing it's hard for me to get motivated. I was going to ask you, what do you think the best fat loss and diet plan is for me?

Logan   | 06.08.08 - 9:47 pm

Misty,

The main thing you need to do when you hit a weight loss plateau is to DO something different and in your case...

Doing fast weight loss workout #1 or any of these other workouts may be the main change you need to kickstart your weight loss and also...

As for your diet make sure you're creating a calorie deficit to lose weight so although you're eating healhty -make sure your total calories are enough to make you lose weight and...

The egg beaters are fine as long as you use 100 calories worth of it each time in your 4 meals

Try this out and see if it'll kickstart your weight loss again and contact me again if you need more help

Adrian bryant | 06.08.08 - 6:25 pm

Hi Adrian,

I stumbled on this site today while trying to find a free personal training workout. The budget just doesn't allow for me to go to the gym and certainly not to have to pay for a personal trainer on top of that. Anyway, I am going to try this to lose 20 lbs. fast. I have already lost nearly 50 by eating right (2 fruits, 3 vegs., protein, and 4 whole grains per day) and walking for an hour each day, but I seem to have hit a plateau. I am 5'4.5" and 160#'s right now, and would like to get down to 135. I know that's still on the heavy side, but I think I'll be happy there.

My question to you is this-Will this work for the 25 lbs. that I still have to lose? Will this work at all since I have been eating right and exercising for the last 5 months anyway? We all want to lose weight FAST, and after I have come so far, and seeing a plateau, I am even more impatient to get it off than I have been in the past, to the point I am almost ready to give up. I also plan to do the fast weight loss workout #1 while trying this eating plan.

Also, I won't be able to purchase fat burning pills, or protein drink mixes, but I will add Egg Beaters to my before meal plan. How much should I eat to match the equivalent in the protein shakes? In case you don't already know, 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters has 6 gms of protein. How does this type of protein match the whey/soy protein?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks!

Misty | 06.08.08 - 4:46 pm

jonny,

Have you put on weight?

YES - it is possible to have a slight gain in muscle IF you're on a serious weight training program while on this diet but in reality...

You're only eating 0-to-1200 calories + 480 cals of protein + veggies so...

It's not really possible to put on a whole lot of weight with this diet

Adrian bryant | 06.08.08 - 6:18 pm

is it posible to put on weight during this diet if u stick to almost all the rules ?

jonny |   06.08.08 - 1:03 pm

love y guys for this website

jason,

A 100 calorie serving of nuts (16 almonds is about 100 calories) and you should only check your weight once a week

Adrian bryant | 06.08.08 - 10:30 am

jason agin... i really like nuts how much should i take of them ? when should i notice weight loss? thanks

jason |   06.08.08 - 5:12 am

Tania williams,

Yes you can but make sure the workouts are 20+ minute moderate-to-high intense workouts that burn more fat

Adrian bryant | 06.08.08 - 10:29 am

I have never seen any results in any of my previous attempts to loose weight, but I do like to work out and could I do any kind of workout 4 to 5 times a week besides the ones listed above?

Tania williams |06.08.08 - 1:59 a

Lia,

If you're not fond of fruits then just eat raw veggies instead to lose weight fast

Adrian bryant | 06.08.08 - 10:27 am

I am overweight and really want to loose weight fast but I am not fond of fruits. Im going to try this but is it ok to add anything small that is low cal and has a different flavor to it if not, what would u suggest?

Lia |   06.08.08 - 1:52 am

jason,

You have to do the protein and if you don't like shakes - read # 2 above again.

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.08 - 5:50 pm

hi im jason ... i was just looking through the comments and there mostly good! i do most of the things paris from ireland said he did only i take the two fruit before meals and have the 4 small meals a day the only thing i really dont do is take the protein is this ok? how much do you think id lose in the 3-4 week period? when should it start to notice the pounds coming off? again thanks very much!

jason |   06.07.08 - 11:59 am

desperate loser,

Remember - you don't have to take soy protein - READ #2 again and...

NO -fat burners are not absolutely neccessary but if you're not that much overweight then you may need to take them

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.08 - 5:49 pm

Hi Adrian,
Is it ok if I don't take the soy protein of any fat burner pill coz I'm really afraid of medicine. My body gets allergic to medicine really easily.

desperate loser |   | 06.07.08 - 4:47 am | #

Cici,

Honey in tea is a NO NO while on this diet because of extra calories but I'm currently researching honey and it's weight loss benefits but everything I've read so far about honey and weight loss says honey helps cleanse the body and since you're eating veggies and fruits plus water - you're already cleansing your body so for now...

i wouldn't use honey in your GREEN TEA until ME or YOU have looked into honey's weight loss benefits

Adrian Bryant |  06.07.08 - 5:47 pm

Can I put honey in my tea? Or is that a no no?

Cici |   06.07.08 - 2:36 am

has this diet worked for anybody? bc if i has then i would do i, but i am ony 14 and i am overweight and will do anything do be skinny!

piarasfrom ireland,

This is ok but... you really need to follow the diet step by step to lose as much weight as possible in the shortest amount of time

Adrian bryant | 06.06.08 - 7:01 pm

hi thanks for writing back.. iv sort have moderated your diet for exsample iv cut out all the fizzy stuff along with all the high fat stuff iv havent done the 20-40 mins excercise every morning but i have done some evercises.i also walk for about an hour a day except for tuesday and friday as i attend the gym those days and work on muscle. do you think this is ok?

piarasfrom ireland |   06.06.08 - 5:06 pm

Anna,

NO splenda or diet drinks - the only weight loss diet drink you should have is WATER, green tea, or milk - all of those drinks speed up weight loss and the most I'v e heard anybody lose was 72 pounds on this diet plan

Too much salt and not drinking enough water causes you to retain water weight making you look bloated so YES... SALT IS BAD if you're trying to lose weight but... you don't have to worry about that if you drink enough water and keep a normal salt intake

Adrian bryant | 06.06.08 - 8:10 pm

Hi it is Anna again. I started your program 3 days ago and I feel better already. I have been giving all my friends your email address and I have a lot of fat friends, so i really hope this work for us. It sounds so good. Most of us need to lose over 100 lbs. Thanks for your website. My question is can we have splenda and diet drinks on the program? Will salt effect my wieght lost? How much wieght can a 250 pound person lose on this fast wieght loss diet? And what is the most wieght a person following this diet lost? Please answer soon. A very thankful person.

Anna |   06.06.08 - 3:30 am

Katie Jane,

Yes - Use a protein calorie source that's no more than 120 calories

Adrian Bryant | 06.04.08 - 7:58 pm

Can I substitute one hard boiled egg for the protein source? What about one Tablespoon of all natural peanut butter?

Thanks for all the free stuff and the info on the TVA. I am SO PSYCHED!

Katie Jane | 06.04.08 - 7:36 pm

amber,

Whey & soy can be used to lose weight, maintain weight or gain muscle weight - See the weight loss benefits of protein and NO... whey & soy shakes are not full of cholesterol

Adrian Bryant | 06.03.08 - 8:47 pm

i thought whey and soy made you gain weight..and its full of cholesterol. are you sure its ok to use??

amber | 06.03.08 - 3:19 pm

nisha,

If the calculator said only 900-1200 calories then that tells me you're not that overweight and it's really not a good idea to go under 1200 calories so in your case - You'd be better off doing this advanced weight loss plan here but to answer your question -

NO - DO NOT leave out protein

Adrian Bryant | 06.03.08 - 8:45 pm

hi adrian
i cant find it on the site right now but i did a calculator check of how many calories i should consume to lose weight and it was between 900-1200.but regarding your post to sharon you said

"You're eating 0-to-1200 calories a day + 320-to-480 calories of protein + any fruits & VEGGIES and the fruits and veggies don't count as calories since they're negative calories so at the most...

you're eating almost 1700 calories a day "

but this is WAY OVER how much i should consume

im thinking i should do your diet but leave out the protein drink.is this ok?will it be as effective?
please reply
thanks

nisha | 06.03.08 - 11:12 am

piaras from ireland,

If you're trying to lose more than 20 pounds and if you don't have an weight loss emergency -DON'T do this plan and Start off doing one of the permanent weight loss plans here

Adrian Bryant | 06.02.08 - 9:10 pm

Hey i am not over weight but i have a soccer tounrnament coming up on june 27 on the beach and i have a little got i want to tighten it up and lost a couploe pounds i am going to try this diet okay anything i should know?

lauraleemalloy | 06.02.08 - 5:20 pm

Sharon,

First of all - Your protein source or soy shake should be only 80-to-120 calories and after you eat the veggies/fruit/protein you then only eat a 0-to-300 calorie meal so in reality...

You're eating 0-to-1200 calories a day + 320-to-480 calories of protein + any fruits & VEGGIES and the fruits and veggies don't count as calories since they're negative calories so at the most...

you're eating almost 1700 calories a day - If this doesn't clear anything up - please contact me again and I'll be glad to help

Adrian Bryant | 06.02.08 - 9:07 pm

If I eat 4 soy protein shakes @ 180 cal each plus 8-10 fruits and vegies @ 50-100 cal each, that's a lot of calories before I've eaten any meals? How does that work?

Sharon | 06.02.08 - 12:41 pm

mo,

You're doing everything right and YES - you can do your own workout if you wish - the workouts I give are only examples

Adrian bryant | 06.02.08 - 1:32 am

Hi. I am interested in trying out the weight loss program. so heres my plan :

when i wake up i will drink 2 cups of green tea and then i wil power walk about 30-40 min. Then I eat 2 whole raw fruit and do i have to take the protein shake? then i have a 100 cal. cereal.

For lunch
I'll eat 2 fruits and 1-300 calorie lunch.

then same for snack

after snack i'll hit the gym and workout for 2 hrs

then at 6 i'll take my green tea

then for dinner ill eat fruits/veggies and a small salad

will this help me lose 20 pounds? Is it necessary to follow the workout plans like taebo, hip hop abs , and the 2 videos above? Because i really like to go to the gym and work out for 2 hrs

mo | 06.01.08 - 8:51 pm

Adrian i have lost over 30 pounds in 3 1/2 months. Thank you so much for this site

Isaiah |   05.31.08 - 8:04 pm

chels,

Yes - cherries and blueberries are fine

Adrian bryant | 06.01.08 - 12:44 am

Adrian,
I was wondering if for the raw fruits and veggies would it be ok for me to eat berries like strawberries and blueberrys.....
If so how much of those would I eat??

chels |  05.31.08 - 8:06 pm

Toni,

HEre's a good weight loss exercise program to get you back in shape

Adrian Bryant | 05.31.08 - 1:34 pm

Hello Adrianm

I am so thrilled to have found you I am a 48 year old female and terribly out of shape (smoker for more than 36 years) I need to lose a GOOD 20lbs but more so need to lose fat. I am totally sedentary so maybe you can advise me where to start regarding exercises? Thankyou so much and all blessings to you.

Toni | 05.31.08 - 12:11 pm

SHARON,

It's okay to use dip and YES - count it in your 0-to-300 calorie meals

Adrian Bryant | 05.31.08 - 1:33 pm

I have a hard time eating raw vegies without dip. Is it ok to use dip? If so, does it have to be fat free? And I assume the calories have to be counted in the meal.

SHARON | 05.30.08 - 5:49 pm

Hi,
Guess what? You wont believe that i weigh 173lbs now. I weighed myself this morning and i was so so happy. Thanks to you. But my clothes still fit and no one has noticed. I really dont care anyway...I 'll believe my scale.,..Thank you so so so much

Liz | 05.30.08 - 1:25 am

JoJo,

You're going in the right direction - I don't like going by scale numbrs anyway - I'd rather do by how you look or how other people notice the new way you look but as far a s scale numbers goes - I wouldnt check the scale everyday and only check it once a week

Adrian Bryant | 05.30.08 - 12:25 pm

Thank you for your response. Also, This is my 4th day so far. I'm 5'1" 139 lbs. The scale is pretty slow at changing numbers, but I do see a difference in the mirror. When will my pounds lost start showing on the scale? It kinda frustrates me. Any advice. -

Thank you.

As outlined in the diet above

I am going to attempt doing this diets as I am 6' 227 pounds. I wish to lose at least 20lbs. If I plan to incorporate one or two workouts a day, when should I drink the protein drinks? After the workout or as you outlined, before a meal?

JoJo,

You need to eat the raw veggies/fruits followed by drinking the protein shake and then... You eat 0-to-300 calories depending on your hunger level

Hi there. I love your information. Thank you. One thing I have a question. I have been following you program for 3 days now and so far so good. But, do you need to eat the raw veggies/fruits then wait, then drink the protein shake, then wait then eat if needed? I haven't been doing it that way, but I just thought I'd ask.

Thank you.

post uni,

I do think you can lose weight on this plan but if you don't have any pressing weight loss emergencies - why not try the other weight loss plans here?

I just finished my first yr at university and put on about 18 lbs...im 5'9 and weight 172 right now. id like to get back down to a more comfortable weight. i have time on my hands and know how to work out...what do you think can be accomplished if i follow your plan?

feeling kinda shallow

Here's your answers...

1: do the body sculpting exercises burn fat in those areas or just build muscle and if they do, would doing specific ab exercises burn belly fat faster than just normal cardio and weight training

NO - body sculpting execises help build and/or maintain muscle but.. this muscle you build helps shape and tone your body making your body look slimmer so doing ab exercises may burn a "little fat"compared to cardio but the ab muscle you build will help your belly look flatter.

2. if they do, what would you recommend doing so that she wouldn't lose size. She's kinda proud of them too and so am I. I don't want them to get smaller, but I'm sure you can understand that.

Like you said - people lose fat from different places on thier body and... I can't predict where she'll lose it from but I can tell you THese breast firming exercises will help here maintain what she has making them look bigger

Just a quick one here Adrian. Love the site by the way getting ready to start a fat loss plan with cardio and weight training with my girlfriend soon. Neither one of us are severely overweight maybe only about 15-20 lbs so I'm trying to combine this plan with stuff from the burn fat feed muscle e-book (great buy by the way). I've got two questions for you: Is the only way to really burn belly fat just by burning fat all over or are there specific excercises which when combined with fat loss will specifically target the stomach or is it pretty much just a crap shoot whether or not your body burns belly fat as fast as the rest of your body? Looked through the sculpting exercises but wasn't sure if they really encouraged belly fat burning more than anything else. I would assume they do but just wanted to double check. Also, along those lines, my second question is this. My girlfriend is....well...shall we say well endowed. And one thing I'm concerned with is she's had a great cup size for a while and only recently really put on a little extra weight (before I met her). Not a lot, as I've said we aren't severely overweight but we could do better. My question is with a fat burning program, is she really going to lose a lot as far as cup size is concerned or would the types of exercises we do affect that?

To make a ridiculously long post even longer basically 1: do the body sculpting exercises burn fat in those areas or just build muscle and if they do, would doing specific ab exercises burn belly fat faster than just normal cardio and weight training and 2: if they do, what would you recommend doing so that she wouldn't lose size. She's kinda proud of them too and so am I. I don't want them to get smaller, but I'm sure you can understand that.
