Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday Mornings & Evenings

REST OR… Only do low or moderate intensity workouts on these days to allow your body to rest & recover from the high intensity workouts and depending on how important it is that you lose weight whether it be for a wedding, reunion or any other important event…

Hi everyone,

I started this plan from this morning and I don't feel very hungry at all which is a miracle for me!!

I've got a hen party in just under four weeks and we've got to wear white Greek goddess costumes. I'm hoping to lose the predicted 20lbs by then! Taking me from 171lbs down to 151lbs, then it's the wedding four weeks later and I'd love to lose another 20lbs by then but I don't think it will be possible.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Louise

Hi Adrian!

I am a 5'3 female and 17 years old. I was 132 pounds when I started the plan and in the last 4 weeks I have lost 10 pounds. I am hoping to get to 112 pounds and then I'll stop the diet, possibly in about 3 more weeks. How will I maintain my weight after that and also stay toned/build muscles? Will it be okay if I start eating a little bit of chocolates, donuts or other fat food after that?

June 17, 2013

Adrian Bryant

at 122 pounds it may take longer than 3 more weeks to get to 112 because the less you weigh = the longer it takes to lose weight

June 17, 2013

Marina

I'll be happy even if I become about 117 or 118 pounds after 3 weeks. So, after I stop how will I maintain my weight and get a toned body or build muscles? Will it be okay if I start eating a little bit of chocolates, donuts or other fat food then?

June 17, 2013

Adrian Bryant

maintaining is all about eating the right amount of calories (about 1200-to-1500) and staying active.

you can eat anything as long as you don't eat over 2000 cals

June 17, 2013

Marina

thanks so much Adrian! You are helping so many people :)

June 12, 2013

Adrian Bryant

the emergency plan on this page is your best bet but make sure you follow the workout as well and it does not matter if I THINK you can do it but DO YOU think you can!

Sue

Hi! So, I've already lost 100 lbs, but it took me over 2.5 yrs to do that. However, I still need to lose about 80-95 more lbs. I already eat healthy and exercise about 6 times a week, but the weightloss seems to be slowing down. I really wanna lose 20 lbs fast so I can be under 200. Right now I'm 219.4. Can this plan help me out?

June 11, 2013

livia

is that okay that i eat 1 egg white and drink an all natural fruit smoothie for breakfast?

June 10, 2013

Hi. I'm 18, 1.71 m tall and 79 kg (i guess this means 158 pounds or something like that). I always tried to lose weight, I tryied all kind of diets. Anyway, I have this event coming, and I think it would be a good start to lose those 20 pounds until then. My biggest issue, which is why I can not lose wheight, and I couldn't do this on my own by now is that I do not have patient. I am insecure, only fast diets worked for me before because I knew how much wheight I was going to lose in a concrete time. Every time I try to do it on my own I don't know how much this is going to take and it freaks me out. I know this is a stupid question, as long as you just said in your article that if I follow all those rules for 6 weeks I'm going to lose wheight, but will I lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks? ( I guess I just need someone to keep reminding me)

June 10, 2013

Adrian Bryant

yes you will IF you follow the plan as is

Would this plan help me lose 15lbs in 3 weeks?
12:00 = 2egg whites, 1/2 a banana & oats porridge made with water flavered with cinnamon
2:00 = half a cup of tuna & 1 1/2 cups of broccoli
4:00 = steamed chicken with green beans
6:00 = post workout banana protein smoothies
8: 00 = steamed chicken, 1/2 of quinoa, 2 cups of spinach and 1 tomato
All this plus loads of cardio and weight training?
I have a surprise beach getaway in 4 weeks 😵

June 06, 2013

Adrian Bryant

how many total calories is all of that? why make your own plan when there is a proven plan on this page?

June 08, 2013

Lewis

Hi Adrian great program. I weigh 168pounds and I'm 5'4 19 years old about roughly 27% body fat so I'm definitely 20 pounds overweight. Do you think that in 5 weeks time if I follow this program but swap the evening workout with an intense weights session ill be ale to successfully lose the 20 pounds? Thanks again

Lewis

June 06, 2013

Adrian Bryant

I would not do an evening session of weights to guarantee you'll lose it in 5 weeks so stick to the plan as is and do 2 fat loss workouts

Hi Adrian,
Thank you for this great plan. I am visiting home in three weeks and I want to loose as much weight as possible before I see friends and family again. My question is can I use crystal light in my water? I have a hard time drinking plain water as I am addicted to soda. I think I can replace it with crystal light. Will that slow my weight loss?

Thanks!

June 06, 2013

Adrian Bryant

it's best to follow this plan as is and crystal light's artifical sweenteners may make it harder for you to stick to and is crystal light calorie free?

Natalie

Hi my name is Natalie, I'm a 22 year old female.
I'm 178cm tall and my weight is 69kg. I have a normal BMI I know but I want to go down to 58-60kg. I've tried everything with no results!

I am very active and have always been very active. I was training two times a day, started of with swimming or walking every morning on empty stomach and strength training at the evenings 5 days a week (never the same musclegroup twice a week).
I was eating 1200-1500kcal a day. And my proteinintake was and is very high, around 130g/day. and carbs about the same and 25-30g of fat. I only eat healty stuff, all kind of meat, vegetables, apples, eggs, oatmeal, fatfree youghurt, walnuts, avocado...
I didn't see any!!! results for 4 months!
Sure! I've added some muscles and got mor firm and strong. But that was not my point!
I feelt very tired, exhausted and mentally frustrated. Cause' I was really giving it all and didn't see any results.
So i was, 'ok what's the point with killing myself at the gym and without any results, i feel very bad, and maybe I'm overtraining.

So know I have changed my training but my diet remains the same cause' I'm scared to add more calories cause' I don't want to gain weight.
I have now skipped the strength training completely. I don't need nor want more muscles.

Now I only swim every other day and do interval (run 1 minute and walk one minute) every other day in the mornings on empty stomach. I do that for 40 min.
I feel so much better!!!
mentally but specially physically! I'm don't feel tired or exhausted or like if I have been hit by a buss anymore!
I feel normal and good. BUT! I still don't see any results.
I have been doing this for 3 weeks now.
I don't gain nor loose any weight. I'm always at the same.

Please help me! What I'm a doing wrog?
Do I train to little/to much?
Do I eat to little/to much?
Have my body taken damage of the hard workout I was doing before along with the low calorie diet?

Please help!!
Sorry for any bad english, I'm from Serbia

Natalie

Forgott to mention. I'm active trew out the day. Cleaning the whole hoouse every day! Yes every day! cause' Im a mental clean-freak!
It may sound stupid but running those stairs 30 times a day, dusting everthing, glide trew the house with the vacuum, scrubbing the floor and the bathrooms. It's 3 hours of non stop motion that shouln't be underestimated! And plus running errands.

June 05, 2013

Adrian Bryant

what is your body fat % and how exactly are you tracking all the calories you eat?

June 06, 2013

natalie

I have a app in my iphone called shapeup tjat counts everything.
My bodyfat percentage is 19% accoting to one online calculator and 23% according to another.
Height 178cm
Neck 30cm
Waist 68cm
Hips 97cm

I don't know how relieable those calculators are.
I'm very terrible with drinking water. I don't drink much trew out the day.
I only had/still have one cheat day a week. But i never overdo it. I eat more carbs, good and bad. But I avoid fatty foods and candy.

June 06, 2013

Adrian Bryant

okay here's the deal...

#1 - you're already lean (maybe not real lean) but lean enough to a point where fat loss is going to be slower than someone who has 35%+ bodyfat so...

#2 - you'll need to be more patient but here is what I advise...

do fasting with your 1200-to-1500 calorie diet and for your workout follow these rules

June 08, 2013

Jasmine

I want you to give me the meals to eat like bread or rice ..
Cause i dont know what to eat

June 05, 2013

Stephanie

I have been dieting since February and I still weigh the same. I only want to lose 20 pounds. I currently weigh 152. 5'5. Tell me did all the fiber one bars and artificial low calorie snacks do this to me? That's all I are with protect shakes 3 servings of fruit and protein for lunch. With either wheat tortilla or whole wear bread 50-60 calories per slice. Yes I do appear leaner but my weight is the same. What should I so differently?

June 04, 2013

Adrian Bryant

how many total calories were you eating?

June 04, 2013

Ms.pipi

Hi Adrian, I love doing the taebo workouts - could you tell me roughly how many calories an average person can loose by doing these 2 parts of taebo? www.youtube.com

thank you

June 03, 2013

Adrian Bryant

don't know exactly but i heard tae-bo burns 500+ calories per hour

June 04, 2013

Ms.pipi

So hypothetically, if one exercised twice a day 5-6 times a week, they could loose 5-6 kgs?

this is for a female, 5.3 - 93kgs - 23 years old

June 05, 2013

Adrian Bryant

lose 5-6 kgs how fast?

June 06, 2013

Margie

Hi Adrian, I bought the whey protein to drink before my meals..but I really love coffee in the morning,acually I drink coffee after I eat my lunch and dinner. I wanted to know if its OK if I only drink the protein before bedtime?

June 03, 2013

Adrian Bryant

I would usually give you some latitude to veer off course but with this emergency plan it's best to stick with the plan as is to get the best results

June 03, 2013

Maggie

When you say one fruit or veggie, obviously that doesn't apply to things like berries or grapes. How much of them should I eat if I want them to count as one of my pre-meal fruits? A handful? A cup?

June 01, 2013

Adrian Bryant

it applies to all of them but you have to use some trial and error on your part. you want to eat enough so that it blunts your appetite and yes... obivously 1 grape or berry may not do that

June 03, 2013

Danielle

Do you drink protein before you eat veggies? I saw your Youtube video and it says to drink whey protein before each meal but didn't see it on here. Please let me know :)I Thanks for all the great diet plans!

May 31, 2013

Adrian Bryant

although the plan in the video works, this is the updated much better version of that video plan
