Ive got about 10-15 pounds to lose. Looking to go low carb. what's a good carb/calorie daily limit on a small frame if I want to lose this weight in about a month? Ive looked around but haven't really come across any good information.

Let's say your BMR is around 1900 cals/day. Cut to 1200 and you'll lose 1 lb/week from diet alone. Toss in some exercise on top of that and 1-2 days of fasting, and you can cut 2 lbs/week. I wouldn't recommend doing this for longer than about 5 weeks, but for a short amount of time, it works great. That's what I do when I'm cutting and it works.

Carb limits? Somewhere between 30-50g is probably the upper limit if you want to do it correctly. Meal suggestions: Package of bacon (no carbs, lots of protein and fat, and a package is generally under 500 cals).

A personal favorite is a package of Tyson Grilled Chicken strips (200 cals, 38g protein) tossed with a package of steamed green beans (100 cals). Toss that all with 1 tbsp of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. 400 cals, lots of protein, low carb (good fiber content, too), good fats.

Cafe Steamers in the frozen section are pretty good, but they tend to have 35+g of carbs, so they're not ideal for a low-carb diet, but they are very low calorie.

Do the velocity diet. If you do the velocity diet, it will all come off in a month, and it will be mostly fat loss. Eat properly afterwards and you won't gain it back.

I looked it up. How the hell did you do that for a month? I don't know if I could last a week

Damn you eat a whole package of bacon for a meal?

Yea I don't think I'd be doing that even if I wasn't on a diet.

I'm not on a diet

Plus, it's got lots of protein. I guarantee people eat more fat in one sitting at Oklahoma Joe's than is in a package of bacon.

Less than 500 calories. Less than a handful of Oreos, less than half of a Chipotle burrito, or a dessert at a restaurant.

If you're going from people thinking you look fine to being thin it's going to be impossible to do 15lbs in a month.

You can lose 15 pounds in a month on the velocity diet. I went from 209 to 189.

Well, a pound is 3500 calories. Once you've burned 35000 more calories than you've taken in, you will have lost 10 pounds.

Mecca · 11-09-2009, 09:35 PM

What the hell is that...and if you were 209 you probably had more weight to lose than him...
