Weight loss questions? Im losing 10kilos in 6 weeks?
You need to be more realistic and double or triple the time to lose that much weight. You need to burn an extra 77,000 calories to lose 10 kilos of body fat. That's like almost 2000 calories EXTRA a day you would have to burn. Unreasonable goals are never met, so keep your goals reasonable so you can reach them. 2 lbs of fat loss a week is really the upper limit and in my opinion is too much because you will lose some muscle. 1 to 1 1/2 pounds a week is better because you can keep all of your muscle and even gain a little. More muscle = higher metabolism so you should never lose muscle. You can lose that much "weight" in 6 weeks but a lot of it will be muscle loss. Then you will gain even more fat back because your metabolism will be slower due to having less muscle. You should be focused on losing fat only, not "weight" in general. As long as you are progressing consistently don't worry about the time frame. It will come soon enough. The only way you will keep the weight off is by adopting a healthy lifestyle. You can't just diet and then go back to the same crappy foods that caused the fat gain in the first place. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what going to happen if you do that.
