Hi everyone 😊, I've been dieting for 12 days now I've lost 10 pounds in 12 days, I've tried everything,I get3 hours a day exciting biking,walking, watching youtube dance vidios with 25 mins in Moring and 25 after tea. Doctor told me to do a egg diet as I'm a big ish lady and she said it will work for 5 days at least I started it yesterday and l got weighed this Moring and lost 2 pound there say you can lose upto 12 pounds a week I don't believe that that's nearly a stone gone, has anyone else tried it before starting it I used to eat 1,000-1200 calories a day. Any ideas I've been eating egg and veg and fruit only

If you were a "bigish" lady and need to loose 2 stone before surgery then you probably weren't eating enough on 1000-1200 calories a day or the weight should have been falling off you. It sounds rather extreme and I fear it's not healthy to be eating so little and suddenly increasing your exercise but if it's a quick fix before surgery then stick with it, but it doesn't sound very sustainable for long term weight management. What you've lost initially will be fluid retention not fat.

And the doctor told you to do an egg diet to do that?

A real doctor told you to do an egg diet?

I think eggs are almost the perfect food, just missing fibre, vit C and a few minor vits that OP could indeed get from the F&V

I'm just astonished OP maintained her weight on 1000 kcal/day so she must be on < 500 kcal/day now yet somehow be very large to have lost 10 lbs in 12 day. That implies 3000 kcal deficit a day all done thru exercise & initial very large mass. Lately I exercise moderately for 3 hours & only use about 1000 kcal.

Or did OP only start the diet yesterday & yet lost 2 lbs in one day. that's rather extreme, too.

There's a whole board for dieting, I'd ask on there for more replies, as this board is exercise-specific. I must say it sounds very odd that a doctor recommended an "egg diet", was this in the UK? It doesn't sound very balanced.
