How much weight can I lose in 24days for a wedding?

[lemonade27]

Hey everyone have a wedding in literally 24days I’ve already lost 34lbs but need to lose about 8lbs more to reach my goal weight I’ve had a rough few weeks consistent then have a day or two cheat days but pick myself back up yesterday had some friends around haven’t seen them in a while we had kebab and treats and snacks and yes I went overboard but I had a great day yesterday anyway can I lose 8-10lbs in 24 days aiming 1200 calories doctor said that amount is fine for a short time with 4 days of workouts ?

It depends on how much you weigh. Unlikely as you’ve already lost a lot. Possibly on fast 800 but unlikely on 1200. However, if your dress fits I wouldn’t worry about a nominal number on the scales.

You can lose 1kg a week, so you have 3.5 weeks you can lose circa 6-7lbs - so yes you can lose that if you are super strict and exercise. Perhaps also increase steps.

You need a calorie deficit of 3500kcal to loose a pound. So you can hit your goal if you're down over 7000kcal a week, which means you probably need to be closer to 1000kcal a day intake.

James Duigan of Clean and Lean fame says that he recommends a six day programme to models for photoshoots or people going on holiday or to a wedding. It’s six days of white meat and green veg, only drinking water or green tea. So chicken, turkey or white fish plus green preferably leafy veg. Boring as hell but very effective. Very low carb but plenty of vitamins etc from the veg. I roast a big chicken on day one then eat it with veg over the next few days. You can have omelette made with egg whites and spinach if you can’t face meat for breakfast.

I’m pretty fat so last time I did it I lost 10lbs, which was enough to kickstart some proper dieting with more variety. I had a lot to lose. My sister did it before a wedding and fitted into her new dress 😊
