dieting

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

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.

Yeah uk the uk well I've been on it 3 days today and only lost 2 pound so never really worked always hungry and got dizzy spells at time and felt weak x

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.

Doctor told me to do a egg diet

A real doctor told you to do an egg diet?

I don't get hungryy much, but still eat as yu have to. Doctor wont me to lose 2 stone before surgery in 3 months

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

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.
