If I need to lose a total of

[Auxey]

six stone, can I lose 2 stone in 3 months? Does that sound doable? Anyone done it? If so can you tell me how please? The problem is, I don't want to starve myself...

meant to say, I don't care how long it takes to get the rest of it off , I just want to shift two stone before a holiday.

Thanks

2 stone is 28 lbs.
3 months is approx 13 weeks.

28/13 = 2.154

So you need to lose just over 2 lbs a week. It's definitely achievable without starving yourself.

As to how, that's a matter of personal choice and circumstance. (I don't believe there is one 'diet' that suits everybody) I haven't lost as much as you want to but I have lost weight steadily in the past and maintained my current weight or thereabouts for 18 months now - around 9st 7lbs and BMI of 20.7ish.

I chose to do the 'move more and eat less' version of weightloss; I very rarely eat potatoes, pasta, bread, pastry, biscuits, cake or rice but don't worry about fresh fruit and most vegetables.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
