How soon can you loose weight?

[lozzy21]

Silly question but yesterday was my first day of not being a pig and ate mostly fruit and salad (apart from the packet of oreo's i had lastnight)

Iv woke up with morning, havent weighed myself as i have no scales but i sware i feel thinner? is it posible to loose it this quick?

Well 1lb roughly equates to 3500 calories ... so if you burnt that off yesterday then its possible i guess.

I think it takes 2 or 3 days to get your body going into the fat burning process

Thanks hun thats what i thought. I could have done that yesterday while at work but i doubt it.

Maybe since you ate cleaner you arent bloated

i had to have a look at a pack of oreos for this
55 calories per oreo, about 20 per pack thats like 1100 calories! i doubt very much you've lost weight eating them

but for breakfast i had yogurt and fruit, for lunch i had salad with cottage cheese and rivita and for tea i had salad with cottage cheese, hummus and pitta bread so my calorie intake was a lot lower yesterday that what it has been these past few weeks so it is possible.

And in a pack there is only 650 calories.

I ate them because they were there, only ment to have one or 2 but before i noticed they were gone lol.

STEP AWAY FROM THE OREO'S!

and give them to me ...... not had them in forever!

Thats why i don't buy nice treat food because if i have a little i want more, i prefer to have none

Those 3500 calories i mentioned ... you have to burn that off on top of the basic calories you burn just by doing normal stuff ...

So to lose 1lb in a week youd need to burn an extra 500 cals a day on top of your usual

How dose that work with regard to my calorie intake. I dident exercise any more than usual but i ate a lot less. Im realy overweight so it may be different for you skinny witches out there.

Its calories in vs calories out.

Since you say you're overweight your body will burn more calories just to keep itself going (by breathing, moving muscles etc etc) because you weigh more.
If you use up 2000 cals a day just by living, and you consume 1800, you are in deficet of 200cals with no extra exercise. You need to be in a 3500 deficet before you lose 1lb of fat. So really, to lose anything you need to drastically cut your calories back so you're in a deficit of around 400 or so, then do exercise ontop of that (say 150cals). Thats 550 cals per day which would amount to 3850 weekly, which is a 1lb loss weekly

Your weight will naturally fluctuate between 1-2lbs day on day with water weight.
