Please help me to lose 8 kilograms (approximately 17 lbs) in 2 months?

[shruthiismyname]

Is it possible? I am a 17 yr old girl and past two months I didn't even do any kind of physical activity (I was roaming around my town with friends few times...thats it and that too in car and bike) and was enjoying my holidays. Now that its coming to an end I was shocked to see how much weight I have gained (8 kilos). During holidays my eating habits were messed up and so was my menstrual cycle. I lost stamina and doc told that I am anaemic. Now I am freaking out a lot. Then I realized whining doesn't help so I want to reduce my weight. Please please help me by suggesting what exercise regimen and diet (veg only) to follow to lose weight and AT THE SAME TIME improve my stamina. I am Living in HELL right now...I am fainting wherever I go (thats how poor my health is). The worst thing is I live in India where the temperature is very hot and even if I stand under scorching heat for Just five minutes I will faint then and there. Your help is literally going to save my life (no over exaggeration just the truth). Please help me. by the way my height is 172 cm and weight 72 kgs.

It's definitely possible to lose that in 2 months :)

My advice would be sit down and draw yourself up a proper plan of your 2 months, break down your days and weeks to give yourself and some routine that you can stick to. That way you'll feel more motivated as the time goes on.

The best ways to lose weight are cardio and strength (so weights basically) but if you don't have much access to that cardio is still great as your sole form of exercise. Either get yourself a cardio workout dvd you can do at home in the cool and at least when you're finished you can chuck your clothes off and sit by the air con or something. Keep yourself hydrated and don't starve yourself. Before you do your weekly shop plan out some meals that are high in proteins and low in fat. You could probably get some really good healthy vegetarian meal plans online! and make yourself some good foods throughout the week.

Have some access to a decent set of scales aswell, ones which are electronic so break down your weight digitally so you get an accurate readout. Weigh yourself every week or two weeks and jot down your weight. I also find when I'm trying to really lose a lot of weight that I write down all the exercise I've down in the day because reading back over it I think..wow I did all that O.o and I feel proud seeing it on paper like that.

The most important thing is 17 pounds isn't that much weight so don't stress over it, don't compromise your health and muck up your metabolism over trying to do it in 2 months. It is definitely possible but do it healthy and you'll be better in the long run for it.

Good luck and take care of yourself! :)

to lose FAT!!! (anyone can lose pounds straving themselves)...the number one thing you need to fix is NUTRITION. That is way more important than exercising or running daily. You need to have a certain amount of macro nutrients a day (Fats, proteins, carbs). to calculate look up the iifym calculator. You need to track your food and it so easy. All you need is a myfitnesspal app. If you have to look at instagram then you have time to imput your food. Research, to lose that much in that much time is doable, but you need to fix nutrition. Research macronutrient and you will understand that most food you think are junk food are not that bad as long as it fits your macros...Lost 14 lbs of fat in 3 months i am 5'8 156 lbs trying to go to 146 of little fat...then get up 170 of pure muscle...lol soo much to tell...but if you want bad then thats all on you...

You need to keep yourself hydrated. Have lots of water and fruit juice. Exercise is the only way to burn the fat you've built up, maybe jogging in the morning (sunlight ain't harsh that time), yoga can help. Avoid junk food and oily food as much as possible.

Because your calorie intake to 1200 Per day eliminate all grains, fruits, refined sugars basically anything that is white. Perform interval style cardio five days per week for periods of 45 minutes or more drink at least a gallon of water per day
