How soon should I see weight loss?

[Anonymous]

I weigh about 250lbs and started walking/jogging a mile 3X a week and cut out sugars and white breads/carbs. How soon should I see results?

Don't be hasty. Loosing weight in a controlled and healthy weight takes time. Important is that you do low intensity cardio for more than 1/2 h to activate the fat burning system (usually takes some 20 min). Walking and jogging is fine for that, also biking and swimming. You cut unhealthy carbs, thats good, but see that your daily intake of carbs is below of what your body needs. You will certainly start seeing clear results after 2 weeks (don't get puzzled by the daily weight variation), but check e. g. each month or every two weeks. Its the average that counts.

You should not just cut out White bread but all bread. A carb is a carb. Read this article and go read Shin's website. He is trying to sell a book (which I didn't buy), but the overall info on his site will show you why you aren't seeing any differences yet. Change to his diet suggestions and change your exercise routine and you will see a rapid difference. It will still take a long time to get rid of that much excess weight.

I am cutting out all breads. I'm just not cutting out carbs like in corn.

good. And all sugar? I hope so. Look at that link then link to the rest of the site. Learn about short high intensity workouts to prevent "Hoarding" by the body and learn to eat a high protein diet. Read his site.

You'll see results in a weekly basis. I tend to lose about 2.5 lbs a week, but it really depends too.

[I_am_repulsive]

That's dependant on how hard you are willing to work and so far I've only done 30 min arc exercise/treadmill and some weight lifting for just 15 min

I just started doing a crossfit class 2-3 days a week along with working up to running a full mile. I can run about half so I alternate jogging and walking to complete the mile. This is my first week.

I haven't really changed my diet though, but if you want the best results you need a proper diet. I also have hypothyroidism so it makes it harder for me to lose weight

[I_am_repulsive]

Just start slow and build up from there. Do not push yourself too hard, just maintain a inclined pace

It depends on your metabolism, a mile is not a lot but the diet is good. It will be a while before you see huge results but stick with it, you'll be happy you did. Try adding some weight training and try running your mile faster and adding in some more distance.

hope you are cutting calories too. But water weight drops in the first 2 days if you stop eating carbs.
