How can I lose 35 pounds in 2 months?

[Anonymous]

I have recently gained weight from several Heath conditions some are
POTS, it's an atonimic immune disease,
Sever Costochondritis
thyroid disease
and a super high heart rate.
It hurts my chest horribly to exercise, do you have any ideas how to get back up and moving, a better way to condition myself slowly? What's the easiest way to cut down on calorie? What's the best way to keep track of my calories? Think it will be possible for me to lose 35 pounds in 2.25 months?

35 lbs is a lot to lose in that time unless you are very obese (as in the can't hardly walk category). Safely you should lose no one than 2 lbs a week after the first two weeks of any diet. The initial amount that is more than that is simply water weight more than likely. If it is a high amount that you are losing you are probably losing muscle as well. I recently started eating clean and exercising several times a week. I am regularly losing inches, but my weight is going down slowwwwwwwwly. I'm OK with that because it means I am losing fat and gaining muscle. Muscle is what burns calories and takes up a third of the space fat does. So essentially inches lost=good, but actually seeing the scale go down= maybe/maybe not.

Depends on what you do and how you do it.

Look, to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. Find a calorie calculator online (I recommend freedieting. com) and find out how many calories it takes to maintain your weight. Eat 500 calories less than that to lose a pound a week or up to 1000 calories less to lose two pounds a werk. Make sure you track your calories, ideally on a calorie tracker app like LoseIt or Myfitnesspal. Weigh your food out on a food scale to ensure accuracy. If your not losing weight, check your calorie counting, eat less or add in some cardio (optional).

Losing 35 pounds in 2 months is highly unlikely. But it doesn't mean you can't get a good start on your weight loss journey.

Just do stuff and eat more healthy food. You don't need to starve yourself and you don't need to spend all day at the gym. In my experience just find something active that you like to do (swimming, bike rides, walking, whatever) and do lots of it. There are also a lot of health monitoring devices available that can help you to track progress and keep your motivation up. There's also a free site (Microsoft Health Vault) where you can track your overall health; it does all these nice trends/graphs for you regarding weight, blood pressure and a bunch of other fun stuff. If you got the money you could go the personal trainer route but that tends to get real expensive real quick.

I'm assuming you're under care for your conditions. Have you asked the medical staff this question? They know what's going on with you and can give far better advice than strangers on the Internet can. In very general terms, eat more protein (it'll fill you up faster and build/maintain muscle mass), and reduce or replace carbs. I'm not saying you have to jump on the Atkin's train here, but it'll help. But nothing can replace sound medical advice, which you should seek if possible.

I think that there is no magical way... the best solution? eat less, dont change anything just eat less of what you eat, if is too hard then start by not eating a spoon or a small piece of what you eat, if you are Rambo then eat half of every meal... it will work I promise.

and if you have to get special thing because of your condition then just eat less of what is not in that list.

There are a lot of smartphone apps that can help you track your calories and remind you to exercise. Maybe instead like one high intensity work out a day you can do lots of little work outs? Or maybe something soothing like yoga and Pilates?

You sholdn't. Losing weight too fast puts even more strain on your body. Instead you should change yuor diet to be more healthy and adaptive to your health condition and do general and easy to do movement. Cycling, volleyball, walking stairs, swimming, etc.

You will get fitter and lose weight with time this way in a slow and more healthy way.

Some people I know lost a lot of weight from eating healthier and walking in their neighborhood every day.

I mainly do the bad thing about my condition is I have to have a ton of extra sodium and drink a ton of extra liquids. Could that be part of my problem?
