Anyone know how to lose a stone in 1 month?

I’ve put a stone on and it’s depressing me terribly.
I want to lose it as quickly and safely as possible.
has anyone been through this and can help me?

One stone is 49,000 calories. That’s around a 1,600 calorie deficit per day. Which is too much. The maximum safe amount is a 1,000 calorie deficit per day. Which is pretty tough to achieve.

You need to figure out how many calories you burn per day. There are detailed calculators for this. Then plan out your meals for each week. To hit that number.

Do high protein and low carb. To lose fat and little muscle. Protein also makes you feel full longer. Plus high protein sources like tuna and chicken breasts are generally low in calories. So, you can get a lot of food bulk in your stomach. As to that a lot of healthy vegetables. As they too are low in calories compared to the mass you can eat. Besides protein, get most of the rest of your calories from fat.

Add exercise to your diet. Burns more calories and keeps muscles working.

Once you hit your healthy weight. keep up the exercise and adjust your diet to be calorie neutral. Simply dieting doesn’t work long term. You need to make a permanent dietary change for it to last. So, don’t just eat healthy food you hate. Figure out how to prepare it to taste good.

A really good hassle free method I've used is a 16/8 fast, where you only eat in an 8 hour window per day. The 16 hours isn't as bad if you sleep for 8 of them! After about 12 hours your body runs out of energy from food and starts to use it's own stored energy (fat) which is 4 hours of calorie burning for free!!
I lost weight without calorie deficits or exercise, so if you included either of them I believe you'd lose weight quickly!

Weight is all about the net energy spend, calories out and calories in.

you can't lose exactly a stone in a month unless you're really big or starve yourself, but you can lose close to that (like about 4-5kgs). that's if you eat the lowest amount of calories you can get away with healthily so like 1200 cals a day. to do that just count the calories in everything you eat and pick the food you eat wisely and budget your calories accordingly

I lost about 20lbs in a month doing omad (one meal a day) and eating under 1000 cals. Not ideal but it works and after a few days like by the fourth or fifth day your appetite becomes suppressed. It works even faster if you incorporate keto but you don't have to incorporate keto, it just works good with omad.

This sounds like great advice and well done to you for losing that weight. I really admire anyone who has managed to do it. I know I’m going to find it so hard but I’m so determined. I’ve just done myself a healthy online food shop so I can do the 1000 Cala easy and one main meal with maybe some liquid snacks

Do you mind if I ask what you weighed before?

296. Now at 271. I still have a long long way to go but it's doable even if you are way smaller than me. My best friend who is much smaller than me did it too and lost about over a stone in a month and a half. She's 180 now. Was at almost 200.

Also thank you. It certainly wasn't easy at first.

Sure, bash your ring about a lot and the stone will fall out. 😅

Just by stop drinking soda and juices you can do that.
