Sorry to break your bubbles girls but 1 kilo=7000 calories.
Even if your BMR is 2000 which is very unlikely and you eat only 1000 calories a day + do 2hours of medium-high intensity cardio a day to burn another 1000 calorie you will only be able to burn 1 kilo a week which would ammount to 4 in 28 day period.
Instead of losing some useless water weight which won't change your body at all how about you hit the free weights and tone up your body which will actually be more beneficial considering you aren't really fat.

I'm fat.
by over 12kg.
Chop off a limb because anything short of that and you're going to fail.
It's practically impossible due to your time-period.

You haven't factored in the after burn effect after training with weights... after resistance training, your metabolic rate can be spiked for upto 72 hours after training, so I'm relying on that.
And ofc, I'll be training with weights, and doing bodyweight workouts!

You are not going to lose 6.8 kilos in 4 weeks unless you go extreme in which case all you will lose is water and muscle weight.
I know how you feel(wanting to lose the weight) but get a realistic goal.I can lose 5 kilos in one day and I can tell you how to as well it's not hard but it will be all water weight and ineffective.
Look at the advice I gave to your friend below and follow it.

Get a real diet that you can actually follow through.
Check your BMR then substract 500 calories and eat only that ammount a day.
+ do 500 calorie workouts every day or every other day depending on your fitness level.
You'll lose a steady 0.5 kilos a week.

Step on the scales, and you see you've gained weight. But not a few pounds: oh, no.
Not even half a stone.
But a whole, friggin' stone.
Now obviously, something has to be done. Summer's around the corner, weddings are approaching (I'm asian... need I say more? Gotta look in good in that sari!
)
This thread will, from Monday 14th May, detail my workouts (which have been designed by a fitness coach) and diet to the t.
Guidelines: one full cheat day a week to boost leptin levels, the other six days: low fat, low carb, high protein.
I'll follow the above diet for a month and then transition into a less strict diet with a slightly higher carb intake (combined with protein) in the morning, and a combo of fat and protein meals for the rest of the day.
I'm determined to stick to this, if you'd like to join in, you're more than welcome to!
Starting stats
Weight: 10 stone 2lbs
Height: 5'4
Bodyweight percentage: 28%

ive lost 7kg in a 2month period 76-69kg, but that was moderate exercise i would say average of 2 runs a week, and mostly just watching what i eat, and not snacking on chocolate and burgers daily
So i think it mite be possible for you to achieve this, best of luck
Original post by malaikah
That's why it's only for a month, and a Cheat Day scheduled per week.
I'm not even sure how to reply to that without sounding like a snobbish tosser.
Good luck, let us know how it goes in a few months time and whether you manage to keep the weight off and how your body composition is.
Original post by malaikah
I'll be aiming for around 900 calories, apart from the weekly Cheat Day, where you don't count calories at all. Eat what you want, when you want (trust me: it works).
Warning: protein such as fish and egg whites begin to taste like crap when you eat them almost everyday
You're more than welcome to moan about how vile it tastes!

If you're going to be doing free weights and a power lifting workout then seriously consider increasing your intake. You can work out your Base Metabolic Rate here.
Added muscle and changing your body composition to be contain more lean muscle will mean you burn calories at rest.
I used this fitness guide when I first started working on my health. Since then I've lost about 20% of my original weight.

I don't want to loose weight, which means I won't be trying it. However what I can tell you is you'll be lucky to lose more than half a stone, if that, within a month.

*shrug* Fair enough!
Original post by malaikah
Actually it does: carbs, protein, and fat all have different thermogenic factors.
30% of the calories contained in food that is 100% protein will be burnt in actually being broken down. And so ultimately, you're ingesting fewer calories than you originally thought!

um no.
calories in < calories out

Sorry brah but she's kinda right. Calories are determined by a calorimeter, which essentially burns the food in an oxygen environment and the rise in temperature of the water gives the energy per gram. However a 'colorimeter' is not a good approximation for our stomachs since we do not burn the food in oxygen. The efficiency of converting food to energy is different for each food. Simple sugars are easy to digest but we are unlikely to be able to get much energy from grass even though it might contain many calories ect

900 calories = a good breakfast. This is just a bad idea, no wonder you struggle to keep the weight off.
And I eat tuna everyday, it still tastes good to me. You just need to get used to it and remember food is fuel for the body. Though if you have time you can make healthy food taste good.
Edit: This thread is full of so much fail its funny. Everyone comes out saying they want to join in when its a crap plan but when people post a good method for losing weight everyone stays quiet and ignores it.
