I want to lose close to a stone in 4 weeks..here's how I'm going to do it

Will it work?
I'm going to walk fast/jog(depends) every evening for an hour, 7.2 kilometres followed by a half-hour swim.
Diet-wise, I'm going to eat a lot of cereal for breakfast, probably museli and an apple. Lunch will be a regular meal, of course with not too much of fatty stuff and some salad. I'll have some biscuits and another apple at around 4 and then just a glass of milk for dinner.

No. It won't work.

Firstly, you need to do more than walking fast or jogging. Research HIIT. This can speed up your metabolism and help you burn more fat than just jogging would in 4 weeks.

As for breakfast, you need to not eat 'a lot of cereal' no matter what the cereal is. You need to have a normal amount - one bowl and some fruit.

As for lunch, have a sandwhich or something! Make sure you eat food with high nutritional values and not too many carbs or rather, not too much of one food group which for a lot of people is carbs

For you mid-afternoon snack leave the biscuits! Keep the apple but substitute the biscuits for a boiled egg or biopot yogurt/activia - low fat/fat free

If you have just a glass of milk for dinner the you're basically starving yourself.
Have a tuna omellette or grilled salmon for dinner. You need your protein which a lot of people lack.


And eat something atleast an hour or two before you go bed like fruit or veg or something so that you don't over eat next morning for breakfast/throughout the day.

You missed out the fact that I will swim for half an hour in addition to the walk

Oh right. Lol, sorry. Increase the swimming to an hour, do that 4-6 times a week and you should be on your way

You should try HIIT swimming

Umm I have an option of going swimming in the morning and walking in the evening? Would that be a good option?

Yeah, but you won't lose anything as fast as you want.

Instead of walking in the evening run

so if i run instead of walking(really fast) in the evening, I won't lose at all?

Okay, I'm confused.

Here's the thing:
Walking does very little in 4 weeks. No matter how much/how fast you walk, it does very little. Running on the other hand works your body and your muscles and the faster you run, the more your body works to keep up with you. SO, walking will work but very slowly which is why I recommend running IF you wanna lose something in 4 weeks.

hmm..thanks..i'm doing the swimming though..

In this thread: OP ignores all sensible advice with a brilliant riposte: 'i'm doing the swimming though..'

I'm not ignoring any advice. I have a shin problem which prevents me from running. I'm just trying to find a way around it.

I don't get why people are giving advice, the OP obviously lacks the most important thing when it comes to endeavours such as losing weight: willpower.


That and like most people, they're quite obviously retarded.

Do you know how hard it will be to lose a stone in 4 weeks just by swimming and walking??
4 weeks of swimming and walking isnt gonna get u anywhere near where u wanna be. I gave you the information you need to lose [almost] 1 stone and if you wanna. ignore it (which you're doing anyway) then go ahead. Just know that your method will not lose near enough what you wanna lose.

And dont listen to that "eat 250cal and exercise off 850" bs. That could kill you. And if it doesnt kill you then it would hospitalise you.

Why are you getting so offensive? Did you not read my earlier post where I mentioned that I am not ignoring anyone's advice, it's just that I can't run because I have a shin problem.
