Sounds like a bunch of ********.

Wii fit? Slimfast?

Can you just not eat as much crap and go to the gym like a normal person? No one goes 7 days a week.

Cut calories to 500 below bmr and run.
And I think 3 stone is too much in 7 weeks.

You'd have to lose about 6 pounds a week, which is very unhealthy.

So, no.

Sure!



One is the upper limit of what you should be aiming for.

500 below BMR x activity level.

No, and failing will make you feel miserable which will make you eat more
The secret is raw chicken.

Leave it out of the fridge for a few hours, then rub the raw chicken around a salad. Then you can cook the chicken and mix it with the salad before. It tastes and smells just like a normal chicken salad but it has an incredible and rapid effect on weight loss.

It will also make you scoff at anybody who tells you they're bedridden with "swine flu".

Your BMR isn't your daily calorie needs (unless you're in a coma), you have to factor in calorie needs from daily activities too.
You''ll never go to the gym every day, I'm 9 and a half stone and can't stand to go every day for an hour, start on twice/three times a week if you're moving up from nothing. Or it'll be too much on your muscles. Stay away from slimfast, you'll never keep it off.

That doesn't sound healthy...You'll put it on as quickly as you lost it..If you want long term weight loss then you need time..Aim to lose 2 pounds a week...

You think that it'd work with other meats? Just imagine smearing uncooked beef all over bread then making burgers...

That's how I like my steak.

Knock it's horns off, wipe it's ass and just drag it across the grill. Serve.

I do seem to remember something about a guy being arresed for pulling a cows leg off with a tractor around here when drunk. Think about it, whole leg, straight off the cow->breifly over a fire. Bang, instant muscle man food for a few hours. And you get 4 legs per cow!
You might be able to lose 6 lbs in a week if you're severely overweight but you can't keep that up for 7 weeks - it's unhealthy.
