Trying to lose 30 pounds in a week is idiotic. The human body can only only metabolize 2 pounds of fat in a week at a maximum. Which means that if you lose 30 pounds in a month, you’ll lose 8 pounds of fat and 28 pounds of water, muscle, etc. Losing muscle will decrease your resting metabolic rate, which means your body will be burning fewer calories after losing 30 pounds. In the end, you’ll be doing something extremely unhealthy and you’ll just end up gaining the weight again anyway.
You’d be better off just going on a restricted calorie diet (no fewer than 1600 calories for women or 2000 calories for men, you should probably eat more than that) with healthy foods (chicken breast, sweet potato, oatmeal, salmon, etc.) combined with 40 minutes of cardio 3-6 times a week, weight training 3-5 times a week (women, don’t worry, weight training will not make you look like though disgusting women in bodybuilding magazines. Women don’t have the right hormones to look like that, unless they take steroids.). Finally, it’s important to get 8 hours of sleep every night.
I hope some of you read this and realize that trying to lose 30 pounds in a month would be a futile effort. Lose weight in a healthy way or don’t bother losing it at all.
