I Need To Lose 40 Pounds In 3.5 Months How Many Calories Should I Burn A Day

What is the best way to lose 40 pounds in 4 months?

Small and consistent changes are much more effective in so many ways, and 40 lbs in 4 months will usually be an unhealthy process, very rarely worth the cost (outside of severely overweight individuals).That said, the best way I’ve seen for aggressive weight loss is Lyle McDonald’s protein sparing modified fast. I’ve occasionally used it with clients for short periods of time when the benefits to dropping body-weight outweighed the negative consequences of doing it so fast. There’s no getting around the fact that crash dieting always has a cost. You need to make an educated decision as to if the cost is worth it- and it really rarely is.In short, the diet is nothing but lean protein and low calorie vegetables, so you end up with a big caloric deficit while attempting to minimize as many of the negative effects you usually run into with that. If you’re going to attempt it, it’s best to invest in reading the eBook he has on it and fully understanding it. Here’s the link to it at BodyrecompositionFor comparison, an optimal diet program set up for sustainable fat loss would have you losing about 1% of your body-weight per week. So that’s about 2 pounds per week for a 200 pound individual, and 32 pounds in 4 months. Depending on your current body-weight, a program like that could deliver close to the same results and be much more sustainable in the long run. Here’s a link to a free program that will set you up for that.I hope this helps!-Jonathan

Could you lose 40 pounds in a month by strictly water fasting?

You can certainly lose 40 or more pounds in one month. Some people have the capacity to live weeks or a month without food. Your body will start to break down the glycogen, protein then fats over time. You will have to drink water since the maximum days without water is ~3 days.However! I highly do not recommend fasting on water only for a month. The reasons are you can cause significant harm to your body that can take months to repair. Moreover, your health may deteriorate by the end of the month making you more vulnerable to diseases, health issues, psychological effects, gain the weight back, etc. As I mentioned if you fast for a significant amount of time and you consume food after fasting. Your body would have been in a starvation mode and when you eat food your body will react by storing the food you ate into fat. Why fat? Fat provides high amounts of energy making it efficient for the body to survive. Therefore, fasting for the month you will most likely gain the weight back and plus more because you had your body in a starvation mode. Basically, during starvation mode, your body does not know when you will get food again and turns the food you eat into fat.If you want to lose weight in a healthy way it will take months. At least ~10 pounds a month would be healthy without having too many consequences. Daily workouts, eating healthy, staying motivated to lose weight, find a friend or group to work together to lose weight, learn more about diets/nutrition books will ultimately help you lose weight wisely.
