I am desperate!! I want to lose 10 kilograms but I don’t know how! I am 15 years old and I go to school every day and I can’t eat fruit or vegetables for breakfast because I’m in school than. Please will you tell me how to lose 10 kilograms in 2 months for example or more? I don’t care for time just to make it before summer comes. Eva. [via Ask Questions]

In order for you to lose 10 kilograms or 22 pounds in 2 months, you need to lose weight at the rate of 1.25 kilograms or 2.7 pounds a week for 8 consecutive weeks, which is doable but challenging; most people tend to lose weight at the rate of about 0.9 kilograms or 2 pounds a week.

The good news is that you are not in a hurry, so you have plenty of time to lose 10 kilograms before summer.

How do you lose 10 kilograms? First of all, you do not need to eat fruits and vegetables in the morning to lose weight. What you need to do – actually, what you have to do to lose 10 kilograms or any amount of weight for that matter – is to find a way to eat a balanced diet.

I understand that your time is limited, but it does not take a lot of time to eat healthy. Eat at least three times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are hungry between the meals, eat a healthy snack.

While it is important to be aware of how many calories you consume every day, it is even more important to figure out how you have gained 10 kilograms in the first place. I do not know your personal situation, but most people gain extra weight when they regularly consume foods that are high in sugar and fat.

In other words, do not eat fast food, sugary snacks, and things of that nature. Do you drink soda? Drink water or tea instead. Do eat protein (any kind you want), vegetables, whole grains, and fruits.

Instead of giving you a long list of foods that you should be eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I want you to figure out what you should not be eating. Eliminate those foods from your daily menu and you should not have any problem losing 10 kilograms before summer starts.
