Lose 40 Pounds in 3 Months
Is it possible to lose 40 pounds in 3 months? I’m working out for an hour everyday and on a crash diet [cottage cheese diet] and drinking lots of water. I’m kinda in a hurry for a special occasion, and I hope I can make it. Maiquel. [via Ask Questions]
No, it is not possible to lose 40 pounds in 3 months. Wait, let me rephrase that, it might be possible to lose 40 pounds in 3 months, but I do not think it is a good idea to attempt losing so much weight in a relatively short time.
Your goal should be to lose 2 pounds a week, which means that you can expect to lose 8 pounds a month or 24 pounds in 3 months. The goal of losing 40 pounds in 3 months is too aggressive and probably not sustainable for an average person.
Now, what is the deal with crash dieting on a cottage cheese diet? I hope you realize that the so-called cottage cheese diet is an untenable diet. There is nothing wrong with including cottage cheese in your diet, in fact, I would recommend eating cottage cheese regularly because it contains casein protein and calcium, but it should not be the main component of any diet.
