How can I lose 1 and a half stone in 8 week's ?

Answer:
a recent paper from University of California. They did a meta-analysis of all the work on weight loss over the past few years. ( summary) It showed that 2/3 of people who diet yo-yo to a higher weight, none of the faddy diets of diet pills work and that rapid weight loss doubles heart attack risk!They seemed to suggest the only hope was modest calorie reduction + EXERCISE.This is a news report of the article:
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/health/...I have to admit I have a 'stock' answer for this question, since if you look it appears 20-30 times every day!Type 'guaranteed weight loss' into google, you will find 1 1/2 million sites!Look around you if ANY of these things worked would we be getting so overweight?We are what we eat, but we are at least as much what we don't do. Calorie intakes in 1900 and 1950 were higher than they are now, we just don't use them up!Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg.Take a healthy amount of exercise 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?I have seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super diet or herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch!No fixes pal , less in more out, its the only way.

400 kcal a day diet.But at the end of 8 weeks you'll be too weak and fried in the head to attend whatever bash you're slimming for. Also when you eat normally again you'll gain around 2 and half stone as you're body will be in 'famine' mode.Go down to 1400 kcal, do some excerise and spend sometime looking for a great outfit that will flatter you. x

You should aim for 2 lb a week to be safe. You're not a machine, you're a human and it takes time to readjust your body. If you want to starve yourself go ahead but it won't work and you'll only end up ill.

By exercising 4 times a week and eating healthy, lots of salads , fruit , veg , lean meat , fish etc

Chop off one of your legs, If you play football chop off the one you dont use as much and learn to header the ball with more skill.
