Is it possible for a human to healthily lose 17 lbs in 5 days?
I woke up on Monday and weighed myself (for the first time in ages)
I weighed 329 lbs and I though "Fuck me!"
I decided straight away to go on a diet. I have counted how many calories I eat all week and the totals are this:
Date Calories
2009-06-29 1,371
2009-06-30 1,662
2009-07-01 1,623
2009-07-02 855
2009-07-03 1,764
Ive been drinking water as normal - at least 4 pints a day.
Ive been making an effort to stop off at the gym on the way to work to have a quick 20 min on the x-trainer - but I havent done any extra or intense exercise. I play five a side football once a week, but I play in goal so it isnt much exercise.
I weighed myself twice on Monday and came to the same weight (so I dont think it was a false result)
After a week of being careful I weighed myself today and I weigh 312 lbs.
Obviouly thats still very fat, but how can I have lost 17 lbs in 5 days? I dont feel noticably smaller. I weighed myself both in the morning and evening on Monday and came up with the same weight. Ive tried standing in front of the mirror at the gym and looking at my gut, but it doesnt seem a stone smaller...
