Can it be done?

Surely not?

What if you only ate water?

Surgery?

Realistically for it to be healthy at best you'd be looking at 1 stone in six weeks, although it will likely depend on how overwieght you are to begin with. I'm looking at losing around the same amount of weight but I expect it to take 12-18 weeks.

If your starting weight was 20 stone, maybe

If your starting weight was 12 stone, then not without amputation ๐Ÿ™‚

Undiagnosed tonsilitus caused me to lose two stone in about a week.
I think the terrifying hallucinations came in about day 5, with near death on day 7.
I wouldn't recommend it. ๐Ÿ™

Wouldn't recommend it, at that rate you would be losing muscle mass and doing damage for sure.

A contestant on 'The Chase' last week claimed he had lost 5 stones in 10 weeks on a diet where you are not allowed to exercise.

A set of scales and a mirror is a good place to start.

It probably [i]can[/i] be done. However, I'd suggest it's probably not a good idea. 2lb/wk is a bit more realistic.

Smash the mirror with the scales, and use shard to cut off leg. Got it.

Someone hold my beer, I'll be right back...

I've lost a stone over 4 weeks (5"10'/14 stone/36" waist walking doughnut) without superhuman motivation/willpower/discipline etc. The best advice I would give is this: do not treat weight loss as a short-term goal. Think about it as a long-term change in your life as you will be able to maintain and build upon it.

Specifics don't matter too much, pick a diet which doesn't involve eating rats or giving up everything you love for a stick of kale, then pick a physical activity you don't hate, make a decision to stick with it for at least two months and observe the results. As far as exercise is concerned I've found the best setting for me was going to classes, far easier having someone shout at you than trying to be your own drill sergeant. Hope this helps.

I am 5 10 and went from 76.6 Kg to 68.7 Kg in 5 weeks. Was surprisingly easy just by going lower carb/higher fat and staying away from processed food. I think " stone in 6 weeks sounds a bit much though

My wife lost a stone in January: Slimming World with pretty much zero 'syns' each day. She said it was dead easy.

We were looking at what I ate on Saturday and I ate/drank more than 100 'syns' ๐Ÿ™‚

Apologies if this is too personal a question, but why the need to go from 76 to 68 at your height? Isn't 68kg bordering on underweight?

I'm about 5' 9" and look a bit scrawny at anything under 70kg, although admittedly that's the weight I tend to sit at when i'm pretty fit.

I'm half an inch taller, and only about 68kg. My BMI is 21.3; if I was 80kg I'd be overweight.

Aye, I suppose everyone is different and a chart doesn't tell you much, I was looking at it too simplistically.

Last year, I weighed about 74kg, but my bodyfat was 12% (lowest it's ever been). When I eased up on the fitness front, my weight [i]dropped[/i] to 70kg and my BF went up to about 17%.

I recommend the Peanut M&M's diet. A family pack every 4hours should do it.
By the second day you will be so sick of them it'll put you off eating for 2 months.

Why is it a daft question? I've just not come across a scenario where someone (well ok, a man) has undertaken a weight loss diet to get down to a weight bordering on underweight. There was no malice intended, was just curious as to the reason (e.g racing weight, aesthetics etc)

Should add that I'm a fat git, so shedding pounds is probably easier! 1 stone down, 4.5 to go! :mrgreen:

I would say so, I can fairly easily lose a stone over the course of seven days by doing a seven day juice diet. Check out www.juicemaster.com it worked for me and as long as you keep eating healthy after it the weight stays off.

Really? Brad Wiggins is taller than me, but lighter. He diets specifically to get his weight down.

Boom! Stealth edit! ๐Ÿ™‚

I could put on 2 stone of fat and not be overweight, but I'd rather not.

Full blown salmonella did it for me. Agony for about 5 days, unconscious for 2wks with lots of other people dying in various parts of the country that year '79 or '80? Went from a scrawny 11st to 8!!!! Could only manage to keep liquids down in the following 3-4wks, yrs before my system got back to normal.

Currently at my heaviest ever @ 15st ๐Ÿ™„ put on 1/2st last year and struggling to shift it...

. This is what I need to do but on a night shift it is a struggle ๐Ÿ™„

2 stone = 44,000 calories.

If you need 2000 a day and ate nothing, you'd loose that in about three weeks.

So, restrict yourself to 1000 calories a day and go at it for the 6 weeks, you could pull it off but I bet you'll look crap.

The commonly held figure is 1lb fat = 3500 calories. So 98,000 for two stone. However, I think you also lose fluid mass, muscle etc on a rapid diet so if prob isn't that accruate. But a lot more than the estimate above.

Also, 2000 calories would be low for someone of the size of OP.

On how too lose weight quickly, sorry can't offer any advice

It was night shifts which also helped tbh. Never again, i've got the body of an Ethiopian child.
