how long does it take to lose 70 pounds on a regular diet?
Question:
Answers:
I lost 70 pounds in about just over a year to 70 weeks. First month, I lost 2 pounds a week, then about 1.5 pounds and then I it was about a pound a week for the longest time. As I neared my goal, it was 0.5 pounds a week and I really had to work to loose that. But, I've kept it off now for over seven years.
I recommend abount a pound a week for safe and long term weight loss.

About a year. You don't want to lose it to fast because you will be more likely to put it back on. Counting Calories is a good way to do it. This is great site to help you count calories.

The most actual fat you can lose in a week is two pounds. So on a reasonable diet, assuming you don't relapse too much, you can lose it all in 39 weeks. That's a very ideal number though because you may reach plateaus for weeks in which you lose very little, but if you stick to it for 35 weeks you'll have lasting weight loss. It really varies by person, but anywhere from 35 to 70 pounds is a good estimate.
Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 10.5 pounds and 17 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing toxins from your body. You get toxins from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The toxins get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the toxins. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
