BQ: How old are you guys?
I'm 15 and a sophomore.
Well I'm sorta tan considering I'm white. I'm 1/8 Cuban, 1/2 English (UK), and um I dunno whatever else haha. My dad is from England so yeah. I have dark brown eyes and I have my hair dyed light blonde with platinum highlights. :)
Oh Pureology is great. ALL of their products are fortified with protein, whereas Redken's products aren't.
Yes, I am a sophomore. You are a junior, and the seniors are older than you. And once you are a senior, the freshmen in college will be older than you. And so on.

How much weight will I lose in 2 months if.....?
Q. For the past week I have been on a diet.
I have been exercising and eating healthily.
I have been going on the striding machine an hour a day apart from sundays. In school I get 3 hours of PE a week and I walk a mile to school and back home. How much weight do you think I could lose if I carry this on?
People, I don't want links to diet plans or telling me to try pills. I just simply want to know a brief outline of what I will lose...

Answer
I think you should cut out cardio and replace it with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and body weight or kettlebell exercises. The walking is fine, but the cardio will basically have this effect: you'll lose a few pounds, maybe 5-6, then plateau, then start gaining weight back slowly. HIIT has the benefit of requiring a few minutes a day or 2-3 sessions of maybe 20 minutes a week and giving max fat loss results. Don't fret about building muscle and looking manish or anything ridiculous... Women find it incredibly difficult to obtain that look even if they're on hormones and spending 4-6 hours at the gym each day.
Cardio, especially the type you're doing, is detrimental to fat loss, and you really need to think of it as fat loss because what most people experience with weight loss via cardio is muscle loss in the range of 80% of total weight loss. You DON'T want that, it'll reduce your metabolism and on top of that, you'll create a higher body fat set point, which essentially makes it progressively more difficult for you to lose weight because your body really, really likes maintaining as much fat as possible.
Here is the basic formula for my clients who want really rapid weight loss:
Check your BMR, eat about 500-800 calories fewer than that number (you can find calculators online)
No grains - brown or white - they inhibit weight loss and spike insulin (fat storage hormone). No sugar, obviously, keep fruit to a minimum (1-2 pieces a day, only in the morning).
Try for 90-120g of very lean protein each day at least, add healthy fats and green veg on top, eat 1 serving of starch in the morning or afternoon meal. Healthy fats are: Grass fed butter or tallow; coconut oil; macadamia nut oil. Don't touch the vegetable oils. Olive oil is fine, but NEVER cook with it and be sparing.
Don't eat 5 times a day, that will just keep your blood sugar elevated which in turn keeps insulin elevated, eat 2-3 times a day; try twice a week skipping either breakfast or dinner.
Take up a Tabata-style exercise routine: pick 5 body weight exercises (pushups, situps, squats, lunges, etc.) and follow the 20 second high intensity, 10 second rest formula for 8 reps. There are timers online (search Tabata timer) to help track. In those 20 seconds push yourself as hard as possible, then either lie down for 10 seconds or stand still to bring your heart rate down before starting up again. It's 4 minutes of hell, but it's preferable to 60 minutes of mind numbing monotony. And I swear to you, you'll burn 30-60% more fat in those 4 minutes vs those 60, it's been studied extensively.
Follow that exactly, and I can guarantee between 3-6% body weight lost per week. So if you're 200 that's between 6-12 pounds, at 150 it's 4.5-9 pounds, at 130 it's 3.9-7.8, at 120 it's 3.6-7.2.
