QuestionI basically just started to eat just fruits and vegetables and whole wheat bread lately. My goal is to lose 80 lbs. And for my work out I dance all the time to Michael Jackson. I duplicate his dance moves and routines. So that always is a good workout. Sometimes I duplicate full concerts. And I read that he lost like 7 lbs. a night from all the dancing he did. Because he was a strict vegetarian.
Plus I drink Clear American Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water Beverage drink. It is caffeine free, zero calories, and sodium free. It has nothing in it nutrition wise. But the ingredients include: Carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavor, potassium citrate, aspartame, potassium benzoate(a preservative), and acesulfame potassium.
Now would that have a negative affect on my diet by drinking this beverage?
And what do you think about my diet and exercise routine? Will I reach my goal of losing 80 lbs.? And how long will it take for me to lose this weight?
AnswerHi Kurt,
I think it's very cool that you can duplicate the full concert of MJ. I like to dance & maybe can dance to one song but there's no way I can do a full concert!
You will definetely lose weight with that diet and exercise. 1 lbs is equal to 3500 calories, so if you create a deficit of 1500 calories every day, you will lose 3 lbs/week or about 12-15 lbs/month or reach your goal in less than 6 months.
The beverage is okay since it contains 0 calories, however, it contains some acid which might make you feel hungry. It's not a big problem but I'd suggest you to drink warm green tea to speed up your metabolism.
