I’m 155 and 5’11. I have a belly and really want to get rid of it before school starts. I’ve been eating two health meals per day. One is a Special K bowl (110 calories) the other a weight watchers (about 350 calories). I also run 4 miles per day, and do 300 sit ups per day. Is this enough to lose 15 pounds before September 4?
It’s possible, but it’s not healthy at all. You are not eating enough food, and when you don’t eat enough food, you don’t just lose fat, you lose muscle. Your body starts eating away at the muscle and fat around your heart, organs, and brain. Living on a starvation diet is not worth it. You should have three balanced meals a day with snacks if you need them. You can do this and still lose weight, you just have to keep your calorie intake at an amount that will help you lose weight (I don’t know how old you are, so use an online calculator…but if you’re a teenager, keep in mind that you should eat more than what that calculator tells you because you are still growing). It is only healthy to lose 1-2 lbs a week, so it would be unwise to lose 15 in a month. Aim for 4-8 lbs.

you shouldnt eat just 2 meals per day. you need to boost your metabolism, you should be eating 5 small meals per day. and you should keep it natural. cereals like special k are low in calories, but unhealthy. also eat lots of fruit and veggies eg. when filling your dinner plate you should fill half of it with veggies then the other half with your other food groups.

I don’t know if you’re going to lose it that fast. All the working out you’re doing is going to build muscle, so I doubt it. Also, if you cut calories dramatically, you’ll actually slow your metabolism down.
Usually, the fastest way to lose weight is to cut carbs. However, it is easy to gain the weight back if you add a lot of carbs back in.

Sure you can lose 15 pounds in one month but it will be mostly muscle and water. Not body fat.
