  Do the math.

  Here's how it works; there are 3,500 calories in a pound, so if you are trying to lose 10 pounds, you will need to cut out a total of 35,000 calories. If you are trying to lose 10 pounds quick, divide that number by the days in a month (35,000/30) and you will have the number of calories that you need to burn or cut out of your diet.

  Here's the equation:
  35,000/30=1,166 calories/day for 1 month would help you to lose 10 pounds fast.

  Burn 600 extra calories a day.

  In order to lose 10 pounds in a month, you will need to burn an extra 600 calories each day. This is not as hard as it sounds and can be done in as little as 1 hour (or around an hour and a half). It takes work but if you really want to lose weight fast, it must be done! If you can do this, you are halfway to your weight loss goal; now for the other half of the equation.

  Eat 600 fewer calories a day.

  Cut back your caloric intake by roughly 600 calories a day to lose weight fast. Never eat fewer than 1200 calories a day and talk to your doctor before starting any kinds of weight loss program. Your doctor can also give you a healthy amount of calories to consume for your age, weight, activity level, etc.

  Keep the calorie deficit going all month.
