No you didn ' t . You beat harder . Admit it . <| sep |> Ok first of all , 0 . 51 kg per week is a reasonable amount of weight loss . Anything more than that is too fast , so 35 kg per month is definitely too much . second of all , carbs are not the enemy . Calories are the enemy . things like whole wheat bread are still very high calorie , and has the same amount of carbs as white bread . Also , pate has basically no carbs . thirdly , one day is not enough time to see any progress . water weight can easily fluctuate by a kilo or so from day to day , so it can overshadow any real progress . Calculate their sedentary TDEEs . Have them aim for 500 calories less than that . Set them up with my fitness pal . Buy them a food scale .
