hun, trust me when I say this, it will DEFINENTLY help! I work out like that and eat a balanced meal all the time and it's helped me lose weight and be VERY healthy.
To lose weight, you need to eat a balanced meal and eat lots of protein and veggies, and you also need to stay fit and excercise a lot, so you will definently lose weight.
Just remember, you have to be able to keep up with this though, and do this every day.
I don't know exactly how long this will take to lose weight, but I'm pretty sure that it will take less than five months to lose a lot.

Ok first of all congrats on starting to set up your diet and exercise routine. Its a good start, although I have a few suggestions to improve it. Let me start with the exercises:
- First of all there is no need to train abs three times a day. There is no benefit to this at all (remember fat cannot be spot reduced). Training abs say two or three times per week is plenty. Keep in mind that overtraining a muscle, and not giving it the time it needs to recuperate will have adverse effects.
- Great effort with the cardio. Just remember to take a rest day, say once a week or so. Listen to your body and if you feel stressed decrease the work load.
The diet:
First of all, you need to see what you should eat for lunch and dinner. Its a great step that you cut out soda and junk, that will go a long way.
Remember that if you are going to push your body you need to feed it right. You need a good solid 4- 5 meals every day, particularly since you are interested in losing fat not muscle (which will occur if you eat too little). It is also better for your metabolism, and it will give you more energy as well.
When you compose your meal, base it around a good lean protein source, like skinless chicken/ turkey, tuna, lean beef, low fat cottage cheese etc. Then add a moderate amount of carbs (say a potato, or 50g whole wheat pasta, or 75g of rice, or some fruit etc). Oh and remember veggies as well of course. Lastly you need a small amount of good fat every day (from good oils, unsalted nuts, oily fish etc).
You can use this very basic formula for all your meals except perhaps breakfast, and its very hard to go wrong.
Your specific questions:
1- yes you will lose weight with what you posted up there, depending of course that you eat sensibly for lunch and dinner. If you improve the diet though there will be less muscle loss and you will have a healthier body.
2- yes it will show results... same answer as above really
3- Your target weight loss should be max 2 pounds a week. It is not healthy to do more. With a good diet you can lose that much in a healthy way. How long it takes depends on how much you want to lose.

ok that is defintily not too much food, ignore what the other person said. you will burn that food very quickly when you excercise.
this does seem like a very good plan. also please do not completely eliminate fat from you diet. i know it seems like the enecmy when you are trying to lose weight, but fat is sooo important. you could have a central nervous system break down if you dont eat fat.
now i'm not saying to live on butter, but just know that its ok to eat fat once in a while.
ps. i think that the diet isnt very necessary, you will lose weight by just excersising, but the diet will speed up the process.
anyways good luck!!! let me know how you do ok?

Wayyyy too much food for you to lose weight.

hey
a few things. it depends on how quickly you burn fat, how much you currently weigh (your height, bmi) and how much you want to lose.
this looks pretty good, but just remember you need food from all parts of the food pyramid. so there's no such thing as "not eating something". just have it in moderation.
if you only want to lose a few pounds, then that will work great in a couple weeks (depending on how quickly you burn fat, etc.)
if you want to loose a significant amount of weight, it will take a lot of determination and no "goofing off." i'd say something like two "fatty" foods a week. like maybe you want a couple cookies, or a soda. those each count as one. that way, youre not depriving yourself from what you want, and you can loose weight. it also puts you in a mental state so that youre not thinking "i'm on a diet. i can't eat." cause that makes you want to eat fatty foods even more!
