Fast Weight Loss

The thing with quick weight loss is that it is not sustainable over a long period of time; it takes a huge effort in diet and exercise to lose weight quickly. Whereas losing weight slowly is easy to maintain as it doesn’t require sudden drastic changes in your diet.

A slow and steady way is advised because it is not only easy to maintain but the effects are also long term. Usually losing one to two pounds a week is recommended as this pace helps you to maintain your weight loss steady. Remember that losing one pound of fat equals to burning 3500 calories so every day you will need to lose 500 calories more than what you eat in order to lose one pound a week (500*7 = 3500). Now if you want to lose weight quickly you will have to lose more than this so you might not just be losing weight. In your efforts to lose weight quickly you might be losing water and/or lean tissue as losing a huge amount of calorie in a short time is not possible. So losing weight quickly may have serious side effects on your health.

But there are certain cases in which quick weight loss is advised especially for obese people. Doctors prescribe a very low calorie diet so that losing weight quickly doesn’t affect the body. There are certain types of diets which initially helps you to quickly lose weight without causing any damage to the body, after a certain period returning back to a normal weight loss is recommended.
