EntriesWhen you need to lose weight, you want to know the fastest way possible to shed those pounds. Since people are looking for quick ways to lose weight and fad and/or crash diets promise results that are really “too good to be true” and are very popular. From every aspect, though, these types of diets should be completely avoided as they are generally not healthy nor are they a permanent way to lose weight.
Now, it is possible to lose up to 20 pounds within a given week – and it is healthy if you do it the right way, according to the medical doctor, Michael Dansinger, for TV’s big hit television show The Biggest Loser. By taking part in very rigorous exercise activities (meaning over seven hours per week) and a very strict dieting plan while under the direct care of a medical physician, you can actually lose a large amount of weight in a short amount of time. However, most people cannot do this because that would mean giving up everything in life for several weeks to go to a weight loss boot camp so to speak.
With that being said, though, it is possible for an individual to lose around three pounds per week healthily and safely with a well balanced, nutritious diet and plenty of regular exercise.
Some Tips to Maintain Safe Weight Loss at Home
When it comes to losing weight, you need to control how many calories you are consuming on a daily basis. Some doctors recommend that you eat 7 calories for each pound of weight. Therefore, if you weigh 200 pounds, you would consume around 1,400 calories on a daily basis. You should never consume less than 1,050 calories per day; however, many doctors will typically recommend 1,200 calories as a daily minimum.
You will want to make sure that you drink plenty of water each day while consuming a decent amount of protein as well as fiber. Fiber will help you fill up faster as will water if drank before your meal. In addition to fiber and water helping you fill up, low-cal veggies will do the same.
You should also never skip any meals. In addition, many doctors recommend that you eat several meals throughout the day (such as five or six) rather than eating three larger meals. This will help you fuel your body all day while also avoiding the possibility of overeating at mealtime.
If you are wanting to lose weight pretty quickly then your exercise time will definitely need to be kicked up a notch or two. You can’t simply exercise twenty minutes a day and expect to see serious, rapid weight loss results. You will burn the most amount of calories through cardio exercises but it is also vital that you take part in strength training no less than three times a week.
In conclusion, though, to be completely honest, there is no 100% correct answer to how fast you can lose weight since there is no true science to how to do it or the speed of weight reduction and since every individual is different and will eat/exercise differently. However, by following a healthy diet, practicing proper portion control and exercising regularly, you will have maximum weight loss potential.
