Diet Plan for Fast Weight Loss to
Lose Weight Fast
There's no such thing as fast weight loss or to lose weight fast. The human body is far
too concerned about survival to allow us to lose weight fast. So as soon as we reduce our calorie intake, it starts to
slow down in order to conserve energy, making it impossible to lose weight fast.
To put it another way: fast weight loss is nearly always followed by fast weight gain.
Loose Skin & Fast Weight Loss
Too fast weight loss can leave you with loose skin, which may
require surgery to remove it. So don't be tempted to lose weight fast.
There is no Standard Speed of Fast Weight Loss
Fast Weight loss is affected by a range of factors, including:
- Our present weight
- Our state of health
- Our degree of activity
- Our calorie-intake in our diet plan
- Our age
- Our gender
- Our general lifestyle
- Our stress levels
- Change of routine
Optimum Speed of Fast Weight Loss
As a general guide, here are the optimum average rates of fast weight loss:
- If you are about 220 pounds, or more, you can lose up to 4 pounds a week in your diet plan.
- If you are about 180 pounds, or more, you can lose up to 3 pounds a week in your diet plan.
- If you are about 150 pounds, or more, you can lose up to 2½ pounds a week in your diet plan.
- If you're under 150 pounds, you can lose up to 1-1½ pounds a week in your diet plan.
The Fast Weight Loss Plateau Effect
After a few weeks of fast weight loss on your diet plan, you may experience a weight loss plateau effect.
You are eating no more than usual but you stop to lose weight fast. Why?
Because your body has slowed down and is making calories go further and you cease to lose weight fast.
Solution?
Either wait until your body gradually adjusts, or reduce your
calorie intake further in your diet plan, or (best) take weight loss exercise. Weight loss exercise helps to
boost your body's calorie requirement and minimize the plateau effect.
