Lose Weight Loss

My take on low cal diets - Best Fitness Site in the world- free ebooks, articles, workouts, advertising!

I believe that calories are the first thing people take into action when they begin their fitness plans. Many people think that "starving" themselves is the best way to lose weight.

Flaws with low calorie diets

I think what people don’t realize is that doing this puts your body into what is called starvation mode where your metabolism slows enormously. Your body holds on to whatever food you intake. Low calorie diets also lead to binge eating. After l 00004000 ong term use of such a diet, your body loses only water and muscle, but very little fat. It is also extremely difficult to workout. I remember plenty of times when exercise felt impossible because I was too low on food. But on the other side, even more times when I felt slugish from eating too much.
I believe that you should eat enough that you don’t feel slugish when you work, but that the meals are fitting to your diet. Never fast or processed food!

Which diet is the best?

There is none. You see ads everywhere for the best diets and wonder, which one is the RIGHT one? The reality is, for the most part, they all have an element of truth. Find one and stick to it. It all depends on your body type. I will say this though. If you are a runner or extreme "cardioholic", lay off the low carb. Good carbs in pastas and breads are a solid base of energy that lasts a long time. If you are a lifter, obviously, you need protein. Lay off low cal or vegan type diets. Read lower too see what some experts say about calorie counting.
Are there any positive results to a low calorie diet?

I suppose. I have seen it work, but results are very short term and usually comes back to bite you in the butt when you can’t maintain it. At the same time, the diet does produce fast results, but at the end of the day it's always better to be smart. Eat Smart. Workout. The only true way to lose weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What diet pills or tea are the best to lose weight loss?
    I weight 178 pounds I need to lose 50 pounds.

    • ANSWER:
      No pills or tea will make you lose weight. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

      Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

      Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

      Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

      In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

      Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

      Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

      Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

      Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

      Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.

      An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

      Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

  2. QUESTION:
    How to lose weight with herbal weight loss?
    I need to lose at least 40 pounds so I can have a slim and lean sexy body. I also lack the energy level I used to have when I was lighter. I tried some diets and exercise, but without lasting effects. So, how can I lose that weight naturally and with herbs without compromising my nutritional health in the process? Please give an advice of some good solution/method on the internet on herbal weight loss that will work.

    • ANSWER:
      Hello,

      The reason all the other diets, diet foods, organic foods, healthy foods, medicines and all the rest don't work in this modern technologically-amazing age is because they were deliberately designed not to!

      I dont want to repeat myself constantly, or go on another rant of how messed up our world is - but it is a shame and people need to WAKE UP and realise what is going on. The diet industry makes billions out of insecure people and they want to keep it that way.

      Every year we are sold diet products that do not work. I hope people reading this really think about what I am saying here, just do a simple youtube search and find out for yourself.

      I have researched these facts, facts that they dont want you to know but I have gone on long enough now. To learn more the link below will explain further and help you escape the matrix.

    I don't really eat junk food anymore, i eat healthy food but i eat chocolate a little :(
    I am 13, and i weigh 73 kg and i am 155 cm tall

    • ANSWER:
      Diets don't work. Eating right does. Don't eat all that junk food and Mc. Donald's and Taco Bell, and stuff. Start running but don't overexert yourself trying to lose it quick, it will take time but you will notice that you are gradually getting results. Go to the gym, running on the treadmill and doing the bicycle, although running outside will give you better results than a treadmill. Do it with a partner, find someone that will help you out because doing it on your own isn't always fun and it gives you a better attitude. Stay motivated, don't give up on your goal to achieving weight loss and don't cheat yourself, also stay positive and I hope everything works out for you... Good Luck

      And I got sick of people telling me that your perfect the way you are shit. Seruisly...if I feel like crap about myself then no I'm not perfect!
      I suggest what I did!
      Start making your own meals. Baked chicken and steamed fish are easy and not messy to make. Also trow some veggies in a pan with 2 cups of water and boil them then just let me brown up in the pan a bit and you can also add a little lemon juice or pepper to eat!
      Try to maybe eat 2 times a day. Around 10am and 5pm.
      Stick to fruits for stacks! Veggies get boring!
      And have some fruit yogurt around too.
      Dried cranberries are Awsome too.
      Walk about an hour a day.
      It's been about 1 month for me and I dropped 5 pounds. It takes a while but it's healthy and long term!
      Good luck Hun!

  20. QUESTION:
    should weight loss be covered under medical for people who need to lose 100lbs or more?
    My friend who works for a company that you don't need to be fit for told me that her boss has gotten the health care company they go threw to include weight loss as a medical problem that they will cover for people who need to lose 100lbs or more, i know from personal experience that many people cant afford to lose weight because all the programs are very expensive and don't always work. do you think it should be covered?

    • ANSWER:
      Weight loss should be covered under medical if the cause of the excess weight is a medical issue. Most overweight is not caused by a medical condition. It is caused by eating too much food, refusal to eat less and exercise more. Eating less food costs less money.

  21. QUESTION:
    How much water do you have to drink to lose weight? weight loss tips plz!?
    Hi I'm trying to lose 20-30 pounds and I here water will help lose weight....is this true? How much water should I drink and what will it do? Also, will drinking 3 cups of milk a day help? What are some other ways to lose weight? PLZ HELP!

    • ANSWER:
      Water will fill you up, but just like anything else, without exercise you won't be seeing much results. You know what I'm doing to loose my gut? I'm just lifting weights (burning calories) but while doing so, eating healthy. Like, eat a salad before a main course or something, because of the fiber in it you'll feel alot more full. That's the key to loosing weight though, just eat as healthy as you can and get plenty of exercise. But, never skip any meals, like breakfest. If you only eat one meal a day and just skip everything else, your body will store the fat for energy so it will be harder. Just eat healthy, that's my only advice. Along with exercise, and you should be good. As for the three cups of milk thing, I never heard of it. Hope this helps.

  22. QUESTION:
    Do weight-loss supplements make you lose fat all over your body? How does it work exactly?
    I want to lose weight without losing certain aspects of my body, such as my breasts and behind. I just want to lose the stubborn belly fat. I regularly exercise and eat right. Which diet supplements would fulfill this?
    oh, and I don't want to lose mass amounts of weight. I'm only looking to lose 10 pounds. I know if you lose like, 25+ then your breasts would shrink. I'm wondering about smaller-scale weight loss

    • ANSWER:
      You can't control where you lose the weight, naturally women and will lose weight from the breast no matter what same with their butt bc thats where most of their fat is at. Also diet supplements dont work you need to just work out hard and eat right. Burn more than you eat

  23. QUESTION:
    What is a good online weight loss program that will help me lose weight fast?
    I am 13 and 155 pounds. I need to know a good online weight loss program that will help me lose thirty pounds before September. If you have any more questions just email me at fifa_samer96@yahoo.com

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

    How does weight loss work? To lose weight, we must lose matter, but what is lost and how?
    Suppose a plump man is alone in a cave with no food for a week. Nothing leaves his body since nothing is entering it. He does not perspire because the cave is cool. At the end of the week, he has lost most of his body fats. How did those fats disappear? Do they somehow evaporate? Thank you for answering this. It has been a subject of curiosity for me for years.

    • ANSWER:
      his body is metabolizing his fat stores for energy in place of food intake. Microscopic cellular reactions are occurring that break this fat down into compounds that can be used for energy that is used to do millions of things. keep your muscles contracting, generate body heat, all the other functions of the body. You do not lose the fat technically, the compounds cannot just disappear. They are being converted into other compounds, the reactions involved generate heat and energy.

  27. QUESTION:
    Dieting Tips or a Healthy Weight Loss Plan to Lose 10 pounds?
    I am trying to lose 10 pounds and create a healthier lifestyle for myself and so I was wondering if anyone had an healthy tips that worked for them. FYI, I am not obese or even overweight, I am a college athlete and I want to lose weight and up my game to help improve my performance, not to mention look better so please no answers that just say get up off my butt, I already do that.

    • ANSWER:
      I recently discovered a web site (http://the-diet-solutions-program.org) that offers a free on-line video about a superb weight loss program. The video provides lots of informative content about how to lose 10% of unwanted fat in 30 days. The video made so much sense to me that I bought the book that the video is based upon.

      The "The Diet Solution Program" weight loss program described in the web site video appeals to me because it does not involve starvation. I can still enjoy foods, I just need to choose which ones are fat-burning and which ones prevent fat-burning. The video on the web site goes over these foods. The book is a wealth of information about these foods.

      The other reason I like this program is because it describes a diet that can easily be adopted into a lifestyle. Since it teaches how to lose weight by eating the right healthy foods, the fat is burned off naturally and stays off forever.

      I was surprised about some of the foods that I was eating that I thought were healthy but were really working against me. The video and the book were real eye-openers and have changed me for the better.

  28. QUESTION:
    I am trying to lose weight, and want to know if there are any web sites that will help track my weight loss?
    Hey! I am 15 and weigh close to or at 190 pounds, and its too much! I am 5'7...I should weight 145-155 and I am looking/hopeing to lose 35 pounds or more if possible...-Not gonna push for more then 35 though- Anyways, I wanted to know if there are any webs sites were I can put in my weight and it, like, keeps track of my weight loss? Is there such a thing and where can I find it?

    • ANSWER:
      i use fitday.com. you can record everything you eat for each day and it figures the calorie amounts for you! and even better: you can track your weight loss by plugging in your current weight and your goal weight, and see your progress. I like the fact that it will also figure your carbs and fats as well as calories, in case you're watching those also. good luck!

  29. QUESTION:
    What is the easiest way to lose weight without doing the weight loss systems??
    I am a mother of two and I am having a really hard time trying to lose weight. I have tried everything and spent the $$$$ to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do??
    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Diet and exercise. I have also spent so much money on pills, doctors, colon cleansing, lymphnode drainage. Not because I am so over weight but because I hit a plateau. See a nutritionist, once. Tell them you want a healthy eating plan that is easy to maintain. Make sure the foods work together so you don't have to buy such a variety of groceries. Also make sure you want just a plan so they don't suck your cash up. I never enjoyed exercise videos but abs of steel is so amazing. I used it at my thinnest times. Your kids can play in the living room while you are on your back or standing and each exercise is only fifteen minutes. If you have time or preferrably, a local gym with child care, get there and get to running. Cardio is a major key.

  30. QUESTION:
    Does the Think & Lose weight loss program really work?
    The Think & Lose program says: listen to a tape once and your subconscious mind will no longer crave sugary, unhealthy foods, but will crave healthy foods instead, and you'll feel full and satisfied halfway through a meal you would normally finish. This allows you to lose pounds of excess weight and keep it off for good. I was wondering if this was really a scam or if this really does help you using hypnosis. I would prefer answers from those who've tried the product, but all help is welcome.

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

  31. QUESTION:
    what will make you lose weight fast, diet and exercise or weight loss using electric currents?
    my sister in law is going to spend 100 euros on eletric current weight loss with 20 sessions.. suppose to make you lose 3-4 inches where you want it... but I don't think it would really work.... which do you think will work faster in two months, 20 sessions of eletric currents, or two months of strict diet and exercise?

    • ANSWER:
      Electrocuting yourself should make you lose weight faster. Dead people always lose weight faster.

      Seriously, though, the whole electroshock thing is a total scam. There's really no such thing as "targeted weight loss" unless you undergo surgery, which any physician will tell you is again not a substitute for regular exercise and a healthy diet. Forget "quick".. get-rich-quick and get-thin-quick schemes always fall through and the one who tries them winds up paying more than they ever dreamed.

  32. QUESTION:
    What is a good weight loss/exercise program that I can lose weight very quickly on?
    I want to lose weight fast. I have been on weight watchers for a week, and have only dropped a pound. I want something that works a little faster. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      fast is not always a safe way to lose weight. The real key to weight loss is to burn more calories than you take in (sounds simple).

      here is a guide to weight loss that can show you some online tools that will help you lose weight (track what you eat, think of exercises to do, etc)

  34. QUESTION:
    How many pounds do you have to lose to notice weight loss?
    I'm 5' 8" and over the past 4 weeks, I've lost 16 pounds. However, I don't really notice any clear difference in the shape of my body.

    I was 203 pounds, and now I'm 187.

    How many more pounds must I lose before actually seeing real weight loss results.
    Edit: I'M NOT A FEMALE!

    • ANSWER:
      As a rule of thumb Im 5 ft 5 I drop a dress size every 10lbs or so. I find people comment when youve lost two dress sizes.

      Also its very hard to see your body changing so it is absolutely vital you measure your waist, chest etc measurements say every two weeks, then you know its changing. Keep a diary.

      Exercise is the best way to make sure you lose as much of the weight from fat. That makes you look even better for every pound lost.

      Addnl: Dont think it makes any difference if youre f or m, my guess to go from 36 in waist to a 34 in is 10lbs or so and I only really notice when my husband has put on a stone or so or loses it.

      All other advice still stands

  35. QUESTION:
    Running For Weight Loss - How Fast Should I Lose Weight?
    Running for Weight Loss: Could someone help me and suggest on how fast should I lose weight in this method?

    • ANSWER:
      These are two matters that most people would like the answers to when using running for weight loss. They come hand in hand because in case you can improve your jogging capability then you'll also improve your ability to burn calories and lose weight.

      However, there are not any common rules or set timescales where it can be said that everybody will lose 30 pounds over 3 months, or that you will lose 8 pounds in the next month, or that you will go from being able to run 3 miles in 45 minutes to jogging 3 miles in 30 minutes within two months.

      Everybody has a different body, a different mind, and lives in different surroundings, as well as being at different points in their jogging for weight loss plan.

      Therefore, there's a selection of factors that can affect the speed of your jogging and weight loss progress which are given below.

      1. Your beginning weight

      2. Your fitness level and amount of jogging experience

      3. Consistency of jogging

      4. Your motivation

      5. Social support

  36. QUESTION:
    What is circuit training? Is it good for weight loss, but not to lose muscle tone?
    i want to lose weight, but maintain muscle tone in the upper arm area, a little in the buttocks and alot inthr stomach. What is best to achieve this?
    Iam 5 7 155lbs, my goal is 140-145lbs, thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Circuit training is where you go from exercise to exercise with no rest in between. It is used for fat loss because your heart rate is elevated throughout because of the zero rest periods. Think of it as cardio but with weights.

      While it will help fat loss it is nowhere near as important as a good diet for fat loss. A good diet will have you burning body fat 23 hours a day. A good workout only last an hour or so.

      Diet is always 80% of the puzzle.

      If I knew your weight and goal weight I could tell you how much to eat.

      good luck!

  38. QUESTION:
    Anyone know cheap weight loss centers or how to lose weight fast and healthy?
    I need to find a place where i can lose weight like a camp or maybe just a trainer but idk where and that is not too costly...any help?

    • ANSWER:
      Healthy weight loss is gradual weight loss. We all want to lose weight fast but when this occurs it usually means loss of water and/or muscle. This is not good. Our body needs water and we gain it back fairly rapidly (which in turn means weight gain).

      More importantly we need muscle in order to burn fat.Muscle is a very active tissue, so burns fat even while resting. You need to have a certain amount of muscle in order to burn fat efficiently. Every pound of muscle you have will burn 50 extra calories per day.

      Weight loss is all about hard work, commitment, goal setting and desire. If you want to lose weight you can and you will. You don't need a trainer or a camp. You can lose weight on your own, you just need to learn how.

      This following website gives you the tools you need to develop a healthy lifestyle and maintain it for a lifetime.

      Good luck and all the best with your weight loss goals

    Whats the most affordable and effective way to lose weight on The Weight Loss Cure by Kevin Trudeau?
    I know some people still lost weight without having to spend so much money. I cant afford 15 colonics and all this other stuff.. Any tips and suggestions will be appreciated! Pls dont respond if u dont know or havent tried it. Thnks!

    • ANSWER:
      Medifast.

      Most important thing you can do is this:

      1-eat every 2-3 hours (1-200 cal)--6 meals a day--this speeds up your metabolism and keeps it moving. If you don't do this, your metabolism shuts down and stores fat.

      2-eat only protein and vegetables.......get your fiber from nuts. Do NOT have any fruit-it will take you out of ketosis (highest state of fat burning).....Have NO bread, pasta, carbs.......again, your only carbs should be from nuts and veggies.

      3--limit your dairy. Only cottage cheese and goats milk.

      4--drink a minimum of 8 8 oz. glasses of water a day

      5--limit caffeine--caffeine destabilized your blood sugars and causes you to eat.

      6-- get to sleep no later than 10pm....your body rebuild itself between the hours of 10pm-6am........sleeping 11-7 isn't the same.

      7--don't eat after a certain time of day.......if you are hundry, have herbal tea or something light-1oo calories max.

      8--cook in olive oil and make sure you don't over do on fats.

      9--move your body-walk, exercise......do a minimum of 30 min. every day.

      10--stay away from stress......stress releases a chemical that makes your body store fat.

      My doctor taught me all of these things and I've lost 30 pounds in 2 months.

      Good luck.

    I'm just looking for another teenage female who is trying to lose weight and would like to have someone for send and recieve encouragement. Any takers?
    You, soccer, I need an e-mail adress or something.

    • ANSWER:
      PREPARE YOUR OWN FOOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

      While more and more restaurants are offering low-carb friendly menu items, many of them are still not ideal low-carb fare. There are many recipes for quick and easy meals that you can prepare yourself at home. Try to do this as often as possible.

      If you cook your own foods, you know exactly what the contents are and you will be able to better control for hidden sugar and otherwise processed foods.

      Another benefit is the cost savings over the long run. Even if you must go to the grocery store more often, you will save a significant amount per meal as opposed to eating at restaurants and fast food establishments.

      It will also be easier to maintain your diet with your own favorite fresh food selections on hand.

    • ANSWER:
      Eat Less
      Reduce your calorie intake below your calorie expenditure and you will lose weight - it's not rocket science, cut the 3 course feasts and eat moderate meals - simple, yes?
      This doesn't mean you can't eat and lose weight, you just need to be smarter about what you eat.
      Eat Smarter
      Eating Less is elementary and will work, but eating smarter is even better. Eat foods that are low on the glycemic index because they keep your energy even and help you to maintain fat burning all day and night. Eating to lose weight is important, so choose Low GI foods to keep energy levels even and fat burning at a maximum.

  44. QUESTION:
    Why do methamphetmines make you lose weight? Is the weight loss from this negative?
    I heard that they make you lose muscle mass. Whats a good website I can go to see the negative impacts that meth has on our bodies?
    PS Not doing meth, best friend has gotten into it, and am trying to reason with her.

    • ANSWER:
      STOP! meth destroys. It does so much bad i don't know where to begin. If you have an addictive personality it is even worse. The only good thing about meth is the first half hour or so after you take it after that it is all down hill. It destroys your mind and body. You begin to make excuses for everything, nothing is your fault. The lies get worse and worse. It grips your mind first. Robbing it of certain synapsis responses that are essential for a healthy life. Then it starts on your body (after if has gutted your mind). It eats away at your muscle mass and then begins to draw in your skin. eventually greying your hair. But hey that first half hour is great.

  48. QUESTION:
    True that later in weight loss i gets harder to lose it?
    Ive been told that the first few weeks are easy to lose weight and once time goes on it gets even harder to lose weight? is it true? and why?

    • ANSWER:
      2 reasons.
      If you are following the same diet plan/exercise plan you're body will adjust to it and plattau. You need to mix up your exercise, shock the body. Keep your diet healthy.

      The lighter you get, the less weight you will appear to lose. But if you are still losing weight, the percentage of your body weight may remain the same, it's just you are lighter so it just looks on the scales you are losing less. Work out the percentage of your body weight you are losing every week, that will show you if you are still on track.

  50. QUESTION:
    What are the minimum pounds of weight I need to lose in order to visibly see results in weight loss?
    I want to lose weight in 2 weeks. I don't really care how much just as long as its visible to see. Like someone can easily tell that I lost weight. How many pounds do I need to lose in order for that to happen? And how long will it take 2 lose those pounds? Thank you.
    Btw im large not small

    • ANSWER:
      It really depends on the person...I guess I'll just answer based on my own experience. I used to have a lot of visible belly fat (it was really gross...). This summer, I dieted and exercised and within the first 2-3 weeks, I lost around 6-8 lbs. I saw a huge difference in my body. Most of the fat around my stomach was gone, and now, I pretty much have a flat stomach except for bit of fat that I'm still working on to get off.

      The average person, if on a *healthy* diet (1000-1200 calories, 15 minutes of cardio), will lose about 2 lbs per week. Losing any more than 2 lbs per week is dangerous. I lost around 3-4 lbs in the first week, and this is because I went on a 700 calorie diet. I do not recommend this because now, I feel moody all the time and feel dizzy/light-headed. Plus, the weight stops coming off after a few weeks. So moral of the story? Don't go below 1000 calories on a diet. (I'm currently working towards a higher calorie consumption.)
