RAPID WEIGHT LOSS - DIETING - QUICK DIETS

LIMITS TO WEIGHT LOSS

There is a limit to how much weight your body can lose over time. Because of its abilities to counteract unhealthy weight loss, it will generally only accept a certain level of weight loss. This limit is typically about 1-2 pounds per week. Of course, you cannot continue losing 1-2 pounds until you weigh nothing, eventually you will hit your weight plateau, the point when your body cannot afford any more pounds. Once you've reached this point, it is all about balancing your calories so you don't start adding to your waistline again. Keeping weight off your body is the hardest part of dieting.

Many fad diets offer weight loss of "15 pounds in 10 days!" and "30 pounds in 2 weeks", etc. These diets will simply deprive your body of vitamins, and cause you to lose muscle mass and water. Yet these diets do nothing to help you after the period is over. Without any lifestyle change, you'll be doomed to climb back to your original weight over and over again.
