Why You Don’t Want Fast Weight Loss
OK, most people do want fast weight loss, get it done and back to normal while having a sexy slim figure. Mostly, it doesn’t work that way and we get disappointed why weight loss does not work for us, but hang on, we might actually do the right thing!
First, we need to have a look on how we actually want to look like once we have dropped that weight, slim and toned, isn’t it?
Now, what you want to get rid of is not necessarily the weight, it is the fat you want to lose! I just want to emphazise this because it is not the same thing!
Weight loss and fat loss is not the same thing!
If you are determined to lose weight quickly going on a crash diet, you might indeed lose maybe 5-7 pounds during the first week or 10 days, but quite unlikely this will all be fat. More likely most of that will rather be muscle tissue, water and because your intestines are less full.
Remember, to lose one pound, you need to burn about 3,500 calories! So to achieve quick weight loss you would need to create a drastic calorie deficit (starving yourself), and that combined with little protein intake and no strength exercise is a recipe for disaster!
Most people are primed to burn sugar, because that is usually the main food their body gets. If the body doesn’t get enough sugar any more because of a crash diet, the easiest way is to use muscle tissue instead! However, muscle tissue only stores about 600 calories per pound. So that is where your fast weight loss is coming from!
Instead of burning one pound of fat for 3,500 calories, you have burned 6 pounds of muscle for 3,600 calories!!??
The reality probably lies somewhere in-between, depending on the size of the calorie deficit, sufficient protein supply, stimulation for the muscles to be kept rather than to be metabolized (through exercises that actually use the muscles) and depending on your starting weight / overweight.
The more overweight you are, the more fat reserves the body has and the more likely it will use the fat as an energy source.
Nevertheless, if you go on a diet and the pounds do not miraculously fall off, it might be a good thing in the end, as slow and steady weight loss combined with proper nutrition and a dose of exercise means you are indeed getting rid of the fat layer revealing a toned, sexy body maybe not sooner but surely later!
This is exactly what I think, now that I am recording everything and counting calories. I started to do this differently from previous diet attempts, because I used to lose always only a few kilos and then my weight loss just stopped. This again caused frustration ending up in abandoning my diets again. So, yes, slow and steady weight reduction with gradually increasing levels of exercise will do the trick. And as a side effect, I did figureout that I would never eat enough to keep my metabolism working as it should have. The starvation-mode, which is reached only after a few days of doing the wrong diet, prevents loss of body weight pretty well
Very true!!! It must be a continuous effort not just a nice and fancy fast deal. One must be committed to lose weight ( oh no! Not weight—wrong terminology!) I repeat, one must be committed to lose body mass!
