Fast Weight Loss

Wheter you have just a little bit too much ‘in the wrong places’, or are really overweight with a body mass index higher than 25, one day you may wish to lose some weight. 

First, you don’t want to lose just water. That’s what many rapid diets simply achieve. Did you know an intake of 10g salt binds 1 kg of water in the body?! After eating salty food you can have easily 2kg more on your ribs. You don’t need a weight loss diet to get rid of that. Just eat less salt, and care about the hidden sources of salt. Changes of up to 2kg in body weight are so normal, and happen on a daily basis.

Second, you don’t want to lose muscle mass. Also not as a woman. Esp. females can’t have too visible muscles, as long not special methods of doping are applied. In fact, you want to have as much muscle mass as possible. Why? Because muscles burn energy, and even if you don’t lose them a lot, more muscles burn more energy. And energy is what the body stores mainly as fat. The more muscles you have (and, of course, the more you use them in the best case), the less you are in danger to put (fatty) weight on, as long you don’t compensate it by eating excessively.  

So, what you just want to lose is fat. Fat only. Alright, if you go on a weightloss diet you may lose some water the first days. That’s normal. But is it possible to lose only fat and no muscle mass? It is. Fat loss means, you have to have a lower energy intake than your body needs. Muscle loss means, you eat less protein than your body needs. In many old weight loss plans, these two things are combined. But it can be simply avoided. You don’t need a weight loss plan. Just eat less fatty foods. And replace it with protein-rich food. As protein contains less energy than fat, you will also automatically decrease your calorie intake. It may not be enough. You have to eat less calories than your body needs. You could be more active, which is generally recommended. Most people will also have to control their appetite. As this is BY FAR the most difficult part for most human beings, many people find appetite suppressants very helpful during the first days of a diet.

As you reduced the fat intake already, also the diet pill Xenical can be considered.  

You don’t want to eat too less, means, you don’t want to feel weak and die of starvation. If you listen to your reduced appetite, and satisfy your stomach with valuable complex carbohydrates and protein, it will be the right amount. 

But I want a fast weight loss! Yes, and you want long term success. People who apply such basic rules as mentioned above evidently lose 2-3kg the first days, which is water, and then constantly fat. 100g fat per day means eating 1000kcal per day less than your body needs. No super-formula can’t change this physical fact. 1-2kgs per week (fat loss, not to forget!) are realistic. That’s in the first week 4-5kg of body weight (including excessive water, but not bad, if you want to see some quick results - for still quite slim people it is often enough), 5-7kg after 2 weeks, and nearly 10kg in 3, latest 4 weeks. Appetite control is the most difficult thing in this time, some lucky ones can do it without help, which takes a lot of discipline, others find weight loss medications supportive for a while.
