How to Lose Weight Quickly

By Curt Joel

Many people want to lose weight quickly and safely. However evidence shows that in order to keep the weight off permanently you should strive to lose, at most, about 1-2 pounds of fat per week.

The most common mistake that people make in their attempts to lose fat is to approach weight loss as a one time thing and not a lifestyle change.

Effective fat loss programs all do the same basic thing. They manipulate calorie intake so that calories in is less than the total number of calories expended. Most people don't know that one pound of fat equals 3,500 calories.

So to lose 1-2 pounds per week you would need to consume 500-1000 fewer calories than you currently take in - assuming that your weight has stabilized.

Alternatively, you could also opt for increasing the amount of physical exercise you do so that your body will be burning 1,000 calories more each day than it's doing at present. Both of these approaches would result in you shedding 2lbs. of fat each week.

Unfortunately, both the above mentioned approaches fail to consider factors such as a person's individuality and personality, just as they don't take other factors such as hormone production into consideration.

But for someone who is looking to lose weight quickly, without regard to long term fat loss, this is all that you need to know.

For people who are concerned with long term and permanent fat loss it is essential to approach body transformation as a lifestyle change.

Those people who manage to lose weight successfully and keep it off permanently, have in fact made exercise part of their daily life rather than seeing it has an unnecessary burden.

Instead, these people don't see exercise as being a chore but rather as something which they can enjoy. Apart from weight loss, a daily exercise program has far too many health benefits to list here.

The benefits of doing daily exercise go on and on and on.

So if you want to have a better outlook on life, more energy, and more - don't even think about how to lose weight quickly. Think about making a permanent lifestyle change and losing weight forever. - 17273
