Rapid Weight Loss
When an individual decides to go on a diet, they want to get the weight off as quickly as possible. But rapid weight loss doesn't always equate to permanent weight loss. Here's why:
Rapid weight loss generally comes in the form water weight loss. We can pick up a gallon of drinking water to see just how much water weighs.
Rapid weight loss may also cause permanent damage to the body's vital organs, including the heart and brain. It's like an Oz-Thing. Those of us who have ever experienced rapid weight loss had the courage of the lion, but we were putting the scarecrow and tin man in danger.
Many popular diets, including fad diets and carb restricted diets may stimulate rapid weight loss - but again, any weight loss generally comes in the form of water weight. Once the diet is terminated, weight rapidly returns to the body.
A safe rate of weight loss is about two pounds per week. At the beginning of a diet, the dieter may actually experience a faster rate of weight loss, but once the body adjusts, the two pound average usually kicks in.

An interesting thing about the body is that when we aim for rapid weight loss using a very strict diet, it goes into a protection mode and the metabolism slows down so that calories (energy) will be conserved.
Our body is a delicate instrument - and although sometimes we really send it through the mill and back again, if we would only exercise as much patience as the body, obesity would be conquered.
