How
Long Will It Take Me To Lose All This Unwanted
Weight?
One
of the first things that individuals like
to know before they strike out on a diet
is, "How long is this gonna take?"
Unfortunately, there isn't an instant answer
to this question, because everyone is made
up differently: muscle mass is different,
calorie needs are different, metabolisms
are different and so forth. However,
here are some averages that may be of help:
- It
takes longer to lose weight that it
does to gain weight.
- On
average, most dieters who are successful
at keeping weight off permanently lose
about 2 pounds per week.
- A
two pound per week weight loss is considered
a safe, reasonable goal.
- To
lose two pounds of weight per week,
an individual must cut their daily calories
by 1,000 OR exercise more in addition
to cutting calories. It takes 3,500 calories
to make a pound. In addition,
a dieter should never dip below 1,250
calories per day and should always seek
the advice of their health care giver
before striking out on a diet.
