Fast
Weight Loss
There are a few tasks
in life that are NOT fun. These tasks sometimes have us scrubbing
our feet and looking for a place to hide in hopes that they will
go away - much like our unwanted weight. And dieting is one
task that sits way, way low on the totem pole of our 'Things to
Do' list.
So we procrastinate
dieting until another day which in time, turns into another decade.
Before we know what hit us, we've got more weight to lose
than Hercules has bulges - only his bulges are a lot prettier than
ours.
And like most tasks
that get put off until another day, there comes a time when we must
take action. So, here we go a-dieting!
Here are a few questions
revolving around Fast Weight Loss because as with all undesirable tasks,
we desire a fast solution - and in the case of weight loss - a fast
weight loss solution!
THE DIET QUESTIONS
1. One of the first
thoughts that creep into a dieter's mind is, "How fast can
I lose this unnecessary weight?"
The more weight we have to lose, the longer it's going
to take to get the unwanted weight off.
2. K..... So what
is a good rate of weight loss per week while dieting?
Shoot for a 2-pound per week weight loss. That
may not seem like a lot of weight, but over the course of one year,
that's over 100 pounds of weight loss. Talk about FAST WEIGHT
LOSS!
3. What if I want to
lose more than 2 pounds of weight per week? I mean, I really
want to get this unnecessary weight off my overloaded frame. I
want to lose 10 pounds per week. Can I do that?
We feel that would be a difficult task to accomplish
and in the end, you may end up with a naked frame. This is why:
One pound equals 3,500 calories. Break that down by dividing
it by 7 days (there are seven days in a week) and we get 500 calories
which means that we must cut 500 calories per day from our diet
in order to lose just ONE pound per week.
A two-pound per week of fast weight loss means that we must cut
1,000 calories per day from our diet.
A ten-pound per week of fast weight loss means that we must cut
3,500 calories per day from our diet.
Another
method that burns up calories is exercise - so when combined with
a healthy daily calorie limit, you're on the Fast Track to Weight
Loss & Good Health.
Keeping
all of this in mind, our bodies require calories each and every
second of the day in order to thrive so we can only restrict our
calorie intake to a certain point. Although the extra calories
that we consume over time become stored in fat cells, our bodies
are so sensitive and smart that when our calorie intake become severe,
the body goes into lockdown. It's our safety mechanism. It's
much like a car when it is running low on oil.
Example:
Our youngest
son was notorious about letting his car go unchecked when it came
to oil and water. He always ensured that it had gas because
without gas, he couldn't go. And he quickly learned the same applied
when it came to oil.
Tom and
I got a call from our son and learned that he was stranded on a
stretch of very busy highway. It was night, although the bright
lights of the cars zooming by made it seem like day.
Our son's
car had automatically shut down because his oil was depleted and
the car overheated. If the car hadn't shut down, it would
have been toast. So Tom refilled the oil, and all was well.
That car
is like our bodies. When we don't get enough calories - our
bodies click into rescue mode and our metabolism slows to a snail's
pace in order to conserve energy (i.e. calories).
4. Where can I find
a healthy diet plan for fast weight loss?
A diet based on the Official Food Pyramid is not only
healthy - it's effective and sassy.
5. To lose weight fast,
should I use a fad diet plan or a healthy diet plan?
What? This is a trick question, right? Okay....the
answer is that you should ALWAYS implement a healthy diet - when
losing weight, or not.
