Body weight is a funny thing that has a way of sneaking up on you slowly. One minute you are fitting into your favourite jeans, then the next you can't even get the zip up when you're lying flat on the bed! Often we don't realise just how much weight we put on until we have a special occasion coming up. Then, like a ton of bricks falling on our shoulders we have the realisation that there is a definite need to do something to lose quick weight and fat.
However, before you go off and buy that new Hollywood diet plan, or take a diet pill or even buy a ton of pineapple to go on a juice fast, please consider the following facts about diet schemes that make you lose quick weight.
Fast weight loss is unhealthy for a number of reasons, which many of the "lose quick weight" schemes fail to tell you about, (because if you knew you obviously wouldn't buy them of course!) Fast loss of weight is unhealthy because:
1. Fast weight loss can cause loss of energy and in some cases exhaustion
2. The weight you lose very quickly is usually water weight. You run the risk of dehydrating yourself only to find that you quickly regain the pounds you lost once you restore your natural fluid levels.
3. If you do lose a lot of fluid you can easily develop cramps, dizziness and fainting due to imbalances of sodium, potassium and other important minerals
4. You risk depriving your body of the essential nutrition it needs to remain strong and healthy.
5. If you chose fasting or juice only diets, you may develop diarrhea and severe stomach discomfort.
6. To lose quick weight can often mean that as well as making yourself unwell, you run the very real risk of developing saggy, baggy skin that also becomes scaly and dry, and brittle hair that breaks easily.
7. Drastically dropping your food intake to lose quick weight also affects your metabolic rate. This means your body goes into starvation protection mode actually slowing down your metabolic rate and making it harder still to lose weight.
Obviously, non of the above methods are what you should be aiming for if you want to survive the diet ordeal. In fact the best favour you can do for your body is to realise that it took a while for you to put on the extra pounds, and it will obviously take a while to lose them and keep them away permanently.
Having said that, using a scientifically based diet plan and weight loss program you may still lose quick weight over the first few weeks of the program anyway. Reputable diets which allow for balanced and nutritional food plans and that supply the tools and knowledge to maintain a healthy eating plan, usually deliver a substantial weight loss in the first two weeks of the program anyway due to gradual loss of excess water and loss of some very real fat.The difference with well balanced diets is that the initial weight loss stays off and then settles into a regular reduction pattern that usually delivers around two pounds of fat loss a week. This is considered a healthy and sustainable weight loss plan.
In summary, a plan to lose quick weight using gimics, fad diets and pills, is not only expensive and difficult to stick to, but also has real risks for your health. The only diet plan you should be considering if you are serious about long term weight loss is one that provides balance, information and the tools to make effective changes to your continuing lifestyle.
