Answer 2

To lose weight the healthy way, most studies say that 2-3 pounds a week is the most you should lose. Definately not more than 5 pounds in one week. When people first start to work out, they may notice a large loss of weight. This is can be accredited to a loss in water weight. After the first initial weeks, you should see a decrease in the weight lost to about 2-3 pounds. My suggestion to you would be to not worry so much about the number on the scale as opposed to how you look and feel. The way an old pair of pants feels is a WAY better measure of fitness than a scale. If you lose more than the 2-5 pounds in a week, more than likely you are losing muscle mass. You might also check the local gyms and have yourself measured on a Tanita scale. It shows you how much weight you lose from fat as well as your free fat mass (everything in the body minus the fat) so that you can make sure that you are losing weight from the places that you want (fat) and maintaining/increasing muscle mass.

Answer 3

Its safe to lose 2 lbs a week if you want to lose it and keep it off. When you start losing more than 2 lbs, your body is more prone to rebounding, and then you put the weight back on.

There are 5 most important things that must go together in any workout program. These are part of changing your complete lifestyle to one that is healthier. They also help you to naturally optimize your metabolism. The faster your metabolism the better your body uses your food for energy, instead of storing it as fat.
I put them in the order of importance.

1. Eat more. Yes eat more. More meals that is. It is best to eat a small meal every 3-4 hours. The meal should be just large enough to where you are not hungry, as opposed to eating you are full. There is a difference, think of it as no bigger than the size of your two fists put together. Eating 1 or 2 meals a day slows your metabolism down. You should have at least 4-6 meals a day. For most a ratio of carbs-proteins-fats should be 50%-25%-25% is good, but each person is unique.

2. Drink more water. Most of us don’t have enough water. This means our bodies are dehydrated. Two things a dehydrated body has trouble doing, one is releasing water. In order to lose fat you must be able to release water, because fat cells in your body are composed of mostly water. A dehydrated body cannot build very well. Muscle tone indicates a constant building state in your body. If your body isn’t building that means it is losing muscle and it’s never good to lose muscle that slows your metabolism and makes you look flabby.

3. Maintain a balanced workout regimen of cardio and resistance (weights). Cardio is good for fat burning and it’s easy to do and to progress yourself. Resistance is a little harder because it’s not as easy to know what to do. If weights aren’t your thing then try Yoga or Pilates. Both are very effective resistance and core training and can help you maintain lean muscle and increase your overall metabolism.

4. Smart supplementation of your diet is your best solution to making sure you get the nutrients your food doesn’t give you. A daily multivitamin will suffice in most cases, and if you don’t like pills they sell it in liquid form. Plus cleanses, as well as detox formulas are awesome for eliminating toxins we take into our bodies without knowing.

5. Sleep is a very important part of any healthy lifestyle regimen. When we sleep our bodies and minds refresh themselves and allow us to function at an optimal level. Sleeping allows muscles to rebuild themselves and when they do that, it speeds your metabolism.

Answer 4

I would not you suggest to count per week, that is not right. When you trying to loose some weight, the first few ponds, that just a water from you body. If you really want to loose weight, you must to change you life stile. I am not talking about exegeses now, i am talking about the way people eating, according of my experience. Try to not eat any kind of bread, pasta, potato, rise, even if it is fat free products, that food still contain curbs.
I am doing this all time and i have good results.
Good lack. Just do not take any medications, that is not good for you.

Answer 5

One pound of weight is the equivalent of about 3500 calories burned in excess of intake. If your daily energy expendature is 3000 calories and you eat 2500 calories you will lose one pound in seven days. However H2O is lost as you improve your diet because most healthy diets are lower in sodium. You retain less H2O and the weight initially comes off quickly, but this is pseudo weight loss.
