How Quickly Can You Lose Fat?

People want results. They want to know how quickly they can achieve their objective, how soon they can fit back into their jeans, and they want that information now. Gone are the years of steady improvement, the time when we would be willing to work at a goal until we achieved it down the distant future. Instead, we have become a nation demanding instant results, and as such we want to know: how quickly can I lose fat? When will I be slim again? If I do everything right, what is the best way to get that weight off and keep it off? In today's article we're going to take an honest look at the reality of dieting, and provide you with the truth.Now, let's make a couple of distinctions right out the gate. First, many diets claim that they can help you lose up to five to 10 pounds of weight a week if you follow them correctly. Notice that they say ‘weight' and not ‘fat', and this is key. Many of these extreme diets will indeed help you lose weight, but that is not guaranteed to be fat. Instead, what you will most likely be losing is a combination of water, protein and fat, and the dramatic results will come from the loss of water. Second, there are indeed extreme crash diets that will help you lose a lot of fat all at once, but those are rarely healthy for you. Some people like professional body builders might benefit from such a diet as they prepare for competition, but most people will only severely mess with their metabolisms and will immediately put that weight right back on, such that their dramatic losses are undone as soon as they begin eating for maintenance once more. This article will tell you how much fat you can lose in a healthy manner.So, to the facts. If you do everything right, from ensuring that you are consuming the correct amount of calories, that you are eating a high amount of protein and moderate amounts of fat and carbs, that you are consuming a lot of fiber, eating slowly and frequently, then you should be able to lose about one to two pounds of actual fat a week. Obese individuals might lose more, even three to four pounds, but that is the limit for healthy diet fat loss.
