Trying to Shed Pounds Fast? Is It the Right Way to Go
Patience is a characteristic that individuals who are attempting to shed weight seem to need more of. The fat can by no means be lost quick enough to satisfy what their idea of how weight loss should happen. The idea from mainstream media is that losing weight can be effective done rapidly. Because of the lose weight fast hype of one hour reality tv shows, it seems to be a breeze and is long term. This mindset promoted by the world is a tad bit skewed from what happens in real-life.
Immediate weight loss looks like the ultimate intention of anybody who is fat and needs to lose pounds, but is it smart? The truth is that it isn't the best line of attack to tackle weight loss. It is natural to want to lose weight fast, but there are a number of real problems that go with that mindset. There are many problems that can arise from losing weight too fast. What many people don't understand is that when you lose weight, you are losing different types of tissue in your body. Generally this is fat and muscle. The faster that weight is lost, the more muscle is lost, not fat. Muscle loss can create more problems in the future than it helps. The weight will return once the metabolically active muscle is in a lower percentage in the body. In addition, the faster we lose the weight, the faster it will come back. Sounds disappointing? Lose weight slow and you will be successful. That is how the game of weight loss should be played.
Stable weight loss should be the goal of anyone trying to lose their love handles. Trying to attain short term weight loss too sudden will hinder your weight loss stability later on in your life once you're not able to exercise as hard or regulate your diet as well. It is recommended that you should lose no more than two pounds a week. Pass beyond two pounds per week, and you drop muscle mass and the percentage of fat in your body increases. Muscle is active part of your body and therefore burns more energy. Adipose tissue is not as energy consuming and doesn't raise your body's metabolism. Think for a minute that it took a period of years to gain the fat that you now have. Pounds of fat just doesn't accumulate in your body overnight and it won't leave overnight. That is that we why you need to slow it down in your weight loss regimen.
There are certainly exceptions to the hard and fast rule of 2 lbs. of weekly weight loss. The exceptions go for the morbidly obese over 300 pounds. At a higher weight, weekly weight loss can be looked at on a percentage basis. In most cases of morbid obesity, 1% is the general guideline for maximum weight loss in a week.
Where the real blubber, I mean the rubber, hits the road is and how much fat tissue is lost during the process. It is also recommend that a physician oversees the process. There needs to be any increase in lean body mass ratio as you lose weight.
When you want to lose weight, you should look at adding a weight lifting regime to build muscle in your body. Muscle is a more active type of tissue that will help you keep the weight off.
If you carry on with an excessive weight loss every week and you are losing more and more lean muscle tissue, once you stop dieting and exercising the ratio of fat tissue will be higher than when you started. Therefore what would you will have is a slowing down of your metabolism, and you're setting yourself up for a future gain in weight. At the point that you have lost the weight, you are almost like a "skinny fat person". Yeah of course you've lost weight but not the right kind of weight.
How do I recognize if I'm losing fat as opposed to muscle?
There are a number of home testing kits that can help you measure the fat ratio of your body. One of those is the bioelectric impedance analysis body fat scale, but the best thing that you can use is body fat calipers. We won't go into the formula of how you analyze body fat ratio using calipers measurements, but what you do is pinch a loose portion of your skin on your separate parts of your body and assess the depth in millimeters. From this you will get the best accurate understanding for body fat percentage. The formula that you utilize will account for height and weight and sex. Websites that perform the calculations for you can be found quite effortlessly on Google. Just insert the data and you'll get back your fat ratio percentage.
Generally just reflect about the manner that you had your weight gain. It wasn't fast process. It took years. If you'll take the initiative, and lose weight slowly just as you gained it, and stick to it, you will have great success! - 17274
