Weight Loss Chart
|
| Rate of Weight Loss | Weight Loss per Week | Comments |
| Slow Weight Loss | 0 - 1 pounds | This rate is best for holding onto muscle. Slow weight loss results in more muscle and less fat, but takes a longer amount of time. Many people will not be happy with the slow results. |
| Faster Weight Loss | 1 - 2 pounds | This is the rate of weight loss I recommend for most people. If you are not in a hurry and do not have much fat to lose, go with 0-1 pounds per week. With the proper weightlifting program, cardio, and diet, you can hold onto most of the muscle you have! |
| Fast Weight Loss | > 2 pounds | I don't recommend weight loss at this rate because more muscle will be lost. You can minimize the amount of muscle you lose, though, with a good weight lifting program, diet, and cardio program. If you are very overweight, you will probably lose weight faster than most and probably more than 2 pounds per week at times! |
| After
studying the weight loss table above, some of you are probably
wondering why you need to focus on fat loss only. You might be saying that you don't care about muscle and you only want to lose weight! Let me explain something to you... Whatever you do, you do not want to lose a lot of muscle on your weight loss program. Why you ask? Muscle burns calories. If that doesn't mean anything to you, I will explain. If you lose muscle, your body will be burning fewer calories per day. This means you have to take in fewer calories per day to lose more weight. You want your body to become a calorie burning furnace because you need to eat the most amount of food possible to get the nutrients your body needs to repair itself and for you to stay healthy! You do not want to lose muscle because you will end up eating less food per day and eventually you'll end up starving yourself just to lose some weight. You'll end up geting sick! You'll gain more weight and have more fat than you had before you started. Who wants that? Let's do it the correct way! |
Do you know why people gain all the weight back that they lost after
going on a weight loss diet? Those people have done absolutely
everything wrong! Starvation diets do not work! Diets alone do
not work well.
If you want to lose weight the right way, you need to start a weight
lifting program including a good diet and a good cardiovascular
exercise program. Weight lifting will help you build muscle and hold
onto all the muscle you have! Use diet and cardio to control the amount
of weight you lose each week.
That's how you lose weight the correct way. Use this website as your
guide to design your very own weight lifting, diet, and cardio program
for maximum fat loss!
The Weight Loss Chart above will serve as your guideline for increasing
and decreasing calories each week. All you have to do is weigh yourself
each week under the same conditions. Then adjust your calorie intake to
lose weight according to the chart.
