Do you think this is a good plan for rapid weight loss?!


Question:

Do you think this is a good plan for rapid weight loss?

I eat 500 calories a day PLUS whatever amount I burn off in exercise.....so if I burn off 400 calories at the gym, I eat 900. What do you think? How much weight could I lose?


Answers:

First of all, your body needs 1200 calories a day MIN to keep your body out of starvation mode- if you eat less than that, chances are you'll actually gain weight!!! Find a good BMR calculator online to input your stats (age, gender, height) and look for one that asks you about you physical activity amount as well. For example, my BMR is is 2100 calories a day... that is what my body burns at a resting rate throughout the day. Then subtract 500 off of that... and that is what I consume in a day to lose 1lb a week (3500 calories=1lb). You can't play with your calories too much, regardless of your amount of workout, you need at LEAST 1200 a day, period! Now if you are also burning 400 a day at the gym you'll lose another 1lb a week. 2lb a week not fast enough for you? Too bad! Losing 2lb a week, the safe way (as i have described above) is the only way to lose weight and keep it off! Keep in mind that when you lose weight fast (pills, starving) you will gain it back, and probably more, just as fast! I assure you the method I have described works, I have lost 25lbs this way, and kept it off! Also recommend taking a good mult-vitamin to make sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs and drinking plenty of fluids!
Another great nutrition tip is to eat as much protein as you can, especially if you are working out! Start off your day with protein and your metabolism will start the day with a leap! Eat every 3-4 hours to keep it burning at it's optimal rate as well. Good luck and do this the right way and you will see permanent results!
