If you lose weight too fast, you’ll have 95% chance of regaining it all...so why should you even bother?
The slower the weight loss, the best your chance to keep it off.
I think the best rate of body fat loss is half a pound a week (1,750 calories of exercising), not really on the scale as you’re supposed to gain muscle mass and water/waste fluctuations can be huge when you change your diet.

You should eat enough calories to cover your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or your body will adapt to a low caloric intake and lower your metabolism, making it very hard for you to use your body fat. And then, as soon as you would eventually start eating normally again, you would make body fat very easily, because you would have a lower metabolism and therefore regain all the weight you lost and keep going up, unless you exercise A LOT.

Women’s BMR:
655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - minus (4.7 x age in years)

Do not have a “diet” diet, where you’re told what to eat, just eat healthy, have a simple healthy diet, so you can satisfy your cravings and answer your body’s need for some missing nutrients. If I’m building muscle mass, I’ll need a lot of carbs to do the weight training (because it’s anaerobic and fat burning shuts down) and then I’ll get huge cravings for eggs, nuts or a good juicy filet mignon (need for proteins for the “repairing stronger” part) otherwise, I would only eat eggs or meat like once a week.

Eating healthy is about avoiding the unhealthy food as much as possible. Once you stay away from fast food (any restaurant food, really), packaged and boxed food (except for bread, pasta and rice, if you don’t make your own bread/pasta), canned food, prepared and processed food, then you’re left with the fruits/veggies, whole wheat food (the brown kind of bread, pasta), brown rice, legumes (beans, peas, lentils...), lean meat, low fat dairies, eggs and the good kind of oil (olive, avocado, nuts, fish). You can have any of the bad stuff occasionally so they don’t become forbidden obsessions. Have some French fries, or one slice of pizza (with your favorite veggies) or a cookie, once in a while. Just don’t do it every day and watch out for portion sizes.
Also the cooking method can double the calorie content of a meal, so learn about healthy cooking without having to add extra fats, like using a steamer (using water), a rotisserie (using heat and herbs), a slow cooker (using homemade broth and herbs), a pressure cooker, a grill…

Once you cook your own meals, you can control the calorie content because your control the cooking method and all the ingredients. A lot of people are overweight because they keep eating food that they did not cook.


Do not focus on the scale. As long as you’re eating enough to cover your BMR and not too much above that and that you exercise, you will lose one pound of body fat for each 3,500 calories of exercising, no matter what the scale indicates.

Losing one pound of body fat does not mean losing one pound of weight because it does not take into account muscle mass gain (which is very good) and water and waste fluctuations, which can be huge and are very confusing and irrelevant since only temporary because eventually, your body settles down. Eating healthier and drinking more water will make you lose water retention (less sodium) and waste (more fiber and better regularity).

Using a tape measure once a month to chart your progress will reassure you because when you lose half a pound of body fat (the best weekly body fat loss...1750 calories of exercising) but gain some muscle mass and some water weight so you don’t lose any weight on the scale…it’s a little depressing, when, in fact, you should be happy, and you get happy when you use a tape measure and lose half an inch somewhere, or even a quarter of an inch (like the thighs) even if you did not lose any weight on the scale.


Once (11 years ago), I hit my 130lbs threshold so I lost 10 pounds of body fat in 10 weeks with a super healthy low calorie diet, just high enough to cover my BMR and doing a lot of low intensity fat burning aerobics and some weight training. This was VERY hard and time consuming because I could not eat more to get energy for the exercising. Plus you cannot use body fat for weight training, since it’s anaerobic.
In retrospect, losing 10 pounds in 10 weeks was a mistake…I should have lost half a pound per week and lose 10 pounds in 20 weeks so it would not be such a bad memory because I had to do 2 hours of exercising a day (to burn 3,500 calories a week), for 5 days a week (with 2 rest days) and this was very hard because I did not eat for it. This is why you cannot lose more than one pound of body fat a week because above 2 hours of exercising, you would really need to eat more to keep going (and you cannot eat more than your BMR).



First off, don't exlect to lose 5 pounds a week. Try more like 3. The best diet plan I've been on is the Special K diet losing the most at 3 pounds a week. With this diet I have lost over 10 pounds
