During self-isolation, one of the main tasks is not to gain weight. Although many people use this period to pay more attention to exercise and a healthy diet. Quarantine gave a chance to pay attention to your lifestyle and people decide to change something, including losing weight. Information on exercise and diet is one of the most popular in the search engines of the Internet. Unfortunately, not everyone understands which diet suits him or her, and which exercises will bring the desired result. Also, we draw your attention to the fact that various factors influence the process of losing weight, namely: metabolism, sleep quality, your psychological state.
Even if you have a weight loss plan, are you sure that it is safe for your health? Healthy weight loss affects how long you can maintain weight. After all, often people losing a few pounds very quickly, but in a week they gain even more. This suggests that the process of losing weight was wrong.
This question can be answered in the words of Christina Santori, who claims that there is no right number for all. If you look at weight loss per month, then initially the number of pounds lost will be affected by factors such as age, initial weight, and gender.
Therefore, the doctor advises focusing on the method that you use for losing weight, and not on the number of pounds lost. If you use an unhealthy diet with a catastrophic calorie deficit, it will harm your health. This is a big health danger when you eat less than 600 calories per day. Yes, you will lose many pounds in a month using this method, but are you ready to pay such a high price as your health?
Santori notes that if you lose weight gradually, but steadily is better than a quick way. She believes that losing one or two pounds a week brings the best result that you can keep for a long time. Some researchers have found that people who lose weight slowly achieve the desired result healthy and can maintain normal weight without much effort. People who use a low-calorie diet have been gaining weight for several months after returning to a normal diet. All of their life they cannot eat only water, therefore, after losing weight, they begin to return to their usual way of life and their result disappears very quickly.
