5 ways to see how fast you can lose weight


1. The more you weigh... The quicker you can lose weight.

2. Your lifestyle

3. Stress levels

Cortisol is a hormone released in your body when stress levels are high - telling your brain "you're hungry - you need to eat more to combat all this stress".

The more stressed you are... the more hungry you are and the more you will overeat and become fat.

4. The more balanced your diet is... the faster you'll lose weight.

If your diet is high in carbs your body will store fat easily and if your diet is high in protein your body will use your own muscle tissue as energy and when you lose muscle your metabolism drops making it easier for you to gain weight.

And Please Note: losing muscle makes you look uglier and losing fat makes you look good naked.

To make things simple... as long as you eat about 1/2 -1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight you'll be okay. For example a 200 lb. person would need to eat about 100-200grams of protein a day. (see why you need protein to lose weight)

A person who eats more frequently during the day will lose weight faster than a person who eats less than 4 times a day. Every time you eat... Your body has to burn fat calories to digest the food you eat and the more times you eat...

You should try to shoot for 6 meals a day every 2-3 hours.

5. The amount of muscle and fat you have

A leaner, more muscular person will lose weight faster and keep it off longer than a fatter person because muscle burns more calories than fat.

1 pound of muscles burns 50 calories day (A pound of FAT burns none) which adds up to 5 pounds a year. So if you do go on a weight loss program... it's a good idea to gain muscle weight to burn off fat and keep off fat weight.

ladykpnyc,

NO, although weight training may make you gain muscle - for every 5 pounds of muscle you gain I bet you'll look 5-to10 pounds lighter.

My goal is to lose 20lbs...I currently workout 6 days a week, but I do 4 days of cardio and 2 days of weight training...should I omit the weight training until I reach my goal?
