Do you wonder how much weight can you lose in a week? Not
only you but approximate 5400 people search for the answer of this question
every month on Google search. Though there is no exact answer for this question
as there are different factors behind it but it’s important to know how much weight
you can lose in a week safely without affecting your natural health.
There are many supplements in the market promising 15
Pounds weight loss in a week and some also deliver the results but research
says it is temporary effect and it is not safe. Most of the fast weight loss
supplements not only reduce fat but also reduce water in our body causes
dehydration and weakness that takes time to recover and even effect is
temporary.
Author of the Why Diet Fail, obesity expert Yoni
Freedhoff says, if you cut back to 500-800 calories and workout for couple of
hours daily then you can lose seven to nine pounds out of 250 pounds a week
where as trainer Marc Perry, founder of BuiltLean says he has seen clients lose
up to 1-1.5% of their body weight a week.
How much pounds you can lose in week depends on your body
type and actual weight your body have but it is safe to lose 1 to 1.5% of your
body weight in a week which can be achieved by cutting calorie intake and
physical workout (weight training, aerobic exercise etc.)
Means if your body has 250 Lbs weight, you can lose 2.5
to 4 Lbs a week safely and easily which is also healthy for long term.
The other factor is your body type. It’s easy to lose
weight of fat as compared to weight of muscle. If your body has extra fat than
it is easy to reduce it with workout and calorie cut in your diet but if your
body has weight of muscles, losing is bit harder.
My friend Norenj, 27 Yrs had 210 Lbs weight, but he
wanted to reduce it fast to pass medical examination test. Not actually know
how much calorie he cut down but survived with just one heavy meal, 3 Glass of
fruit juice and salad a day with aerobic exercises (12 Kilometer running and 45
minutes of swimming). After 5 week he managed to lose 31 Lbs of weight, means he
lose about 6 Lbs a week safely with any supplement and by just cutting calorie
intake and doing aerobic exercises.
Some weight training experts says, if you take only 800
calorie a day and workout daily with heavy weight, you can even lose 13-15
pounds of 250 body weight in a week but don’t follow this routine continuously.
This routine is for one week only if you want urgent weight loss otherwise it
is not recommended. Take protein rich food, liquid soups, fruit juice only.
Conclusion
Scientific research and experts advises suggest, it is
safe to lose 1-1.5% of your total body weight in a week safely and you can
achieve it by cutting calories daily calorie intake of 500 calories and 60-90
minutes of daily workout. When it comes to physical workout, weight training
attacks more on fat and not affect your muscle weight much whereas aerobic
exercise like running, swimming etc helps to reduce both body fat and muscles
weight.
Though, it is difficult to tell how much weight can you
lose in a week but you can lose 1-1.5% of your body weight safely and easily in
a week.
