    It takes time to gain weight and it takes longer to lose it, so why do people ask to lose 10- 20- 40 pounds like they're in a fast food joint. May I take your order? 20 lbs less an larger breast comming right up. Would you like an apple pie with that order? :0 It's recommended not to lose more than 4 pounds per month because it's dangerous to your health. I've only seen obese people (300 lbs) successfully lose large amounts of fat in a month. A person that is only overweight can not expect to lose that fast. Why? You're body is smarter than you think, it stores fat as a source of energy for times of starvation. That's why people live in extreme enviroments without food survive for several days. So in a sense I'm saying the body of a 170 lbs will resist to lose weight more than a person with a 300 lbs body. That said it's not impossible. The French eat very high calorie foods yet the stay slim. Why? They eat small portions not the SUPER SIZE ME portions we Americans have been conditioned to. Don't let anybody talk you into diet pills. They are bad for your health and your pocket. It's important to learn to count calories, not every calorie but, at least a rough estimate. You need a deficit of 500 calories per day or 3500 calories per week to lose 1 pound of fat. How do u achieve this? Well either burning the calories or not eating them. Go on the net and search for Recommended Daily Allowance which will tell you how many calories you should eat depending on factors like height, weight, age and level of activity. Think of yourself as a car if u eat too much "your tank overflows" and it will show this summer at the beach, yet if u eat too little u run out of energy. So if you burned 4000 calories at the gym this week you can feel guilt-free to eat a 500 calorie treat and still lose that pound. At the end of each day after subtracting the calories u have burned or didn't eat you should be left with at least you minimum calories reccomended for energy purposes. Search for a BMI Calculator which will tell u your ideal weight, and last but not least, to keep track of your calories go to a food calorie index or buy the small calorie counting books you see at the supermarkets with this info you will understand the dynamics of losing weight. NO. u can't chose to lose body fat in a certain part of your body, your body loses fat overall. Yes, I said it. U can do 5000 sit-ups a day and if your calorie intake is too high you'll never see a six-pack abs. Why not u ask? Because it only takes a small amount of fat to hide the six-pack. Jogging 1 mile (equal to 4 laps in a track) burns approximately 100 Calories. To the woman out there don't be afraid of weight training. It would take 10-15 years of INTENSE training and steroid injections to get like a woman body builder. Why did I go through all this trouble to learn this. I worked in the medical field in the Navy/Marine Corps and saw some soldiers slim and others overweight. It worked for me. Good luck! :)

    I located the publication to be very informative and convenient to learn. I've misplaced 17 kilos in 12 days, I'm simply worried that I'm wasting an excessive amount of weight, too rapidly. I will admit I have not adopted the advisor precisely. I'm now not sticking flawlessly to the indexed meals and meal plans (however customarily) and doing little or no activity, however the weight continues flying off. It naturally works and if I'd adopted it precisely I believe it could scare the residing daylights out of me on the grounds that of the quantity that I'd lose. So thank you once more for the know-how. I've in no way bought some thing like this earlier than on the grounds that they're often stuffed with trash, however 3WD has been a first-rate shock. Get began at present!
