Fast Gain, Fast Loss - Gaining/Losing Weight?
I know that it is not good to lose more than 1-2 pounds a week for safe weight loss. I had a question though. If you gain 15 pounds in one month, is it safe to lose 15 pounds the next month?
I am not saying either is healthy and I know that yo-yo dieting is horrible - all "tips" aside, I have heard that the main reason you should not lose weight quickly is because your body will not have time to adjust. But if you put it on super fast (which I know is unhealthy anyway), will it greatly hurt you to lose it that fast as well?
well usually people have a set point…. consistency is the key…. let's say your set poing is 135lbs You usually could lose 5-10lbs then go back to 135lbs in a couple of weeks, then gain 5-10lbs and then go back to 135lbs in a couple of weeks… If you excersie consistently for a long period of time, months-years…. then your set point itself will change… to let's say 110…
My father is a nutritionist… He does not believe in "QUICK" weight loss diets… if they are not maintained for years..
