What is the most basic weight loss rule?

What will make anyone, all people, fat or thin, fast metabolism or slow, short or tall, old or young, muscle bound or not, lose wieght? Yes, I'm looking for the single golden rule for weight loss in humans. Does this golden rule exist? If you know, please share.

Certainly, burning more calories than you take in is the 'way' to lose weight. However, equally important is the rate at which you lose weight.

People should aim to lose (or gain for that matter) no more than 1 pound per week. Crash dieting causes the body to use up glycogen (source of instant energy) which is bound in lean material (muscle and liver) by water. Therefore, if you crash diet, you use up glycogen which releases water which you excrete giving you the false impression that you have lost many pounds of weight, when all it is is water. When you then eat normally again, the water piles back on and so does the weight.

Steady calorie controlled diet works best.

The 2-Pounds a Week Weight Loss Rule - Will it Hurt if I Stretch that to 10 Pounds

The 2-Pounds A Week Weight Loss Rule - Will It Hurt If I Stretch That to 10 Pounds?

For those of you who don't know it, or this is your first time to seriously try to manage your weight, you might have not heard of the 2-pounds a week rule. And most likely your main concern is if it's possible to lose 10 pounds in 1 week.

The 2 pounds a week weight loss rule is actually recognized and recommended by the government and most health organizations as the safest way to lose weight in a weekly basis. But if you were to do your due diligence, it's nothing more than math and statistics. It is based on a practical number of calories the average person consumes every day and how much calories can the average person cut in a day. The rule is basically taken as an average number (2) which any individual can follow and safely lose weight.

So does this mean that it won't hurt me if I decide to stretch the "average" and try to lose 10 pounds in 1 week?

Well, yes and no.

You can lose 10 pounds in a week. But you must take into consideration the safety and risk factors involved that are mainly dependent on your body and situation. This is the reason why many diet and fitness professionals recommend only losing 2 pounds a week.

However, you can accomplish this feat of losing 10 pounds in 1 week if you are able to take note and discuss with your trainer details such as your fat to muscle ratio, body composition, and even your water weight. This is so you will determine if your present physical condition is capable of safely shedding off all those unwanted pounds. Take note as well that it is possible to lose that much amount of weight in a week, especially at the start. It often gets harder as your own diet progresses.

So if you're after losing 10 pounds in 1 week, taking all the advice in consideration... the general rule to follow is "extraordinary efforts produce extraordinary results". The questions you should now be asking yourself would be: Are you willing to tolerate all the high exercise, low calories, and the hunger that it will create? Do you have the work ethic that can make it possible? When your weight loss program is over, do you have the restraint to control yourself from putting back all that weight again?

Answer it in the privacy of your stomach.
