A small bit of trivia for you. Did you know that 13 of the past 14 winners on the Biggest Loser TV Show have gained the weight back? It the truth, and there's a simple reason. When you starve your body for calories and that can't go on forever, when you stop the diet your cravings will take over and you'll start to eat all the foods you did before. It might not come back immediately but in the first year, you'll gain a portion of it and the second year you'll gain the rest and sometimes more. Most of them will end up weighing more than before.
Large amounts of weight should be lost gradually. Lost about 10% of your body weight and stop and maintain that weight for a few months, then continue and lose another 10% and do it in stages. You have to let your body establish a set point. Your body doesn't like change, it thinks you're starving and it will start to hoard calories. And the only way to do that is to accumulate fat. This is an old survival mechanism that your body has because thousands of years ago humans never know when they would eat again. It's the same survival mechanism that wild animals have.
A person can lose as much weight as they want if they do it the right way. The best way to lose weight is to change everything you're doing now. If you eat fat you will add more fat and animal fat is what you don't want to eat. It's hard to avoid all animal fat because it's in almost all our foods. All dairy products have animal fat. All meat has animal fat. So what does a person do to lose weight? Increase the amount of fish your eating. Look up on the internet and see which fish and shellfish are "low in mercury" and I was surprised, there's a lot. You can also eat lean meat, like chicken breasts, turkey breasts, pork loin and others. You want to avoid cuts of red meat with layers or marbled fat and only eat red meat about twice a month.
Another tip for losing weight is to stay away from high-calorie food and drinks. Buy food fresh. Avoid frozen foods, try to buy all your food fresh. Drink anything that doesn't have calories and avoid fried foods. Cooking oil is your diets enemy. The only oil I ever use is olive oil, I use it for everything. I know you can't stir-fry with olive oil, but canola oil is good for high heat.
If you want to know how many calories your body needs, you can find that on the internet. Just search "How many calories do I need?"and you'll find a dozen websites that will calculate that for you.
Americans are used to eating twice the calories we should. It's not that hard to lose weight, the only reason people regain the lost weight is because they return to their old lifestyle. You want to adopt a new lifestyle to lose your body fat and never look back. Over time, the fat will disappear and you'll be a new person who will be happier than even.
