Is there a quick fix? May be yes, but not for most…

Fat loss at a very fast rate is technically possible but not many can tolerate the hunger, unfailingly stick to low calories and still manage to perform the high levels of exercises required. If at some point of time, you cave in and start binging, you would put on all the weight you lost and then some more – this would be true even when a very aggressive phase of dieting gets over.

Therefore it makes sense to go the moderate way and make slow but steady lifestyle changes. Aim at losing around 0.5 Kg of pure fat every week, and retaining your muscle mass all the while.

0.5 kg per week works out to 26 kgs in a year and that is indeed a huge fat loss. Now do you think that is slow or astonishing? And since you do not gain 26 kgs of fat overnight, you should not be expecting to lose it that fast either. So, the pursuing a quick fix for fat loss is worse than fat itself…
