Why is it harmful to lose weight quickly? Nutritionists have explained how fast you should lose weight

It is generally accepted that rapid weight loss is a good thing for those who want to lose weight.

Unfortunately, this opinion is wrong. Because there is a certain method of losing weight, which provides for a strictly specific speed of getting rid of kilos per week.

It doesn't just exist for no reason. Everything is based on the benefits for the body.

If, say, a certain limit of weekly calorie loss is exceeded, then your body will not praise you for your Stakhanovite plans; on the contrary, it may rebel.

Nutritionists recommend losing about one percent of your body weight per week. And that's with an active weight loss regimen.

At the same time, each person has a different pace, since everything is tied to the individual characteristics of the body.

Some people may lose weight faster, while others, on the contrary, shed excess weight a little more slowly.

However, many experts agree that extremely rapid weight loss has no health benefits and, in some cases, can be harmful.

This raises a logical question: how many kilos is it not recommended to lose in seven days?

Nutritionists answer: it depends on the weight at which the active weight loss process starts.

For example, if the count starts from more than a hundred kilograms, then it is optimal to stick to the norm of minus 2-3 kilos per week.

If a person weighing only 65 kg decides to lose weight (this happens), then he should not lose more than 1 kilogram per week.

Exceeding these norms can lead to health problems.
