Diet for rapid weight loss
Rapid weight loss
diet is a type of diet in which you lose more than 2 pounds (1 kilogram, kg) a
week over several weeks. To lose weight this quickly you eat very few calories.
How it Works
These diets are most often for obese people who need to
lose weight quickly because of a health problem. People on these diets should
be followed closely by a health care provider. Rapid weight loss is not safe
for most people to do on their own.
These diets are only to be used for a short time and are
not recommended for more than several weeks. The types of rapid weight loss
diets are described below.
Fad Diets
Some fad diets also severely limit calories to achieve
rapid weight loss. In many cases, these diets are not safe. Once you stop the
diet, you are at risk for regaining the weight if you return to your old eating
habits. For most people, it is safest to choose a diet in which you lose a 1/2
pound to 2 pounds (225 grams to 1 kg) a week.
The Role of
Exercise
Rapid weight loss is more about cutting calories than
exercising. Talk with your provider about what type of exercise you should do
while you are on this type of diet. Your provider may suggest waiting until you
are on a more long-term diet to start exercising.
