How many kilos should you lose per week? Many times, people resort to restrictive diets that make them lose weight quickly, but unhealthily.

A healthy weight loss is between 500 grams and one kilo of body fat per week, which you will see reflected in your abdomen and hips.

Keep in mind that losing one clothing size is equivalent to about three kilos of body fat less. Some people find it easier than others; however, the reality is that you just need discipline and willpower to achieve your goals.

Goodbye restrictive diets!

A very restrictive diet –for a long time– can be counterproductive in the future, because the metabolism slows down. Therefore, there should be a strategy to reactivate it with low-calorie density foods.

“Your body, due to the “aggression” you are subjecting it to, decides to burn fewer calories to keep you alive, which results in a greater accumulation of body fat when you return to your usual diet. What we call “rebound.”

Forget about rebound!

Rebound is basically a relapse. It’s not that by “magic” you regain the lost weight or even gain more once you finish your meal plan.

What happens is that when you start eating as you did before, your body decides to store more fat in the body to protect itself from being deprived of food in the future.

To avoid rebound, you should consult a nutrition specialist who does not prescribe appetite suppressants or any kind of pills, and learn to eat the right amounts for you.

Remember that there are no good or bad foods, only good and bad decisions regarding quantity and quality.

Get active!

Exercise is the key to maintaining the figure you seek. Only 10% of people who lose weight solely through diet keep it off. Meanwhile, those who lose weight through a combination of both and create a new lifestyle do not have to “suffer” for their size again.

Better to have a lasting pace than a tiring sprint! Be patient, disciplined, and always keep in mind what you will do when you finally see and feel as you have always desired.
