Losing One Pound Per Day - Is This Possible?

Is losing one pound per day really possible? With all the diets popping out promising to get faster results in the shortest time possible, a lot of people have been drawn to the idea of losing weight the fastest and easiest way possible and the result varies from person to person.

In order to lose one pound a person must have a deficit of 3500 calories, so if you are trying to lose one pound per day you should burn 3500 more calories than what you consume. A person's metabolic rate determines the rate at which the body burns calories.

So, if you consume 2500 calories you should burn 6000 calories a day to lose one pound, sounds impossible to achieve. Even if you eat nothing you will not be able to burn that much calories without jeopardizing your health since the body will go to starvation mode (a state which the body responds to unhealthy low caloric intake levels). When this happens the body uses lean tissues and muscle to conserve fat reserves called catabolic damage.

There's a way a person can lose weight fast, it is by losing "water weight". The human body contains a significant amount of water. A lean muscle tissue contains 75% water and the blood contains about 95%. But keep in mind that losing too much water can cause dehydration and not to mention electrolyte imbalance which is very detrimental to one's health and may cause death.

Although many products are out in the market claiming that it can help to block calories so the body cannot use them it is still not scientifically possible to be able to lose a pound a day without causing adverse side effects to your health.

Experts say that the ideal rate to lose weight is 2 pounds per week, the slower the weight loss the better. Losing more than the ideal rate could be very dangerous. Having stated these facts clearly lead us to a conclusion that losing one pound per day is impossible since it will result to numerous health hazards that might be the cause of one's death.
