When it comes to losing weight, we all want to lose it as fast as possible. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, fast weight loss can be anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Fast weight loss (at a safe rate) is 1-2 pounds per week, or 1% of your body weight. Typically when you first begin a diet plan, you'll lose more weight than the 1-2 pounds per week.
Since you want your time on a diet to be worth while, it's better to lose weight a little more slowly, but be able to keep it off for the long term. Because after all, no one likes to go on a diet. Quick weight loss can actually work against you. If you lose too much weight too fast, your body goes into starvation mode and although you'll lose weight, you'll modify how your body deals with food. So when you finally go back to a "normal" daily menu, you'll gain the weight back.
Here are some of our favorite picks for successful and healthy "fast weight loss."
