Why I keep losing weight?


Why a person tends to drop almost all the weight in the first week of a diet to lose weight?

If we start with a diet that has a significant caloric deficit for example 1000kcal/day almost 4 days descend 500grs body fat. However, the weight loss will be faster during the first few days, possibly from 4lbs to 5lbs. But it happens that most of that weight we have lost due to a decrease in carbohydrates and lower body water reserves. As we are in a hypocaloric diet that is low in calories the body take the reserves to meet nutritional needs. These reserves consist of both fat and carbohydrates. About 70% of the weight loss during the first days of a hypocaloric diet is due to a decrease in body water. About 25% comes from body fat reserves and 5% of tissue protein. As the body uses protein for energy, the excess nitrogen excreted and this needs to increase water production as very low calorie diet (calorie) can lead to a significant loss of muscle tissue as balanced diets with reduced 500kcal/day preserved body protein help you lose weight properly. When we follow a reduced calorie diet or low calorie and see who got off a significant number of weight in the range of 4lbs to 5lbs per day in our first week is not because we lost body fat or lean mass (muscle) but there a change in body water (decrease) that accompanies the loss of body protein and carbohydrates.


Solution:Follow our advice and meal plans do not follow low-calorie diets that claim very quick weight loss, because they are in addition to diets that are dangerous. when we get back to eating normally regain lost weight or twice.
