What do people normally do when they try to lose weight? They would starve themselves and start jogging. This is not going to work! Instead you should burn fat with the right exercise and healthy diet.
What are the consequences of a starvation diet?
A starvation diet is when the calories intake is too low: 1200 calories for women and 1800 calories for men.
When the body sense that there are lower than normal caloric intake, the fat cells sound the alarm and decrease the release of Leptin, a hormone that controls fat metabolism, tells the brain you are full. When Leptin level decrease, the appetite goes out of control and makes you feel hungry and you want to eat more.
Reduced Leptin level causes Lipase (fat burning enzyme) to decrease and slow down fat burning.
Starvation diet reduces the energy level in the body. But maintaining muscle in the body requires energy. So, the body loses muscle mass due to the lack of energy to maintain it.
What is an effective weight loss program?
The most effective way is to reduce calories slightly and increase activities level.
A small caloric reduction will not trigger the starvation diet response. The amount of calories reduction depends on the body size, the amount of lean body mass, activity level, age and gender. Generally, reduce calories intake by about 20% is safe.
Increase activities level to burn fat and calories. To reduce 1 lb of fat, the body needs to burn 3500 calories. So, if you burn 500 calories a day, you can reduce body fat by 1 lb a week. Losing 1-2 lb of fat a week is safe. In one month, you can lose 4 lb / 1.8 kg of fat which can equate to losing your body weight.
Put some planning into how are you going to take off 500 calories/day or 3500 calories /week. You may reduce 250 calories (20%) from food and at the same time burn 250 calories from exercise every day.
If you unable to exercise enough during the weekday, make use of the weekend to increase the activities level in order compensate, so that you can achieve the 3500 calories per week target. Check out how much calories burn of difference exercise.
Doing circuit training is an efficient way to burn fat within a short amount of time spent during the training. You can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. This will protect you from losing your muscle in a caloric reduced diet.
Cut out foods that contain most amount of calories and saturated fats:
- Replace fizzy drinks with water and green tea
- Change whole milk to skimmed milk or better still soya milk
- Cut down unhealthy treats such as biscuits, potato chips, cakes and pastries
- Cut down beers and alcohols.
- Replace deep-fried food with steam, boiled and roast.
- Feed the muscle with more lean protein and go for foods that burn fat.
There is no one magic pill or easy way to lose fat. You have to be determined and persevere. And when you succeed, you will feel a million times better. You got to try it to believe.

I have noticed an error in the conversion of the pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg). It was written 4 lb / 8.8 kg in the article although it should have written something like 4lb / 1.8 kg. 1lb weigh less than a kg.

Hi Ahmet Devaci,
I stand corrected. You are right! 1 lb is 0.453kg. So, 4 lb should be1.8kg. Thanks for the correction!
That’s what they all say but true fitness only comes with proper diet, correct exercise and most of all proper rest. Blending those three together will really make something great for those who want to lose their weight with ease.
water weight loss
Yes, my brother use to be chunky & only by skating he loosed weight. but you are only 13 you will finally grow & all that additional weight will go away. walking is better for you, skateboarding would not do the same amount walking would. I would stick to walking.
Walking is an excellent exercise. I prefer walking too and do brisk walks rather than jogs. However, the key is remain active. So, if your brother likes skateboarding, it is still better than sitting on the couch and watch TV or play computer games the whole day.
Walking is a good form of exercise. It is easy to do as it is low impact medium intensity. I prefer to walk than jog. It is good that your brother is into some form of activities rather than sitting on a couch watch TV or playing computer games. As long as he is active he is fine.

Weight training is the ultimate way to burn calories

calories you burn while sitting on your butt.

This is really easy to understanding post about the starvation diet and I really like this idea about the weight loss. But by doing this we also loose muscle fat little bit.
HI Jackson,
You are right to be concern about losing lean muscle during a weight loss program. That is the reason why it is so important that you do not simply starve. In fact, you can lose weight on a calorie diet. But the calorie should be coming from nutritious food rather than junk.
Informative post. You have made really some good points in
this post. I appreciate your writing skills. Its good. Keep it up.

Hi Guys!
These are great weight loss tips. But for me the best guide for weight loss which really made the change was: http://bit.ly/LoseWeightEnjoyLife
I have been trying to find one good guide for my wife, which will guide me as to how to go on the long road to a slim body, because the tips you see here are bound to be countered on other websites, which causes much confusion.
But finally, 2 months ago, I found that guide. And after rigorous hard-work which my wife put in, I can proudly say that my wife has lost 39lbs! She says that it feels great to be so slim again, and believe me she looks a stunner now!
So, to all those still trying to lose weight, that guide is for you!
Very informative article! Thanks also for sharing some tips.
