How long does it take you to lose weight?

Answer 1

Impossible to say.

Unless you control your eating you may NEVER lose weight through exercise.

For weight loss the trouble is that calories are so much faster eaten than used up.

If you're overeating it's close to impossible to work out hard enough and long enough to lose weight through that alone.

A single cupcake over your daily calorie allowance can easily take one hour to burn off, and even then you're only back to square one. To lose anything that day you'd need to keep going.

So any serious attempt at weight loss pretty much has to start with controlling your intake.

It also depends on what you do.

Weight/strength training usuallty doesn't provide that much of a steady elevated heart rate so by the hour weight/strength training won't burn as many calories as cardio exercises like cycling, rowing, running etc.

Basically all forms of exercise that gets you equally sweaty and winded for the same amount of time will burn the same amount of fat/calories.

If diet and exercise leaves you at a 500 cal deficiency a day, you should lose 3-4 lb/week, which would be visible within a few weeks.

Answer 2

If dieting safely, it will take about a week to 10 days to notice a weight loss. Only 1 to 2 pounds a week should be lost if following dieting safety guidelines. It might be up to several weeks before others notice the loss.

Answer 3

Hi.

A lot depends on just how committed you are to losing weight.

I took a hard line on reducing sugar in my diet which started about six months ago, and I lost 6 pounds in the first week, which I was absolutely wrapped with.

That helped me stay motivated, and during the next six weeks (8 weeks in total) I lost 22 pounds. Needless to say I was equally impressed.

Now, six months on, I have lost 34 pounds and I am having no trouble maintaining my low sugar diet.

I 100% recommend giving this method a try as it is healthy, no cost and easy to maintain once you get through the first six weeks.

Good luck

Answer 4

As soon as you start your diet program, then couple of days after you will notice small changes to appear but that is only if you have consumed lesser calories than you required.

However if you don't notice any significant change the next day then don't get discouraged. Just stick to your plan and soon the results will be in front of you. The best way is to check weekly, which will give you a better picture of your dieting results.

Answer 5

It depends on the person. If your heavier you will more than likely loose weight faster than if your skinnier you'll take a while to burn it because you don't have as much fat on you. some doctors say you are only supposed to lose 1-2 lbs a weeks so depending on how much weight you are trying to lose and how aggressive you are with your dieting it can take a while

It is just based on how much you eat and how much you workout.
