“How to lose weight quickly” is perhaps one of the most common queries entered into search engines.

Rapid weight loss is indeed possible: the only question is how the weight loss will occur and whether the results will be maintained.

With rapid weight loss, in addition to fatty tissue, which usually decreases by no more than 4 kilograms per month, there is a loss of water and muscle mass.

And when you lose some muscle, your metabolism slows down.

Of course, people with excess weight can lose 4 kilograms per month due to fat mass. If a girl who weighs 60 kilograms wants to see the number "54" on the scale, then her body will "agree" to give up fat mass no faster than two kilograms per month.

It is also worth remembering that each person understands the concept of “fast” in their own way.

For one, the plan is to lose 2-4 kilograms per month, which is equal to the physiological norm, while for another it is enough to lose a kilogram per month.

Finally, when discussing the topic of rapid weight loss, one cannot help but say a few words about safety.

Rapid weight loss can lead to negative consequences, such as rapid weight gain and an increased risk of gallstones and urolithiasis.
