Please note that our organism doesn’t work as a balloon that we can inflate or deflate as we please. Losing weight, especially through very restrictive and short term diets, cannot lead to something else but to a very high organism disequilibrium, and, to make matters worse, pounds lost do not necessarily refer to the excess fat from your body.

Our body disposes of 125 000 calories stocked as: 80-85% in our fat reserves and the rest is in blood, liver, muscles etc. All of this reserve can be used by our body and can assure a 40 days survival without any alimentary additions (we would only need water).

Just by drinking water, for 3 weeks, let’s say, can only lead to a 18-24 pounds, from which only 4-10 pounds are fat! Why? Because our organism loses water first, then muscular mass and than fat.

This is why losing weight from through extreme measures is not a correct method, realised most of the time by dehydration and simply muscles melting, whereas our goal is to lose FAT. This can only be obtained by maintaining a hypo caloric diet for a long period of time (at least a 3 months).

Every lost kilogram of fat means a 7000 kcal economy, and the daily restriction cannot be more than 500-800kcal, so, the correct manner of losing 1 kg would be in 7 to 10 days.

And the above cannot be repeated every time, as the danger of the yo-yo effects
