20 POUNDS?

HOW LONG DOES IT REALLY TAKE TO LOSE

Is it realistic to lose twenty pounds in a month?

It’s entirely possible, but it’s not healthy. If you lose weight rapidly on a crash diet or caloric deprivation, you risk losing muscle mass with the weight, which would wreak havoc on your metabolism.

Does losing twenty pounds make a difference in appearance?

Your clothes may begin to feel looser, and most people will notice. It’s important to keep in mind that eating well and making good decisions for your health are the most important things you can do — weight loss is simply a bonus!

Here are just a few ways your body may benefit from losing 5-10% of your body weight if you’re clinically overweight:

– Increased energy and vitality – Decrease insulin resistance and reduce A1C numbers – Improvements in good cholesterol (HDL) by about 5 points, also lowering the risk of heart disease
