Do you believe that it is possible to lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks? Of course it is, you could even lose up to 40 pounds in 3 weeks. The question is: Do you want your weight to stay at 20 pounds less? Or is it more of a temporary weight loss you want?

In this article you'll learn more about how to achieve a consistent weight loss in a safe and healthy way.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you should not lose more than 1-2 pounds every week and that is also what your body can handle.

Is it ridiculous to think that you could lose 21 pounds in 3 weeks? No, but it is ridiculous to think that you could lose 20 pounds of fat in 21 days. See the difference?
Weight loss is easy to achieve but is not healthy. Why? Because you lose lean muscle mass in the process and you also lose lots of water.

A successful dieter changes a lot of things, she does not only go on a diet. She changes attitudes and understand that exercise is an important part of weight loss. Cardio exercising and weight lifting are two types of exercise that will help you keep your muscle and still burn the fat. If you go on a diet without exercising you burn more muscle than fat.

So now you know that exercising is vital to be a successful dieter.

It is also important to change your calorie intake (No, it is not the time to starve). Actually you should only reduce your calorie intake by 5-10%. It is more important to change the sort of calories you eat. Our daily calorie intake comes from:

Proteins: Proteins are the building blocks in your body. Most tissues in your body are replaced with new tissue every three month, some tissues are replaced every week. That is important to know and a diet needs to have enough proteins to allow new tissues to be built.

Fat: Fat is also essential. Fat is used for energy in your body. An important fact about fat is that it slows down the metabolism of carbohydrates and thus keeps your blood sugar and insulin levels at reasonable levels. This is important if you want to burn fat in an effective way.

Carbohydrates: Also known as carbs. Carbs are used as energy in your body, carbs are the premium fuel. There are several different kinds of carbohydrates and some are 'bad' while dieting and some are 'good'. There are several diets recommending that you stay of carbs all together but it's not a way to get a durable weight loss. Once you introduce the carbs again your blood suger will spike and increase the rate that fat stores in cells.

The sum of this is that there are not two people alike and nor is there working diets that suits everybody. Weight loss in theory is complex but losing weight is easy. Do it the right way and you'll feel better while losing weight and once lost it is gone.
