One Week in and 4lbs down. I was 7lbs down four days into my first week but a holiday weekend caused me a few problems which I shall address. It would have been nice to have kept off the 7lbs, but I am realistic enough and experienced in enough in the world of diets to understand that the first week always results in a massive loss which I believe results from using up glycogen reserves in the liver. A healthy maximum weight loss is 2lbs per week, a steady rate that will establish itself after three or four weeks of consistent dieting.
WEIGHT LOSS FACT
- An moderately active woman 5′6” (66 inches) tall height and weighing 9 stone (126lbs) needs to consume just under 1940 kCals.
- 3500 Kcal are required to create 1lb of fat.
- If this woman ate nothing at all for one week the maximum weight she would loose is just under 4lbs.
