It will take 10 weeks (2 ½ months) of doing the above to lose 1 pound. However, before the 10 weeks are up, more than likely, you will get discouraged by the lack of weight loss. You will stop watching what you eat and stop exercising. You will then gain weight until you decide to lose weight and you will go back to the same routine.
So Why Can’t You Lose Those 10 or 20 Pounds?
It is not because your metabolism is slowing down. It is not because you are not exercising enough. The reason you can’t lose those 10 or 20 pounds is because you are depriving your body of what it needs–food. You’re starving yourself and placing your body in panic mode. Instead of depriving yourself you should be eating and drinking anything you want. If you were to feed your body the proper amounts you would not be hungry.
Additionally, you probably believe the exercise you do allows you the freedom to eat as much as you want. But exercise is not some magical thing that will melt away the pounds. Exercise is great to keep your body healthy. However, you need to pair exercise with a food component for it to work at helping you lose weight.
To lose weight you must always consume less food than you burn, regardless of whether you exercise or not. And the only way to always consume less food is to never be hungry. Why, because if you are not hungry there is no way you will overeat. Eat + Drink ≈ Anything helps you do all of these things and we do it for free. So start losing those 10 or 20 pounds once and for all. Get Started Now.
