Weight loss

Weight loss is when a person weighs less than before. A person can lose weight by running, swimming or doing any other activity. Also, a person might eat a healthier diet to lose weight. There are many diet and exercises programs available to lose weight. Many people lose weight when they eat less sugar and more vegetables, fruits and lean meat.

Weight loss can happen for different reasons

• Health related - losing weight because of sickness like flu and fever, or even more serious like cancer and HIV.
• Exercise related - when weight loss is caused by using more energy than you provide to your body - this will end up in burning your reserves - fat.
• Diet related - by lowering the energy intake or some part of diet causing fat to be burned.

In many countries weight loss is caused by sociological pressure mostly on woman to have slim and fit figure.

Your body also burns calories while you sleep.

Several studies found similar results. The comparison between dieting and exercising found both resulted in weight loss.

How fast to lose weight?

If you are trying to lose weight, you might think that losing it quickly is a good idea. But people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. Healthy weight loss isn’t just about a “diet” or “program”. It’s about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits.
