Amari Cooper visited with the media on Tuesday for the first time in this training camp, and the four-time Pro Bowl receiver used the phrase, "to be completely candid'' - which is unnecessary, because he always is that.

"I'm close to 100 percent,'' the Dallas Cowboys star said. "I wouldn't say I'm quite 100 percent yet, to be completely candid. But I'm real close. I can do everything, maybe a little better, just because I've been rehabbing so hard."

Yes, Cooper is always candid. And as long as we're being honest, Amari is "always'' something else, too: He's always a bit dinged up, or worse, as is the case right now as he remains on PUP while rehabbing his way back from a nagging ankle issue resulting from an offseason surgery.

Of course, then comes Sunday. And anybody in the Cowboys family, from team executive to fan, knows what happens then: Since being traded in 2018 by the Raiders to Dallas, Cooper has 224 catches and 3,028 yards in 41 career games for the Cowboys. He's totaled 1,000 or more yards in five of his six seasons. And even last year, Cooper, managed tofinish with 92 catches for 1,114 yards while his QB Dak Prescott, himself out in Week 5, was an observer.

"The way I look at it is like 1,000 yards is like the it's just OK," Cooper said. "But anything after that is like the gravy, you know? I want the gravy."

This year's "gravy'' will come with Cooper having slimmed down considerably. One issue is the surgery and rehab;"Because my foot was jammed up and not as flexible, I didn't really feel the other injury I had in my bone, the inflammation in my bone," he said. "But when they took the spurs out, my ankle got more flexible and I was able to really feel that injury, from what I understand."

The other issue is fitness, something coach Mike McCarthy has raved about in Cooper's case. And Amari is confirming that, saying he usually plays at 225 pounds, but, "I'm 215 now, I'm going to try to play at 210.''

He thinks he'll be so fast and quick, he joked, that, "You might not even be able to see me running."

Cooper, like Prescott and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (just off PUP) won't be a part of things in Canton on Thursday when the Cowboys oppose the Steelers in the Hall of Fame preseason game. But he promises his debut is coming, all in preparation for Week 1 at Tampa.

"I'm just trying to be the best Amari Cooper that I can be, trying to be better than I've ever been," he said."I've been talking to myself a lot lately about how I want this year to be different than any other year that I've played football."

Amari Injury Update: Cowboys WR Losing Weight But Wants 'The Gravy' - Yardbarker

Any diet that has you eating fewer than 1,200 calories is a very-low-calorie diet and carries risks for your weight and health.

Want to lose a lot of weight and fast? You might be tempted to drastically slash your calorie intake. But going too low isn't good for your body, and it can actually backfire.

Calories, of course, are the energy we get from food. Your body needs them to function, but taking in too many can ultimately cause your weight to go up. Cutting back, on the other hand, is a key step toward bringing your weight down. When you take in fewer calories than your body needs for energy, it's forced to make up the difference by burning stored fat. Over time, that adds up to pounds lost, according to the Mayo Clinic.

There's a sweet spot, though. While a moderate amount of calories can lead to healthy, sustainable weight loss, very-low-calorie diets can leave you feeling lousy and put your health at risk. And they're not the best at helping you lose weight long-term, either.

So how low is too low, and what can happen when you dip below that threshold? Here's a look at the downsides of extreme low-calorie diets, plus how to lose weight in a lasting way that feels good.

Whats Considered a Low-Calorie Diet?

It's generally recommended that people assigned female at birth avoid eating fewer than 1,200 calories per day and people assigned male at birth avoid eating fewer than 1,500 calories per day when trying to lose weight, according to Harvard Health Publishing. Getting at least that many calories helps reduce the chances for a nutritional deficiency and potential health problems that can come from eating too little.

Experts like Lisa Young, PhD, RDN, author of Finally Full, Finally Slim and adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University, agree. "I advise that people not eat fewer than 1,200 calories," she says.

That said, there are some cases where it could make sense to eat less. Very-low-calorie diets, or what weight-loss experts call VLC diets or VLCDs, for short, involve eating fewer than 800 calories per day, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Usually, they're only meant for people with a very high body mass index who are experiencing a weight-loss plateau (meaning their weight loss has stalled).

VLCDs are often liquid diets that are designed by experts to deliver maximal nutrition for minimal calories. They're only meant to be used for short periods, and they need to be medically supervised to make sure they're done safely, the NIH says. You shouldn't try a very-low-calorie diet without talking to your doctor first.

Do Low-Calorie Diets Work for Weight Loss?

Just because a diet helps you lose weight doesn't mean it's healthy.

Even though experts generally recommend steering clear of diets that dip below 1,200 calories, there are still plenty of plans that encourage eating less. Diets like the Optifast diet, cabbage soup diet, low-calorie keto diet or 1,000-calorie diet plans you find online might promise big results fast.

But eating plans that recommend eating fewer than 1,200 calories per day tend to fall into crash diet territory. In other words, they might help you lose some weight in the short term, but they're not sustainable.

"Food is fuel and gives you energy," Young explains. "When you eat too little, you are hungry and tired and don't have the energy to do your required tasks."

In fact, people who crash-diet tend to have a harder time maintaining their weight loss in the long term, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Which, if you think about it, makes a lot of sense. If you're always hungry and tired from not eating enough, chances are you'll eventually ditch the diet and start eating more calories. And when that happens, you could end up regaining the weight you lost.

As for VLCDs? They can help people with severe obesity lose a lot of weight quickly. According to the Encyclopedia of Applied Physiology, following a very-low-calorie diet can help someone with obesity lose up to 25 percent of their body weight within 16 weeks. But again, these massive losses aren't always sustainable, and many people struggle with regaining the weight once the VLCD ends.

9 Health Risks of Low-Calorie Diets

Low-calorie diets aren't just hard to keep up. They can actually get in the way of lasting weight loss and could even lead to serious health problems. These include:

Taking in too few calories can send the body into survival mode, where it actually slows down calorie-burning in an effort to hang onto whatever body fat it can, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND).

That can actually make it harder to lose weight and over time, it even puts you at risk for gaining weight, Young says. "If someone continues to follow low-calorie or restrictive diets, it gets worse, and your metabolism can remain sluggish," she says.

The body uses calories from food for energy to carry out basic functions, from breathing to digesting food to pumping blood, the AND says. So if you're consistently taking in much less than you need, you'll likely start to feel a little weak or worn out.

You might find yourself feeling dizzy or lightheaded, too, because not eating enough can lead to dehydration and low blood sugar.

3. Low Energy for Exercise

If your body barely has enough energy for basic functions, chances are you'll have a hard time making it through a workout. Drastic calorie cuts signal hormonal changes that encourage your body to limit its energy expenditure as much as possible, says nutrition expert Georgie Fear, RD, author of Lean Habits for Lifelong Weight Loss.

Even if you do finish your sweat session, your body will have fought to hold onto as many calories as possible instead of burning them for energy like normal. Slashing your calories too low actually forces your muscles to become more efficient, "which means your movement burns fewer calories than it would if you were in energy balance," Fear explains.

When the body gets fewer calories than it needs, it makes up the difference by taking extra energy from stored fat (a form of ketosis). The problem? It can take energy from muscle tissue too.

"The hormones that signal your fat cells to break down also work on muscle cells," Fear explains. "Muscle cells also receive the signal to free up energy by breaking down and releasing energy from protein stored within."

Muscle loss isn't good in general, but it's especially bad news if you're trying to lose weight or even maintain a weight loss because muscle burns more calories than fat (aka supports a healthy metabolism).

5. Nutritional Deficiencies

When you take in calories, you're also taking in nutrients like vitamins, minerals and fiber, according to the AND. Cutting your calories very low makes it harder to get all of the nutrients you need, setting the stage for possible deficiencies that could affect your health.

Not getting enough calcium over time, for example, could increase the risk for osteoporosis and hip fractures, according to the AND.

Gallstones are hardened bile deposits that form in the gallbladder. They don't always cause symptoms, but they can be painful, and the only way to treat them is to have them removed surgically, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Gallstones are more likely to form when someone loses weight very quickly, like on a low-calorie diet. Experts don't fully understand why, but it seems that rapid weight loss causes changes to the way the body metabolizes fat, which can trigger these stones, according to the Obesity Action Coalition.

Many of us associate feelings of nausea with overeating, but it can also happen when you don't eat enough. Acid can build up in an empty stomach, which can create a sensation of nausea, according to the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders.

Nausea's a common side effect of gallstones too. And over time, certain nutrition deficiencies like too little vitamin B12 can affect the digestive tract and make you feel nauseated, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

8. Constipation or Diarrhea

Like nausea, there are a number of reasons why low-calorie diets can cause problems in the poop department. Eating too little fiber or not getting enough liquid can both lead to constipation, according to the Mayo Clinic. And falling short on vitamins like B12 can lead to either constipation or diarrhea, the NHLBI notes.

9. Unsustainable Weight Loss

Most people have a hard time sticking with low-calorie diets for long. Something like a 700-calorie-a-day diet, for example, is just too restrictive to keep up with.

"The combination of physical discomfort, having to use a great deal of restraint to resist eating and missing out on favorite foods are costs most people become unwilling to pay sooner or later," Fear says.

And when you ditch the restrictive diet and start taking in more calories, chances are the weight that you lost will pile back on.

How to Calculate Your Calories for Weight Loss

People trying to lose weight should eat about 500 fewer calories per day, according to the Mayo Clinic. (As long as that doesn't put you below the minimum calories mark.) That will add up to about 1 pound lost per week.

The results won't be as fast or dramatic as what you'd get from a crash diet, but the slow-and-steady approach will up your chances for keeping the weight off long term and keeping your health intact while you're at it.

Not sure how many calories you should be eating to lose weight? You can calculate exactly what your body needs by measuring a few key numbers. These include your:

These numbers are based on factors like your height, weight, age and sex, along with your daily activity level. Once you know how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, you can subtract 500 to get your weight-loss calories.

To make things a bit easier, you can use a calorie calculator like LIVESTRONG.com's MyPlate app, which will do the math for you.

Healthy Diets to Try Instead of VLCDs

The Mediterranean diet can help with weight loss and could improve your overall health, too.

The most sustainable diets for successful weight loss include at least 1,200 calories per day, emphasize a variety of nutritious foods and don't make particular foods off-limits.

"It's important to include a balance of carbs, protein and fat, and don't avoid a particular nutrient because it's in style," Young says. (We're looking at you, low-calorie ketogenic diet.)

Fear recommends focusing on small ways to curb your calorie intake that don't leave you feeling deprived. "Think boosting the veggies and reducing the amount of pasta in your favorite dish, or choosing leaner cuts of meat instead of fattier ones," she says. "Being consistent with a small deficit over several months produces more weight loss than a large calorie deficit for a few days here or there."

If you think a specific diet would help you stay on track, consider a plant-heavy eating plan like the Mediterranean diet or the DASH eating plan. Both emphasize fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins, and encourage you to stick with limited portions of saturated fats and sugar (but neither have to be totally off-limits).

Not only can plans like DASH or the Med diet be satisfying and easier to stick with long-term, they have a proven track record when it comes to better health. According to the NIH, DASH diets combined with exercise can lower blood pressure and help you achieve a healthier weight. And a 2016 review in the The American Journal of Medicine concluded that Mediterranean-style diets are just as effective as more drastic diets for weight loss, helping people lose an average of 22 pounds in a year.

Diets under 1,200 calories generally aren't a good option for weight loss: They're hard to stick with, and they can come with health consequences.

You'll lose weight in a healthier way by cutting about 500 calories from your daily diet and aiming to lose 1 pound per week.

If you have obesity and think that a very-low-calorie diet could help you lose weight, talk with your doctor to develop a medically supervised plan that's both nutritionally complete and safe.

A jogger has shared a fitness hack that will help you stay in shape and lose weight fast - and with just a little work you can do it too.

TikTok star Dean Scott shared the advice with his followers, saying that if you follow his tips you will be able to run for miles and miles, burning fat the whole time.

He said the key is to stay below your maximum aerobic function heart rate, or MAF for short, which can be figured out by using a simple formula.

Dean said that if you stay below this level, you can run for hours without getting tired, adding that it's the way that humans are supposed to run.

Explaining the formula, Dean said: "I always hated running, I was asthmatic from the age of 4 to 30, I'm 41 this year.

"If you want to learn how to run as far as you want to run, take the number 180, minus your age from that number, and the number you're left with is your maximum aerobic heart rate number.

"Now using a fitness tracker watch with a heart rate monitor you're never going to go beyond this number when you go for a run. That means when you run, you never lose your aerobic maximum heart rate.

"Running at this level is always fun, it's always manageable, and it's never exhausting - it's the way humans are designed to run.

"When you run like this, you literally burn body fat the entire way round as you don't go anaerobic.

"I'd also recommend getting some minimalist or drop type shoes so you can allow your natural body mechanics to come into play so you can run in a more natural fashion."

Pioneered by Dr Phil Maffetone, the MAF method is described as key for long-distance runners.

On his website, he wrote: "The heart rate is a direct reflection of the bodys oxygen need. The relationship between one heartbeat and the next is associated with heart rate variability, which reflects parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) function.

"This is an important factor that professionals can use to assess heart health, and for athletes to evaluate recovery from training and racing."

Keto and Intermittent Fasting: Distinction Of Ketosis Diet! - L.A. Weekly

About 42% of Americans reported unwanted weight gain during the coronavirus pandemic, packing on an extra 29 pounds on average, according to survey results from the American Psychological Association.

Changes in daily routine, combined with the added stress of navigating a global health emergency, caused many adults to fall away from their healthy eating and fitness habits, and turn toward less-desirable comfort foods.

Dr. Geri Williams, supervising doctor for Ideal You Health Centers, called it the perfect storm for weight gain.

When we feel stressed, we naturally create higher levels of cortisol and when its elevated, our body is primed for movement, our blood sugar goes up and if were not running it off it stores as fat, she said. So stress alone can make us fatter.

Another thing we do is we get rid of stress by eating ... so stress from changes in lifestyle and all the unknowables created the perfect storm and we made food choices that were not heathy.

With the help of widely available vaccines, COVID-19 cases counts are on the decline and the economy -- along with daily life -- is regaining a sense of normalcy. As a result, many are starting their efforts to regain old healthy habits or begin new ones.

Williams noted a handful of strategies that can help you not just reach your goals, but maintain the lifestyle choices to keep the positive gains. They include:

Another important recommendation is to avoid eating after dark. Williams said the bodys internal clock is typically directed by daylight, meaning during the day the body is designed to look for, eat and digest food and to move around.

Meanwhile, at night, the body undergoes a hormone shift and prepares for rest and repair.

Were hungry and were eating at a time when our body isnt designed to be digesting, Williams said. Food regularly consumed after sunset is generally stored as fat. Simply changing that habit could have a huge impact on people, and that includes alcohol too.

Adding exercise to your daily routine can be beneficial in several ways, including improved strength and circulation. Its valuable for improving your overall health, but Williams noted, When it comes to weight loss, it doesnt tend to cause scale movement as much as the focus on food does.

That notion was echoed by Carrie Holland, a family physician and professor at Michigan State University, who also works as a health and life coach through her business, My Why Fitness.

Exercise and nutrition are both important but for totally different reasons, Holland said. My philosophy is dont use exercise for weight loss; use it for mental health benefits.

The nutrition piece, she said, is the hardest part to implement. Unhealthy eating and drinking can be a coping mechanism for more challenging issues to work through like the anxiety, fear, anger and disappointment that many have felt throughout the pandemic.

But it will also make the biggest difference, Holland said. How do you stop over-eating? .... These habits we developed are now autopilot and to undo it, you have to wake up that part of your brain and pay attention to what youre doing and why. When you reach into the pantry for a bag of chips, ask yourself Why am I doing this? Am I really hungry or is it out of habit?

A lot of Hollands work with her clients in recent months has been not just discussing what are better foods to buy at the grocery store, but discussing the link between mental and physical health.

A lot of diets and exercise plans focus on action -- do this and youll lose weight, she said. What I spend time working on is the thoughts and feelings. It all starts with our brains and if youre not thinking and feeling the right way, it doesnt matter if youre doing the right things, it wont happen.

Some of Hollands tips for developing healthier habits include:

While conditions during the pandemic created opportunity for weight gain, obesity isnt a new challenge for Michigan. In 2015, about 31% of adults in Michigan were obese and 35% were overweight.

The state ranked 32nd in obesity in 2018, reporting slightly higher rates than the national average, according to a federal health survey.

In the third part of our midlife series, we put your health questions to the experts. Do you have a health question? Click here to ask our panel.

I'm a 49-year-old woman and I know that metabolism slows with age. But what Ive noticed is that Ive lost my snap back. If I gained weight in the past or needed to lose a few pounds for a wedding, I would eat well for a week and my stomach would flatten and the pounds would drop off. That just doesnt happen anymore.

When we reach midlife, things start to change and, unfortunately, it becomes a lot harder to lose weight. Our hormones become depleted. We lose muscle mass. Our metabolism slows and we need fewer calories. Joints and bones ache. Unwanted bulges appear.

The scary part is, the heavier we become, the less likely we are to want to move and so begins the vicious circle of weight gain, less exercise, more weight gain, even less exercise.

So far, so depressing. But while the natural loss of muscle mass can make it more challenging to manage our weight (muscle uses more calories than fat), it doesn't mean that achieving weight loss is impossible as we reach our late 40s and beyond, says weight-loss expert Louise Parker.

Going about it sustainably and safely will bring about the most benefit for overall health and wellbeing, whatever age we are. It is important to focus on realistic changes that you can integrate into your routines, she says.

Alongside being mindful about portion sizes and eating habits, the type of physical activity we engage in is important also.

Parker suggests resistance activities, such as using weights, are especially important to both preserve and build muscle mass, and you should aim to incorporate two days of resistance training, in which some force is exerted upon your muscle whether that be through free-weights, equipment, resistance bands or your own body weight every week.

The evidence shows that fast walking for thirty minutes each day could reduce the risk of heart disease and lead to approximately 7kg (15lb) weight loss in 12 months, she adds.

Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week (such as 30 mins, five days per week) to maximise your day to day movement. Weight loss may be more gradual once we reach our late forties. The key is to focus on the small, daily shifts to your habits to bring you closer to your goal instead of a quick-fix. Its all about consistency over severity.

Dr Sabine Donnai, founder and chief executive of Viavi, agrees that the focus of your exercise routine should change from mainly cardiovascular exercise to weight training to ensure to keep and even grow your overall muscle mass. The key to maintaining weight as we age is maintaining and increasing your muscle mass, she says. Most women shy away from weight training and body fat gain is the inevitable result.

Ive managed to get my weight down to 12stone 5lbs from 14stone with exercise and diet. Im 57 and I would say I have medium to large bone structure. I am aiming to get down to around 11stone 6lb, which is a healthy weight for my height, but Im struggling to lose the last half stone. What would you suggest?

First of all, if youve tried to lose weight after the age of 40 but given up after seeing very little reward, youre not alone. Midlife weight loss can feel like mission impossible, so do take a moment to acknowledge what you have accomplished so far.

The measurements you have provided show that you have lost over 10 per cent of your original body weight, which is a clinically significant amount of weight loss, says Parker.

Reflect on the changes you have made to your nutrition, physical activity and overall lifestyle. With regards to losing the last half a stone, it is important to bear in mind that there is a complex interaction of physiological, psychological and environmental factors influencing our weight (many of which are not within our volitional control).

As your overall body mass reduces so does its requirements for energy (this is a process called adaptive thermogenesis). The rate of weight loss that occurred with one approach may naturally appear to slow down or stabilise after some time.

The body is pretty clever and there are biological mechanisms in place that act to counter weight loss as losing weight wouldnt serve us well from a survival and evolutionary perspective, she explains. For example, as we lose weight, the body detects there are fewer fat stores and so more leptin is produced which is our hunger hormone.

There are also signals from the brain to the muscles to conserve energy, which is why we become more efficient at using energy over time, thus burning fewer calories, says Parker.

So whats the solution? Being mindful of food portions and remaining active in general can help to create a negative energy balance, encouraging weight loss, she says.

There is, of course, only so much that we can reduce our calorie intake by.

Are you monitoring your body fat and muscle mass in addition to weight? Sometimes our body composition is changing even if the scales are not. Muscle weighs more than fat and therefore if you have experienced an increase in muscle, this may also influence your overall weight, she adds.

If the scales arent going down, but your clothes feel looser and you feel stronger in your body, this may be an indicator that the scales may not be giving a full reflection of what is taking place behind the scenes.

Make a list of all the ways in which you have progressed each week, before stepping on the scales, to remind yourself of just how far you have come. Progress can be measured in so many other ways besides weight.

Dr Donnai suggests also looking at your thyroid hormone levels, stress, sleep and type of exercise you are focusing on. It is important to remember that we need to eat fats to burn fat and often we focus too much on calorie counting rather than eating what stimulates our metabolism, she says.

Weight training is the most effective exercise to burn body fat but perhaps even more important is how we manage stress and sleep. Very often this is the missing link and the forgotten driver of weight gain that is not looked into. Cortisol, our stress hormone, stimulates abdominal fat storage and so does ineffective sleep.

If there are unmanaged stressors in your life or stimulants after midday such as caffeine, sugar loads and alcohol your sleep quality will be affected, you will not go into good energy recovery mode during the night with the resulting increase of Cortisol and its consequences on weight. Ensuring a peaceful quality night sleep and practising mindfulness meditation or yoga are crucial elements to a successful healthy weight programme, as are of course the correct exercise routine and balanced eating habits.

Ive always been fairly slim and I eat well. But from my early 50s onward Ive gained a lot of weight around my stomach. If I do lose weight it comes off my face which makes me look older - or my legs. My stomach seems to be the one area taking its time to reduce.

As we progress through midlife, you may notice that despite best efforts weight begins to accumulate around your middle. The changes we undergo in midlife directly impact our waistline its not just overindulgence or a lack of dieting motivation.

There are various reasons why women often put on weight during their perimenopause and menopause. Scientifically speaking, low oestrogen levels lead to metabolic changes in our bodies. They also lead to sugar cravings and increased hunger, so we comfort eat to try and improve how we feel. In short, hormonal changes can lead to a redistribution of fat around our waists.

Women generally store more subcutaneous (soft) fat in the abdominal and thigh area whilst men store more visceral (hard) fat in the abdominal area, says Dr Donnai. This starts happening when they hit puberty and remains the same till they reach 40. After this age, hormonal changes take place in both men and women.

Women go through perimenopause and menopause and the fat storage tendencies shift. They gain more hard abdominal fat due to lower testosterone and oestrogen levels and men gain more soft fat. Maintaining healthy hormone levels will not only contribute to increased energy levels but easier control of weight gain.

Matt Tanner, senior performance specialist at Bodyism, suggests that if youre already eating well, to target belly fat, you need to ensure that youre getting adequate sleep, keeping your stress levels low, and sticking to a regular exercise regime.

Full body, compound exercises are always a good place to start for burning body fat, such as squats, lunges, rows and press-ups, but find something you enjoy and you can do regularly, he says. High Intensity exercise is often said to be the most beneficial for fat loss but can often put excessive stress on the body, so implementing lower impact options such as yoga, Pilates and walking will help put minimal stress on the body, but lead to more sustainable and consistent results, as well as reducing your risk of injury.

Trying to lose weight or get a flatter stomach in midlife? Here's everything you need to know - Telegraph.co.uk

Exercising is a crucial part of keeping healthy and it can reduce the risk of developing several diseases. The NHS recommends adults partake in regular activity, which can have immediate and long-term benefits.

As for time of day, there are research-based benefits to walking at any time of the day.

If you choose to walk in the morning, it is more likely youll form a new, lasting habit.

According to Healthline, walking in the morning can also boost your energy as well as improving your mood for the rest of the day.

Whats more, walking in the morning could also help to improve sleep quality and assist you in making healthier choices throughout the day.

David went on: Theres also research to show a reduced attraction to photos of food following a brisk 45-minute walk and further studies have found that morning aerobic activity such as walking can improve endurance capacity in comparison to evening aerobic exercise, also raising your heart rate and metabolism to burn more calories throughout the day.

In order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume, and this will obviously vary from person to person.

If you want to lose weight from walking, I would recommend walking between 8,000 and 12,000 steps per day. This can easily be achieved by aiming to increase the number of steps you take daily by around 20 percent.

The number of calories you can burn walking will again vary from person to person. On average a person can burn between 90 and 350 calories on a 30-minute walk, but this will depend greatly on the speed, intensity and incline.

To help burn maximum number calories, the expert advises alternating the pace of your walking.

He explained: It is advised to alternate the pace, and turn your walk into a HIIT workout (i.e. alternating walking at a steady pace, with walking fast/ at a steep incline/on a challenging terrain). Research consistently shows that HIIT training is beneficial for weight loss, and this type of workout can be achieved on a walk.

To make your walks more challenging and, in turn, burn more calories, you can add ankle weights, a backpack or increase the incline. Walking different and more challenging routes can help to make walking more fun and more difficult.

Its also the perfect exercise to do with a friend or in a group, making it social and more fun, ensuring it will be an activity you can stick to. Walking with a friend or in a group will also make you more accountable and less likely to skip a workout which will aid your weight loss efforts.

Creating a walking play list that you want to listen to can also entice you out for walks and including a mix of tracks with different tempos and beats can help you to change the intensity and speed of your workout to burn maximum calories.

Do you want to lose weight as quickly as possible? When it comes to fast weight loss, its important to take a healthy approach one that promotes loss of fat, retention of muscle, and increases your likelihood of keeping the weight off.

Meal plans designed for results

With our personalized meal plans, we do the planning for you. All you have to focus on is cooking, eating, and enjoying healthy, delicious food.

Health authorities typically recommend losing about 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 0.9 kilo) per week, and many people seem to lose weight at about this rate.

Therefore, losing any more than 2 pounds (0.9 kilo) per week is considered fast weight loss. Yet for many people, that may not sound quick.

While losing 10 pounds (4.5 kilos) in a week may technically be possible for some especially those who carry a lot of excess weight it isnt realistic for most of us.

What if you eat only 500 or 600 calories a day? Although drastically cutting calories can cause rapid weight loss, consuming far less than your body needs can be counterproductive.

Severe calorie restriction can make you feel extremely hungry, deprived, and fatigued. Whats more, it often leads to loss of muscle, or lean mass.

Generally speaking, the more lean mass you have, the more calories your body burns at rest. Loss of muscle during very-low-calorie dieting can slow down metabolism, making future regain much more likely.

So fast weight loss via severe calorie restriction may not be a good idea for many people.

Is it possible to lose weight both rapidly and permanently? Yes, indeed.

Recent research suggests that people who lose weight quickly are just as likely to keep pounds or kilos off as those who lose weight more gradually.Moreover, preserving lean mass seems to decrease a persons risk for regain, regardless of how long it takes them to lose the weight.

Therefore, for fast weight loss thats also healthy and sustainable, aim to lose fat without losing muscle.

In addition, several factors influence how quickly you can lose weight. Women typically lose weight more slowly than men. And because metabolic rate tends to decline with age, older women may lose at a slower pace than younger men and women despite putting in just as much effort, if not more.

Are you ready to start losing fat in a healthy way while enjoying delicious, nourishing food that prevents you from feeling hungry or deprived?

Below, youll find the simple steps to take to start losing weight quickly.

Start by eliminating foods high in carbs: sweets, bread, pasta, fruit, and similar foods. Going low carb can significantly speed up weight loss, for several reasons.

First, according to high-quality research, very-low-carb diets also known as keto diets reduce hunger.This allows you to eat less and lose weight quickly without deliberately restricting calories and without feeling hungry or deprived.

Several studies have shown that low-carb eating is more effective than other diets for losing fat quickly.

This impressive fat loss may be partly due to the drop in insulin levels that occur during keto eating. When insulin levels are low, your body is primed to burn rather than store fat.

Finally, some research suggests that continuing to eat low carb to maintain your new weight may help keep your metabolic rate up, increasing the likelihood that youll keep the weight off.

How many carbs should you eat to lose weight quickly? Sticking to 20 or fewer grams of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per day may produce the fastest results.

But instead of counting every carb, you can simply choose foods from our ketogenic diet foods list below and avoid any foods that arent on it.

Note: Be sure to read our tips to avoid or minimize symptoms of the keto flu before going low carb.

Protein is an essential nutrient your body needs to survive and thrive. In addition, boosting your protein intake may help speed up your weight loss.

For starters, protein can suppress your appetite by triggering your body to release hormones that help you feel full and satisfied.

In addition, protein has a higher thermic effect than fat and carbohydrates. This means your body burns slightly more calories digesting protein compared to the two other macronutrients.

Eating plenty of protein can also help you retain your all-important lean mass and prevent your metabolism from slowing down as you lose weight.

Indeed, several systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials have shown that higher-protein diets tend to promote weight loss while preserving muscle.

We recommend consuming 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of reference weight or ideal body weight per day. For example, a woman who currently weighs 170 pounds but whose ideal body weight (or reference weight) is 130 pounds (59 kilos) would aim to eat 69 to 118 grams of protein per day.

Check out our list of top 10 high protein foods which includes vegetarian options to see how much protein your favorite foods provide.

When youre trying to drop pounds or kilos quickly, eating less fat may seem to make sense.

However, its not a good idea to eat a diet thats low in both carbs and fat. Youll likely end up feeling deprived within a few days or weeks and it certainly isnt sustainable long term.Theres no need to fear fat.

That said, eating excessive amounts of fat isnt a good strategy for quick weight loss either. Even on a very-low-carb diet, eating more fat than your body needs can slow down rather than speed up weight loss.

So dont add large amounts of butter, heavy cream, or other fat to your food. Also, avoid or minimize your intake of fat bombs and similar treats that provide very little protein or other nutrients.

Instead, eat enough fat to add flavor and richness to your food but not so much that you feel stuffed. Let your body burn its stored fat rather than the fat you are eating.

Leafy greens and other non-starchy vegetables are excellent foods for fast weight loss. Theyre very low in carbs and calories yet provide fiber that can help you feel full.

The Atkins diet, which has helped millions of people lose weight, recommends eating two cups of leafy green vegetables and one cup of other low-carb vegetables every day. This advice is designed to produce fast weight loss during the initial stage of the diet.

In the 2007 A to Z weight loss trial, people who followed the Atkins diet lost an average of 10 pounds within the first two months far more than people who followed the other three diets being studied.Other studies have also reported rapid weight loss in participants who included several daily servings of low-carb vegetables.

While these studies dont prove that the veggies caused the weight loss, they do show that low-carb, fiber-filled veggies can be part of a rapid weight loss diet.

How many low-carb vegetables should you eat? We recommend that you eat as many keto-friendly vegetables as you want while staying within your daily carbohydrate target. For many people, this will be about two servings per day, but a great deal of individual variation exists.

Will exercising for several hours every day help you lose weight faster? According to studies, physical activity by itself has a limited effect on weight loss. What you eat appears to play a much larger role.

However, getting regular exercise can provide benefits during weight loss.

Engaging in aerobic activity (e.g., walking briskly or bicycling) and resistance training (e.g., lifting weights) can boost your metabolic rate and help preserve muscle mass as you lose weight.

While its good to engage in physical activity, working out vigorously for several hours every day isnt necessary or advisable for weight loss and good health. Plus, making dramatic changes to both your diet and exercise routine at the same time can be overwhelming.

So try to lift weights, do push-ups, or perform other resistance exercise for 15 to 30 minutes a few times a week. Walk, run, dance, ride a bike, or do similar aerobic activity for 30 to 60 minutes on most days, if possible.

In short, aim to move your body in some way every day without forcing yourself to do more than you can comfortably handle.
