When losing weight, how fast is too fast? Doctor-supported weight loss is the key.

Many weight loss programs advertise rapid weight loss, but how do you know what's safe and what's not? Rapid weight loss could be detrimental to your health or counterproductive to your weight loss goals. There are many reasons you shouldn't try to shed pounds too quickly.

When you lose weight too fast, it can lead to nutrient deficiencies and weight gain later on. Additionally, your body will start to store fat at an accelerated rate in response to the sudden drop in calories. That means that when you stop dieting, the pounds will return even faster than they went away! Being under the supervision of a trained weight loss doctor can ensure that you're losing at a healthy rate and being monitored during your weight loss journey every step of the way.

Why rapid weight loss shouldn't be your goal

In order to lose weight, you have to stick to a specific calorie deficit. Knowing the correct deficit for your body is critical, because it is possible to decrease your caloric intake too much. If you are in a deficit that is too low, you could end up losing muscle weight instead of fat. This can yield weight loss, but it may leave you looking sick, weak and emaciated. Plus, it can become unsustainable. This can lead to burn out.

Burn out happens much faster when you're too restrictive, and, in turn, you could end up giving up and gaining all the weight back. It is imperative to practice healthy eating habits throughout your weight loss journey. In some cases, losing weight too quickly might mean you're lacking important nutrients for your body. Not only will healthy eating habits aid your weight loss journey, but they will also teach you how to maintain your health far beyond you reach your goal weight.

Other side effects of rapid weight loss include low blood pressure, dehydration, dizziness, constipation, hair-loss, and fatigue. A doctor-supported weight loss program, like Zoomloss, is suggested to keep you on a healthy track and hold you accountable throughout the process.

How to approach weight loss the right way

At Zoomloss, we provide doctor-supported weight loss. This means you would be working with a trained and experienced weight loss doctor who is able to run necessary tests to determine the best plan for your unique body type and health status. Many people struggle with knowing what to do (or what not to do) when trying to lose weight. It is a common misconception that, in order to lose weight, you have to either starve yourself, use weight loss drugs, or perform crazy amounts of cardio. Weight loss doctors are here to guide you in the right direction. Once you start working with an experienced doctor, you will see almost immediate results. We guarantee it! Be sure to ask about our weight loss guarantee.

Nutrition plays the biggest part when it comes to losing weight. It is important to make sure you are getting all the essential nutrients into your diet while maintaining a calorie deficit. Diets are not 'one-size-fits-all' - everyone has different nutritional needs for their bodies, so following a trendy diet might not work for you. After we evaluate you, we are able to determine the proper nutritional balance needed to help you attain your goal. Not only can we help you reach your goals safely and naturally, but we give you the knowledge and tools needed to maintain and lock in your new weight so you don't revert back.

Long-term health is the goal -- not a quick fix. Proper, healthy weight loss starts with a consultation, a medical survey, and an evaluation. Once we know your unique situation, together, we can create a custom dietary plan. Zoomloss incorporates both group and individual accountability tools, so you stay on track. Zoomloss comes with a money-back guarantee because we know how important it is to trust the process.

If I Lose Weight, Will I Gain The Weight Back? Weight Fluctuation Explained.

By Dr. Ian Rainey • 11 Aug, 2022

There is no guarantee that you will lose weight and keep it off. If you are following a fad diet, the weight loss may be temporary. The fad diet will not address the cause of your weight gain and therefore you will likely regain the weight when you go back to eating what caused the weight gain in the first place.
