Millions of people all over the world are struggling to lose excess pounds with varying success. There are countless weight loss diets and programs which promise quick and easy weigh loss but losing excess pounds is never easy and everyone who tried or succeeded to achieve an optimal body weight are well aware of it. In addition to losing weight, many face even greater difficulties with healthy body weight maintenance.
Overweight greatly increases the risk of developing series of diseases which can seriously affect the quality of life and even lead to premature death. Thus weight loss is of great importance for health but losing excess pounds alone is not enough.

You cannot live from a cabbage soup for the rest of your life, can you? A healthy weight loss foresees loss of no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week, while healthy body weight maintenance requires permanent change of lifestyle which means permanent change of eating habits and adequate physical activity.
Everyone wants to lose excess pounds as soon as possible but before starting any weight loss program you need to be aware that you did not become overweight overnight and you cannot expect to achieve an optimal body weight within a week or two either. Technically you can lose more than 2 pounds a week but it would require cutting of calories drastically which can seriously affect your abilities to work and to perform common daily task and even jeopardize your health. Always keep in mind that you need to obtain all the necessary nutrients and enough energy from the food even while losing weight.
