Why Is Losing Weight Slowly Right For You? Losing weight rapidly does bring noticeable results within a short time, but it may not be the most effective way to lose weight and it can lead to certain health problems. Here are 6 reasons why weight loss should/must be a slow process. 1. Maintains Weight Loss- If you try to lose weight fast it is more likely that you will gain back the weight you lost. Rapid weight loss WILL cause your metabolism to slow down after some time. 2. Safer Way To Lose Weight- Losing weight slowly ensures that you will not experience health problems that are associated with weight loss. It is known that rapid and extreme weight loss can result in health problems such as nutrient deficeincies, dehydration and even heart attack. 3. Eliminates Muscle Loss- If you are going on a strict diet to lose weight fast, your body will receive insuffiecient amounts of calories. When your body does not have enough calories, it will try to obtain energy from other sources, sucha as muscle cells. As a consequence of muscle loss, your body will become less toned, a condition that is often described as "skinny fat." 4. Prevents Loose Skin- Rapid weight loss often leads to the lossening of skin. Although the skin is an elastic organ, it needs time to adjust to the loss of body mass. 5. Healthier Hair- When you reduce the consumption of food, you will be deprived of some important vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are required for maintaining healthy hair. 6. Reduces Fatigue- Most rapid weight loss diets are low in calories and protein, and they do not provide sufficient energy for you to lead an active lifestyle which will cause you to experience fatigue and tiredness throughout the day.
