The question: You always hear plans promising to help you lose 5 or 10 pounds in one week—but how much can you realistically lose in seven days?

The expert: Lauren Slayton, M.S., R.D., author of the upcoming The Little Book of Thin

The answer: In general, when you’re pulling out all the stops, you’re probably not going to be able to lose more than three or four pounds a week. Granted, this stat varies depending on your baseline factors, including your starting weight (people who begin at a higher weight tend to see more dramatic losses) and what your lifestyle was like to begin with (if you’re already eating pretty healthily and exercising, it’s going to be harder to see a big drop than if you completely overhaul your diet and fitness routine). Some people may report losing even more pounds on cleanses, but that’s most likely inflated by changes in water weight (which is different than losing fat and/or muscle mass).

That said—what you can lose and what you should lose are two different things. “If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you want to do it more in the one to two pounds per week range,” says Slayton. That’s ultimately going to be more sustainable—and easier to stay on track with—than going to extreme measures to drop three pounds in one week, only to see them come right back on.

If you really want to step up your weight loss—without sacrificing long-term results—Slayton suggests intermittently cutting back on calories (more than you would on a typical day). Similar to doing intervals on the treadmill, this should help you slim down without your having to completely overhaul your schedule—and without slowing down your metabolism.

Nak juga selit pengalaman sepanjang aku ubah gaya hidup, cara pemakanan dan mentaliti nak sihat ni.
Bermula bulan Julai 2012 sampailah sekarang (terkini Mac 2014).
Struggle di antara nak turunkan berat badan, untuk dapatkan kitaran period yang teratur dan secara langsung untuk memudahcara usaha aku untuk conceive.

Awal-awal berdiet Herbalife dulu, alhamdulillah berat badan turun dengan signifikan sekali.
Diam tak diam, aku dapat turunkan berat badan dari 80.6kg kepada lebih kurang 62kg sekarang; iaitu sebanyak tambah tolak 17-18kg dalam masa setahun lebih. Lepas setahun berdiet, baru mula ada keberanian untuk tambah aktiviti fizikal dalam rutin harian; seingat aku sejak bulan Oktober 2013 aku baru berjinak-jinak dengan zumba, brisk walking, jogging, power walk, weight lifting dan circuit training sampailah sekarang.

Bila berat badan dah turun pada range yang reasonable tapi belum mencapai berat badan ideal dengan ketinggian, kitaran haid pun mula nampak teratur tanpa makan ubat hormon, ubat turun darah waima pil perancang. Walaupun kitaran period beransur-ansur dari cycle panjang (38-40 hari) ke cycle yang normal (28-30 hari), syukur alhamdulillah rasanya. 

Sampai satu tahap (sekarang ni la!), berat badan dah mula statik, turun naik tang tu. Sekarang aku stuck di angka 62-64kg untuk beberapa bulan. Mungkin betul juga ayat dalam artikel di atas tu;

"Granted, this stat varies depending on your baseline factors, including your starting weight (people who begin at a higher weight tend to see more dramatic losses) and what your lifestyle was like to begin with (if you’re already eating pretty healthily and exercising, it’s going to be harder to see a big drop than if you completely overhaul your diet and fitness routine)"

Awal-awal dulu masa berat badan 80.6kg dan pemakanan tak terkawal, bila mula berdiet proses penurunan berat badan laju. Tapi bila dah sampai tahap tinggal beberapa kilo lagi nak kena turunkan (9-10kg lagi kot *lap peluh), badan dah terbiasa dengan aktiviti fizikal dan pemakanan dah terjaga, proses penurunan berat badan tu dah kurang signifikan. Kalau pun ada, kayu pengukur yang boleh digunapakai adalah bila orang dah nampak kita lebih 'kecil' berbanding dulu walaupun berat badan statik.

P/s: Perkara asas.....be realistic!
