style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people aim at slimming down for a certain event, which means they have a precise time frame. But even so, the most important thing is your health. That said, you should always prioritize the safest weight loss. Numerous fad diets state that they can help you shed an enormous number of pounds in a short term. However, rapid weight loss is almost never a great idea. Methods that those diets use often bear lots of risks and are accompanied by many side effects. With this in mind, instead of looking for a diet that, as it claims, can help you shed an extreme number of pounds in a short time, start from the opposite end of the equation and ask for example \u201cHow much weight can I lose in 8 weeks?\u201d. In this article, you will find out why rapid weight loss is not a good choice, what is a healthy weight loss pace and how many pounds can you safely shed in 8 weeks. Buckle up and let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.betterme.world\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=How_Much_Weight_Can_I_Lose_In_8_Weeks\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41517 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ezgif-1-aab5e49b87.gif\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basics_Of_A_Healthy_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Basics Of A Healthy Weight Loss<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lose-5-pounds-in-a-week-meal-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lose 5 pounds in a week<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/7-day-diet-to-lose-10-pounds\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lose 10 lbs in a week<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-can-i-lose-1-pound-a-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lose 1 pound in a day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d \u2013 these are some of the promises that many popular diets feed you. Unfortunately, a number of people tend to believe the claims that those fad diets make, and hope that their excess pounds will miraculously disappear once they start dieting. But then reality hits hard: it is impossible to lose that much weight in such terms in a healthy way. Nutritional plans that claim to have such an \u201cunbelievable result\u201d are either too restrictive, and poorly balanced, or simply ineffective. Therefore, before starting to plan your weight loss journey, you need to find out how many pounds you can lose in a week in a healthy way, and how many calories you will have to cut to reach such results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consume fewer calories than you burn, your body begins to use its stored fat as an energy source. That is how you lose weight (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/where-does-body-fat-go-when-you-lose-weight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This means, to slim down you need to create a caloric deficit, in other words, eat fewer calories and work out more (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/weight-loss\/art-20047752\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Now, let\u2019s calculate how many pounds you can shed while following a healthy diet that creates an adequate caloric deficit. Experts recommend reducing your daily energy intake by 500-1,000 calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/calories\/art-20048065\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). And one pound of fat contains 3,500 calories. This means that you can lose about 1-2 pounds in a week (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/expert-answers\/fast-weight-loss\/faq-20058289\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Next multiply this by 8, and you will get 8-16 pounds.

Creating an extreme caloric deficit is what many fad diets are based on. Following such diets may result in rapid weight loss, which brings along numerous health issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to keep in mind that if a diet requires you to eat a very limited variety or quantity of foods, it can\u2019t be a healthy diet. The human body is a complicated system, which requires lots of different nutrients to perform its functions properly. If you consistently fail to provide your body with vital nutrients, nutritional deficiency occurs. Many diets that require you to extremely reduce your caloric intake lead to rapid weight loss, which is often accompanied by the following side effects (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/guide\/rapid-weight-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dehydration<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malnutrition<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrolyte imbalances<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Menstrual irregularities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair and muscle loss<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although in some cases doctors prescribe very-low-calorie diets which lead to weight loss, such nutritional plans should be followed only under medical supervision (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/expert-answers\/fast-weight-loss\/faq-20058289\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Of course, you can understand those people who wish their excess fat would just vanish while they keep on munching on sweets, French fries, burgers, pizza, and salty snacks. However, that is not how weight loss works.

You don\u2019t need to be a nutritionist to understand that there is a great difference between the modern diet rich in junk food, added sugars, saturated fats, and refined carbs, and a healthy diet packed with lean proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Refined carbs are also not as nutritionally rich as unrefined carbs. They lack fiber, which helps you stay full and promotes digestive health.

Some of the best calorie-busters are<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cardio\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cardio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hiit-for-beginners\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIIT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you aim at muscle growth, then weight training is what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing about working out is enjoying not only the results but also the process.

Therefore, no matter which nutritional plan you choose as long as they create an adequate caloric deficit. So, answers to such questions as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow much weight can I lose in 8 weeks on keto?\u201d, \u201cHow much weight can I lose in 8 weeks on a low carb diet?\u201d and \u201cHow many pounds can I shed in 8 weeks on Paleo?\u201d all depend on which caloric deficit you create.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Lose_10_Pounds_In_A_Week\"><\/span><b>Can I Lose 10 Pounds In A Week?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To answer this question, let&#8217;s do some math. Since 1 pound of fat equals 3,500 calories, in order to shed 10 pounds in a week a person needs to burn 35,000 additional calories in a week, or 5,000 calories a day. Now, since an average adult man requires (i.e. burns) 2,500 calories a day, and an average adult woman burns 2,000 calories a day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/common-health-questions\/food-and-diet\/what-should-my-daily-intake-of-calories-be\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), it is highly unlikely for them to burn an extra 5,000 calories a day on top of that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, it may be possible for a person to shed this amount of weight in only 7 days. If a person is obese or extremely overweight and requires a certain surgical procedure, their doctor may prescribe them a very low-calorie diet for a short period leading up to the procedure, which they will follow under medical supervision (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/low-calorie-diets\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/healthy-weight\/very-low-calorie-diets\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every process should go at its own pace. The pace is especially important when it comes to weight loss. Experts recommend losing 1-2 pounds a week. This result is sustainable and healthy. If you are wondering: \u201cHow much weight can I lose in 8 weeks?\u201d, then if you stick to a safe and gradual weight loss, your result will be 8-16 pounds. If you slim down too rapidly, you may not only get an unsustainable result, but also experience many negative side effects, including malnutrition, dehydration, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, hair and muscle loss, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, it is best to cut your daily caloric intake by 500-1,000 and enjoy a healthy result. You can create a caloric deficit with the help of a balanced diet and regular exercise. To make sure that your body gets all it needs from food, try to eat up on such foods as fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fatty fish, whole grains, dairy products, beans and legumes, and nuts and seeds. You should also keep at bay unhealthy foods and components, such as highly processed foods, added sugars, empty calories, saturated and trans fats, refined carbs, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides your dietary plan, you should also change up your workout routine. Increase your levels of physical activity and try some cardio, HIIT, weightlifting, or whatever feels right for you. Try to find something that you truly like so that you would anticipate and enjoy your every workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure that you have planned everything correctly, before starting to follow your new healthy lifestyle, please, consult with a health care provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_Much_Weight_Can_I_Lose_In_8_Weeks\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.
