Weight Loss For Men – 1,800 Calorie Diet
If you want to lose weight, then the 1,800 calorie diet is the hands-down the absolute fastest way to lose weight. In the title, I said “for men”.
The reason I did this is because the 1,800 calorie diet is popular for men and the 1,200 calorie diet is more popular to women.
This is because approximately 1,200 calories for women and 1,800 calories for men is the absolute bare minimum that each gender can take in consistently and still be in good health.
Since this is the bare minimum amount of calories you can take in, this is the absolute fastest diet to help you lose weight period and stay healthy and safe.
What happens if you take in less calories?
A number of things can happen, but some of the “biggies” are that your body can’t function at that small of an amount of calories, so it starts to make adjustments like lowering your metabolism, storing fat and burning muscle, instead of fat, for energy. It also makes it very difficult for your systems to function properly, and you get sick easier because your immune system is low..
The list goes on and on.
If you want to lose weight fast, it’s important that you do not go below this amount of calories. Actually, with this diet, it is important that every 7 days, you have a cheat day.
It announces to the body that we are not starving, keep burning those calories, keep that metabolism high, drop the weight, and shed the fat.
