In weight loss the direction is definitely more important than speed. This is an important thing to remenber when embarking on a weight loss regime. The rapidity of weight loss also depends on the method used.
Usually when you lose weight by using a diet, the recommended speed is 500 grammes per week. If you are losing more than that a week, there is a good chance your diet is too limited and you´re not getting all the nutrients your body needs from your food. Value Slim makes sure you eat a healthy diet when losing weight.
The more overweight you are the faster the kilos will come off in the beginning
of a diet.
But it is good to keep in mind that at some point it will become harder to lose the kilos and shifting those last few kilos are the hardest. But the main thing is to keep at it and not get frustrated when the kilos won´t shift as easily as in the beginning.
It is also good to remember that after slimming down your body won´t need as much energy aka calories as before, so if you go back to your old ways after losing weight, the kilos will just come back.

When people start a diet they usually set a goal weight for themselves. There are no set rules what this goal should be, but instead a goal is always individual and flexible. Lot of things like the dieters age, health and starting weight affect the target weight. But seen from a medical point of view the minimun target should be to reach a BMI of 30, because a BMI higher than 30 means a big increase in the risk of many health problems.
So it´s not always just the kilos you should be concentrating on. Besides BMI another good way to measure your progress is to take your body measurements. Healthwise it is actually more useful to measure your waistline than weight yourself. The right place for th is measurement
is 2 centimetres above the belly button. According to the World Health Organization guidelines a women´s waistline shouldn´t be over 79 cm and a man´ s more than 93 cm.
A great way to reach your target when it comes to weight loss is the ValueSlim plan, an easy and healthy way to slim down.
