Here’s the Key to Healthy, Sustainable Weight Loss"},"content":{"rendered":"
If you weigh more than you\u2019d like to, you probably want to drop weight quickly to achieve your goals. But, how much weight can you lose in a month?<\/p>\n
More importantly, how much weight can you safely<\/em> lose in a month?<\/p>\n If you\u2019re preparing for swimsuit season, a wedding, or another event that\u2019s 30 days away, you might be wondering how much weight can you lose in a month.<\/p>\n Keep reading to learn how to lose weight quickly and safely.<\/p>\n \t\t In just 6-weeks on our FOUNDATIONS<\/u> Program, you'll transform your health and body, for the rest of your life!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t A healthy rate of weight loss is different from the maximum amount of weight you can lose in one month, as rapid weight loss isn't always sustainable long term.<\/p>\n A good rule of thumb is to drop 1-2 pounds per week, as this is a weight loss rate you can maintain long term, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC<\/a>) reports.<\/p>\n In order to lose 1 pound of body fat per week, you must expend about 3,500 more calories than you eat each week.<\/p>\n This requires dropping your current energy intake by 500 calories per day.<\/p>\n Because 7,000 calories equate to 2 pounds of body fat, reduce your energy intake by 1,000 calories daily to achieve a weight loss of 2 pounds per week or 8-10 pounds in a month.<\/p>\n The maximum amount of weight you can lose in one month is about 20 pounds, or 5 pounds per week.<\/p>\n But to achieve this goal you\u2019ll likely have to eat just 500-800 calories daily for 30 days vs. 1,200-1,800 calories often recommended during a 1-2 pound per week weight loss.<\/p>\n Diets containing just 500-800 calories per day are classified as very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs), which are best suited as medically supervised weight loss programs for people with immediate obesity-related health risks.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because following VLCDs long-term puts you at risk of nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, gallstones<\/a>, hair loss, and other unwelcome side effects of rapid weight loss.<\/p>\n To achieve safe weight loss, stick with a goal of dropping about 10 pounds in a one-month period vs. rapid weight loss.<\/p>\n Below is a list of various calorie deficits and the amount of weight you can lose:<\/p>\n These numbers are just estimates, as everybody's metabolism is different.<\/p>\n As a general rule, the more calories you burn (or the fewer calories you eat) the more weight you\u2019ll drop!<\/p>\n \t\t Fit Mother Project is the first sustainable health & weight loss program designed exclusively for busy mothers just like you...<\/p>\r\rLEARN MORE ABOUT FM30X \u00bb <\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t FM30X is the first sustainable weight loss program designed exclusively for *busy* mothers like you... <\/p>\n Learn More ><\/span><\/a>\n <\/div>\n Shedding pounds involves making simple lifestyle changes that allow your body to burn more calories than you eat on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Following the tips and tricks below can help you safely lose 8-10 pounds in a month!<\/p>\n Foods you\u2019ll likely end up eating are the foods you keep at home, which is why creating smart grocery shopping lists is an important step in losing 8-10 pounds in 30 days.<\/p>\n Make the decision to avoid buying junk food.<\/p>\n Steer clear of chips, fried foods, baked goods, sweets, sugary drinks, pizza, processed meats, refined grains (white bread, white rice, etc.), and other highly processed foods. Instead, choose:<\/p>\n By keeping only healthy, whole foods in your pantry, slimming down in a month will happen quickly!<\/p>\n You probably already know that sugary drinks can hinder weight loss.<\/p>\n Increasing your water intake and cutting out sodas, sweet tea, lemonade, and other sugary drinks can drastically improve weight loss in a month.<\/p>\n Aim to drink 2 cups of water before meals<\/a> and at least 12 cups<\/a> of fluid daily for women.<\/p>\n Black coffee and unsweetened tea count too!<\/p>\n \t\t In just 6-weeks on our FOUNDATIONS<\/u> Program, you'll transform your health and body, for the rest of your life!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Eliminate alcohol to drop as much weight as you can in one month.<\/p>\n Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram and can provide 100-500 calories<\/a> or more in just a single drink!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re unable to nix alcohol entirely, cut back to just one drink or less per day.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to exercise regularly to drop up to 10 pounds in one month.<\/p>\n Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise daily up to 60 minutes per day to burn extra calories and enhance weight loss.<\/p>\n The Fit Mother Project 30X (FM30X<\/a>) provides numerous fat-burning workouts you can easily fit into a busy schedule.<\/p>\n Give a free workout a try by signing up for the FREE Fit Mom 3-Day Weight Loss Jumpstart<\/a> today!<\/p>\n \t\t Let us show you how you can start losing weight this week!
