Frequently asked questions about weight loss tips:

There is no quick fix for weight loss. If you are determined to keep your weight off long-term, you will find ways of making healthy eating your lifestyle. Always eat more, not less of the right foods as part of a good diet plan for weight loss.

Fitbit Dietitian[3], Tracy Morris, with her 7-day plan, says don’t try to lose more than 2 pounds per week or eat less than 1200 calories per day. This can compromise your metabolism. She says it’s not a long-term plan – you won’t want to eat like this every week.

The point of this diet is to lose weight to kick-start your long-term diet and weight goals. The Biggest Loser show makes for great TV because diet and exercises are strict and regulated. Outside that kind of environment, it might not prove as effective and successful for everyone long-term.

The average woman needs 2,000 calories per day to maintain weight and ± 1,500 calories daily to lose one pound per week. The average man requires 2,500 calories per day to maintain weight and ± 2,000 calories daily to lose one pound per week.

Weight loss and good health come with building a strong and healthy body. A Biggest Loser trainer, Bob Harper, suggests that you do around 60-90 minutes of moderate exercises, four times a week.
