You're Not Losing Weight

Weight loss needs time for us to see results, for the body to change its shape, access its fat stores and use them for energy, and re-contour itself by building lean body tissue,” says Kraus. “Remember, one pound of weight is equivalent to 3,500 calories. If you need 2,500 calories just to maintain your weight, you would need to consistently eat only 2,000 calories daily and exercise about 30 minutes daily (to burn another 250 calories) in order to see a true 1.5-pound weight loss in one week.” It sounds like a lot of effort — and it is. “Diet plans that make hard-to-believe promises are exactly that — hard to believe,” says Kraus.
