    Only if training stops you from eating.

    You can "loose" you mind, but you can "lose" some weight....

    Altitude training provides no significant benefit over normal diet and exercise unless you are a top 1% athlete in your sport. Save your money and stick to the basics

    Why do you want to lose "fast"? In general, anything that promises fast weight loss is either a scam, unhealthy, and/or just going to cause you to lose water weight rather than fat.

    Altitude training is something that endurance athletes may do to slightly increase their athletic ability. It's not something you need to do for weight loss. You lose weight by consistently eating fewer calories than you burn.

    Altitude training won't make you lose any faster than any other kind of training.

    I had to look at it twice too!

    But ... loose is used in the sentence: "There is a screw loose."

    And ... lose is used in the sentence: "You could lose your mind."

    Also ... "If you lose weight, your pants will be loose!!" :grin:

    Lol

    I don't know how many times I have started a thread on the difference between "loose" and "lose". But each time I just delete it, shake my head and walk away.

    Glad to see I am not the only one who LOSES their mind over this!

    "Lose" is a verb.
    "Loose" is an adjective.

    But if you know the difference between a verb and an adjective you have likely been using the word correctly anyway.

    You can use "loose" as a verb in some cases, meaning to release or set free--"Loose the Kraken!" You don't want to lose the Kraken because it'll likely find you before you find it.

    This.

    I'm fascinated by the number of threads where people use loose instead of lose. Not that I'd pick someone up on it as this isn't a grammar or spelling forum. I use another forum where pedantry is an art form and I sometimes need to remember where I am and bite my tongue :D

    @poonampattani81 Altitude training has show some cardiovascular performance benefits when an athlete returns to a lower altitude but has no effect on weight loss.

    Also as others have said don't focus on the speed of fat loss focus on the long term results. You'll be a LOT happier with the results.
