The results of controversial research on how long to lose weight reveal that losing weight fast or losing weight little by little makes no difference in terms of health.

So the lightning diets, those fast diets that many demonize, can be absolutely valid like a gradual weight loss. Researchers at York University explain that those who want to lose weight quickly have no health advantages, but no disadvantages either.

Losing weight for those who need it is fine both with a fast diet and with a diet that allows the loss of up to half a kilo per week. There are no cardiovascular or metabolic risks to following a fast diet , contrary to what has always been thought.

The only problem? If anything, to maintain the weight achieved.
That is, those who use a drastic and fast diet to lose weight must then behave in such a way as not to regain weight. And it has been seen that the only way to manage not to gain weight again, according to previous studies, is to maintain the weight achieved for a period ranging from one to two years. Only in this way does it stabilize.

Since we are more likely to maintain the weight we lost if we lose weight a little at a time, the risk of a quick diet is that we will gain weight again if we are not careful. And this yes is harmful to health.
