The Skinny on Weight Loss & Maintenance



Today, ladies and gentlemen, we discuss one of  the required parameters for "losing weight," a goal which I disallow my clients. ( More on that another time)

TIME. Yes, you have it. Stop lying.

Here's what it takes:

Moderate intensity (4-6 METs) exercise.

To lose a MODEST amount of weight: 150-250 minutes per week
To lose a SIGNIFICANT amount of weight: 250+ minutes/week.
To PREVENT weight gain: 150-250 minutes/week.
To MAINTAIN WEIGHT after a LOSS: 250+ minutes/week.

No, there are no "quick fixes" or immediate results. Hard work, discipline, and time.
Now, get to work.
